(Interactive-DRAFT STARTED, FIRST POST FOR TEAMS) Five Strides on the Banked Track
 

Taking signups for an interactive dynasty using Roller Rumble (by plaay.com), a Roller Derby board game/sim.

To sign up, indicate the following:

(A) Your Roller Derby Name: (Can be your real Name, fake name, etcetera)
(B) Your preferred position (Choose from: Jammer, Blocker, Pivot, or hybrid position, Jammer/Pivot, Blocker/Pivot)
(C)Your preferred skill: (see Below)

Some explanations:

Jammers are the scorers for a team. A Jam begins when a Jammer breaks free of the pack. Jammers then have sixty seconds to come around and pass as many opponents as possible, scoring one point per opponent they pass.

Blockers are the defense of a team. Their job is to prevent the Jammers from passing them, and create openings for their own team's Jammers to score.

The Pivots are the captains of the team. Their job is to set the pace of the pack, and to set their team's strategy. The best pivots are the ones who can do it all, deck the opponent's jammers, and when necessary, go out on a jam themselves.

Each player will have at least one skill (and usually more). Signups get to choose their first skill from the following:

AGILE - Good at using their agility to dodge opponent attacks and/or put their opponents out of position (used by Jammers, and sometimes by Pivots)

BIG - Size, pure size (Best by Blockers)

CHEAT - The ability to bend the rules to your advantage... for example, "accidentally" running your opponent into the infield, or hipcheck them at an opportune moment to send them flying over the rail. Cheaters have a tendency to end up in the penalty box more often, but it's generally worth the price. (All positions can benefit)

FAST - Speed.. meaning your player won't waste time catching up with the opponents pack and quick to take advantage of any holes that open up. (Jammers and Pivots)

MEAN - The other side of being the bad guy, Mean players have a habit of wearing out the opposition. It's a lot easier to win the game when the opponents star player is in the infield wondering what the number of the mack truck that hit him was.. (Blockers and Pivots, but some Jammers can have this ability too)

POWERFUL - Strength. Physical power. the ability to knock down opponents, or move them out of position for your smaller, faster players to take advantage. (Blockers)

SMART - Knowledge of the game. SMART players know that a mininum of effort can end up with a maximum of effect. They tend to know their opponents tendencies, and use them to their advantage. (Pivots especially but jammers and blockers can have it too)

STAR - Roller Derby is all about Star power. These are the folks that the TV cameras gravitate to. Star players are the team's movers and shakers as well as the ones who inspire their teammates. Star players can get the crowd going (either cheering or booing)

Your player likely will have more than one skill, but the number of skills and each skill after the first is random depending on your position and a random die rolls. Some of your abilities may be even better, for example, a normal mean player may be a player with a bit of an edge, a player with MEAN * is their teams enforcer, and a MEAN ** player is one of the most feared players in the league, where it's not a matter of who you're going to hurt, but when and how many.


Rules: I need eight players for a team (If we get less, I'll let people create a second or even a third skater to fill the roster out, and if we get more, if there's enough demand, I'll create a second team)

Each game consists of eight skating periods, four by the women's skaters (which will be NPC's unless people want to create female skaters as well) and four by the men. The women skate the odd periods, the men skate the even periods)

A Minor penalty means the player has to miss the next minute of skating action (six cards), their team has to skate shorthanded, and if the other team starts a Jam while you're in the penalty box, the other team automatically scores a point along with the points for any other skaters passed.

A Major Penalty, or four minor penalties mean the player is ejected. Like a misconduct penalty in hockey, another player has to go to the penalty box and serve the penalty.

So, our FOFC team has seven skaters, we have one spot on the men's team left

Do you want to create women skaters, or should I draft you a women's team when I'm drafting out the rest of the league?

Nice, I'll take it, pretty much the types of rolls I was hoping for :D

Yes, I AM that famous!

Awesome. That's how I roll. :D

I'm fine with whatever you guys decide.

Female

Sandy Claws
Jammer

I'll be updating the final two skaters (Crimson, mind captaining the Women's team) and drafting the teams tonight.

sure I can do that. Sandy is a girl's name too anyway. :)

And just for kicks...no team is right without a Flamebeard on the roster. Good ole Erik Flamebeard of the Neither Here Nor There wound up settling down with his lovely wife, Erika Stonecrotch. Don't even ask what the kids are like.

Erika Stonecrotch-Flamebeard (of the Neither Here Nor There)

If you need another, I'll join

At the tanning salon as we speak :)

Bug: You're more then welcome.

