Fun Special attacks/abilities in the game?

I tried to get over myself, but I'm just too awesome!

Why aren’t there any special attacks/abilities in the game (either character or enemy attacks, preferably both)?

The following attacks/abilities for instance could make pwning a lot more interesting and less awfully tedious:

-Stun attacks

-Weaken attacks

-Confuse attacks

-Slow attacks

-Poison attacks

-Regenerate

-Extra strong attacks that damage yourself

-Shield (subtract from douchebaggery/sexiness/etc instead of ego for a while)

-Beserk (more damage, chance to miss, less defense)

-Etc.

Right?

I think there was a thread like this a while ago requesting that hackers get DOT attacks, not that it matters. I support any idea that would make the pwning process fun again.

Ask me about how many male reproductive organs in my bum :zak:

Then we’d all change to Pokemon because it’d be the same.

No, seriously, the idea is cool

Like that. Log in to see images!

Something like a chance that the thread attacks itself instead of you, or itself and you.

Level 32 Camwhore

“Courte-chan”

That would be an excellent idea.

For example, for a stun attack, maybe a camwhore could post her exposed breasts (censored during gameplay, of course), and the posters on the thread would not be able to do anything for a turn, since they would be too smitten to think of an angry reply.

Another possibilty would be to expand on Ophelia’s Bad Poetry, and make it’s attack posts so incredibly long, that it would make the angry posters fall asleep for a few turns, out of sheer boredom (or you could make poetry sleep attacks an Emo exclusive ability).

For Trolls, maybe a goatse attack (again, censored, for the sake of what’s left of everyone’s sanity) could deteriorate the ego of a thread over a few turns.

For Permanoobs, they could post something extremely stupid (even by their standards), causing the posters to become confused, giving them a 50/50 chance of either attacking you, or attacking themselves.

For Hackers, give them an auto bot that allows them to post multiple times (in a sort of Haste-like state) before the thread can counter-attack.

I also like BlankTH’s idea:

These are some possibilities of special attacks, but if attacks like these are implemented into the game, I think the threads would have to be a bit stronger, to balance everything out.

This could actually make the clbumes different to play Log in to see images!

I'm your ****leberry.

This would be interesting if it was incorporated into new .moar files. Perhaps for different .moars, you can have a different effect chance added to your attack. The harder the file to put together, the more likely the status effect will hit.

Dogreat timesent = Confuse (lowers forum offense making their attacks do less damage)

Music = Daze/Deafen (raises user offense)

Picture = Blind/Distract (increases chance of missed attacks by forums – which I guess would be a boost to user defense)

Program = Crash (should be rare – gives a chance of a critical hit which results in an insta-killed thread)

Video = Insanity (should be the rarest effect – the posters go insane from what they saw and start damaging the thread in addition to you in the process with each post)

Forums should get such too.

Change avatar to embarrasing:Ego decrease every turn for x turns.

Change sig to embarrbuming:Lower your offense temporarily.

I like the idea of a forum attacking itself, since often people make posts that actually make them unintentionally look more stupid than the person they are insulting. Although since the game is satirical a lot of posts from enemy already are making fun of themselves more than you, so it could be kind of tricky to decide on something like this.

Good proposals, I like the slowing down or stunning best. A reverse fap against a forum would be cool, it could lower the offense

Hmm. Hacker move: phish

Phishes an enemy’s account and posts as them. Sometimes enemies attack the phished user for x turns.

That’d be fun.

I think the best way to handle status effects is as a new clbum, since clbumes need to be distinct in order to be worth having.

If effects are implemented, they should be related to .moar files and clbumes, to make each clbum and each .moar file category distinct.
