Gladiators!
Following the insane success of Nuclear War and Mafia another game where you can kill your fellow posters - but this time its personal!
The Dead Simple Rules
Each player is a gladiator, forced to fight for our amusement in one-on-one combat. YAY!
Action Pool
Combat
Challenges
Example
Skanky challenges Spike to a fight.
Spike accepts.
ADG is the umpire.
Skanky sends PM "skill 3, dodge 4, power 3 =10"
Spike sends PM "skill 3, dodge 2, power 5 = 10"
ADG posts results "Skanky hits Spike with power 3. Spike misses Skanky.
The two gladiators send new PMs. This time Spike only has 7 points to distribute.
...
Eventually one player is defeated (could take 15 minutes if everyone's on the ball)
So, who's in? Any number of people can play, you can join at anytime, and you can even start a new gladiator if you are killed (if you must)
You gotta love these simple rules I dreamed up in the pub tonight
Split those points between attack, defense and damage. If your skill beats their dodge you hit for your power. Pure simple one-on-one killing strategy. Win the fight to get more points to split.

Following the insane success of Nuclear War and Mafia another game where you can kill your fellow posters - but this time its personal!
The Dead Simple Rules
Each player is a gladiator, forced to fight for our amusement in one-on-one combat. YAY!
Action Pool
- Each player starts with an action pool of 10.
- In a fight the player must choose how many of thier action points to allocate, and post this to the umpire.
- Winners will improve thier action pool.
- Losers will be dead.
Combat
- Each player PM's the umpire with how they will split their action pool.
- There are three categories - skill, dodge and power.
- The umpire compares the skill of each player with the dodge of the other player. If the skill is higher than the dodge, then a hit is scored. In the case of a draw see below under "challenges"
- When a player is hit, then their action pool is reduced by the power of the opponent, for the duration of that fight.
- When a player is reduced to 1 action pool point or less, they lose. Zero or less they are DEAD.
- It is possible that both gladiators kill each other
Challenges
- A player can challenge any other player to a fight. They MUST accept, or be branded a coward and permanatly lose one from thier action pool. The one who is challenged decides if a draw is a defender-win or an attacker-win. An umpire is then selected (can be anyone)
- Anyone can offer to be an umpire for a fight between two gladiators. They must accept the challenge, or be branded cowards etc etc... An umpire says before hand if a draw is a defender-win or an attacker-win.
- A player can only refuse a challenge without penalty if they are already in a fight.
- Any fighter not responding to a challenge in 48 hours is judged to have "wimped out" and loses one action pool point permanantly.
- Winning a fight brings the reward of gaining one APP permanatly, so it's a good idea to win as many as possible. Fast play is rewarded.
- Umpires should post results in this thread as the game progresses.
- After a fight any survivors are fully healed.
