View Full Version : Matthew Reilly's Contest-Forum game idea

My idea for this game is.

We have:

-7 contestants in a fight to the death. Last one alive wins.
-3 non-contestants in a fight to survive to end game. With the possibilty of escape earlier if certain conditions are met. Also the possibility of forming an alliance with a contestant to increase chances of survival. I am also toying with the idea of 2 extra non-contestants with a specific role(federal agents who would have to find the corpse of one contestant for proof of life on other planets and they would also have the ability to arrest the non-contestants and even though that means they would survive it wouldn't be counted as a win)
-1 super monster who's mission is to screw things up.


2 phases:

-Day Phase is designed for you to rest and hopefully recover hitpoints but if you want to forgo rest, you can choose the search option where you might find something that will help you during the night phase.
-The night phase is designed for you to find and attack another contestant, or if you are a non-contestant you can try to find a way out/find a contestant to ally yourself with.



Contestants will have more hitpoints than non-contestants(because they have been training for this contest) but because the non-contestants are native to the environment they know more about their surroundings and are able to use that to their advantage.



Players will also have a special ability unique to them and it may give them more hitpoints or the ability to deal out more damage and so on.


This will be played in a 6 floor building. You'd start somewhere randomly and be given varying levels of information about where you are depending on your character. The first phase would be a day phase and be soley for scouting out for extra equipment as none of you would be injured at that time.


Thoughts?

One thing I forgot, you can move onto a different floor during the day. You can only move one floor each day phase in safety. You can try to move more than one floor but risk stumbling across another players hiding place and the possibility of initiating a rare day fight. The more floors you move the higher the risk is. Also if you move more than one floor you lose the right to any recovery points when you stop but can still search your final destination(assuming you haven't accidently triggered a fight along the way).

I think it sounds cool and I would be willing to try it out.

Me me me..though I didn't read the rules. I ignore mjesque posts, so you either have to read them to me or sum it up in three lines. :p

Lol this will be fairly easy to follow, I'll send a pm to everyone at the start of each phase and they will choose whether they want to hide/move/search during the day and whether you want to attack any contestant that may be present on your current floor/try to escape or make an alliance if you are a non-contestant during the night.

The write-ups will tell you everything else you need to know. :p

Seeing as this is my thread, I would like to share that I am sick of tripping over my trouser legs!

What happens is one of my big toes gets caught inside the trouser leg and the effect is similar to what would happen if someone tied my shoelaces together! :o

Gotta go to bed now but I just thought I'd say I'll probably leave this open until next weekend and see if we get enough interest.

Of course if enough people sign up before then, it'd start sooner. :p

I now have some expected (but unwanted) free time and it'd be nice to get a few more sign-ups so I can start this and have something to occupy myself with during this aforementioned free time :p

You joined mainly for my promise of 63% more Wrestling Century didn't you? :p Anyway that's the minimum requirement met, so I'll give this another 30 hours for any interested latecomers and then start it!

So is this game going to begin tomorrow? I must say I'm looking forward to it. It will/I will rock.

Rabbitman

I'll give it around 24 hours to see if we cant get the last 4 spots filled.

Whether we can/can't it should start after then.

I'm looking forward to this to. :)
