King Of The Ring (KOTR)





Have you always wanted to Be Master Of Your Domain? To Rule Your Own Roost? Does your mom still tell you when to wake up and what to eat?!



Then for a brief moment, you can finally realize your fantasy with King Of The Ring! But don’t fool yourself. It’s not easy being the King, because with great power come great power struggles.



Killmaster offers several variations to the classic KOTR Game Type, but the same basic principles apply: get into the Ring to collect Tribute Points and cast out all would-be usurpers to your throne!





VARIATIONS :



Non-Dominational —Don’t think you’re special just because you got there first—you’re not! Non-Dom treats the Ringdom as if it were no-man’s land. Meaning that all players inside the Ringdom earn Tribute Points , even if opposing teams also stake their claim there. So you better be prepared to banish those pretenders, or soon they may have a greater claim to the throne than you!



But don't rush into Non-Dom with as little regard for your life as a pathetic peasant's! For though you are an immortal King with infinite lives, you can still be killed by re-spawn times!



Claim Your Ringdom —Can’t we all just get along?



...NO! And CYR proves it. Here you will find multiple “ mini-Ringdoms .” Of course, you could find one, settle in, and live out your days in peace......OR, you could be the One King To Rule Them ALL!!! To help you in your decision, there are a few special rules you should know about. First, Ringdoms in CYR can be controlled by only one player at a time. So quartering your entire “Royal Family” in your Ringdom may not be as beneficial as you think, since Tribute Points are paid ONLY to the first team member to assert a claim. Whatever should these free-loaders do?! Might we suggest an expansion?



Special Rule #2: even if everyone leaves a Ringdom, the original King will continue to collect Tribute Points until it is claimed by an opposing force—even if that original King dies!



The last Special Rule brings the final touch of realism to CYR: Not every Ringdom pays the same amounts in Tribute Points! That's right, soon someone's going to realize that they're not earning the same Tribute Points as you, and they'll start to wonder why. Then they'll start looking for a solution.



...Still think we can all get along?!



It's Good To Be King! —You’ve worked hard to make it, and now that you’re King, it’s time to enjoy the Perks ! What Perks, you ask? Well, in addition to receiving Tribute Points for each member of your team currently residing in your Ringdom , everyone on your team will share a random bonus. It could be anything! Maybe your reign instills fear in the heart of your enemies, making your Attacks more powerful. Maybe your benevolence in turn rewards you with more Tribute Points. Or perhaps the Gods favor you for your devotion and shower you periodically with special Items . Who knows! Every reign is unique, and so are its Perks!



But don’t become too carefree with your new extravagant lifestyle, because the desire to retain what one has already is never as great as the need to obtain what one has not! And it probably doesn’t help that we’ve incentivized everyone to kill you ;) That’s right, Regicide is rewarded with a huge bonus in Tribute Points! So while It’s Good To Be King, it’s Even Better To Be The NEW King!



Off With Their Heads! —The peasants are rebelling! Off With Their Heads! In this thrilling variation of KOTR, you’ll need to consolidate all your power in the Ringdom to ward off those filthy insurgents. This means that every member of your team MUST be in the Ringdom in order to collect Tribute Points .



But you’re not getting any easy bonuses here. The peasants hate your guts and are only paying out of fear, so no Perks and no extra Tribute Points for having multiple teammates in the Ringdom. But that’s ok, because you can bleed those extra Tribute Points from their cold dead corpses! That’s right, Kings get bonus Points for killing the rebel scum.



But just because you’re rich in Tribute Points doesn’t mean you’ll win this match. Unlike most KOTR variations, Off With Their Heads! limits the number of lives each player starts with. And if all other teams are eliminated, then the remaining team automatically wins. So if you feel you’re not receiving the Tribute Points you deserve or you just don’t feel like going through the hassle of collecting, then perhaps it’s time for Plan B: Watch The World Burn!!!
