This is an update of the text from last year.
As a reminder, for each match you will decide how you fight. You can fight with
great honor (-2), honor (-1), neutral (0), dirty (+1), or very dirty (+2).
Fighting with honor will lower your combat skill by 1 point for that match.
Fighting very dirty will raise it by 2 but the crowd may not like it.
Note that I added a catagory "Fight same as opponent". I did this because last year, it was a popular thing for people to choose. If you choose it and your opponent fights dirty, you will fight dirty too. If you both choose this, it will be treated as if you both choose neutral.
You choices for each match will be accumulated if you continue win. The way you fight only effects your score for one match but the sum of your choices will be your accumulated honor for the tournament. The competitor who accumulates the most honor during the competition will get a special award.
So, before each match you choose your honor level for that match only. The only lasting effect is your honor is summed up for all matches.
When we are ready to determine the winner for each match, the judges add your honor level to your actual skill score (what is displayed on the bios is the skill rounded to a whole number) and then a d6 is added to each person.
So, Kahless has a skill of 6 and Molor has a skill of 5. Kahless fights with great honor (6 - 2 = 4) and Molor fights very dirty (5 + 2 = 7). A d6 is rolled and Kahless gets a 5 and Molor gets a 2.
Kahless: 6 - 2 (great honor) + 5 (d6) = 9
Molor: 5 + 2 (very dirty) + 2 (d6) = 9
So its a tie. If Molor had gotten a 3 on the d6 he would win, if Kahless got a 3, he would have lost.
That's the basic system. So what about ties. Ties actually can't happen (i.e. are very unlikely) because your skill on the bio is displayed as 6 or 5, but is actually calculated as 6.245172 and 5.4938586. In other words, we are only showing your skill rounded to the nearest integer, but actually, its a float and having two competitors with exactly the same skill is very unlikely. In this case, if it happens, we'd just roll and add a second or third die until someone wins.
So, this year you use the bio form to set your honor level and we will inform each pair of fighters who won their match. For the first PC combat round we will give you a little extra time but later, we expect the posts to be ready quicker.
The first PC match will be friday or saturday I think but before that, your freebie match against an NPC... so I hope people are getting those ready.
