IBT#6 - Plans for the next Interactive Battle Tournament
Hi everyone,
I'm starting to think about kicking off IBT#6, so this post is to start to raise some Steem so we can get started.
As per usual there are positions on the IBT team if anyone is keen to volunteer - A post will come shortly calling for volunteers
Current thinking is IBT#6 will be run very much like IBT#5, I have some great new code being built for the bot, but it's a bit unstable and is pushing the boundaries...it will need a few more weeks testing at least - perhaps IBT#7
The only change intended for IBT#6 (outside some further graphic improvements) is to test the bot's ability to remember who players are. While this will ultimately be integrated in the competitions game play, for now it's to experimental....Still, no guts, no glory!! So some code will go live in IBT#6 to see how it holds up -The approach to items will change a bit in IBT#6, everything else will remain the same.
In IBT#6 there will be 3 levels, but the leveling system will change a bit.
Level 0 - No items, outside of gobbo or pickpocket and they only stick for the current stage
Level 1 - You may summon a single positive Luckydip item and it will stay with you for all stages. Gobbo and pickpocket still available but only stick for current stage
Level2 - The powerful spell (I will improve the odds of success for those casting it).
Just like IBT#5 to gain the luckydip item, you must make a small contribution to @wizardZap, say 0.01 Steem to help him power-up - I will display in the item shop the variety of items you could possibly summon, all will be positive in nature and a few will give a significant edge, should luck be with you :) . Remember I'm trying to get his power to 50SP quickly, so when he autovotes all your quality posts, you start to make a few cents...IBT wants to keep on giving, even when your not playing :)
Until the next update, I wish everyone a fantastic Steemit experience.
Cheers

Special thanks to @spaceginger for his artistic skills with the Interactive Battle Tournament Image above. 100% of Steem raised from this post will go to IBT prizes.
The major change in IBT#6 is that
I will be victorious!!
Prepare to get a condiment in your face! It could be relish or mayo....Ya never know.
He's back.....I wonder what a level2 burgermech looks like...
Thanks @lordnigel! I appreciate all that you do to make IBT happen... I am just sorry I didn't participate sooner! I got sick and I apologize for not responding more to the last series of comments we had. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help out. Let me know of any art needs as well... I am pretty handy with a pencil!
Looking forward to the next round!
One question, would we be able to send SBD instead of STEEM for the LuckyDip? I usually have SBD liquid... but I almost always power up my STEEM. I only have a little liquid Steem from last IBT and it's plenty to get the dips in! Just a thought. =)
Keep On Steemin On My Friend!
Hey mate - hope your feeling better now.
On SBD can send if want, but as it's not worth as much and the point is to also power up our bot, you would need to send a little more, like 0.02 ..which is still not heaps considering the prizes generally.
Cheers for support! - will have a think re help out
Thanks! Feeling MUCH better! I just remembered that one dude that sent the SBD and how it made things a bit tougher to keep up with. Having an SBD option would be helpful... but you are right, it would need to be more proportionally valued. You are the man! I will send a boost every now and then for the bot to try and help get it going faster. I like to sneak those in every now and then for my friends. =) Cheers
