Messageboard Games

Seems people like them. Seems people play them. Seems i\'ve been trying to come up with rules for a CMoN Deathmatch. It\'d go, something like this;

You get one point of starting health for every post you have (at the start of the game). One round would consist of 10 people posting turns. You can only post once per round (to prevent the first person who comes to the topic from killing everyone). So, you have to wait for 9 other people to post turns before you can post another turn.
In one turn any given player can 1) You get 1 point of damage for every 10 posts you have [rounded up] (spread however you want), and 2) You get 1 heal point for every 250 posts you have[rounded up] (again, spread however you want, but can\'t use it on yourself).

So, let\'s say it\'s my turn... let\'s say i have 743 posts. i get to cause 75 points of damage and then can heal 3 points. i could cause 20 points of damage to SV, 30 points of damage to Dauber (cause i know those two are in cahoots ;)lol) and then 25 more points of damage to Finn (\'cause he\'s the titan of the gamelol) and then heal DR 3 points, \'cause he helps me with my minis.

Then when it\'s down to the final 15 or so, make it a free for all (2 turn round instead of 10 turn rounds).

PS. You don\'t need to rationalize your damage and healing, just say who it\'s going to... but you can spell it out if you want.

*THIS IS NOT THE GAME... yet. JUST TRYING TO GET THE RULES FIGURED OUT*

Hmmm, finn has 700 attack points, and you just attacked him. lol How many points does it take to get killed?

Finn would rape us all...

How about we all meet somewhere and just beat the hell out of eachother? That might be fun...

No, it\'s just an example. See, you\'d need to make alliances with your buddy list to take down the mega titans. Plus he\'s a huge target... i\'d guess he\'d be down before round 3.

You\'d die when your life runs down to zero (this aint no D&D we\'re playing).

Or we could just have everyone start off with 30 life and every turn you get 5 points to hurt people and 1 point to heal somebody. i just thought the post count way would mix it up a bit... make people think more ;)

Just an idea... don\'t know how it\'s play out, or what will need fixing, untill you try. Anybody want to put their name on the CMoN Deathmatch list?

***EDIT***
Or we could put a cap on a player\'s post... say 3000? So Finn would only get 3000 HPs, not 7,849,328,434,039,404,924,494,890,320 HPs. And also only 300 damage points, and only 12 healing points
Sound fair???

Or, you could gang up with a bunch of lower life forms (ie; us non-freaks) and kick out the 1000+ posters.

What\'s a lion do when an ant bites him? The only thing he can do... nothing.

Just saying...

Oh, and i think it\'d be better to make your alliances in private. Not too sneaky when you post it in the actual game thread:rolleyes:

Wouldn\'t it be easier to just play a message board game of D&D or something? Stretch out our creative minds by doing some joint story writing?

PM\'s for character specific information.
Forum for general information.
 
Nothing trumps the Movie Studio Draft I run on my Hockey Boards. Hell we even managed to get our own board for the thing.

And yes, we are all accepting of how nerdy the damned thing is. :D

@Drake Farstrider: 143 remember to round up ;)


Well, if we did play and all these lower powered players hooked up with all the higher power players then you\'d just be setting yourself up for a fall. Let\'s assume your alliance worked out... now it\'s just you vs a bunch of much higher players. But that\'s part of the fun, all the sneaking around and plotting and watching the game play out.
i know a similiar game will work (same game, just not the post count style) because i\'ve played it MANY times over on another board. Normally a smaller, more secretive alliance would win, with the larger, more vocal groups gunning for eachother and the smaller groups and solo players coming in late to play clean up.
