Miniature Dominance
Battle of the Ages
The Basics
---
Think of Miniature Dominance a bit like Miniature Golf.
Except it's not. There's no golf, colorful obstacles, or stretches of grass. The only similarities they share is that they are both smaller than their higher-stakes counterparts.
Miniature Dominance is a forum game which, in a way, models the real dominance. Instead of sacrificing dragons, however, well... you post a message rallying for your team. Scores are tallied up on a semi-regular basis, and at the end of each week, a winner is donned.
The Rules
---
1. You must wait for at least 3 posts by persons other than yourself before posting. Alternatively, you may wait one whole day if the thread has been silent. This should be a full 24 hours, flight rising time.
2. You must post only for your Flight, not for another Flight. No, not even to show support!
3. You must clearly type your Flight's name somewhere in your post. Please, no nicknames for your flight unless they accompany the true name. This is to make it easier to tally! Additionally, please do not post any other flight's names unless encased in parentheses!
Example:
4. Points for a flight do not count unless a flight can get a "streak" going. What does this mean? Flights must have at least 2 posts from the same flight in a row for the points to go into their stock of points! This may be lowered or risen depending on how well it works out.
5. For every streak of 5, a flight gets one extra point. For example, if there were 5 Shadow Flight members posting in a row, they would receive 6 points total. If there were 10 Plague Flight Members posting in a row, by some stroke of luck, they would receive 12 points. This applies to anything above the multiple of 5. So... if there were 8 Fire Flight Members posting in a row, they would receive 9 points!
6. No verbal harassment, rudeness, or 'shaming' of other Flights or posters is tolerated.
7. Teamwork is encouraged, as is arranging times to post in the thread all at once. Also encouraged? Breaking up streaks!
Future Goals
---
At the point of writing this, Miniature Dominance hasn't even started yet. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but there are a few ideas I am thinking about implementing if this takes off. Feel free to suggest some, too!
My current ideas are:
1. Dispersing prizes to the lead posters of the top 3 ranking Flights at the end of the week.
2. Creating a method of official 'teams' for those who are interested.
3. Adding more, unique ways to gain more points!
