Forum Brawl #2 - Rules

[Chapuz]

About the name of the teams: As Brawl now will be highly related to Guilds, we decided to keep the name of the elements they represent.

@blarp: you should post your application ASAP if you want to participate, so we know how many teams we will run. Organizing a complete team sandbag (resulting on a "good" extremely cheap team) is absolutely not fair for the rest of the teams, whose players have been bought in a longer-time bid, so that team won't be allowed to play.

@bosses: The amount of starting points and points won per round haven't been set randomly, we suggest you make some maths before starting bidding.

Quotes from a couple of people here

Exactly. War bidding is supposed to be strategic. Sandbagging your application seems like a strategy... Not fair? Well true, but if your goal is to win war, doing the whole lining up in rows and shooting each other thing just isn't as effective.

I'm not saying anyone should do it, just seems like a workable strategy.

@Chapuz
Application already submitted.

The point is not whether the action is a strategy but more whether it would directly affect the basis of the auction or whatever system you are placing this strategic action upon. (Working strategy =/= moral strategy. (Or permissible.))

Sandbagging your team can be considered a strategy?

Possibly.

It can also be considered dishonesty and cheating of the auction system, if you wanna look at it from all points.

As with any forum game, I'd assume that the goal is not to win, but to have fun. Then again, that point would difer from each point. If your goal is to win, then you might as well win it fairly then. Wouldn't you agree?

[blarp]

It all depends how how badly you want to win I guess.

Teams will be allowed to choose team names. Names should preferably be chosen before the end of Round 1. Bosses may PM their team names to the Brawlmasters.

As for guildpoints, every time a player succeeds at an task, everyone on that player's team receives 1 GP. When rosters are set, players will take their GP to their respective guilds.

Spoiler for example:

Player A of team X is the writer. He wins the writer task of round 1, so every member of team X has a GP. When the guild roasters are set, the guild of player B (artist of the team of player A) starts with the GP player B gained thanks to player A

In case of a Challenge:
1) Can I challenge only other Forum Experts or do I have the right to challenge eg. an artist in an artist duel?
2) Can I challenge more than a single FE in a single round or is there no limit to the amount of challenged FEs by me on every single round?
3) Do I post the type of challenge or is it completely up to the Brawlmasters to determine the type/rules of the challenge?
Thanks for your time.

You can challenge only 1 player from your role in the whole Brawl, besides making 2 Wagers.
The challenge rules are up to the challenger, Brawlmasters only say if the rules are acceptable.

Although, I personally recommend making them after Round #3-4, when there is a leading team you need to take down.

Wagers
Wagers are declared by PMing the Brawlmasters and the target of the wager with the title [Wager] [Wagering Team] within the first three days of a new round. The wagered player must answer to the wagerer and the Brawlmasters if he accepts or not, BEFORE the next round's tasks are revealed. If there is no response by that time, it is considered as a declined wager.

So a wager is based on the next round, on a task yet unseen?

That's the idea

Okay.  "within first three days of a new round" made me think the wager was on the task of the new (current) round.  Then I read "BEFORE the next..." and got confused.  This rule would benefit from a rewording for clarification.

for Wagers, only the votes are counted right? Not the extra ponts from the Panel, right?
