The Coliseum

[GcarOatmealRaisinCookies]

The Coliseum

Two players sign up to battle to the death.

Each turn the players chooses one of three weapons, either Shield, sword, or spear and PMs that choice to the GM.

Weapons choices:

Shield
Sword
Spear

Shield > Sword
Sword > Spear
Spear > Shield
Shield > no weapon
Sword > no weapon
Spear > no weapon

(it’s kind of like rock/ paper/ scissors, but with shields, swords, and spears.)

You may choose the same or a different weapon each turn. Draws equal no points given.

The player with the best draw at the end of the turn wins a point, the first player with 5 points wins the round. There are no ties. If the two players reach 5 points at the same time they must do a tie breaking match. Spectator votes are NOT counted during the tie breaking match.

Spectators are NON-PLAYERS that can vote to give a player an extra point. Anyone on the forums can vote to give a player a point, including the GM. Spectator point is given by majority.

Turns last whenever.

@Ninjas: the weapon choice is public because you could see the weapons the combatants used in the real coliseum.

And Anyone can be a spectator, you don't necessarily have to be battling.

@Ninjas: the weapon choice is public because you could see the weapons the combatants used in the real coliseum.

But what makes Rock, Paper, Scissors fun is that you DON'T know what your opponent is going to pick.

[LordZorc]

I pick shield again.

[Ninjasplaycardgames2]

But what makes Rock, Paper, Scissors fun is that you DON'T know what your opponent is going to pick.

My point exactly, if bakurachick pick's a weapon first then LordZorc would know what she used and can counter it just like whats happening now

[Ninjasplaycardgames2]

They could PM what weapon they choose and then you could announce it

[bakurachick]

My point exactly, if bakurachick pick's a weapon first then LordZorc would know what she used and can counter it just like whats happening now


thats why we have spectator points

[3xplosive ducky]

so then whoever goes second wins.....

[Ninjasplaycardgames2]

so then whoever goes second wins.....

[GcarOatmealRaisinCookies]

I'll change the weapon choice to PM after this round.
Spectators use your points and vote.

lolz this idea is interesting....
but i prefer heroes and villians TFG

[GcarOatmealRaisinCookies]

TBH, I created this game to be a light game monster for GM and players alike.
For those that have crazy schedules, and can't handle the long rounds of something like H&V. It's also easy on GMs, just post the weapon choice and award points accordingly.

Recoil a few more hours, until after I've had some sleep, then, I'll start sign ups again.
Only two active players allowed, the rest of the site are spectators and can award points to their favourite competitors.
