Special thanks to @spaceginger for his artistic skills with the Interactive Battle Tournament Image above and to @doctorcrypto for item source and creation. Other images were captured from the abandonware game the bards tale. 100% of Steem raised from this post will go towards the grand prize for this IBT#4 event.
A Bards Tale!!
That is what got me hooked.
Me and my buddy Robert would play the heck outta bards tale. (That's a lot of floppy disk swaping.)
I am glad to help out and I am excited to see what IBT#4 has in store for us. I just hope the ICBM of Doom ends up in the shop.
EDIT: I'm trying to send ya a trophy token for something in the shop but it aint twerkin.
Yeah man I hear ya, A Bards Tale - what a great adventure game (for us old schoolers! we remember the days when 16 colours was high tech).
I'm glad to bring these images back to life, so we continue to benefit from these great works. The Bard Series is abandonware now, so highly recommend a download :)
Haha I tried to put a Intercontinental Ballistic Missile on the shelf but it wouldn't fit on the page.
Eh... nuclear missiles will be available in this IBT? Or does ICBM not stand for intercontinental ballistic missile in this case?
I was just foolin with the nukes. ;)
Haha :)
Oh whats it saying bud? use lord-nigel as account name? got enough BTS??
Raktan the Orc Archer purchases a Book Of Death using the Trophy Token awarded during Stage 4.
No worries :)
@doughtaker if your around & happen to spot this :)... whats your take on the book of the dead in terms of steem prize? Does the rule - must win in the first attempt! still count if book or dead played or not..For instance if someone plays book of dead, before they have first attack but then take 4 attempts before they win...is that still classed as a winner?
Cheers in advance for official field judge ruling :)
I say yes, you still must win on the 1st attempt. I thought you were pretty clear in saying "first attack" and/or "first attempt" in the rules. I thought that the exception was also made clear: if you got Gobbo and beat him on the first try, then that specific battle did not count as the first attack for that stage.
We also have to look at the intended purpose of the book, and our best reference is the last IBT. The book's function is to prevent the loss of lives during a stage once it is activated. So when there was 3 lives per player for the entire campaign last time, the best time to activate the book was at the start of a stage. Then the player could have as many attempts as necessary to beat the stage foe, without the penalty of losing lives for failure. To win a share of the stage's prize pool, the player activating the book still had to win on the first attack. The fact that a player now gets 3 lives per stage doesn't change the reward aspect.
In addition, it's also theoretically possible that a player could activate the book of death and still be unable to beat the stage foe. For example, let's say there's a stage where the enemy's base strength is 11, and your class modifier is -1. First you activate the book. Then you pickpocket and end up with a key, giving the enemy +2 for a total of 13. Victory is now out of reach unless you get a good item from Gobbo. You might even need multiple good items to stand a chance, especially if Gobbo first drops bad items. Should a player be rewarded for being able to spam Gobbo encounters (i.e. intentionally do regular attacks that either fail or summon Gobbo) until they get their optimal mix of inventory items because they were invincible? Heck no.
tl; dr ruling: To be eligible for a share of the stage prize pool you must win on the first attempt no matter what items are active.
Man your good! I agree.. No steem if you don't win on first attack
Hey I was thinking we do need an unofficial book of stuff for IBT. With your knowledge would you be cool with doing a post? would you be keen?...obviously it would expire after 7 days, but we could keep just building on it in the replies area...hehe like an unoffical journal and have a link to it... just a thought (might need some more thinking)
I'd be down for that, when I have the time... I'll try to get the first edition up tomorrow. In the future, I'm thinking that a new "book"/post gets published around stage 4 or 5 of each iteration of the IBT, if there's new stuff to be added/edited into the book. We have a little bit of material to start the IBT Book of Universal Records anyway -- actual records set by Chuck Norris (IBT #2, Choose/Make Your Path) and Slotherin Wizard (IBT #4, Stage 3), along with the quotation that you pointed out which I'll need to dig up again, and the IBT periodic table.
On another note, there's a comment that needs your attention back on the Detailed Instructions post -- you need to decide if for the final stage, we use a simple ruleset and no Gobbo, or a more complex ruleset that allows Gobbo to get involved.
Snap, yeah was just trying to reply to that item post..but just too tired to go on.
I like the idea of the IBT book, and yeah around stage 4 and 5, I could also ...introduce a link to it (bring into story in a post somewhere as we go along hehe, little bit of side read for people :)
Yell out if you manage to get the first edition up, I'll do a special in game announcement and have a link appear in Boss round as well :)
Working on it as I type this up. Hopefully I'll have it up in the next 20 minutes or so.

Angel Food steps into the cozy shop and asks to use the bathroom. After draining his bladder and providing much needed relief to his recent groin injury, he orders a cortado. Angel Food tips generously and browses around one more time just to confirm that there are no donuts. When satisfied, he turns with a smile and asks, "Dear, @lordnigel? How does one purchase a Book Of Death? Is it available on audio cassette tape? That would really help me practice."
I owe you a trophy, you need to see @trophy-token to open a free bitshares account. However, im currently having some technical difficulty, so lets just skip to the part where you now own a Book of death yay!! use it for which ever stage you like - goodluck out there!
Angel Food is estatic and with a smile shining from ear to ear, he says, "You are generous and efficient. I thank you very much and wish for you to have many happy days."
Hugging the Book Of Death to his chest like a school girl, Angel Food walks backwards bowing out of respect and nearly knocks over a rack of post cards placed near the exit. If a spider tucked away by the corner of the door were to speak, it would explain that the rack seem to be held in place and swiftly returned to its original position by an invisible hand.
When outside the shop, Angel Food ties a piece of hemp string around his finger and reminds himself to remember that the string on his finer is to remind him of the newly acquired Book Of Death.
Psyche Deloun buys a Book Of Death using the Trophy Token awarded during Stage 4. It took a while but that foes burning remains had to be smoked in peace.
