       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]

       I thought the first rule about blood bowl, was.. nobody talks
       about blood bowl?