I'm willing to put off building the FOFC team until tommorrow, so everyone who's previously submitted a male skater is free to submit a female skater as well, and I will create folks tonight and tommorrow and then draft out the teams as needed.

Male

(A) Wesley Avenger
(B) Jammer/Pivot
(C) Smart

Female
A - Alotta Fagina
B - Blocker
C - Big

Kathy Griffin - Female (yes, I have decided to make Kathy Griffin female for this)
Jammer

so am I supposed to make both a male and a female skater?

Female character
Jessie " Juggs" Jurgeson
Blocker
Powerful

Female Character
Name: "Bettie Rage"

Nope! Said I'd get things going tonight after work, and I will :)

(plus my sleeping pattern is atomized, due to a new work schedule, but hopefully I'm getting used to it)

what is an FM demo?

Woot! STATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'm working on a Google Doc with all the skaters created so far:

I am also going to be adding NPC's to fill out the 16 Male and Female skaters in the draft. (Although I can pull them if we get any more people)

Decide who the captains will be: One will have 1st/4th pick of Males, the other will have 1st/4th pick of the Women

so what is it? boys vs girls? :)

I think my Male skater is an elf not a reindeer. ;)

Male Skaters: Welcome to Google Docs

Female Skaters:Welcome to Google Docs

Note: NPC's were not created using this system, but picked from the RA-set, where the other four teams in the league will be drafted from

No, there's 16 skaters to a team (8 male, 8 female) A game is either six or eight skating periods, the females skate the odd (1/3/5/(7)) periods, and the males skate the even (2/4/6/(8) periods)

Meet the other teams in the NRDL (National Roller Derby League)

The San Francisco Bombers: Welcome to Google Docs

The women's team is a one-woman team, really, but "Fast Lane" Debbie Dayne may be the best female skater in the league.. but can she stand up to the attention that she'll be getting week in and week out from the other team? Their scoring options are limited outside of Dayne, but the team is very nimble on their skates.

That.. isn't so much the case on the men's side: When you can put out three slabs of beef like Frankie Pyne (6'1" 230), Larry Boykin (6'3" 210), and "Big E" Elbert Kovac (5'11" 180) at the same time.. there's suddenly not as much need for agility.. there's not really much place to go. Not to mention benchwarmer "Massive" Mark Ferguson (260 lbs!) on the bench for when they really want to clog up the skating lanes. Player-Coach David Mayes fills the pivot slot, and they're going to be relying on an average (at best) jamming attack of Johnny Jay and Danny Colavetti to score points.

The Chicago Demons: Welcome to Google Docs

Play this team, and you'll be seeing red, and I'm not just talking about their red and black shirts. They've led the league in penalties and ejections three years running, led by male captain Doyle "The Razor" Shick. However, the team may have a fatal flaw in their roughhouse style. They only have two recognized Jammers on both the men's and women's rosters. Considering the penalties for playing out of position (lose all ties on skills), they'll be going to other teams and asking for trades.. but the reputation of the Demons will be working against them.

The New York Legends: Welcome to Google Docs

The Legends are a very good team, so much so that the other teams (especially the Demons) complain the league favors them. They have talent at every position. However, the Legends are a team in crisis. They have quite possibly the two best pivots in the league.. and both of them want to be #1, and the other one gone.

2 years ago, it looked like Stuart "The King" Henson, one of the most talented (and arrogant) players was on his way out of town. So, the Legends managed to sign pivot Gary Brewer from the defunct Milwaukee Miracle, and signed him to a long term deal, but then The King decided he wanted to stay. So, the Legends have spent the last couple seasons trying to placate both players.. and failing miserably. Both want that #3 position badly, and it could be only a matter of time until one of them says "Play me or trade me". But who, and what could the Legends get back from them?

The Austin Rangers: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...tEV0E&hl=en_US

The Rangers are probably the most disciplined team in the league. Their captain, Tom "U.S." Marshall likes to remind his teammates of the phrase "The Eyes of Texas are upon you". The team's practices are some of the longest, most ardurous around, and they've trained relentlessly on tactics, able to shift blocking patterns on command. However, there is a downside.. Marshall has run off three Jammers in the last year and a half alone because they wouldn't buy in to the system (Jammers tend to freelance and be more spontaneous.. something that drives Marshall crazy). The Rangers are trying out Jammer prospects, but until they find one that fits their style, they're going to be stuck with hoping that "Rodger Dodger" Rodger Bailey, and Ernie DiBernardi will hold up.

If you're looking for captains, i volunteer. Or do you mean the actual skaters are the captains. If so Sandy Claws would make a good captain.

Granted I don't understand what the captain "does". Is there some special captain rule? or are you just talking more about dealing with who plays and rests and stuff.

