Suggestion: Kill-free round

Post by **Ruddertail** » Thu May 19, 2005 9:05 pm

I think it would be fun to have one round of BFR that is compleatly kill free. Code could be implemented saying that if "Targets land is > or = 1,000, say "Cannot attack targets under 1,000 acres!" (Note, nobody try to use that as code. All it'll give you is a big error message. I can't code, at least not anything like this...)

But anyway, this way people would be force to take strong people down and deal with enemies without killing them. I'd say a good protion of the kills in this game are because people are trying to take down someone stronger then them, but don't know how except by killing. This would foce people to learn. In addition, some experienced player could post a quick guide to how to bring down a top-five player without killing them. I'd do it, but don't have more then a vauge idea of how myself.

With getting experience fighting and breaking stronger players without killing, people would hopfully be less likly to have to kill when kills are allowed again, since they can acomplish the same goals, bringing down an emp or defeating an enemy, without killing. This would then reduce kills, and make the game experience more pleasant for everyone, bar kill mongers, and who really wants to make the game more pleasant for them, anyway?

Great idea... one proviso: can we call the round the Happy Pony Round?

If you don't like it, say so. You needn't be sarcastic.

I swear, I like the idea. I think that the round name would be hilarious though.

Ah, I see. I thought you were just being sarcastic about it. Sure, Call it the Happy Pony Round. I like the name. I might even get my sister to play with a name like that... :*laughs*:

Well it might drive some players away...

Why? It'd just be for one round. Besides, I think more players would leave due to an over abundance of kills then would leave because of a lack of them.

How about a server that is either just for netting or that doesn't allow killing...

No, as this idea is not to have a permenent no killing server, it's to help teach people how to get by without killing, and force them to see there's a way to get by without killing.

Exactly. A non killing server would be good for that.

But people might not necessarilly play a non-killing server. Also, like I said, this isn't supposed to be a long running thing, just a temperary one round thing. It's just as easy to change a little bit of code as it is to create a second server. People might not play this, thinking "Oh, I'd never be able to do that." Whereas with BFR, it's either stick with CoG only the whole month, or get by with not killing.

So, Beatles, do you think next month would be a good time to run this?

Oh, ah. I rather think it should be in two months, in July, just so I have time to work on it.
