From Alex Goryachev To All 13 January 1999

Glad to contact you, All! Discussion is encouraged. :-) (before the game starts). ;-) Network game "STEEL LEGION". Introduction. The game is organized in a special way competition between amateurs "SOLDIER OF THE FUTURE". Like any other, this game takes place under certain conditions, has its own purpose and rules. The game "STEEL LEGION" is called network because it is organized in the electronic network "ZXNET" among its members (participation of members of other other networks are allowed and encouraged). Game participants create their robots in the "SOLDIER OF THE FUTURE" editor and send them by email to the address of the Intermediary, who does not participate in competitions himself, but ensures their holding, releasing robotic fighters onto the training ground of his computer, recording results of battles and announcing all current information. Game tours are held periodically, once a week, victory in them is only an intermediate goal, and the main goal is to oust them with their own robots of robots of other Participants and capture, thus, of the entire Steel Legion! The game conditions are such that in terms of firepower and equipment, everything robots can be the same. In these conditions, it is especially important has a fighter behavior program drawn up by the Participant. Rules of the game. 1. Terms. A participant in the game is a person whose robot(s) participate in battles.(How to become a member is written below) The game mediator is a person who does not expose his robots for fights, conducting fights, recording results, monitoring compliance by the Participants with the rules of the game, informing the full information about the last round of the game. Workpiece - a specially created robot with maximum starting parameters for the Participants to produce their fighters - Newcomers. The protection parameter is no more than 254 units. The blank can be obtained from the Intermediary through faehu. Robot - prepared in "SOLDIER OF THE FUTURE" from the Blank a fighter with a behavioral program. During the tour, the robot's status may change: Newbie -> Legionnaire -> Terminator. Steel Legion - elite fighting robots - group of robots, who have reached Legionnaire status. Polygon - a specially compiled map for each tour. 2. Game. The game consists of weekly rounds. Each round consists from: General battles -> Beginner battles -> Legionnaire battles. For each round, the Participant has the right to nominate one Newcomer regardless of the results of the previous round. General battles. Mixed battles of Newcomers and Legionnaires (L-L N-L N-N - possible combinations, one on one by lot). If the total number of participants is odd, then one of the Newcomers will fight with a clone of one of the Legionnaires (by lot). After battle, the clone is destroyed. The Novice who wins the battle enters the Novice battles for status Legionnaire.The winning Legionnaire thereby confirms his qualifications and then participates in the battles of the Legionnaires. The losing Legionnaire is sent to a showdown in the GAMES fae, where anyone can take it and study it. Newcomer fights. Battles of surviving Newcomers in groups of 4-3 robots (by lot). The winner of the group becomes a Legionnaire of the Steel Legion. Legionnaires' fights. Fights of Legionnaires in groups for the status of Terminator- ra (by lot). All Legionnaires remain in the Steel Legion. In each round, only one Legionnaire receives status Terminator. Terminator status gives the Participant, its owner, a certain advantage in the next round. The participant whose Legionnaire achieved Terminator status in the next round (exactly in the next!) exhibits, like all Newbies, plus so many Newcomers, how many times he has already achieved in the current game Terminator status! N- Beginner TOUR SCHEME. L- Legionnaire T-Terminator fights: T ----------- Legionnaires ┌─> L - L │ ----------- Newcomers │ N - N <─┐ │ ----------- │ General └───L N--N───┘ N N L─────> in fehu GAMES Thus, it is possible to displace naturally Legionnaires of other Participants and capture the entire Steel Legion! The participant who has captured the entire Steel Legion is announced winner! 3. How to become a member?You can start participating in the game from any round. Necessary send the Intermediary a letter (by letter) with an application in which agreement with the rules of the game and recognition of the Mediator is expressed. The intermediary sends the fighter's blank with a message to the person who wants it start date of the next round. Expulsion of blanks is useless does not oblige. Participants register only after receiving from them the first Newbie in the current game. To participate in subsequent rounds you only need to send on time Newbie (in one copy!). If the Participant does not send a Newcomer to the next round, his Legionnaires (if any) continue to participate in battles. In the first round of the game, all Newcomers immediately become Legionnaires! In each round the Participant performs as follows: Newbie (sent by the Participant himself) + (automatically) Novichok clones according to the number of Terminators (if in the previous round the Participant achieved Terminator status) + (automatically) all of your Legionnaires. 4. Actions of the intermediary. The mediator is obliged (due to the voluntariness of taking upon himself responsibilities): - monitor compliance with the rules of the game by Participants - conduct game rounds according to the rules - keep records of Participants and their robots - promptly and fully inform Participants about the results of battles via the electronic network The intermediary has the right: - remain a Mediator in the current game 5. Polygon.The training ground is prepared for each round by the Mediator. He has square shape. Robots participating in battles begin the battle while being in the corners of the square, the position is determined by drawing lots. After the end of the next round, the training ground at the request of the Participants rushes into the fae GAMES. For all questions and disputes, contact the Mediator. The first round is just around the corner! :-) Best regards, Alexey Goryachev (Linker/PROFSOUSE).