Basically, the captain drafts the team and sets an initial starting lineup, that's all :)

Okay I can do that for the female side.

Still not sure what you mean by drafts the team. Isn't that the team? The people we created?

I've created 16 male and 16 female skaters (enough for two teams)

So you'll draft 8 males and 8 females to make up one team, and someone else will draft 8/8 to make up the other FOFC team

aha!

So, we need someone to captain the other FOFC team

So what's the make-up of a team? Any special things I should be looking for stat-wise? WOndering how much star rating plays into things too.
I'm thinking of stinking predominantly with people's actual characters instead of using npcs. More fun that way.
Unles we get more signups.

I guess if no one else wants to be a captain why don't you do it, fozzie. Unless people aren't aware we need one more.

Ok.. do you want first and fourth pick of the guys or the gals? (the other you'll have the second and third)

You're going to want three people who can block, three people who can jam, and two pivots (remember, unskilled players have penalties in positions they can't play).. dual or even tri-position players can help. TV grade helps when it comes to TV related highlights, but in general, consider their roles when choosing skills (although sometimes big will come up with jammers, etcetera, more often then not a key star will come up when determining who gets to lead a jam)

oh so all 8 of those players will be playing at once? all 8 girls and all 8 guys? 8 is a full team on the field?

I'll go 2nd/3rd btw.

No, there's 5 on the track at one time, the other three are subs.
'
Here's how it works:

1 2 3 4 5
B B P J J
B B P J J

(B=Blocker P=Pivot, J=Jammer)

How it works: The Fast Action Card (FAC for short) will provide an action:

Example: BIG Blocker in 2 pushes his opponent out of the way, clearing space for Jammer.

You would check the players in position 2 for the BIG stat.

If NEITHER have the BIG ability=No action, move on to the next card
If BOTH have the BIG ability=, roll a die 1-4 the home team advances one step closer to launching the jam, on a 5-6 the visiting team does
If ONE has the BIG Ability and the other does not= Advance that team one step closer to the jam (and if they have the ability starred, then they advance an extra space, basically BIG* is like BIGx2)


On the JAM track, advancing three spaces means that you're the lead jammer for that jam. You are more likely to score (but you're not guaranteed to score more than the opposition, just that you're the team to break loose first)

However, there is also a POWER JAM.. a Power Jam is a fourth square down the track.. it can only be reached by advancing two squares in one action, or deliberately playing for the POWER JAM by deciding not to JAM when you hit the square. It's a risky play, because if the other team hits the JAM square (the third) before you advance to POWER JAM, they can launch the Jam themselves and deny you the lead jammer ability.

But if you DO hit power jam, then you are the only team that can score any points, it's assumed that your Jammer breaks away completely while the other team's jammers are stuck in the pack, and they stay back to try to block

Ok, We'll do the guys first:

I'm creating the Boston Hitmen:

With the first pick from the male skaters list, the Boston Hitmen select:

Izulde Jestor (Jammer)

A five stat Jammer with a AA TV rating??? Yes please.

CrimsonFox has the next two picks (it goes two in a row from now on)

Name your team and make your picks, Crimson

okay only guys then? Name pending...

Pick 2: Wesley Avenger / MrBug

Hmmm do you want me to let you pick your own player then? :) Cause Giavanni looks good but I'll pass on him if you want him.

Go ahead

Death Ray

Ty Roy

Um, that's three picks in a row, so I'll pick around you :)

I pick:

Jace "Hunter" Slater, and Steve "The Snake" Yarno. You get one more pick.

Huh?
I thought you picked your next two already.

I looked at the spreadsheet and saw you picked a couple more so I thought you were saying it was my turn to pick two more. Sorry.

I made picks based on who you didn't fill on as being your team.

Put them in but wasn't sure, let me update the first post :)

maybe we should do this live like in a chat area or somethin :)

Ok, this is what I have so far:

Round 1:
Me: Izulde Jestor

i really wish I would have made my male a pivot/jammer instead of just pivot at this point.

I didn't pick ace idol, I picked Death Ray

if you have aim installed, turn it on :)

Macroguru's char

cool we're in business

A first round pick? I hearby forgive you for leading the charge to get me killed in the Red Death 2 ww game

Next two Boston Picks:

Nitrous Oxide and Harold "Howdy" Harrelson

;) you're a star baby!

Mad Monk Palmer
Reindeer Rocket

Since we didn't have quite enough jammers, CF asked to change the position of his player to a Jammer/Pivot, and that was no problem

My two:

Ace Idol and David "Deadly" Gonzalez
