WHY DONT YOU NERF THE WHOLE WORLD

possibly, we just don’t know for certain. it’s possible that in perfect play, white always wins. checkers we know ends in a draw during perfect play. every single game combination has been mapped out. there is always an answer that can save either side from defeat, leading to a draw… bumuming you play perfectly from the start.

Higher Level Mechanics (Ideas)

To make it more interesting, why not have various combos, in that a specific order of attacks will have some extra special effect… maybe extra damage, maybe buffing your defense/weakening their attack, manipulating your respect or the current balance of power… a really good one might be increasing your charisma for the forum, so that you get better rewards. Extra “flare” for the internet, so to speak.

The best combos would be cross clbum, making them difficult to get. All the combos would have risk/rewards… a combo might make use of one of the large refresh moves, for example, and you’d want to save it for the right moment. Another combo might hurt you but carry the damage over multiple threads… etc etc etc.

New/Hybrid Clbumes?

itt we are john titor

even if titor wasn’t a time traveler, and even if he’s a fictional character, why would that make him any less real? if we can talk about him, doesn’t that impose at least a modigreat times of reality on him? just like in evangelion, people exist in the minds of others. it’s so deep.

*sigh*

i’m not ****ing anyone. that’s the problem.

i mean that in more than one way. i’m a nobody, and i don’t have a girl. i’m not gay or even bi though. i don’t mind those that are. just i’m not. except that while i can define myself as what i’m not, i can’t find who i -am-. i can’t even say i’m asexual, because i want sex. i’m not sure if i’m straight. i just know i’m not not straight. i just don’t have any.

sarah…

why must you torment me so?

if i got hit by the schoolbus, maybe she’d notice me.

Higher Level Mechanics (Ideas)

More ideas, building off of other’s suggestions that have come before.

Posting Speed

——————-

This isn’t my idea. I just want to put it down here for reference, because I think it’s a great idea and leads into some other concepts. Basically, certain types of attacks take longer to type up than others, and allow forums to attack you more or less often. Forums likewise have “forum size” wherin larger forums have more members to flame you, simulating faster posting speed.

“Pets”

———

CJLJ’s pet idea is darn good, but I don’t think it goes far enough. Yeah, give Camwhores (and derivatives) a White Knight to take hits… maybe even give trolls sockpuppets for a similar role. But these would be abilities that give you free pets, not the only means of getting a pet. More generally, anyone should be able to manipulate others into behavior likely to cause a forum to fail, creating a pet out of the forum population. Put a limit on the number of pets… maybe make it tied to charisma, or part of an ability. An entire clbum might be based around them, much like a necromancer in Diablo II.

For resource management, in particular, to ensure that flezz is still constantly draining from players, you could manipulate them by sending gifts through the mail, much like you recieve gifts yourself…

Pet -management- should then be key, which is where speed comes into play. There would be abilities to shift blame, to draw attention to a person or idea, abilities to sacrifice one pet in exhange for another. Each pet should have a different skill set, making it important to utilize them wisely. One kind of poster might be very kind, and be able to buff your ego (or the ego of another pet). Another might be charismatic, pulling in respect. Another might just be able to post really fast (but weakly, like a Re-Re), useful because you can wait for the perfect moment, pull him up, sacrifice him to the croud, and swap in your own attacks on his coattails for a good combo (although risky, because it’d bumociate you with the idiot).

Each pet, other than clbum ability pets like a White Knight, which would be special, should be pretty weak… probably falling after only two attacks, or even one attack in certain situations… in order to keep you on your toes. The puppet master should still be vulnerable at times.

Speed and pets combined make for interesting strategy, because you can plan ahead and make certain that others always take the blame, or help absorb “area of effect” attacks a forum might make on your whole posse.

cowboys are gay

there’s nothing wrong with that.

*sigh*

if sarah at lunch would just even look at me, maybe i wouldn’t need to continue my hunger strike. actually, since my family is so poor, i’ve been saving up the money they give me for lunch. when i’m dead, i won’t need the money, and i won’t have needed the food anyway.

do not **** up this thred u fabulous persons it is the best thred ever

why would you shoot a poor defenseless pumpkin? what if someone loved that pumpkin, and did everything they could to make that pumpkin grow and be big and mighty, and then instead of being a meal or a beautiful decoration, you shot it. that pumpkin could have fed the homeless or been sent to africa to feed starving children.

i weep. i cry.

all you klan ****s

its not like this does anything good for me. i’ll never be liked enough in my clan to be an officer anyway, and if i was, i’d probably just screw things up. i’m such a loser. i’m even still known as a newbie after several months on sa.
