- - - - -NEW RULES and INFO - - - - -

The Boot and Immune game was the brainchild of blackcyborg and has been continued through the efforts of others, SUCH AS tgrant, moosie_fate, wyndrain, and others. (The first thread of this game reached 1498 posts!) Of course it could not last long without everyone taking part. However, there have been a few who have made this game difficult rather than fun either through malice or ignorance. The following is some ground rules that I hope will help keep this game going and not banned by the gods of MKO. These are not set in stone and could be changed or completely removed depending on feedback. Mainly wrote this so no one can whine "I didn't know."

1. THIS IS ONLY A GAME! Please repeat as often as needed THIS IS ONLY A GAME!

2. Everyone gets ONE Immune and ONE Boot vote per round.

3. 7 Boot votes removes a character from the game, 7 Immune votes prevents the character from being booted through the existing and following round. After which his/her votes are set to (0,0)

4. DO NOT create/clone multiple accounts/membership/usernames/etc so as to be able to vote more than once. If you are caught you will be ban for the rest of the existing game, and if you are a repeat offender you will be banned permanently. Your name will be seen on the Banned List so that everyone knows whose vote not to count when adding up the votes.

5. Flames are to be kept to a minimum. If your favorite character/fighter has been booted from the game, please refer to Rule #1. However you are allowed to weep and/or cry.

6. Each round will have at least 15 votes. The exception is when there is no one else to vote for. This may happen in later rounds where there are fewer fighters to choose from.

7. DO NOT change your vote after the tally is posted. You are welcome to change your vote during an existing round, but once the round is over it is too late.

8. Team efforts are welcomed.

9. If those of us who normally count the votes are not available and there is already a high number of votes, feel free to complete the tally. Note: Please be honest, trust me others will check your math.

10. When a character wins, he/she will not be included in the following games until after the Grand Championship.

11. In the event of the final round, the final two characters in the game will have their votes set back to one. This is when you vote for the winner. The first to seven votes wins the game.

12. The game MUST only be updated by players who DO know and FALLOW this rules. Please, if you are not sure how the system works, dont update in order to keep the game with out confusion.

GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP

When there are 16 champions, a Grand Championship between the fighters shall start. The Grand Championship will have basically the same rules as the normal Boot and Immune game. The winner of this game will be given the title of Grand Champion and will sit out of the following games until it comes time to defend his/her title. The others will return to the Boot and Immune game as ordinary fighters. Aside from the first Grand Championship, there will be one returning Grand Champion and 16 challengers to vote for.
