I was sitting in my Laz-E Boy the other night, sick as a dog.  I didn't have the energy to look for my remote so I sat through a Law and Order marathon.  When the marathon ended, an episode of WWE Raw came on.  I hadn't watched wrestling in fifteen years so I gave it a shot.  I was not impressed.  These were not the colorful characters of my youth.

Disappointed I reached for some more NyQuil, rolled onto  my side and drifted out of lucidity and into one of those Elmer Fudd dreams.

I'm in a room with Hulk Hogan.  He's nodding.  "Got it.  Secret.  Ok, Boss, I won't tell anyone."  It becomes clear he's talking to me.  "Just tell me what you want me to do in this Battle Royale."

I think quickly on my feet and give him instructions.  He grins, approvingly and pats me on the back as he walks out of what must be my office.  As he leaves I look around.  I'm fairly certain I'm dreaming, but I'm not going to ruin this.  I'm in the 1980's and I'm in charge of Rasslin'.  This is a childhood dream come true.

Ric Flair struts into my office.  "Wooo-oooo.  You got some instructions for me?"  I rub my palms.  "Indeed".  After I gave him his secret instructions, "Macho Man" Randy Savage and 9 more of the biggest icons of 1980's wrestling, the golden years, come to me for a secret.

I begin to run out of secrets.  By the seventh wrestler, I am stumped.  "I have an idea."  I look o my left to see Phaze.  He shrugs.  "I know this is your dream, but I'd like to help."  I motion for him to continue.

After the final wrestler leaves, we walk towards the owner's box to see what we've managed to put together.

Each wrestler has their own secret WinCon.  There will be at least three winners.  Each wrestler will also have a secret ability.  Along with their secret ability, each wrestler has the opportunity to choose from a community set of actions as follows.

There are five(5) actions that each wrestler can choose from each night:
block - blocks an opponent's action
RID Pin - If correct, wrestler is elimintaed
Vote manip - Can change a wrestler's vote during the next day
Pin attempt - 3 pin attempts during the match eliminates a wrestler. Only one attempt per night on each wrestler.  Attempts will not be in NP until 3rd attempt)
Pin Save - Prevents a pin attempt on any wrestler for that night.

Each move can be selected during each night phase a set amount of times {x}, depending on number of wrestlers still in play {n} [ x = Roundup(n/4,0)]. If more people choose a move than there are available, nobody gets to use that move.  For example, on N1 there are 12 players.  Each action can be chosen 3 times.  If 4 or more people choose the same action, it will go unused.  If on N2 there are 10 players, each action can be chosen 3 times still (10/4 = 2.5 which rounds up to 3).

This game will utilize Borda Voting.  See here for an explanation. 

Each player will vote for up to three (3) players as follows:

16. maurice voting for {PlayerA,PlayerB,PlayerC}

The points will be as follows [X,Y,Z] will receive 3,2,1 votes respectively.  You are not required to vote for all three positions, however any vote with two players will score 2,1 and any vote with one player will score 1.

Tie rules -
1. Most 1st place votes
2. Most 2nd place votes
3. Most pin attempts on player
4. Most points accumulated in previous days
5. All in tie flip a coin

Vote manips will change the order of the votes for player.  If more than one player manips a player's vote, then I will take the average of the points each manip would give those players.

Phaze and I are still hammering out one or two secret abilities, but they are about ready to go
