Proposal : Fight Club

[ Automating the combat system so that specimens can fairly resolve their own battles through the GNDT, and also have a better idea of how well a particular fight is likely to go. ]

Reword Rule 14 (The Arena) to:-

Any Specimen in the Arena may attack another Specimen in the Arena by posting a GNDT change that includes the string "Self:DICE+X Opponent:DICE+X" in its comment, where "Self" and "Opponent" are the two specimens' names, and X are the combat modifiers specified in the next paragraph. (The words "DICE" will be automatically replaced with the results of six-sided die rolls.)

Each combatant's ATT is added to their die roll, and their opponent's DEF is subtracted from it. The Specimen with the lowest total is defeated; they lose 10 Life and are moved immediately to the Lab. The victor gains 10 Life. (If scores are tied, then nothing happens.)

If a Specimen defeats a Specimen whose combined Attack and Defence exceed its own, then the victor's Intelligence shall increase by one.

The instigator of the battle may optionally post a commentary of it to the BlogNomic weblog.

Enacted by Damanor, 13 Nov. +10 to Kevan, +5 to Damanor.
