What do you think of creating a thread called
Survivor where the most popular character would be chosen but unlike in the current threads where we point at most liked characters
we eliminate the ones we like the least.
Rules of the game:
- We shoot only once during every round
- We shoot to the character that takes part in a current pool
- It's irrelavant that someone has already hit the person we wanted to shoot, we shoot her without scruples
-
The round wins character with least numbers of hits
- The round lasts 2/4/7, etc. days (to the discussion, I suggest 2), after that the master of the game starts next round
For example, let's say that in our version these characters would take part in tournament:
On the left side:
Clare vs. Ophelia
Rubel vs. Theresa
Irene vs. Miria
Galatea vs. Duff
On the right side:
Rafaela vs. Jean
Riful vs. Flora
Rigald vs Cynthia
Helen vs. Deneve
First round:
1st duel: Clare vs. Ophelia, Clare wins (i.e. Ophelia has received more head shots) and goes to the next round
2nd duel: Rafaela vs. Jean, Jean wins (Rafaela is stabbed more times)
3rd: Rubel vs. Teresa, Teresa wins
4th: Riful vs. Flora, Riful wins
5th: Irene vs. Miria, Irene wins
6th: Rigald vs Cynthia, Cynthia wins
7th: Galatea vs. Dauff, Galatea wins
8th: Helen vs. Deneve, Helen wins
Second round (quarterfinals):
9th duel: Clare vs. Teresa, Teresa wins
10th: Jean vs. Riful, Jean wins
11th: Irene vs. Galatea, Galatea wins
12th: Cynthia vs. Helen, Helen wins
Third round (semifinals):
13th duel: Teresa vs. Jean, Teresa wins
14th duel: Galatea vs. Helen, Galatea wins
Final round: Teresa vs. Galatea,
Teresa wins (I've written to this point so Teresa could triumph :P).
For aesthetic reasons there should be a board which would be updated after every duel. Something like the one below but not that lame.
The one who makes the best board and knows the rules of the game should become the master of the game and creator of the thread. That won't be me, so if there are no volunteers, there will be no survivor.
So it's like this, in the first round Ophelia's name appears 30 times, Clare's 3 times - Clare wins and the master of the game starts next round,
updates the board, i.e. Ophelia's portrait becomes monochromatic/crossed out (that's why
the master of the game should be the person who made the game and do necessary remaking). After that you can't shoot to Ophelia anymore. I hope it's clear.
Because of the rules in survivor even very interesting character can drop out early, especially if someone doesn't read the rules and puts the name of a character he wants to go to the next round :].
I suggest that in our version we would choose 32 characters so it would last longer (remember that if we want 1 vs 1 duels, than there can't be any number of characters but 2^x, which brings us to 16 or 32, but we can have 1 vs. 1 vs. 1 and then we can have 18 characters, or we can start at 1 vs. 1 vs 1 in the first round and 1 vs. 1 in the next). We can choose as well characters that appeared in anime and in the next edition if there would be interest, survivor would have more characters.
So we have to decide which characters we want and more importantly who faces who in the first round. Completely random might not be a good idea, Galatea vs. Teresa, Clare vs. Miria should be left for the later.
Please state your opinions, questions, etc.
The idea taken from
http://forum.azunime.net/viewtopic.p...t=1294&start=0. You can see there how this works in practice.
We could make survivor for most favorite character, hottest Claymore, best villain, etc. There are many possibilities. The chart/board is not absolutely necessary but it would certainly make this game better aesthetically. But the most crucial is that we do not vote on a character we want to win, we eliminate the character we do not want to win.
Often, people who don't read the rules make a mistake and eliminate a character they wanted to go further which makes things more interesting and adds unpredictable element to it.
Anyway, depending on the form this game would take this could require whole subforum. After initial preparations in this thread we would need a thread where we would nominate candidates we would like to see (it could be even this thread after changing the title) and then a thread for a survivor. But if there would be no chart/board and there would be groups similar to previous Claymore tournament subforum would be necessary.
I recommend visiting
Azunime forum to see some more examples (Archiwum = archive, where are old tournaments). You don't need to know Polish to know what's going on and to see different variants of this "game". Personally I like the variant with a chart/board the most:
