I was thinking about this too.

So far, the enemy has been given a lot of new and interesting attacks, and we’ve been given defensive equipment which breaks easily to address them.

The next logical step is for US to get a lot of new and interesting attacks, and have the enemy need to defend against THEM from time to time.

Things like “Sign up an illegal account” which distracts moderators and allows you to pwn two threads at once.

Or “DOS Attack” which makes the site more susceptible across the board, or attack you at a penalty.

Or “switch persona” which lets you play as a different clbum for a given forum, and some penalty (I’m thinking permanent removal of one upgrade point each time).

That sort of thing.

It’s been suggested before during the tuneup but there could be attack consumables, or as you said some way to change vulnerabilities. You could advertise the Forum which would heal and/or increase strength because of new users, but those users are weak against other attacks (since you chose another Forum from which you know their weakness) And thus you can more easily create a bumhurt chain and shut down the Forum. Then Mods could “cast” bans or site rules to switch them back.

That might be a bit more strategic given that the bonus you get for Changing a sites vulnerability by 15% may not be worth threads getting a bonus 15% health/attack/defense boost.
