Thanks for the feedback everyone! I think I’ve decided which changes I’m going to make for the next game.

-The 500 W bonus to fighters going against who made the most last round has been removed.

-Rerolls are free, they will calculate using half of the original Widget value put in.

-Round 1 will be one week, the remaining rounds will be 4 days each. I may also have a blog entry for early sign-ups. The exact release date hasn’t been determined, but there probably won’t be as much time between 2 and 3 as there was between 1 and 2. Probably January or February.

-Title Match will have only one promotion opportunity with guaranteed success followed by a chance for a second multiplier. No rerolls.

-Promotion use limits will be left as is, stat points will remain at 13, starting Widget count will be raised to 5000.

-Once a fighter has been promoted by several players in the same round they become harder to promote—all further rolls will have 1 deducted from their talent and rerolls will not be offered. This resets next round, of course. The Championship Match will offer rerolls in this circumstance but will only use 25% of the original input, and the Title Match still guarantees success but applies the deduction to the second roll. A lot of the specifics of this mechanic are still being refined.

-You only receive a cut of a fighter’s money if you succeeded in promoted them that round. Even if you fail every attempt in a round you can still use a reroll so this shouldn’t be an issue.

-The bonuses on promotion have been split, higher success for corresponding method and higher payout for non-corresponding methods.

As for the fighters, based on input I’ve decided to use 8 lines with 2 fighters each, the lines being Bionicle G1, Bionicle G2, Slizers, RoboRiders, Hero Factory, Galidor, Knights Kingdom II, and Exo-Force. Rather than coming up with new promotion methods I’ll have each method correspond to two lines:

-TV Commercial: G1, G2

-Magazine Ad: Slizers, Galidor

-Radio Ad: Hero Factory, Knights Kingdom

-Internet Campaign: RoboRiders, Exo-Force

The exact roster will be determined through a poll, which I plan to begin on Thursday. Please stop by and vote!
