Pokemon: Colosseum - Congratulations Pikachu!

We're looking for 20 determined competitors to fight it out through 36 challenges in a battle to be the last player standing. Think you have what it takes? Sign up using the form below.


Game Application

Prospective spectators should fill out the form as well, and you will not be asked any questions about your strategy in the game



GENERAL RULES



1.
This is a game. The main objective is to have fun; so no excessive flaming, spamming, or submission of anything else prohibited within the MS forums.
2.
This is a game. The secondary objective is to win. Regardless of how amusing you think it may be, do not join merely to troll the other players.
3.
I am not infallible, so if I make a mistake, please point it out and I will correct it if needed.
4.
I have worked extensively to produce a game that is enjoyed by all involved. As such, I promise to offer each player respect but expect to be shown the same in return.
5.
Do not modify avatars. I have spent time and care to create these avatars, and I would rather not spend time making unnecessary revisions.
6.
Exercise common sense. If you are unsure as to whether an action conflicts with the rules, ask. Yes, this is a competition, but do not attempt to undermine challenges or game mechanics for your own gain. This violates both the spirit of the game and common respect mentioned above.
7.
Do NOT communicate privately with players not on your current team.
8.
I reserve all rights to implement new rules if needed.


GAME MECHANICS



The Colosseum: Pokémon Battle will use an entirely new format. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact a mod.


9.
This game is completely
anonymous
, so that means that at no point you are allowed to give away your identity, or give any hints towards it. Communication outside private messages is forbidden. Failure to follow these rules will result in severe punishment.


The Arena



10.
Every round will begin with a challenge in The Arena. The challenge will either be team-based, in pairs, or individual. Any teams or pairs will be selected randomly beforehand.
11.
In rounds where the challenge is team-based, private communication is limited to only those within your team. This is the case until the next round begins.
12.
At the start of every challenge, the number of players entering Deliberation will be revealed, along with the number of players safe from entering the Colosseum. Throughout most of the game, the players performing in the top half of those competing will be safe from the Colosseum, while the winning team or pair of a challenge are usually the only players entering Deliberation.
13.
All Arena challenges will distribute a total of
800 points
between all players based on performance. The effect and function of these points will not be revealed until the endgame.


Deliberations



14.
Deliberations are how the first player is selected for the Colosseum. All players determined by the challenge to take part in Deliberation will cast one vote in their confessionals for who they wish to enter the Colosseum, and may discuss the vote with each other freely.
15.
Every Deliberation will have a deadline of 24 hours. If you do not submit a vote before deadline, you will receive a strike. Once a player receives three strikes, he is automatically eliminated from the game.
16.
If you know in advance you will be unable to log in during the 24 hour Deliberation, you may leave a pre-vote (or list).
17.
In case of a tie, the player entering the Colosseum through Deliberation will be randomly selected from those involved in the tie.
18.
You can change your vote as much as you want, but only your final vote before the deadline will count.
19.
If you know in advance you will be gone for a couple of days without access, you can leave a pre-vote. We will not allow you to give your voting ability to someone else for one round or to mirror someone's vote.


The Colosseum



20.
Every round will conclude with a Colosseum challenge. This is a duel between two players, where the losing player will always be permanently eliminated from the game.
21.
The first player entering the Colosseum during a round is decided through Deliberation. All players not safe from the Colosseum are eligible to be voted in through Deliberation. In team-based rounds where private communication is limited, all players eligible to be voted in will have a chance to publicly plead their case to those taking part in Deliberation.
22.
The second player entering the Colosseum is determined by
random draw
. After the player selected through Deliberation is determined, one of the other players not safe from the Colosseum will be randomly selected by the roll of a die to enter the Colosseum. This means that winning the Arena challenge is of utmost importance, as there is no way to ensure your safety through social means if you lose.
23.
Every Colosseum will have a 24-hour deadline. Duelists need to have
completed
the challenge by deadline.
24.
Failure to complete the challenge in time will result in immediate elimination. If both players fail to complete the challenge, they will both be eliminated.
25.
All Colosseum challenges will give
200 points
to the player who wins the challenge. The effect and function of these points will not be revealed until the endgame.

While this is a large game similar to Survivor, the social elements of it are much less important, making this not as much of a time commitment.

In conclusion, this is easily the game I've been most proud of, despite all the sad times in which someone was eliminated because they couldn't participate in a challenge. But thank you so much to all the players, and especially to my fellow mods. Almost every challenge in the game went over spectacularly, and many new ideas we went with turned out to be great choices. I will certainly be running more games like this in the future, since they're way less stressful than survivors for everyone involved. Even though this is coming way later than the finale actually started, I hope everyone who stuck around all the way had a great time. To everyone who didn't stick around, fuck you! (Kidding, of course.)

Good game everyone! I loved my unsocial duo with Ceph <333 (which is completely backwards from how literally everything usually turns out what) and with almost everyone that was active, I was able to have at least a few silly moments with them. This was really fun, you should totally run more games like this CC!

Because the mods don't use the right passwords <_<

I know you let me redo once I actually told oyu that had happened, so it's not your problem at all, I just like bringing things up for no reason :)

They set up their own youtube tag explicitly to prevent that, I suspect. :P

Hahahaha I still love you Cheery Dog <3

Also, some great quotes from early on:

[6/9/2015 11:50:47 AM] TheBadOneMS: I'm glad we don't have like a pikachu vs smeargle round 1 duel
[6/9/2015 11:51:04 AM] CuddlyCaucasian: i hope both of them stay around as long as possible

[6/9/2015 6:37:34 AM] Drench: eyyy so next random draw can yall rig it so pikachu gets blown the fuck out ty appreciate it xo
[6/9/2015 8:54:40 AM] Fenrir: Pika pi! Chu?




I'm still loving the fact that someone could win this game primarily only talking in Pika speak.

I'm gonna link to Friendship Zubat's YouTube Channel after I do some worky things. I kinda stopped them a few rounds in, but they sure were fun to do.

'Twas a fun game.
