INTERACTIVE BATTLE TOURNAMENT#5 - STAGE FIVE FIGHT!

STAGE FIVE - OPTIONAL PVP BATTLES - Experimental -

Descending from the mountains you realise you now have two choices.  You can rest up at the local tavern, called the Stink pub OR 

Participate in the Bog Games for a PVP prize of 3 Steem.

The local tavern

All that booze is not good for your health, but should you choose this option simply ignore this Stage five and start playing Stage Six when posted. NO LIFE POINTS ARE USED IN THIS PVP.

The Bog Games

The locals like a good fight, I mean living in this stinking marsh lands gets boring - so they like to encourage visitors to beat each other up and then bet on the fights. 

1. To play you simply state you would like to challenge another player..then wait. 
2. To accept a challenge simply reply, grab an item if you need one? (level 0 and 1 players),  and then choose your attack. Note: If you are a level2 player and transferred a trophy you may use the  !special attack - it is really a great last ditch skill, but there is risk of a backfire and death
3. The defender counter attacks, and who ever gets the highest hit-point wins
4. Both players must attack, so if one player dies, the other player must still counter attack, if it results in a death also, it's a draw and 1 point each.

Point system is 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points if you lose.

YOU MAY ONLY FIGHT ANOTHER PLAYER ONCE! 

The player with the most PVP points at the end will be declared winner and take home a guaranteed 3 Steem IBT showbag.

If you play in the Bog Games it has no effect on the larger IBT#5 game.

Special Note on level ups and items: As you know, when you level up you can no longer summon/claim items from the previous level, remember though level 1 items are permanent once you have one. So while you can no longer get one if your level2, the level1 item is with you until the end of the competition (which means it counts here). If your still level0, you can always use luckydip once during this Stage (there is a chance you will get an item, even better than a level1).

In the spirit of IBT#4 - IF you roll a Gobbo, this is your hit score and your Items stack to Gobbo's hit as if it was your own. Players are to avoid throwing gobbo's at each other, but if you do, this rule will apply as well. 

Game Instructions - Quick summary of the battle process:

1. You need to self manage your character, you have 3 life points (3 attempts) to defeat the foe

• To display your life points, type a reply !l3. As you lose fights, display your current life points for others to see, i.e !l2 and then !l1.
• BOT BACKUP COMMANDS: In the event the bot doesn't activate there type !l3b or !l3c or just type in your reply how many lives you have left.Please delete/edit commands that don't work to keep the page tidy.

2. Optional Pickpocket time - You may attempt to pickpocket the enemy, you must do this before they are dead.

• Pickpocket is disabled for Stage 5 - PVP

3. Optional Item use time - You may have purchased an item from the item shop  and wish to use it for this Stage. To begin all players are player level 0, so the only items you may purchase are level0. Level0 items only stay for the Stage you purchased them and then the item is consumed. Level 0 items are randomly summoned, to do this.

• Transfer 0.01 Steem to the @wizardzap bot. Doing this will also have the bot upvote your other steemit posts while you remain a IBT player
• Type in a reply below !ibtluckydip - Then just wait and see what level 0 item you luck, most are +1 to hit, none are negative items. 
• BOT BACKUP COMMANDS: In the event the bot doesn't activate there type !ibtluckydipb or !ibtluckydipc or finally try !picksomepockets (and take the first positive item, you may need to run a couple of times)  - Please if possible delete/edit commands that don't work to keep the page tidy.
