Since i had my staff position so rudely taken away i'd like for 1 of you to just make these edits into the original post by tai:
Double the standard OD reward to 100
Win streaks:
If a person wins an arena duel they have three days to earn another win to continue the streak. Rewards per win increase by 50% each win and caps at 500 od so basically:
1st win= 100 od
2nd win= 150 od
3rd win= 225 od
4th win= 338 od
5th win= 500 od
You cannot duel the same person twice in the same streak, which means every arena duel must be against someone new.
After a duelists 5th win they will receive an "ODA gladiator" userbar with the month of the streak included in it as a reward.
After the 10th win they will receive a crown infront of their name to symbolize how badass they are.
After the 15th win they will receive a free dorm test (orichalcos green given if score is above 95)
If you happen to beat someone and end their streak you will receive 50% the od that the streaker got on their last win in addition to what you would have normally recieved.
Beating a player with 3 streak wins would mean you would win 50% of 225 in addition to your 100 od so 213 od.
If you are both on your 3rd streak win then you would win 50% of 225 AND 338 since that would be your 4th win, so 451 od.
Cumulative od earned from beating a streaker and continuing your own streak caps at 650.
At the end of the month all win streaks will be reset.
At the end of the month, the user who had the longest win streak will receive either a glow of their choice (30 or a free dorm rank up (No test, No orichalcos green)
We'll also include a monthly leader board with w/l, win%, and streaks.
Adding win streaks would encourage more competitive and consistent challenging within the arena. The rewards may seem a bit high but thats what we need to encourage people to participate.
As for userbars, rose gka or even i could make them. The crown graphic i add to the front of the name will not cause any lag because it'll only really be 1/2 ppl at a time and it's minimal, way less lag then the glow which is definetly only for 1 person each month.
This also encourages people to recruit because i doubt we even have 15 members active enough for people to earn green with.
Any ideas, approval something?
This was the outline posted in the staff forum a long time ago and looking it over, it should be clear enough that one of the staff members is able to edit the original post to include these changes. Pm me for any questions or details you may or may not understand (over skype or oda)
Since recording wins and actually editing the values on leaderboard/profiles and other shit is too much for one person to handle me n c.c. kinda worked out a cycle system.
I've already setup the cycle system so you guys don't need to bicker over who does it when:
monday -
- Spoiler:
the special someone we said we'd promote to mod
Tuesday - hero
Wednesday - Sylv
Thursday - Ryuk
Friday - Sasu
Saturday - Vent
Sunday -Pride
No need to make an entirely new topic for new rules, leaving the old ones and just editing a few in seems more authentic. (Not sure if that's the word, but trust me it's better)
NOW INCASE SOME ANNOYING SHIT SAYS "But i like to tag duel, i know i'm like the only one and i shouldn't be asking such selfish questions but i'll ask it anyway because you obviously don't have anything better to do with your life then teach me how to use the new arena" Well i'm glad you asked Guest
Tag duels and single duels are counted on the same streak. Regarding the you can't duel someone more then once rule, think of it as YOU CAN'T INCLUDE THE SAME MATCH IN A STREAK.
Example:
Tc vs Pride Then Tc+L vs Pride+Kill is okay because The team of TC and L has never dueled the team of pride and kill. Even if TC has beaten both pride and kill and L has beaten Pride and kill the match is still legal because it's as a team.
As for rankings, lol no, you not getting a whole seperate leaderboard for this. We'll include a title for Tag Team Champions and those 2 will receive the titles/userbars for the month.
SHADOW DUELS AND SPECIAL CONDITION DUELS MUST BE APPROVED BY A STAFF MEMBER. I don't want someone to have a shadow duel like "Match w/o siding" and use dark worlds and just rape. Standard arena duel is Match w/ siding and if the format deviates from that then a staff member must approve and if possible observe the duel.
