G.S.T. Combat Overview



G.S.T. History

    Founded nearly a year and a half ago, Grenades, Snarks, and Teleporters (G.S.T.) Combat has taken known space by storm. This revolutionary new blood sport involving no bloodshed is the child of Cheeseness and Doc two high ranking members of Valiant Systems.
G.S.T. Combat operates on a point based system giving rewards for damage inflicted. The existence of weapons such as The Finger Of Pain and The Nuclear Golfclub are central to the apeal of G.S.T. Combat. At the core of G.S.T. Combat is the PEV Suit. The PEV Suit allows G.S.T. combatants to give and recieve damage, kill, die and respawn without any actual damage being caused to the combatants. In theory, when a combatant takes damage, the PEV Suit absorbs all force, and records the damage taken. If the combatant is killed, the PEV Suit will teleport them to a nearby spawn point and reset their stats. This usage of the PEV Suit allows combat over longer periods of time with little or no hurt or pain inflicted. The G.S.T. Combat PEV Suit comes equiped with an E.D.I.C.T. Ammunition Recharge Unit. The E.D.I.C.T. charger constantly recharges weapon energy, making sure that no G.S.T. Combatant is without offensive power for any lengthy period of time, adding to the potential for extended battles on the arena. The PEV Suit is the only reason such a violent sport as G.S.T. is able to bypass the anti-violence acts that restrict games like Head-Hunter Baseball, Gonad Football, or Pin The Tail On The Donkey.
    Currently, G.S.T. officials are happy with the look and feel of the current version of the PEV Suit (affectionately known as Vomit), though plans are underway for new and better PEV Suit designs to be introduced into G.S.T. Combat.
    The other distinguishing feature of G.S.T. Combat is the frequent use of teleporters. Very early on in the G.S.T. development, it was decided (to avoid any embarassing or permanent combinations) that no two combatants could occupy the same space at once, and so telefragging was born. Telefragmentation is the process by which one combatant is vaporised to make way for another. Today, telefragmentation is a common form of making a kill, especially now that Snarks, Photon Torpedoes and Grappling Hooks can also cause telefragmentation.

Additional PEV Suit Indicators

    When in combat, the PEV Suit simlulates the actual conditions of battle using coloured flashes. For example, if a PEV Suit's display flashes red, it indicates that massive damage has been caused to the G.S.T. combatant.
    The following table lists the meanings of the PEV Suit Indicator Colours.

Indicator Colour PEV Suit Display Opponent PEV Suit
Red You Have Recieved Excessive Damage Opponent Recently Killed You
Green You Have Just Entered A Teleporter Opponent Has Just Exited A Teleporter
Blue You Have Been Paralysed Opponent Has Been Paralysed
