Round 2 news: It been delayed, I'm off on holiday tonight so it will begin in earnest in just over a week when I get back.

Therefore, stealing Name_Violations idea wholesale from a page or so back, I'm going to leave you playing a game of Murderball, under the watchful eyes of my lovely assistants Sustain and erm... Eeep.

Rules are simple:
Name_Violation has the ball from the moment Sustain/EP say 'go'. You then have to kill him before he can win 5 fights with it and scores a point, if you kill do him, then you have to win 5 fights with it. Game continues until someone scores, then starts over.

Simple eh?

Well, not that simple unfortunately...
Rules in more detail:
Factions pair up into 2 teams, Preds+Cons and Max+Bots.
1 player is nominated to have the 'ball'.
Everyone enters the arena like normal.
The player with the 'ball' must win 5 matches in a row (as seen on the bottom of their character page*). If they do this, they score a 'goal' for their factions, the ball is then given to the opponent last defeated and the game starts over.
If the person with the ball loses, they have been tackled and the ball is given over to the victor who starts the count over again from 0.
Battles between Preds and Cons, or Max and Bots, count as a 'pass' so their team keeps possession but the player still starts over from zero.
Turnovers: if someone has the ball and does not join an battle in 250 arena matches (as per the numbered battle links in the character's profile - referee's decision) then they are regarded to have 'fumbled' and the ball goes to the person who fought them last, until it ends up with an active player.
Usual SPL rules apply, no levelling up or down etc, resetting is fine.

* = It may be an idea to briefly stop playing until a goal can be verified by Sustain, Eeep or Burn.

Sustain and Evolution Prime will be the referees for this game so please respect their decision at all times or I will set Burn on you.

You've got a few hours to give me some feedback on this before I put it in the tourney forum and kick it off... have I missed anything?

Here is what I would like to see:

Player with the ball: Post your victories here. Once you have five in a row, announce that you have a goal. Play should stop for a referee verification on your players profile page. Once verified, play will resume with the ball being given to the last player you defeated.

Player stealing/receiving the ball: Announce that you have stolen/received the ball. You victory count will start there. You will then follow the guidelines as above.

Please keep the same format as Round 1: [Battle],[Winning Player],[Losing Player]

Referees will post the scores at the time of verification.

Wait for it...

Quick question, if a con with the ball beats five preds in a row, is that an own goal?

Good question. I will go with a no they don't since they are technically on the same team. I would call that dribbling. I'll let Pysch officially answer that, unless he is off on holiday, then Sustain and/or Burn can help decide. But that would be my ruling.

i got the ball!!!

youve not got rid of me just yet :0P

Ohhhh... good question! :lol:

Id agree with EP and say no as they are on the same team, however they are still wins so id be inclined to allow the first 4 wins of the required 5 to include your own side (Preds in this case, maximals for the bots etc.) but the 5th and goal scoring win has to be from the opposing team.

Possibly adds a bit of tactical play as well...
Thoughts?

Sounds good as as long as all the posted links are in order it should work well.

NO.

so 5 victories to a point, the last of which must be on opposing faction (maxis in my case). Am i reading the rules right?

Posted: **Wed Jun 10, 2009 4:39 pm**

Maximal or Autobots. And yes you have two wins as of right now.

Posted: **Wed Jun 10, 2009 4:41 pm**

maybe i should install armor :?:

titanium spork hasnt had armor since round 1 ended.

Posted: **Wed Jun 10, 2009 6:20 pm**

So is this the new scorecard?

Losses:
58865, Winner: Redimus, Loser: Archanubis , 0pts

Posted: **Wed Jun 10, 2009 6:32 pm**

No. Its something different. As far as I know, Name Violation has the ball with two wins to his credit. Only he should be keeping track as of right now unless he is beated. Please see the first post for the rules of this game.

Good ol GS has the ball now

Posted: **Wed Jun 10, 2009 8:55 pm**

The Cons and Preds still have the ball, but now have 4 wins to go for a score? Can the :CON:

and

score or can the :BOT:

and

steal the ball away?

Actually the win count would be back down to 0 wouldn't? Since GS now has the ball. I believe Psychout said that even if the ball carrier was to change on the same team(To go from a Pred to a Con, or vice versa) the wins go back to 0. So, GS would still need 5 wins correct?

Posted: **Wed Jun 10, 2009 10:46 pm**

The way it was explained to me was that if you beat the guy with the ball, that counts as one of your wins.

No worries enjoy.

To give an update, since it doesn't seem like Galvatron Supreme knows we are playing a game here, the Cons and Preds are one win away from scoring the first goal of the game. If Galvatron Supreme wins his next bout with a Bot or Maxi, then they will move up 1-0.

Checked GS's arena bouts:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... a_id=59386 - 1-0

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... a_id=59436
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... a_id=59664

If it isn't reset, he still has the ball.
