Blood Bowl Begins
DIR By: CMonster
Date: May 29, 2016, 1:08 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
The Blood Bowl stage is ready for action. In the past I have
always intended to generate a PVP arena styled event but it
seemed as though the server would reset just as I was getting
things going. This is a melee only event.
The dynamic is simple. Players step onto the platform and duke
it out until one falls dead, or one jumps from the stage. If a
person leaves the stage or falls off, can't go back up. This
means you don't actually have to die if you don't want to (since
we now have health loss), but it might mean you lose the match
when you could have potentially won.
Armor is not allowed, since there is too much of a disparity
between the armor values of player skills. Only shirts, pants,
and basic cloth type identifiers can be worn.
Players can face-off with 1V1s or group matches but three main
events will be recorded for posterity sake. These are the Blood
Bowl Three:
- Free-for-all Street Fight --> A group of players are put in
the ring with rank 600 knives, and everyone shivs each other in
the kidneys. Last person standing is the street fighter king.
- Brute Squad Brawl --> Individual small groups (two to four
players per faction, and two to four factions per match) are put
into the ring with rank 600 iron-reinforced clubs. Teams will
be identified by their shirt and pants colors (this lets you
battle with your friends so pick a color and start looking for
those good shirts and pants). Last person still standing will
win for his faction.
- Drunken Bar Brawl Team Death Match --> Two sides are arranged
with two different shirt and pants colors. Both sides then
drink vodka until they are shloshed and then it's a face punch
fest until the last person tips over. No weapons, just good old
fisticuffs. Last one standing, um, swaying, is the Bar Brawl
Champ.
We'll have a record of all winners, and arena histories for
standing champions. No rewards besides the laurels of victory,
and bounties.
Bounties - this event-style combat also allows for some
interesting things to happen as a result of bounties. Don't
like that champ who beat you down? Now is the time to put out
some cash on his head, or chase him down in the bowl to gather
the cash for yourself. Want to be a champion? Prepare to have
a cash amount hovering over your fate. We'll also record the
high points of set bounties for all to know and understand.
Should make for an interesting dynamic to the Blood Bowl concept
(thanks to the admins for putting that in there).

I have also constructed the Dual Towers with connecting wall,
which will allow for players to take refuge and defend against a
horde if one strikes. It also provides for a good observation
platform if a person just wants to watch the matches go down.

A view from the other side (at the base of the tower wall),
showing the blood bowl arena.

I tried to get a bowl effect but red stairs just don't do it,
and slopes make it look more like "Blood Bowl Off-Road Obstacle
Course". But "Blood Platform" just doesn't have the same ring
to it... ;)
As for the events, I do not perceive that level matches will be
required. Since we will be using max equipment it will be more
about the skills a person invests in. Thus it would be useful
to rank up the knife skill or blunt skill, but not required,
particularly for the team events. In the open events players
will be encouraged to take down the champions who have lots of
z-cred bounties on their head (and thus the ones who might have
good knife or club skills). In team fights things will blend
together, since groups can attack the leaders before going at
each other. Then the drunken brawl is just fists so no ranks or
bonuses apply. If issues arise the match rules will be modified
between events.
No armor or military fiber items allowed so a player who has max
armor doesn't destroy everyone else. It will also make the
matches go quicker. However, you can find good basic cloth
items that might provide protection at the same time they
provide identification. Form your own clan identity. No
bandages allowed either. Once a match is done, people can heal
up, but while the match is going, no bandages can be used. The
one other thing a person can do is work on their health. Having
a higher health will help, and for those who have it, more power
to 'em. One death will generally bring them back down.
We had a match of this sort some time back in the insane asylum
mod on the old Navezgane map. At that time my computer was not
capable of handling more than a few players in one spot. Madman
probably remembers that.
This is a controlled PVP event, meant to foster positive PVP
death and mayhem for the Ground Zero server. Not looking to get
the whole server involved, just for those who want to step into
the ring and beat someone to death with their fists :o, um, I
mean, have a good social, eh, event and stuff...
So to start it off - Blood Bowl Roster as of 05/30/16;
- Team Zorg (CMonster) [Primary color choice = Green]
