Detailed Play Instructions for IBT#3

Quick Play Instructions · 

• Enrol – post a reply with your character name, picture and class: Warrior, Mage(Wizard) or Thief  
• Play – as each battle post (Stages) 1 through to 6 is posted, read the rules on each post and make your attack  for a chance to win. There will be a tournament map to travel and players will be progressing to get to the end boss. 
• Collect items – during the game I might advise you that your character has received an item. These may have an effect on dice bot based play and/or may have other uses. · 
• Revive (optional) – you start with 3 life points. You must have at least 1 life point to continue to play and battle. Should you use all 3 life points and wish to continue playing, simply reply in any battle post that your have sent in a  trophy token to @lordnigel and I will confirm receipt and return you a life point.   

Advanced Play options:   

Possible Side Quests:   During the battle posts (Stages) and the Boss post you may also decide to play optional side quests..... just for funz or because it may assist your chances of success for the overall tournament.:   

Player vs. Player  

• Challenge – If you notice another player picks up an item along the way, and you want that item, you may challenge that player to the item. To do this you simply put a reply in any post " I challengem ”, then type the command @rollthedice to call a dice bot and display your roll.Warning: if you don't specify the item and challenge the other player and the accept and you win, they may determine which item to give you, if they only have one, that's what you get.
  • Accept Challenge – A player does not need to accept this above challenge and can simply ignore the request. However, they will be considered having accepted the challenge if they reply to the challenge, by calling the dice bot @rollthedice and thus rolling a defense roll.  If the challenger wins with the highest dice roll wins, they get the item.  Note: if you challenge for an item and fail, the defender may choose one of your items (if you have one) instead - and you lose a life! Challenge with care. All Item effects are in place at all times, even during these challenges - so be careful :). I will assess who wins in these challenges and apply passive effects to the dice results (currently manually done).

The Great Gobbo Ninja Git!   

• Challenge – A player may be randomly challenged by the Gobbo-bot!, he will appear as a reply (summoned by me) and roll a die. Technically people can call Gobbo themselves or on other people, but I'd prefer if it was left to me, so please restrain for this experimental Tournament and leave it up to me. i.e. *No Summoning @Gobbo please! - it may get confusing for poeple*
• Accept Challenge -  Should you accept Gobbo’s challenge and call the dice bot @rollthedice, and achieve a higher roll, Gobbo will drop an item and run away (after a polite comment, and quick knife jab of course). For this tournament this will be manually done by me. Passive item effects apply.
• Should you lose against Gobbo, you will lose a life (remember you only have three). Still that item could be the difference between being the ultimate champion or not. 

In battle pick pocket – If you are a thief class you may not have some extra battle benefits like the other classes; however, if you reply during the battle !pickpoket, you will steal an item from the enemy. Be warned, the item may have a positive or negative ongoing benefit. Also only once per battle, if you do more I will need to manually negate and comment your item is gone.

*!pickpocket bot works fantastic If you a thief go for it.

Tournament Shop post   

The ITEM SHOP (post) will open soon. For this tournament it's likely there will be very few items in stock for players to purchase, but check back often. When/if items are available they can be purchased using the in game currency – trophy tokens.  

This is not a pay to win game. The items will only offer a small bonus over other players. It is possible to win trophy tokens through out the competition, from other competitions or they can be purchased directly from @trophy-token, for a minimal Steem shipping fee – this is between you and trophy-token :)

I invite you to post questions about the tournament here anytime, I will check back often and try to respond. 

IBT#3 is still experimental so some elements may not work and need tweaking. If this upsets you, I suggest not to participate as I will be needing to make some decisions at times to ensure the smooth running of the tournament and this may not be acceptable to all players.
