INTERACTIVE BATTLE TOURNAMENT#3 - GAME INSTRUCTIONS
Detailed Play Instructions for IBT#3
Quick Play Instructions ·
- Enrol – post a reply with your character name, picture and class: Warrior, Mage(Wizard) or Thief
- Play – as each battle post (Stages) 1 through to 6 is posted, read the rules on each post and make your attack for a chance to win. There will be a tournament map to travel and players will be progressing to get to the end boss.
- Collect items – during the game I might advise you that your character has received an item. These may have an effect on dice bot based play and/or may have other uses. ·
- Revive (optional) – you start with 3 life points. You must have at least 1 life point to continue to play and battle. Should you use all 3 life points and wish to continue playing, simply reply in any battle post that your have sent in a trophy token to @lordnigel and I will confirm receipt and return you a life point.
Advanced Play options:
Possible Side Quests: During the battle posts (Stages) and the Boss post you may also decide to play optional side quests..... just for funz or because it may assist your chances of success for the overall tournament.:
Player vs. Player
- Challenge – If you notice another player picks up an item along the way, and you want that item, you may challenge that player to the item. To do this you simply put a reply in any post " I challengem <Item name>”, then type the command @rollthedice to call a dice bot and display your roll.Warning: if you don't specify the item and challenge the other player and the accept and you win, they may determine which item to give you, if they only have one, that's what you get.
- Accept Challenge – A player does not need to accept this above challenge and can simply ignore the request. However, they will be considered having accepted the challenge if they reply to the challenge, by calling the dice bot @rollthedice and thus rolling a defense roll. If the challenger wins with the highest dice roll wins, they get the item. Note: if you challenge for an item and fail, the defender may choose one of your items (if you have one) instead - and you lose a life! Challenge with care. All Item effects are in place at all times, even during these challenges - so be careful :). I will assess who wins in these challenges and apply passive effects to the dice results (currently manually done).
The Great Gobbo Ninja Git!
- Challenge – A player may be randomly challenged by the Gobbo-bot!, he will appear as a reply (summoned by me) and roll a die. Technically people can call Gobbo themselves or on other people, but I'd prefer if it was left to me, so please restrain for this experimental Tournament and leave it up to me. i.e. *No Summoning @Gobbo please! - it may get confusing for poeple*
- Accept Challenge - Should you accept Gobbo’s challenge and call the dice bot @rollthedice, and achieve a higher roll, Gobbo will drop an item and run away (after a polite comment, and quick knife jab of course). For this tournament this will be manually done by me. Passive item effects apply.
- Should you lose against Gobbo, you will lose a life (remember you only have three). Still that item could be the difference between being the ultimate champion or not.
In battle pick pocket – If you are a thief class you may not have some extra battle benefits like the other classes; however, if you reply during the battle !pickpoket, you will steal an item from the enemy. Be warned, the item may have a positive or negative ongoing benefit. Also only once per battle, if you do more I will need to manually negate and comment your item is gone.
*!pickpocket bot works fantastic If you a thief go for it.
Tournament Shop post
The ITEM SHOP (post) will open soon. For this tournament it's likely there will be very few items in stock for players to purchase, but check back often. When/if items are available they can be purchased using the in game currency – trophy tokens.
This is not a pay to win game. The items will only offer a small bonus over other players. It is possible to win trophy tokens through out the competition, from other competitions or they can be purchased directly from @trophy-token, for a minimal Steem shipping fee – this is between you and trophy-token :)
I invite you to post questions about the tournament here anytime, I will check back often and try to respond.
IBT#3 is still experimental so some elements may not work and need tweaking. If this upsets you, I suggest not to participate as I will be needing to make some decisions at times to ensure the smooth running of the tournament and this may not be acceptable to all players.

Dumb question incoming!
I forgot to follow you, but now I have. Had the game begun yet? Will you be taking us so that ginabot can let me know something is happening?
Hello, battle posts will be done once enrolment is completed(enrolment page payout occurs). Then I'll post the battle/stage posts like crazy, i.e. game really starts.
..So a few more days before game starts. I will post an optional to use/follow item shop and a campaign map post shortly...nothing to though until enrolments close. I will send a reply to you all with a link, to let you know game has started. This post is just for Q&A and testing bots...
What is a ginabot? how might this work..Cheers
@ginabot is a bot via dischord that tells you when you been mentioned in the blockchain (amongst other tricks!). So if you type my name @bengy and will send me a notification on dischord. Not sure how the game works, but it could be a way of prodding players to get their attention?
Ping, she's fast!
Ok will try to investigate for future IBT's...bit flat-out at moment. I will try to take into consideration, if people let me know they have this setup like yourself...but no gaurnetee's, players need to check back and play without prompts.
I will give if can..Cheers
Cool, no problem. I just assumed that everyone with a higher reputation than me is a Steemit God that knows everything here!
Hey dude!
@rollthedice and @gobbo are now 24/7....! Whooo!
Yo yo! Just to let you know that @rolld20 and @rolltwodice are up and running too.
They all need artwork and stuff... but they'll definitely do the job 24/7 from now...
Dude! is so super sweet...will be rockin in the tournament now!
You have done a fantastic job, thankyou so much on behalf of all the players - well give them a crack in a few days once enrolment closes.
@gobbo
testing bot, testing...Go attack! @gobbo
..must be sleeping until first battle post :)
@gobbo
Sorry, bandwidth issues... I've delegated to Gobbo so he should be all good now.
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 1.
You blow on two 6-sided dice, and throw:
First die lands...
You rolled a 4.
Second die lands...
You rolled a 6.
I love @gobbo
Gobbo sneaks in and steals all the dice.

He laughs like a jerk and throws a die.
The sneaky git rolls a 6.

So awesome mate - top jobs!
Oblivioner, Warrior.
I cannot accept enrolments here, this is a detailed instruction and testing post only - You are welcome to enrol, you must click here: IBT#3
count the one winged angel in..
oh its a warrior
Hey mate, would be great to have you along, but I can only accept enrolments from the enrolment post, you must click here: IBT#3
Is cross-stage PvP allowed (i.e. can challenges go down between players who are currently on different stages)? To make it clearer... I'm on stage 6; can I go back and challenge someone on their stage, with rolls being subject to the rules of their stage?
Its a tricky one, technically Gobbo can challenge you anywhere and you might get out off sync with Gobbo, but i'd allow a Gobbo item to come in at time you get it.
I think the best thing to do, is that as you leave a stage, there is no going back ever....however, I didn't specify this for this first dice bot style IBT. SO yes...For this IBT#3 going back and challenging players (whom are still alive and currently playing) in a previous Stage is valid. For future IBT I will likely suggest we don't allow this in the rules...or will get to confusing for non advanced players, still its up to the majority so It's a question to keep for the feedback page.So yeah go for it :) - correct Special field effect applies in stage challenge is conducted.
Thank you very much =)
It's a big gamble (imho) I'm about to take here to try to improve my position, even though I think I still have a path to the finals no matter how it all plays out. If it succeeds though, it's gonna make my stage 2 move look like the work of a simpleton.
I have enrolled
nice game i played it !
