Three-Way Battle Rules

From Multiverse Crisis MUSH
Jump to: navigation, search

On Multiverse Crisis MUSH, battles tend to be best resolved either as 1 vs. 1, or as multiple vs. 1; the combat code simply doesn't have many tools to entertain easy to figure out fair fights across multiple opponents such as in a free for all.

The following rules are experimental, and not endorsed by staff. They were conceived by Homura Akemi's player, and tested with Serori's player. They were used to run the finals of the WMAT's 2014 B Bracket, which roughly came down to the last hit.

  • 1. Determine pose order! Someone in the audience picks a number between 1 and 100, all three participants make a different guess. Closest goes first, second closest goes second, third goes third. This turn order must be respected every single round. If nobody impartial is present to pick a number, you can simply @emit rand(100) after everyone guesses.
  • 2. All three participants +pull 165 and +reset. Please note that 165 HP is just a suggestion; it provides a fight that will last between 3 to 5 hours depending on your RNG luck. If you want a longer or shorter fight, adjust the HP total!
  • 3. All three participants attack the other two every round, with identical attack levels. The THIRD PERSON is the one who escalates attack levels from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 5.
  • 4. The ideal attack level spread should be 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 3, however if time is an issue the lower level attacks can be upscaled a little bit. This DOES mean that the THIRD PERSON will actually be going 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 3, 3 and so on. Obviously you can alter this spread however you see fit; it SHOULD remain fair as long as everyone's throwing the same attacks around.
  • 5. Try to change the order in which you attack people every round if you can, to maximize RNG. i.e. if during round 1 you attack opponent A, and then opponent B, swap it up to B and then A for round 2, and then back around for round 3.
  • 6. Try not to overuse combos, but they still don't require consent as normal.

While these rules are not perfect and still require a lot of testing (please @mail Homura with your findings or feedback), they do generally allow a fair fight between three people of equal PL, and it's very fun to watch and be part of. Naturally, a difference in PL will skew the fight in that person's favor, just like a regular fight.
