WELCOME TO THE ZOOMAGEUO MAGNUS BATTLE TOURNAMENT!!!
Season 3!!!
(Voices of silence from the fictional crowd standing around me)
This is not exactly the reaction I expected after the return of the tournament after almost five years since the first one…
[Looks around] (Where are we exactly?)
[Whisper whisper whisper]
In Hell?!!! Did I die between the second and third?!
[Whisper whisper]
Oh. We are in Sheol…
We are in Sheol!!! What The Belgium (Thanks to the censor team here 24/7) Since when did we get to Sheol???
[Whisper] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheol
Belgium! I know what Sheol is, the meaning. I’m talking about how We got into it in the first place!!
[Whisper whisper whisper whisper]
So you want to tell me that all realities have collapsed and right now there are a few people trying to prevent the complete collapse of the skeleton that holds reality together by… the ruler of reality…
Don’t make things up!!! Tell me the truth!
[whisper whisper]
You want me to believe that this is what’s happening right now while we’re here. How did we get here?! Wait. What are you exactly?
[whisper]
I see. So I was kidnapped following the events of the second tournament and was just trapped inside this… [looks around] empty place, because ‘I’m too dangerous to upset the balance of the universe where I did the tournaments’ and it’s… whatever you called him or her… ‘Clara’, brought me here. This is a pile of Belgium what you’re saying here.
[whisper whisper whisper…]
And maybe stop whispering! There’s no one here. belgium. Who are you exactly?
[coughs] Typhoon, sir.
Typhoon? Like tropical storms or Typhon…
I’ll let you imagine.
Okay okay… Long breath… It’s been a while since I’ve wasted… You have an audience I can present… I’m losing my mind just talking to you.
Everyone here… just keep doing what you’re doing. I still have things to take care of anyway. Just call me whatever you want.
[Disappears]
[Looks around again, sees everything it mentioned]
Excellent, excellent… the show must go on.
Imagine I’m with a microphone
I will be the announcer for the third season of this tournament!
[Whisper]
I can’t use my name here?! Why.
[Whisper whisper whisper]
Oh. Very strong resentment here.
You can call me ‘The Host’ of this tournament. While we’re seeing the end of all things right before our eyes, why don’t we enjoy one last tournament before we’re all wiped out of existence?
[It’s really going to happen… right?]
[Whisper]
[Hope not]
Anyway, I guess you all came to ask me the following question:
‘Why are you taking a commercial break while the battle for the fate of the entire hyperverse is at stake?’
And yes - let me answer you the answer:
I’m bored. Again.
There’s not enough:
Blood!
Violence!
Action!
All around this forum, I’ve heard many voices wanting me back.
Representative number one:
Two!:
and Three!:
I heard you loud and clear - everyone who is still with us and those who are not and those who are returning in their greatness or not, I don’t care, as we see and read now.
The first season was the classic and the second was about chimeras. And now the third season, now - it will be about…
[whisper]
Why can’t I do it here?!!
[whisper]
Belgium You! This is my tournament and I can do anything I want, if you want me to engage all the criminals between universes from all time and space and reality, then let me do my job!
[Whisper whisper whisper whisper]
Wow… that’s genius! Okay, I’ll steal your idea. Now Shoo! I have things to do.
Season three will be something out of this existence or something that’s been done before. If you want evolution but also a battle to the death, you got this!
Season 3 will take us to the depths of hell. Deeper than anything we’ve done before - and with a collection of materials and bodies and souls and consciousnesses richer than any tournament we’ve had so far - this tournament will be nothing short of legendary!!
And thanks to Thypoon, we have no better chance than now…
[Whisper whisper whisper]
Thanks for the approval.
So - get ready for a month of battles to the death until the end of all things!
Get ready for:
ZOOMAGEUO MAGNUS BATTLE TOURNAMENT!!!
Season 3! The season from Hell!
(Crowd voices roar with excitement. This time for real.)
For those who want a taste of the past, please visit The Original or CWW.
For those who want to jump straight into the action, we don’t have to wait any longer.
This will be a kind of hybridization of the previous 2, but again - we are in a homemade hell created especially for the tournament. Because why be good when you can indulge in desires and greed!!!
When I talk about hell, I’m not talking about myths of a place where they abuse souls who have sinned… Look where we are now!
No no, I’m talking about an environment so hostile, so merciless, that you think how anyone can survive there… Hell incarnate. And that’s where our tournament is going to take place!
That’s why I’m bringing back the ZOOMAGEUO MAGNUS!!
