🤖 Introducing wizardzap - ⚔️ A New Bot for the Interactive Battle Tournament on STEEM

Introducing @wizardzap

You might recognise him from previous IBT battle scenes. hehe

What is IBT and who is @wizardzap

If your new to Steemit - IBT  is a series of competitions currently run by @lordnigel. There is one just starting to run now, IBT#5. Here is a full link: https://steemit.com/contest/@lordnigel/interactive-battle-tournament-5-enrol-for-the-bestest-easy-way-to-win-steem

The  basic game play is.. you enrol, you wait a few days, you participate in Stage posts 1-6,  you win easy Steem,  finally you defeat a boss in an attempt to win big Steem prizes.  

It’s really easy to participate and the fun bot(s) involved work hard for  you – but there is some strategy involved. Most Stages/posts can be played in  under a minute. However if you wish to take your time and contribute to the story line as it goes along, there are other pleasing results (upvotes, gifts, applause etc).

The IBT bot (@Schopenhauer) from IBT#4 run  by  @cryptonik is currently running at the time of writing this, but sadly I’m unable to update it, so I've made a decision to run @wizardzap as primary until further notice. 

Unfortunately I haven't had the time to make @wizardzap available 24X7 yet, but once the Stage posts start I'll make sure it's available. However should @wizardzap go down, hopefully we will  have our trusty @Schopenhauer as a fall back - I'll detail a primary and backup set of command on playing IBT#5 a bit later in the detailed instructions post. IF things go well @Schopenhauer maybe updated to the latest code, so we will have two solid bots, running in different ways, from different accounts - so we shouldn't have game interruption :) haha I guess there is always Gobbowars..

This @wizardzap bot has been updated as per the  feedback and ideas of the IBT community and will likely be running as the  primary bot for IBT#5.  (depends on a few things - but it will be clear before Stage One is posted in a few days)

What else about @wizardzap

In IBT#5 items can be summoned but, it requires making a contribution to @wizardzap  of 0.01 Steem. It's completely optional to summon items, and the game is still possible to win without doing this. However, should you do this, as long as your playing in IBT battles and you have made a contribution to @wizardzap he will quietly autovote all your Steemit posts. If your not comfortable with that, please let me know and i can remove the auto upvote. Right now @wizardzap doesn't have much SP, but if IBT goes on for a few more iterations, he might build a little and those votes may come in handy and give back to the IBT community.

Each Stage post will also have a brief summary of bot commands at hand, so you can use the Bot easily. I will run the bot for a short duration after this post to do a reply below to list it's commands. 

I'll then shutdown the bot until Stage one :)

Thanks for reading and See you all at Enrolment!

 Special thanks to @spaceginger   for his artistic skills with the Interactive Battle Tournament  Image above, the wizard image is from the abandonware game Dragonwars - worth a play!. 100% of Steem raised from this post will go to powerup @wizardzap.
