Thanks to these folks who Beta tested the new format idea I had. 1st @Frost 2nd @Goomybear 3rd @Imperio 4th @Idolize 5th @Gmail 6th @TateMcRae 7th @High 8th @Jake 9th @Jarhead 10th @Nenalala 11th @SummerMariah Basically the format is simple. First set normal. After that it looks like this. POV: chooses one player everyone MUST put in their set. Second nominee is chosen by the house, meaning everyone can still politic on who that second player is going to be. No special Purge rules, purges could just end up saving potential nominees. ChatGPT told me to call this format #Throwdown and I like it. Miss me with other colors of Beaver ideas.

I know a lot of folks have been liking Vengeance, but I also know it isn't perfect. I have another idea to make a format for normal games and would love to get some feedback. First set normal vote. Every other round: POV: chooses one player everyone MUST put in their set. Second nominee is chosen by the house, meaning everyone can still politic on who that second player is going to be. This way purge doesn't influence anything really other than saving folks who may have been going into elim. Also the POV still has a great amount of power and doesn't necessary get targeted by the elimination winner unless the person who they put directly in not only wins the elimination but also POV. It wouldn't be as dramatic as Vengeance can be, but it could open the door to a different layer of strategy. Let me know what we think! If this does catch on too, I would love it if Vengeance stays in the rotation as well as Golden Beaver.

After a few days away due to some pretty intense personal life challenges, I finally can play a few games again. Happy Friday!

To @Xakim for winning 3 games of Vengeance, getting entered into the gift draft 3X, getting selected, and then winning the poll! You have earned a gift from @Goomybear! https://kovaze.com/blog/52025 Please send me what you want from the shops and I will buy it for you! #VengeanceArena

Thank you so much to all the players who have participated in this format! I kept track of the winners so far (the best I could I didn't play in all the games of this format) and I entered them all into a drawing. In order to avoid speculation that I just handpicked a winner I drew 4 names and will now allow the public to vote on who I should gift. The winner will get to pick anything they want from any shop and I will buy it for them! I will close the poll some time tomorrow so get your votes in, and go GET YOUR VENGEANCE! The names eligible were: @Skinny @ivan1234 @Daleariel @Glaceon @Cristi @Xakim (X3) @Medusaluh @Pizza @Drj75 @Saint_Sally
