> EXPLANATION

Joker Showdowns are a relatively young custom game mode that adds a whole new mechanic to our beloved Colony. The games consist, just like normal 2v2s, of 2 teams with 2 players each. However, this time each player is assigned to a certain role: There is a Duelist, allied with a Joker Giver, fighting another Duelist, allied with yet another Joker Giver. It is a showdown between the Duelists, during which the Joker Givers may fire 3 missiles (= 3 Jokers) out of a Spec Ops.

After all three jokers have been used, the Joker Givers must destroy their Spec Ops. They are restricted to it and may not build anything else or deploy any units. The duelists themselves are allowed to go for anything. However, each missile shot prior to the destruction of their Joker Giver's Spec Ops, counts as a Joker.

Joker Showdowns take usually longer than regular 1v1 games. The tide of a Joker Showdown can easily be turned with a perfect missile. Joker Givers have to wait until they have enough Ressources to build the Spec Ops & use the Jokers.

The Duelists and Joker Givers are a team. It is the Team's decision of when to use one of their Jokers. The duelist is encouraged to use the all-chat function when ordering his Joker Giver to deploy a Joker. He can do this by typing in -j for instance. However, his Ally may fire at his own will as well - Joker Showdowns are wars between two teams.

Ultimately, Joker Showdowns are extended 1v1s between the duelists, with them having 3 jokers to spare each, which their allies - the joker givers - may fire at their own will as well. Therefore, communication & team work are key.

As the first two Colony Weekend Parties had been highly successful normal 2v2s, I have decided to revive this rarely played game mode in the upcoming, the third of its kind, CWP. However, organizing a Joker Showdown requires preperation, especially if it is going to be at the same time a recorded CWP. Which is what this thread would be for: Tell other players in here that you are up for Colony Joker Showdowns, and - if you are interested - join the player pool of the next Colony Weekend Party! It is going to be the first one to feature the Joker Showdown as its Game Mode.

Traditional joker games are is just a 1v1 between two people and each person's partner is the joker who goes missiles only, but may fire as many as she wishes.
