We’d have to avoid any mbum effect cards, though, such as the wall or male reproductive organshot. I like both, but the wall would need to be limited to one player. A block to all attacks would make players that get ahead quick completely immune. Dom cards are designed (I think) to equalize things and add strategy. male reproductive organshot, likewise, would remove a person’s ability to equalize and perhaps even enjoy the game. At best it should block for a few minutes, 60 or so. Therefore, as the round winds down, you might get called out, you don’t have to stick around as much, like Corion says. I don’t think FW should be so time oriented. Kind of unfair to certainly geographies of the world. It’s big of me to say this as I have tons of time and am on 24/7.

Love some of the other ideas though. Especially if we start leveling them… then domination is almost like an active forum pwning. Sending attacks and what not. Much more interactive.

from what I understand;

walls don’t stack, so if you use 2 bumholes, they will still get hit for 10 scoops, unless they happen to be online at the same time to put up another wall

and for male reproductive organshot, just cause one person cant use their cards, doesn’t mean someone else wont, and unless you really **** of a person to keep dsing you every 24hrs you will still get some cards used

plus some other ideas

**shake and bake**

takes the total amount of scoops a person has, then randomly distributes it back as different scoops

ie, I got 20 vanillas, then I use the card and end up with 3A 0C 7L 8P 2V

or if used as an atk, it can bake/destroy a card or scoop

**miss fire**

when used, acts like a shotgun but doest effect the target until roll over

**spray and pray**

destroys 1 scoop from 4 random targets

**firewall**

blocks target from getting specific type of scoops for 24hrs

FYAD CARD – ****S YOU; YOU DIE

How about a “The Lottery” card? Every player is stripped of one or two random scoops. One player, selected at random, will

be stoned to death.

Points for getting it.

Edit: Seriously, one of these played in the last 30 minutes would be game breaking. Limitation should be strong.

I think you’re right about the limitation towards the end of the round, but not for the reason you’re thinking of. I think the limit should exist to give the new winner a chance to react.

How is the last minute Lottery winnings any different from having one person letting loose a bunch of bumhole cards in the last couple of minutes? Why would the bumhole card exist otherwise? It has its name for a reason. It also has strict limitations. You can’t use it if you’re in second place without totally giving up any chance you had. You use it when you’re not even in the running, to go out in a blaze of glory. It’s a card to inspire people to stone one person to death…

The Lottery would be no different in inspiring resentment if it was done at the last moment, except for instead of trying to bring down the leader, it’s designed to bring one person up.

Any limit on playing it towards the end of the round would be there to give people time to react to the new balance of power, so maybe it isn’t a bad idea.

Maybe no Lottery cards played in the last 4 hours of play?

Another limitation would be that a lottery card only takes scoops away from people with 4 or more in play. No sense in taking the last scoop from some poor schmuck. However, I think it should still reward the scoops randomly, even if the winning player doesn’t have any scoops taken away.

No points for anyone, I thought this was required reading everywhere. They even made a TV movie about it.

The Lottery by Shirley Jackson

Just re-read it a couple of days ago. Awesome story… one of the short stories that really got me into reading modern literature.

The Friendly Gesture: Give 2 Random scoops to a player of your choice.

Absolutely not.

Concerning a new card…

The male reproductive organblock: Stop a player from getting the next 4 scoops they normally would.

The Last-Ditch Effort: Gain 4 scoops, flavas determined randomly. May only be played on the last day, and only if you are tied with someone else for most scoops.

The Waffle Cone: Lose all scoops and gain three-quarters as many(rounded down) in any one flava.

The Protective Bubble: Prevent the next card targeting you from working. Effect wears off after 24 hours if no cards are played on you.

The Explosive Round: A variant of the Shotgun, destroy 4 random scoops of any one opponent and 2 random scoops of your own.

Evil Trout: do you guys think that if I added new cards in a day or two it would ruin the game? should cards only be added on a new round?

Evil Trout: The new cards will be “shield” cards. Protect you from bumhole, etc.

‘The Wall’ – Cancels the effect of the next card played on you by another player. Note: Only one ‘The Wall’ may be active at any one time. If you play a second ‘The Wall’ while the first is still active, it’s effects are lost. You can play a new ‘The Wall’ card immediately after the first has triggered and is no longer active. (You‘ve got a solid lead of about 40 scoops, but you just used Peeping Tom to find out that the guy with 3 scoops is packing 5 bumholes. Luckily for you, you‘ve got a couple of The Walls, so if you stay alert and pay attention during the endgame, you may just be able to keep your scoops and win the round.)

Evil, I would like an E-Peen if you’re using my idea…. Log in to see images!
