FANCY A GAME OF MOURNBALL?

Written by: Codespeaker Xuthori
Date: Sunday, July 18th, 2021
Addressed to:


Hail all,

Do you like punting your enemies around?
How about pulling them into a deadly trap?
Ever dreamed of commanding teams in a coordinated manner?
Have you ever wanted to be lifted up high after scoring a game winner?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO ALL THIS AND WIN CREDITS??

IF YOU ANSWERED YES TO ANY OF THE ABOVE, THEN SIGN UP FOR THE NEXT BIG KOMBAT EVENT- MOURNBALL!!!

The Mournal Kombat clan is proud to introduce the next big bloodsport this side of the sector: Mournball!

= What da flakk is dis? =
Mournball is a team based sport where two teams aim to move an object from one central location to their home base. Each time the object is moved to a home base, that team scores a point and the location is reset. The goal is simple - score the most amount of points by the end of the match to win! Of course, no Mournal Kombat event is complete without some blood and gore - so both teams can attack and hinder each other as much as they want!

Whenever a goal or touchdown happens, the goal and current score will be announced and the Object may not be targeted or put into combat while it is being reset. Combat between participants may still continue through this reset period.

= When? =
// Target is on Saturday/Sunday, 2 hours BEFORE sync for now. That is:

= Object? Those don't drop on death? =
This is where the fun comes in. The Object to be moved is a person! That's right, both teams will be trying their hardest to move a person to their home base!
The object will not have any special movement modifiers to start with, aside from any artifacts they have naturally.

= What is this 'starting location'? =
The rules are still being worked on, but to make things simple for our first few matches, the Object will always start in the middle of the arena!

= Arena? =
Not the actual Arenas at Omni, Agog, or Almasi, silly. There will be a brand new Stadium Ship that will be used to host these games! The map and layout of the Stadium will be released to all participants before the match starts.

//Ship Map Summary : https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/524681911755603988/866302158571307008/MournalKombatShip.PNG
//Files for roomnames/set up/roomnumbers in PowerPoint and Excel format on the starmournpk channel on discord!

= Sounds great how do I sign up? =
Just show up or send Xuthori a message of your intent to join!


Thank you all, and I hope you'll all join!

//OOC section
= FAQ =
Q) How many people to a team?
A) As many as those who sign up! All teams will have an equal number of members as the other.

Q) How many credits?
A) I'll start at 2 to each member of the winning team, maybe? With a vote for the MVP or something for more credit payouts.

Q) Artifact powers and Cosmpiercer powers?
A) Imma allow these for now.

Q) Will the object die?
A) Possibly? I'll be the 'ball' for the first match to see how it goes, but I'll be healing myself with everything I have at my disposal. If I DO die, the ball is considered reset and will re-enter at the starting location. (I may consider adding penalties to the killing party like a time out or something but I'll figure this out later)

Q) Bushraki Legs?
A) Yep, I have 'em. And I think RNG is cool for these kinda events, so if you try to move me and I resist - TOO BAD!

Q) Time per game?
A) I'm not sure but I guess 5 mins per round should be enough? I'll do some play testing on the first round.

Q) Judges/Refs?
A) Just me/whoever the Object is. - I will call for a position reset whenever a point is scored.

Q) My lawless points Q_Q
A) Don't worry, I'll put arena on a custom ship.

Q) Banned stuff?
A) No bug exploits (like current bot-Charge for insta-kill) and no nano-commanding me to destroy exits and stuff like that (if at all possible)
