"Retro Uprising Duel Challenge Idea"

[Thunderlips]

I've had this idea kicking around in my head for a bit. Competition is what makes this site most thrilling for gamers. Here is a basic breakdown of what I am thinking...

- There will be an official "R.U. Duel Challenge Thread" In this thread one player can challenge challenge another player simply by calling out there name...

Example: "Hey Robot! I'm calling you out buddy!"

Robot has now has 48 hours from the time of the challenge post to accept it. Once Robot accepts the challenge the duels begins and lasts for 48 hours from the acceptance post.

- The Duel will last for 48 hours as stated. During the Duel the opponents will try to take as many trophies from eachother as possible. Players are not allowed to defend their trophies during this period, only take their opponents trophies. At the end of the round the dueller who takes more of the other's trophies is declared the winner.

-Scoring - If the challenger wins, he collects 2 Dueller points. If the person who was challenged wins they collect 3 points. If it is a tie the person challenged collects 1 point.

Rules which will be necessary...

1) If another gamer in RU takes a trophy from one of the duellers during the duel, the trophy is still counted as taken if the dueller beats the top score the opponent had at the commencement of the duel.

2) A player must have a minimum of 25 trophies in the arcade to challenge someone to a duel.

3) If a duel challenge is not answered, no points are awarded to either player.

4) When a challenge is made, a PM will be sent out notifying the player they have been challenged.

- Whats the point of the points? We can make it like the Assasins score badge, a travelling duel badge like a mini fencer or highlander character carried by the high point carrier. Or we could Run the Duel thread for 3 months and declare a winner at the end. It doesnt really matter.

Please use this thread to give feedback, make suggestions, find other rules that will need to be made to cover possible loopholes.

Cheers!
