Anyone Want To Play A Game? - Topic

I am still working on the rules. Will need 7 more players.

THE IDEA
Eight humans draft characters and teams from four classic N64-era games.
The games are run AI vs AI, and players score points based on how their drafted picks perform.

At the end, the player with the highest total score wins.

THE GAMES
WWF WrestleMania 2000
Mode: Exhibition → Single Match → Watch
Draft Pool:
Steve Austin · The Rock · Triple H · Mankind · Undertaker · Kane · Big Show · Chris Jericho

Super Smash Bros

Draft Pool:
Mario · Yoshi · Donkey Kong · Kirby · Link · Fox · Samus · Pikachu

NHL 99

Mode: Exhibition | All-Star Difficulty | ★★★★ Teams

Eastern Conference:
Flyers · Penguins · Capitals · Red Wings

Western Conference:
Avalanche · Canucks · Stars · Blues

Mario Kart 64

Mode: 2P → VS → 150cc
Draft Pool:
Mario · Luigi · Peach · Toad · Yoshi · Donkey Kong · Wario · Bowser

TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE
Games: 4
Matches: 16 total (4 per game)
Match Type: AI vs AI only
Scoring: Win = 1 point | Loss = 0 points

THE DRAFT

Each player drafts one pick from each game:
1 Wrestler
1 Smash character
1 NHL team
1 Mario Kart racer

Draft Rules
Draft order is randomized
Snake draft
Draft snakes across all games (not one game at a time)
No player may draft more than one pick from the same game

THE SEASON
Draft order determines initial seeding
Each game features 4 head-to-head matchups
Every game contributes equally to total score

WIN CONDITION
After all 16 matches are complete: Highest total points wins the tournament or playoffs TBD

It sounds like a cool idea. Hopefully it will get some kind of action going around here. I'd play but I won't be on jsp enough to do it. Good luck with the game

Right after I sent that post I realized maybe I misunderstood.

Is it all n46 characters against each other, or is it against each other within that game?

Same game but a win is 1 point regardless. You are essentially drafting a fantasy team of 1 of each char per game.

With some more crazy rules to come to keep it interesting. Still workshopping. I have to test each game first too.

Going to reduce the number of players to 4. drafting 2 choices per game, and legacy consequences.

TO DO:
Refine turn order
Rank choices outside of NHL in case players arent familur with the games.
Flavor rules and legacy consequences

This decision must be made prior to the start of the season and cannot be changed thereafter.
