      IRC Nickname: His Lordship Group: Founder Posts: 6029 Member No.: 1 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 129    | This was a rough idea that popped into my head. I was thinking about playing games with our post counts. Think Kings of Chaos or something. The aim is to dominate the post counts of these forums... The post count acts as points which you can spend. You have to try and reduce other peoples post counts to 0 while defending your own post counts from attack. Only willing members may take part in it, and these members will have a participation underbanner in their sig. A few types of moves and their prices: Attacks: Strike - You pay 2 posts to take 3 posts off another member Twin Strike - You pay 5 posts to take 3 posts off two different people Theft - You pay 5 posts to GAIN 4 posts from another member Robin Hood - You pay 3 posts to transfer 5 posts from the highest poster to the lowest Gamble - Pay 6 posts and select a target. The target will lose 0-9 posts, chosen at ramdom. Spy - Pay 3 posts to view an opponents defenses Siege - Pay 3 posts to knock out a chosen enemy defense. Super defenses excluded. These attacks will be deflected if the enemy is defended, and you lose the posts you paid. Super Attacks: Topic Shock - Pay 20 posts. Every poster in a chosen topic loses 1 post per post made. (HoR excluded) Super Theft - Pay 50 posts to GAIN 40 from another player Super Siege - Pay 30 posts to destroy one super defense. Mega Siege - Pay 50 posts to destroy all of an enemy's defenses. Kamikaze - You pay 600 posts to knock a member down to 0 posts Defenses Block - Pay 1 post to be protected from a single attack, but not super attacks. Lasts 3 days or until used, whichever comes first. Shield - Pay 2 posts to be protected from a single attack, but not super attacks. Lasts until used. Deflect - Pay 6 posts to send a single attack back at the attacker. Not super attacks. Super Defenses Fortify - Pay 20 posts to shield yourself from a single attack including super attacks. Lasts until used. Super Deflect - Pay 30 posts to send a super attack back at the attacker. Force Field - Pay 40 posts. Block all attacks including super attacks. Does not go away until sieged. More attacks and defenses may be added over time. These ones will start it off. If an attack is not popular, or too popular, prices may be adjusted. --------------------- Rules: 1. When you enter the game, you receive 10 posts 2. When you choose to leave, you must pay 10 posts 3. There are limits on attacks: 2 attacks and 1 super attack per day 4. Attacks cannot be saved. They must be used immediately at purchase time 5. There are limites on defense purchases: 3 defenses and 1 super defense per day 6. Any participating member can only be attacked up to 5 times a day. After this, you may not attack a member until the following day. 7. You may not attack members who are not participating. 8. Members cannot go into negative posts. 9. All purchases for defenses and attacks will be made in secret... there is a bluff component to this game... you may be able to make other members waste posts. 10. When you join, you are immune for 1 day so you may purchase defenses. You may not attack in this time either. 11. ALL ATTACKS ARE ANONYMOUS. ---------------------- How it will work: A level 3 sub-forum will be made and all participating members will have topics made for them in there. These topics will show all the defenses the player has purchased. When a member is spied on, the contents of this post will be copied and given to the attacking player. When an attack is sent, the appropriate defenses will be taken out. When there are no defenses, the post count will be removed. Mods and leaders will be given the ability to alter the post counts. Send a request to them, preferably live over the IRC or TS. Ask a mod if possible, because the leaders are busy. App managers may also edit posts. However Leaders, App Managers, and Mods cannot compete, and they cannot give away defenses for free. If you have a defense knocked out, you will be notified in the IRC, or if you are not present, forum PM. ---------------------- What's the point? 1. It will make visiting the forums more fun. 2. It will encourage posting since posts can be used as ammo. 3. It gives mods work. Mods don't do too much since WG does not abuse the forums or IRC often. Any comments? --------------------  | ||||

Ah but the people with low posts will be attacked less. Trust me it's fair for everyone. Plus with low posts, nobody would want to super attack you. -------------------- | ||||

 IRC Nickname: [JC] Group: Emeritus Posts: 3320 Member No.: 23 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 147 | I love the idea however I can see it causing problems. some people spend hours if not days working on their post count to remain in the top page/top post count.... There is a huge risk this will just mean that the top ten's post count will get targeted which wont be good  --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||||

I'd super attack him to spite you lordy  No, but if you are disliked, well... You are unlucky I like the concept, being a competitive person I am, but this can draw some harsh rivalries. -------------------- | ||||

It would be between those who have signed up for it. I don't think they should be able to target those not in the game.... But it does sound interesting. -------------------- | ||||

Hmm I suppose that is a good thing... But I just thought it would be cool somewhere to see like "And Papatewiki kamikazee's His_Lordship for 600 Points, reducing His_Lordship's Points to Zero!" Eh... -------------------- | ||||
