TRI-ATHELON: BANNED ADD/SUB (Deadline: 11th January 2003)
Rules:
All the greatest quiz shows give the competitors the chance to play for double the money in one of the final rounds. In the final joust of the tournament you will be seeking vital extra points as your warrior plays multi-warrior, round-robin, and against a benchmark of modern warriors.
The use of the sub and add opcodes is forbidden
in round 5 entries. You may use p-space if you wish. PIN numbers are allowed,
but must not be the same as the PIN numbers of another player.
Our first event is multi-warrior, with three warriors in core, 5 points for a win, 2 points for a two-way tie, and 1 point for a three-way tie. All combinations of three warriors will be played.
pmars -= 5/S
The second will be a standard round-robin battle, with no self-fights, 4 points for a win, and 1 point for a tie.
pmars -= 5/S-1
The final event will see the entries battle against a benchmark of 20 warriors, 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie. The warriors will be:
- Quicksilver
- Son of Vain
- Olivia
- Behemot
- Vanquisher II
- Hazy Lazy
- Willow
- MyBlur2
- Win!
- CrazyShot 2
- G2
- Firestorm
- Stylized Euphoria
- Disincentive
- Reepicheep
- Return of the Fugitive
- Digitalis 2002
- Origami Harquebus
- Self-Modifying Code v0.11
- Shapeshifter

Your score for each event will be the score of your highest entry. For round 5, your score is the sum of your scores over the three events, for a maximum of 300 points.
Last round's naming scheme proved popular, so if you're not sure what to call your round 5 entries, why not name them after comic book heroes and villains.
Good luck, and thank-you for taking part :-)
