This week I am adding random acts of violence to the tournament. I am viewing this as an announcer adding in a death twist much like in total recall, or other sci-fi tournaments you've seen.

**RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE**
During an "experienced" players match I will randomly have a wasp let loose a fury of missiles, or a baphomet zap one of the tournament players, or if lucky an argano will help heal one of the opponents. Of course who gets shot is randomly choosen, so it's up to the draw of the number. Who cares!? Bots will explode in one way or another.

*changed this to argano rep bots to help teams.

It is also optional for "newer" player teams, and they may decline this lovely addition. Note I'm just doing it this week for fun

Sounds stupid. Chance mechanics may be fun for spectators but not participants in a competitive setting.

Could also lead to calls of bias if one of these 'random acts of violence' tips a match one way or the other.

if it's not liked, i'll can it. no problems. Battles are dynamic though and often you have to react to changing situations quickly.

I would like to have arganos though helping out the 2v2s, ie an argano that works with each team seperately.

IMO instead of randomly picking a combatant, you should have ALL of the combatants randomly get fired upon by a missile barrage, or w/e.

Instead of adding random damage, have x containers with a 'token item' around the arena. Each match you give out a 'code' but don't tell them which container it is for. Players can either try to find and grab it during combat, and possibly have it destroyed, or just wait til its over. The token is then exchanged for a small bonus prize!

Yes battles are dynamic, so why do you need to add in a chance mechanic?

I'll just have some arganos ready for tommorrow should be fun!!

I'll involve them as teammates to work with the players for remote reps. Thus teams will be 3v3 essentially.

People can bring their own/or our own remote reppers will help during the fight ( ie you'll have a remote rep helping ). The remote rep arganos can be blown up.
