"Welcome one and all to the DGames Death Ring! Do you have what it takes to be the fastest gunslinger in this side of the 'boards? Well, there isn't any time to answer because everybody else in the ring is already unholstered! We're going to have a showdown tonight ladies and gentlemen."
"I'm your host, UtopianPoyzin: live at the Death Ring for a good 'ole fashioned, realistic game of Ricochet. The way it was meant to be played. From here on out, there are no 'extra lives' and 'more HP' garbage. You get hit once, you dead son. No theming, just straight gunning."
"Of course, you have options; you don't need to go all guns-blazing mode all the time. If you aren't already familiar with the rules of the game, here's a quick refresher. I'll be right back, after the break."

- Each player has 1 HEALTH POINT. No more, no less. There is one item that gives a player a base of 2 HP, but thats besides the point because only one player gets it.
- There are 5 STANDARD ACTIONS that you can perform, a twist from prior.
- Shoot [Player]: Deals one damage to a player of your choice. Unless they shoot self, of course.
- Shoot Self: If you are attacked by a player, reflects all damage back to your attackers. If you are not attacked at all when shooting self, you suffer one damage.
- Shoot Air: Deals no damage, but it makes the sky pretty upset. Your most neutral move in your arsenal. If attacked with a penetrating shot, you take no damage.
- Defend [Player]: Negates one damage that would have been dealt to the targeted player. Excess damage past 1 is dealt to you. Does not protect yourself from being shot. You cannot defend yourself.
- Misfire: The default action if no action is submitted. Yes you can also request to misfire for some reason. If you misfire, you do "nothing" on the phase you use it. If you misfire twice in a row, you take one damage.
- [However, the phase directly after you misfire, you deal trade-off damage. For example:
- Normal shots deal 1.5 damage to your target. and deals 0.5 damage to you.
- Failed self shots deal 1.5 damage to you. Successful self-shots are unaffected.
- Air shots deal 0.5 damage to you.
- Defending somebody deals 0.5 damage to you in addition to defending 1.5 hits.
- The 1.5 doesn't have a huge impact in this game, but misfires will return in my upcoming game, so I'm implementing it now.]
- Additionally, you can use one item per phase along with your standard action. There is no shop to buy such items; they are instead voted upon in this thread. There will always be two items up for grabs for these first three phases. The player with the most votes gets the firstly mentioned item, and the second most votes gets the secondly mentioned item. Y'all have done this before.
"Well, it seems like this is going to be a short one! I just received confirmation that this game will be a maximum of four phases long, and that if the game stretches to four phases, the only options available become Shooting actions. Even though in all honesty, defending and misfiring aren't that good of options on as lightning-fast of a game as this."
"Huh, more information just seems to have arrived. Apparently this game will comment regardless of player count at 3:30 PM EST on March 2nd; this is going to start sooner than I thought! With that being said, your loving host and announcer UtopianPoyzin, signing out."
"Reminder, if you REAAALLY feel the need to make an ingame PM to another player, make sure you include me in it."
