Spoiler: Intro (click to show/hide)

You are about to witness an incredible struggle spanning the metaverse of this forum.
(We were doing multiverse, before it became a fad! And we'll do it after too.)

Two players will go head to head, best of 5 takes all!

They must be ready for any challenge, anything can and WILL happen!

These can range from surviving in a harsh unforgiving desert in an RTD, to liberating souls as zombies in a Wiki War.

Who will allow these 2 trespassers to vie for victory over a brief challenge in their game. Who will dare try to play. Who!?

Find out right now on

FORUM RUNNER: 3RD EDITION
Bay 12 Forum Game and RP Championship


Best of 5
2 week challenges
Across the forum games
2 players

           ASIDE(how meta!)

I've shopped this event around to hosts from time to time since its' debute in 2017. I was always trying to get things planned beforehand, but this really demands more flexibility and to be at peace with a bit of...chaos.

In that spirit, 2 hosts have opted in and 1 is ready to start. This may just be a best of 3, like the first one became. If necessary, I'll take the job of host #3(which game, tba).


If a third host express interest before challenge 2, we'll maintain best of 5.



That's about it, really. Please join, spectate, comment, and have fun!

PAST HOSTS - Rethi-Eli, Liquefied Spleens, Greatness942

Pretty eager to have my game featured first. This could go amazingly.

As host, Greatness942 finished the first (and only) challenge in FR 2. (Thanks G)

I truly hope that the wonderful Forum Runner challenge becomes a shining standard of the Bay12 games forum.

Let's hope Forum Runners becomes a mainstay in this forum. It's a great thing to work with, beginning to end!

 WE ARE FULLY BOOKED!

think up a 2 week challenge for 2 invading players(what they do doesn't have to be on the same timescale as your game)
it just needs to "exist" in that world in someway(and be different than what your regular players would do)

PM your challenge for review, and give it a nickname.

Confirmed contestants

• TricMagic
• Dunamisdeos

Confirmed hosts

• a1s

  1 week break.
  
• Nov 18 Nov 25: Locked-in.
  (Perk OK) Auxiliary 1: Only run if 1 win by both players.

NEW: We're gunna do an underdog bonus.

For fairness, I have decided to standardize this. When a player is losing, they can choose 1 underdog bonus:

TYPE 1
A. Pro Tips: The host will coach you in how they would try to win, so long as it doesn't make the event "very hard" for the opponent.
B. Premonition: Learn about 1 unrevealed trial at least 7 days before your opponent.

TYPE 2
C. Perk: A gameplay advantage, can be anything the host decides, so long as it doesn't make the event "very hard" for the opponent.
D. Rain Check: Next time you win, you get a Perk in the following event. (may be themed on your win)

You can only choose each bonus once. TYPE 2 may not be available for all events, in that case you replace that bonus with a TYPE 1.

Hall of Fame:

TankKit - S34N1C - TricMagic

MadMonkey has already revealed that the second trial will be Losing Is Fun - Part II.

I will now reveal that the first trial will be held in Ventures by Torchlight by a1s!


Please help these hosts to start on shedule, by nominating our contestants, ASAP!

THANK YOU


UPDATE: Now open to self-nominations. Time is short-so we will skip nominee voting this year. Hurry!

[a1s]

It feels weird nominating people who haven't volunteered...
That said, my nominee is TricMagic.

[RoseHeart]

Good choice, for me I'll nominate Mephansteras. That guy is waaay too smug! He should suffer some trials to humble him a bit.

(Be sure to say something nice about your nominee when you post, so I can include a friendly quote when I PM them.)


Nominee unable, so I'll change my choice:

I nominate FallacyofUrist. He's won a few of my games and is versatile.

It feels weird nominating people who haven't volunteered...

I think there's a certain charm to it, but perhaps it is necessary to open things up, like was done for Reth's Forum Runner 2.

So, I will welcome self nominations!

[MadMonkey]

I nominate Dunamisdeos who is probably my most prolific player!

[Supernerd]

I'm going to nominate Nirur Torir.
They were one of the most active and clever players in my original Bay12 Gridhood Game, and they are still using these forums to this day.

an odd choice. But sure I guess.

[TricMagic]

Freedom!

[Dunamisdeos]

I don't understand what this is but I HAVE BEEN CHOSEN.

[RoseHeart]

I am turning you two over to a1s. You will receive instructions from them on how to begin. This trial will conclude two weeks after it starts. This is your first of best-of-five trial. Break a leg out there.

To affirm you are ready, please post "Ready" in the Forum Runner Thread.

TricMagic, player 1, pink, & Dunamisdeos, player 2, limegreen have been notified. Stay tunned as more develops.

[TricMagic]

Ready~ TricMagic sends a dappered up Tim through a portal. It howls ith the sounds of demons and brimstone burning.

[a1s]

TricMagic dives head-first into the game, taking out a loan to outfit an adventurer.
Dunamisdeos takes a more conservative approach of not joining. A risky move, but will it pay off for him?
Find out on... FORUM RUNNER!

[Dunamisdeos]

I find myself in the most confusing environment I could possibly find myself in for a old man on the internet: An unfamiliar forum game format. I have awoken in a land where men bid on other men for the purpose of adventure. Intent on purchasing what the locals refer to as a (checks notes) Bean Doctor, I have placed my bid.

Game: Ventures by Torchlight
Goal: Most accumulated wealth

Spoiler: Host Explanation (click to show/hide)

Sorry for missing a day.

Your first mission is to join the game as players and try to amass as much wealth as possible in 6 turns (by Friday the 14th). It doesn't matter how much you have, as long as it's more than the other guy!

TricMagic start | Dunamisdeos start
Next: October 14th
