born out of the whippits discussion in the frugality thread by steve perry, seerow, et al…

how about the ability to use buff items between forums?like whippits add a small defence bonus for 3 turns like they do now but you can pop one in the forum list. in combat/out of combat items sort of thing.

Seconded, and perhaps in addition to out-of-combat items have out-of-combat skills as well from healing to buffs or debuffs of threads.

also, how about damage types? “lololololol ur gay” is going to be pretty much “yeah and?” on gay pride dot com or whatever. maybe this can be the troll’s gimmick? like… emo kids and camwhores make their attacks up and people react to them, but trolls wait for an exploitable post and then THEY do the reacting for mbumive damage

augh someone with more of a brain translate this into english for trout please =_(\

I like this idea a lot, actually. It makes sense that different attacks would be more damaging in certain forums: for instance, a Camwhore’s titty shot wouldn’t exactly make much of an impact in Bruce Bear’s personal forums, but would probably cause an uproar in the KKK. Instead of making it exceptionally complex with 25.36% resistant vs X attack, just have perhaps four levels of resistance- Immune, Resistant, Standard and Vulnerable- that can be either hidden or displayed.

Damage types may include:

- Sex: most camwhore attacks would probably be of this damage, though a troll’s insult on your sexuality or your mother’s sexuality may fall in this category as well. Camwhores will be resistant to these attacks, while trolls are likely to be vulnerable.

– lollerskate: damage from very special n00biness. Most of a Re-Re’s attacks would be lollerskate, while a camwhore’s “hay guyz” attack or a troll’s monosyllablic quote pyramid would also deal lollerskate damage. Emo kids will be vulnerable to lollerskate damage because of their pretension, while trolls are resistant.

– Emo: as the name implies. Camwhores can deal both emo and lollerskate damage through their mindless rants on their hair, like, yeah, and she was, like, totally very special, y’know? Camwhores are vulnerable to emo while emo kids are resistant.

– Flame: all clbumes can flame, but trolls would probably be the master of this damage type. Most threads will probably not be resistant to flaming.

The general idea is that everyone will have different attacks, each of which will deal different damage types. This also adds a fair amount of variety into the attacks at higher levels, instead of them just simply being more damage for more tears/douchebaggery/sexiness.