Like Pokemon, but Thrive.
Due to logistical issues (and the fact that we’re short on time and in light of the fact that we’re all going to be wiped out from reality)… we can’t exactly start from scratch on the microbiome thing… my team isn’t here because someone kidnapped me here without them. So instead, we’re heading towards our second season, but differently.
So - let’s get started with our tournament plan!
Every week starting next month, battles will take place simultaneously against each other. Instead of each battle taking place on the weekend like in the first game, it will be spread out over the week on several factors at the same time! It’s All in War!
And when I say this is the end of the current round, this is the stage where any summary of something called ‘impact’ (score) will determine how successful you will be and with it - what your competitive position will be and you will receive prizes for your ZOOMAGEUO MAGNUS and with it you will have the opportunity to develop your creature, much like the one you know.
All in all, it’s planned to be a month of battles before we get to the final tournament week, where the last one standing will rule hell and be the winner of this tournament!
The first winner was Crypt horror by @zenzonegaming
and the second is the double winners @Cha and @TeaKing with Sun anoceros + death dragons respectively.
So I wonder who will win the third one.
Anyway, I’ve digressed enough from the main topic. It’s time to explain the rules and entry of this tournament!
I can say that everyone can enter regardless of previous experience, I promise you will enjoy it just as much.
(I am not responsible for any damage, loss of items, meaning of life or crowd scenes for the entire process of this tournament. A player who leaves the tournament early has a chance to touch hell himself. I don’t promise but I’m not saying it’s not possible)
So everyone who participates will get a primordial Zoomagnus called LUMCA (Last universal magical common ancestor) which luckily I have here. But it’s not an exact copy of the first season… because of all the logistical problems described. This means that the LUMCA we have here will actually serve as the core of the Zoomagnus that you will create - by weaving body parts together.
In other words - we create a zombie/monster for ourselves, throw it into hell in its incarnation and make it fight against others and develop in the cruel environment of blood and violence and competition for control, like demons.
That’s the summary of what’s going to happen, but now it’s time for the detailed details:
Each of the players who join now - until the end of the month and probably a little after, receives about 2000 points (yes, that’s a lot more than the first season). You can use these points to assemble (literally) its Z (I’ll call it Z for triple meaning) and give it meaning, form and life. Among them - each organ contains a feature, ability and mutations that you think the creature is able to survive there.
Here is the blueprint of each organ (doesn’t have to be exactly as I write, whatever is convenient for you, but it must have details):
Organ type: — (Can be a leg, hand, liver, intestines, spiritual arm. [For each addition of an organ, exactly like other limbs [because they are symmetrical] - cost 50% more in general and also 50% more effective for each addition])
A collection of features that can be added:
- Mutation - Like the ability to breathe oxygen, able to release poison or immune to something. I do not consider mutations that come with the organ type (something called ‘natural’ - lungs are able to take in air and intestines can digest. They are automatic mutations and there is no reason to include them as a mutation, those are if it is an extension of it - like the ability to digest something poisions or breathe something toxic). Cost - 100.
- Enhancements - anything that adds a basic status - strength, defense, speed, visibility, etc. For reference, you can look at the first season of the game and the games Immortal and Remmortal. Cost - 10.
- Abilities - unlike mutations, this adds direct combat abilities (‘active’). Basically, unlike the first season and more similar to the second - an ability is built based on the type of organ and its performance capabilities. In general - if the organ allows you to do this, it automatically enters the ability, as in a mutation. A leg can run away and horns can stab). Cost - 50.
- New! Augment - unlike the other options - this is an evolutionary mechanical addition (meaning it is a mechanical addition that is inherited) which allows you to add non-biological features to your Z - a mechanical chassis, laser eyes, plasma claws, and so on. This allows for surprise actions and allows for an advantage in certain cases, but has a heavier price in terms of repetition (mechanical not exactly friendly to biological along hereditary), but it will allow for variety and opens up possibilities for the future. Cost - 100.
- Magical Affinity - like in the first season - they are magical creatures after all! Generally speaking, every body part is considered a ‘neutral magical affinity’ and you can add magical affinity which can strengthen the other attributes if needed (including augments. Our augments can be adapted to magic). Depending on the affinity, the other attributes will be affected. See the Magical Affinity list below for all types of affinities. Cost - 50. [Note - Your Z is limited to only 3 different affinities for all body part types (excluding neutral). Opposing affinities are allowed]
There is no limit to how many of the options you can choose, but each organ is limited to a maximum of 250 base points per organ (if there is more than one organ [like two hands], remember that the base limit remains the same but the cost will increase).
