Aiight, so the first team arena I did was eated by the realization that it was a lot of customization with little fun watching it.

So.

~*~*~*~*~*~
Team Arena 2
Grand Reopening
~*~*~*~*~*~
This time the focus is on more "Big Army" and Less "Hero", especially since there's no fast way to make bunches of heroes.

With that being said, here's the run-down:

//=======
// Format
//=======
The Customization Rules apply to everything first.
Each "Round" will have a specific set of sub-rules that apply to only that round. Read 'em sub rules!
That's about it, really.

//=================
// Customization Rules
//=================
Each Entrant (you, forumers) have 15 points to spend.
Each Entrant can access the following fields, each field costs 1 point.
Field #1: Team size. 1 point = 1 more person. (Gender default to male)
Field #2: Team Equipment. 1 point = 1 level. This applies to everyone on the team and changes according to the sub-rules.
Field #3: Team Training. 1 point = 1 level. This applies to everyone on the team and etc etc etc.

Ok?
Ok.

The default team size of all entrants changes depending on the sub-rules, with field #1 added on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Remember that the Goal of this Arena is to have tons of blood and total unfairness.
Structure your team to blood and victory!

//=======
// Scoring
//=======
Granted this includes chickens, but still.
Player Casualties: 9
Enemy Casualties: 320

Field 3 points:
Formation: [Front/Middle/Rear]

Copy Above this line.
Notes: If your point total is above 15, I'll just assume you have a team of 15 untrained peasants.

Whatever else I forget will be added later, now let's...do some paperwork!!

Let me know if something borks.

Sweet Armok!
 
PTW. I shall watch this avidly.

Round 2 Recruitment Open~ (Last time I'm modifying this message I swear)

Battlefield Setup:

Y'know the 3-wide causeway in the arena?

Approach:
Open Space
++X+X+X+...

++X+X+X+...
Open space

X being the positions.

Low ground is the Open space 1 Z-level lower.

Last Stand (Rear)

The two 3x3 empty spaces are open space with a 3-zlevel drop (or was it 4).

[Gentlefish]

All right, I want ten dwarves, if that's just five points, and I'll equip them with level two copper and crossbows. I'm assuming this is seven points. And the last eight points into skills. If possible, can I have shield level replaced with crossbow? So:

Team Name: PillageAngels
Field 1 Points: 5
Field 2 Points: 2
Field 3 points: 8
Formation: Rear. I'm assuming this is high ground.

[Rhyme]

Field 1: 0
Field 2: 7
Field 3: 8

Elves with axes. The Spiky Hippies.

Position: Front

PS: Try using Screencapturer or Fraps

[Orange Wizard]

InsanityIncarnate's team doesn't get to enter because they botched their entrance papers.

... I knew I had done something wrong.

'Snot my fault I couldn't understand your sheet thingy.

[Ashsaber]

Meh.  I thought I made it clear enough but apparently not.

You're still free to enter this round if you want to tho'. 

I'll start the round in a couple'o hours.

Alrighty!

Here's to hoping I can make topics more interesting and draw a bigger turnout!

Anyways...
