Interest in a small new game for the Board?

[Samoa Looch]

Hey there!
I hope it was alright to start this thread, if not, I apologize in advance.

I just wanted to ask if there would be any interest in a new board game, that crosses Ro-Sham-Bo (Rock, paper, scissors) and Sumo and doesn't (necessarily) need a big amount of active involvement from the participants...

I'd write up all the rules and how it's played, when I get a couple of voices on it. For now I just wanted to see if there'd be any interest at all.

Are the board games like the name this and that stuff in the games section?

And do we still have a games section?

This one I'm thinking of is quite a bit more intricate (even though the effort players have to invest is quite low) with overall standings & ranks (just like in Sumo Wrestling) and multiple tournaments over the year.

We do and I'd love for it to get more active. So yeah whilst I don't understand this Looch at present, I'd look in to the rules and give it a try.

Great to see at least some interest, but since Fourth is confused and others might think "The hell is this even about?", a very brief explanation about what I'm thinking.

Basically, you enter the Makuuchi, the highest division in Professional Sumo Wrestling (since we probably won't have enough people to have more) with your Rikishi (No, not THAT Rikishi. Rikishi means "Powerful man" and is the most common name for Sumo wrestlers) and when the next Honbasho (Professional tournament) rolls around, every participant sends in their Kimarite (In sumo bouts this is the deciding technique, for this game it's either Rock, Paper or Scissors) via DM.

That can be done every day, or every couple of days, or if you don't want to pay attention a lot, for the whole Honbasho in advance. (Normally a Honbasho is held every two months and lasts 15 consecutive days. For this game it depends on how many people would join. Maybe two Rikishi per player could be done. You'd manage a Heya (basically a stable) then. )

Then, each day, the Kimarite you've sent in is up against the Kimarite your opponent has send in. I'm thinking of a best-of-five system, plus a tie-breaker, to decide who wins the bout. Rince and repeat.
And depending on your success you get either promoted or demoted through the 5 ranks of the Makuuchi.

I'm always for the record.

I can understand Rock, Papers or Scissors at least. Sounds fun.

You won me over when you told me it involved minimal effort from the participants

 

[Samoa Looch]

Yea... the minimal amount of involvement would be to registrate for the next tournament every two months and then write me a DM with all of your Kimarite at once. So... two actions, pretty much.
Obviously, there could be done much more, because Sumo Wrestlers also hold interviews during tournaments and I don't have anything against players maybe wanna start trash talking "in-character"... but yea, the minimal necessary involvement is tiny.
