I was speaking with -MYSTERY PEOPLE HERE- a couple weeks ago and I decided I should post this on the forum.
Game Idea: Chess
Game Location: Either in the fields of No Man's Land or in a humongous set room of the Marind Bell Wind Sanctuary.
Basic Info: You have 32 people play the game on a bit of map that is 64 peices big (65 if you want an entry room)
Player Arangement: 16mp4's would play and be pawns; each having the same characteristics of the pawns. 12 mp5's would play and be the knights, rooks, and bishops. Also 4 mp6's would play and be the King and Queens.
How to Play Basics: Each day (or each hour change or somthing; or even it may take 100 action points to do) you can make one move and fight the resulting battle (if one occurs). I think there should be some kind of an overhead veiw and a specific chat (like for alliances) that the king and queen can make a strategy for the lesser peices (ummmm... spies, anyone). If you lose the battle your peice is destroyed, if you win you get the spot you attacked. Also your king and queen have the ability to heal you each time you win the fight, if they so choose.
Prizes: Yes, of course there should be very nice prizes for ALL the players that are on the winning team, not just the players that are alive at the end. Prizes as follows: VE: +5,000 ; VP: +10,000 ; Trophy ; Attack: +200 ; Def: +100 ; Briskness: +50 ; Luck: +50 ; Regeneration: +50.
Qualifications: I think we should have applications and tryouts for king & queen (seperate contests for black and white) and then have the qualifications set by the team captains, no choice for the team members should be interfered by rules.
Stuff: I don't think there should be an path leading into the contest, as this may result in other players being mean. Or you would just have to set up a hole complicated thing just for the confusing way the game is played.
DISCLAMER: Of course this game will be unfair to the less experienced players, this is why no mp3's would play. The mp4's will die right away, as pawns usually do. And the battle would end up coming out to mp5 skill/mp6 spell ability and, amazingly enough, strategy...
So, what do you guys think?
