Hurt and Heal!

[Gatorman]

This is a game which I found on the late and lamented StH Roleplays forum which I hope you will find a lot of fun. Hundreds of characters meet in the arena, and only one of them will come out alive!

Rules.

On a turn, you must do one of the following things in each group:

1) heal a character by adding two hit points to their count;
2) hurt a character by subtracting two hit points from their count;
3) adding one hit point to one character's count while subtracting one hit point from another.

If neither of these options are exercised, the post will not count.

When a character's hit points reach zero, the character is out of the game and is removed from play.

You may vote once every two posts; if it is sooner than that, the post will not be counted.

When posting, you must post the updated points list with your vote.

End of game.

A round continues until one character reaches a prescribed number of hit points or until a certain number of characters have been declared out. Only a certain number of characters may advance in each group.

Now to the fun and excitement. There will be hundreds of characters who will compete in a series of preliminary heats before making it to the grand final. In just a few moments I will further explain how this will be conducted.

This contest will feature a total of 226 characters, divided into three paths: the Freedom Fighters Path, the Villains Path and the Friends and Family Path.

In the Freedom Fighters Path, the 90 characters are divided up into ten pots of nine characters each based on organizations, although several characters are relocated to different pots to make them even:

Knothole FFs	Chaotix	Mercia/Secret FFs	Fighters/Freedom	Arctic/Downunda
Sonic the Hedgehog Sally Acorn Miles "Tails" Prower Amy Rose Antoine D'Coolette Bunnie Rabbot Rotor Walrus NICOLE Dulcy the Dragon	Knuckles the Echidna Vector the Crocodile Julie-Su the Echidna Espio the Chameleon Mighty the Armadillo Ray the Flying Squirrel Charmy Bee Saffron Bee Bivalve the Clam	Rob O'the Hedge Mari-An the Echidna Bow Sparrow Thorn the Lop Alan Quail Friar Buck Munch the Rat Harvey Who Shard the Metal Sonic	Cream the Rabbit Cheese the Chao Big the Cat Froggy Heavy Bomb T-Pup Aerial Athena	Guntiver the Arctic Wolf Erma Ermine Augustus the Polar Bear Sealia the Seal Flip Penguin Barby Koala Walt Wallabee Duck “Bill” Platypus Guru Emu
Acorn/G.U.N.	40 Fathom/S.B.C.	Substitutes/R.S.S.	Wolf Pack	Future FFs
Elias Acorn Megan Acorn Alicia Acorn Maximillian Acorn Shadow the Hedgehog Rouge the Bat E-123 Omega Hope Kintobor Cmdr. Abraham Tower	Fluke the Blue Whale Ray the Manta Bottlenose the Dolphin P.B. Jellyfish Jack Rabbit Avery the Bear Tex the Lizard Jolt the Roadrunner Shift E. Wolf	Larry Lynx Penelope Platypus Hamlin Pig Dylan Porcupine Arlo Armadillo Geoffrey St. John Hershey St. John Valdez the Chameleon Wombat Stu	Lupe Wolf Lobo Wolf Leeta Wolf Lyco Wolf Canus Wolf Diablo Wolf Reynard Wolf Marcos Wolf Maria Wolf	Lara-Su the Echidna Argyle the Crocodile Skye Prower Melody Prower Belle D'Coolette Jacques D'Coolette Sonia Acorn Manik the Hedgehog Cyril Eagle

One character is drawn from each pot to comprise the nine groups in this path:

GROUP A	GROUP B	GROUP C	GROUP D	GROUP E	GROUP F	GROUP G	GROUP H	GROUP I
Bunnie Julie-Su Rob Aerial Barby Hope Ray Manta Larry Reynard Cyril	Sally Charmy Thorn Heavy Flip Elias Tex Arlo Marcos Lara-Su	Antoine Knuckles Shard T-Pup Guntiver Max P.B.

Tower Bottlenose Stu Leeta Jacques

We will play all nine groups from this heat, three at a time. Remember, you must heal or hurt players from each group.

Ark,

You have to post the entire points list when you hurt and heal, as I had done; also, you must hurt and/or heal in each of the three groups.

[Ark-E (ArksisEternal)]

I did. I modified the post to do just that.

[Gatorman]

What I mean is, you hurt and/or heal in each of the three groups. If you heal Barby once for instance, you also have to hurt one player from Group A once, too. Same goes with Groups B and C.

[Ark-E (ArksisEternal)]

Sorry about that confusion. I'll keep that in mind for next time. ^_^'