There is no limit to how many organs you can add. What limits them is the points you have.
LUMCA:
Magical Affinity: Netural
Organs: Ganglion (can think and do)
HP - 10
Attack - 5
SP - 0 (How strong are your special abilities (1-2%))
Reworked! - P. Defense - 0 (How lucky is your defense against physical attacks?)
Reworked! - M. Defense - 0 (How lucky is your defense against magical attacks?)
Reworked! - Speed - 5 (How fast are you (determines the order of turns and hit chance))
New! - Awareness - 0 (how well you sense your surroundings - increases your ability to survive in general)
New! - Intelligence - 1 (Chance of choosing the best option for the situation)
Magical Affinity List
Fire
Earth
Water
Air
Darkness
Light
Reworked!Energy
New! Matter
Space
Time
Death
Life
Chaos
Oder
New! Kinetic
New! Telepathic
As you can see - our LUMCA has become the brain of your Z! Without it, your Z is dead (for real) and therefore, it is very important to protect it. It is impossible to improve or develop it beyond being used as the basis for everything, but you can connect other organs to it to perform additional functions.
And so - you can submit your information in the following way:
Magical Affinity: (Remember that you can only have up to 3 in total. It depends on what you added to your organs, but this is for convenience)
In each line, write the type of organ you want to add and what each organ adds to the rules.
Within each line (hidden lines are possible) in an order that is easy to read.
And if you want to call an entire animal cell by name, you are welcome, otherwise I will just use your username as a name
Basic image of your Z if you feel like adding to the look.
Like all previous times - in the tournament itself, the creatures perform all the actions themselves (it’s basically an autobattler) and with luck and advance preparation, you can manage to move on to the next stage.
But unlike previous times and more similar to the second season - each of your creatures will be ‘thrown’ into hell in its incarnation. The location will be random and with it the environment will be completely random in terms of conditions. But one thing is for sure - this is a very hostile environment. Little food, little water, environmental quality on the face. If you’re lucky, the entire Z and its population will fall into a relatively nice environment, but this will make you the target of the tournament’s random run and weaken your population.
If your population reaches zero, your Z will exit the next round and determine its place before returning in the next round with the bonuses and hoping for better luck.
Know that building an intelligence program for your Z will begin from the second round of the tournament, so that the first round will be on primitive instincts that are composed of their traits and mutations. This is literally an all-in war where not only your creature fights, but its population is warmed up against everyone at the same time to control and survive. Like in reality outside.
But don’t forget! Because of technical malfunctions because of… everything - LUMCA has no way to eat, drink, sense the environment or create energy in general to survive, it is basically a dead creature! Don’t forget to do this and build a healthy organ system before they are thrown into hell (literally). Skin [which is also considered an organ] on us.
And did I forget your environment changes every time? Depending on your luck or influence, the environment will change. Who knows, you might freeze hell completely…
And now that we’ve covered all the critical technical details, we need to talk about what the winner’s prize is! The ultimate winner of the tournament will win…
[whisper]
What?! If I can’t do this, then what’s the point of the tournament?
[whisper]
Okay… I’ll improvise something… later.
Anyway - There is no limit to how many people will participate, but I prefer it to be an even number, like in the first season.
If all goes well, registration will close at the end of this month and if you want to ask anything before or after registering, you are always welcome to ask your host, me!
So prepare yourself for a tournament unlike any other in its size, length and amount of violence!
(No creature, living soul or idiot was harmed during the writing of these lines post-Transition to Sheol or during the tournament itself. We are not responsible for any physical or mental harm to creatures or participants themselves. He has no control over what happens during the tournament and that is the responsibility of the players alone and not ours. In the event of an unexpected death of a creature or player or audience, Typhon is able to revive you without any harm. If the creature or player dies due to the end of all things, it is your problem because we will also cease to live. The participant who participates in this tournament agrees that I can use any information he provides to the tournament for internal use to make the tournament better, or to extort it. Whichever comes first)
Hope it will be a Gory season especially, of:
ZOOMAGEUO MAGNUS BATTLE TOURNAMENT!!!
Season 3! The season from Hell!
(Voices of real non-fictional fans behind me) !
[Whisper whisper whisper]
Belgium You! Okay… not gory. But Awesome instead… satisfied?
[whisper]
Weird-o.
(Throws the microphone to argue with the non-existent person in charge)
You all welcome to start writing.
