Arena Manager Recruitment (Pregame)

user warning: Table './biermanb_drpl1/accesslog' is marked as crashed and should be repaired query: INSERT INTO accesslog (title, path, url, hostname, uid, sid, timer, timestamp) values('Missing File: MSVBM60.DLL missing', 'node/358', '', '38.107.179.241', 0, '18442992ba6a19d6e91f06f1ec142c15', 119, 1328809104) in /home/biermanb/public_html/modules/statistics/statistics.module on line 64.

This is just going to be a simple game to play until I finish all the fancy rules for the actual game. The emphasis on this will be simplicity.

The Managers:
[u]Starting Money[/u]- You start with 1000 gp, which you use to pay for anything and everything.
[u]Making Money[/u]- Each victory will earn you 50 gp, each loss will cost you 50 gp. There will be no betting.
[u]Schedueling[/u]- You can set up special scenerios with other managers, or simply use the arenas premade for you.

The Fighters:
[u]Contracts[/u]- You can buy a new contract for 100 gp. You may sell contracts to other players for whatever price you agree to.
[u]Equipment[/u]- Once a peice of equipment is given to a fighter, it cannot be moved to another fighter, but it can be sold for 75% of its value.
[u]Upkeep[/u]- You must pay 10 gp (+5 gp per level beyond the first) per week per fighter, or they will leave you.
[u]Creation[/u]-
-Races/Classes/Skills/Feats from 3.5e PHB only.
-Use point-buy (32 points)
-Equipment may be bought from the PHB and DMG only.
-Magic equipment (besides potions and scrolls) costs 2x their listed price

No other special rules will be used (no popularity, no betting, no pre-game buffs) I think thats everything.. if I missed something, I will edit it later.

Who is interested? Make a post with your fighter's character sheet(s). I will make a thread in the misc section to keep track of everything.

Publically post the characters we're going to kill other characters with??

Clarification: You start off with one contract already, thus you do not need to spend 100 gp on your first fighter.

Ammendment: I am changing the starting gold to 2000, so that things get started more quicklier...

Interest. Will post char later.

Make amendments in the main post, and keep a log of the amendments too whilst you're at it. (Considering this is a test, there will probably be a number of amendments) Such as:
--

03/05/04 -- Increased Starting Cash to 2000 GeePee.
03/05/04 -- Everyone Now Starts With One Free Contract
03/05/04 -- Changed Betting to Allow Bets Between Managers
09/21/06 -- Added the Spike Death Pit of Death And Spikes Arena for Those Damned Level 16 Arena Fighters
09/21/17 -- Added the Holographic Viewer, Now You Can Watch Battles Using Ctrl + P + E And Using The Tele-Helmet
11/11/21 -- Added Klondike Bats To The Holo-Arena. Bring Protective Gear, Safeties Are Off.

--
Also, to make things easier for us arena managers... put each manager in the main post with their fighters listed.
--

Name Of Phee's Manager (1617 GP)
--- Jayde Longleaf, Female Elf Fighter (1) ---

Name Of Trees's Manager (402910291029175071 PP)
--- McStab the Stabber, Male Half-Catapult Paladin (4) Rogue (9) Wizard (13) ---

--
Oh, and a recommendation: amend the 'betting' to say 'Betting between arena managers only' :P

kthx.

Game on?

I'm ready to kill someone (once we resolve those rolls we need to do Muddy)

Arena Manager Recruitment (Pregame)

Okay. I will be ready to begin sometime this week. Sometime later today (when my dad doesnt need online) I will start a thread in the scedueling section.

I do have one last request before we begin.. know everything your character can do. It is rather annoying when you have to stop the game to look something up. (Granted I will probably look stuff up from time to time.. but whatever, Im the DM, Im allowed to :P)

Udpate: Phee is now helping me out (she has a lot of damn good ideas!) and I am completely scrapping my initial idea for this game. We can still do this simple arena combat thinger, but the actual game will be approx 1.0433x10^22 times better :)

New Idea: The manager will actually be a character that you roleplay and stuff. There are several different things you can do, all based around the arena. You can hire circuis performers to perform at shows (for a price of course) start a gladiator team to fight in the arenas, or even buy an arena of your own (and manage every aspect of the arena. Thus the name "Arena Manager") It all depends on your tasted. You would start off with a lot more money, and would have a lot more options than just fighting.
