THE GREAT BRIBERY
THE GREAT BRIBERY
Overview
After finishing their team's regular Team Management Coaches enter the so called Great Bribery.
In this phase Coaches can invest their team's Treasury in several illegal activities in hope to gain a serious advantage when heading into the next matchday.
Coaches can bribe Star Players to play exclusively for their team or steal other team's players, corrupt league officials to change the league's ruleset, browse the Black Market for stolen magic objects or simply dangerous Loot, hire insane Goblin Cheaters or make a deal with the even more insane Warpstone Cultits. Or they can simply bet on upcoming league games.
SENDING BRIBES
After readying their team each Coach or their Representative sends a direct message to the league's designated league official (XXXL Leeg will run Bribebot in the league's Discord channel).
The message must consist a complete list of what the Coach wants to buy and what they are willed to pay. These offers are referred to as Bribes.
A Coach can send in any amount of Bribes as long as the sum of all Bribes can be covered by their team's Treasury.
When all Coaches sent their Bribes all offers of the first Bribery round will be revealed, offers for Players and Items compared and teams edited accordingly (add Players and Loot to the teams with the highest Bribe, adjust Team Biography, transfer spent Gold to the league's Petty Cash).
If two Coaches or more made the same offer for the same Player or Item a second Bribery round between these Coaches begins. Coaches participating in a second round can only add or withdraw from their Bribe. Repeat until a single top offer remains.
If no single top offer can be made both teams receive 1d6*10% of their Bribe back and the Player or Item will remain in the Free Agent or Black Market Pool.
If a Coach wins a Bribe he has to pay and can not withdraw from their offer. A Coach may add or use the bribed object to their or any other team in the league.
If a Coach fails or withdraws from a Bribe their team will receive 1d6*10% of their individual Bribes back, the rest of the Gold mysteriously reappears in the league's Petty Cash.

The Star Player can now use the team's Apoth in case of In-Game Injuries but can not gain additional Skills and will not keep SPP.

In these cases the Star Player returns with his Standard Prize to work as a Free Agent available for all other teams.
Coaches from other teams can try to steal the Star Player during Great Bribery phases. Please refer to the STEALING PLAYERS chapter.

Star Players in the Free Agent Pool that will not be induced during a matchday will miss out their payday and lower the Prize for their services by 10K.
Star Players that are high in demand will become aware of their status and ask for more money each time they get induced by 10K.
A Star Player's Costs can not go further down or up than 50K from the original Starting Prize.
A Star Player who got not hired for a whole season may retire from playing Blood Bowl.
