Blair Witch Project Map [Idea]

[wrestler1ump]

We should make a map of the forests outside Blair ala Blair Witch Project style. Here are some ideas:
*Maybe it could be a map where the only option is to use fog of war.
*There could be a witch lurking around the woods, the deeper you go in the more likely the witch is to attack you. If you land on the territory that the witch inhabits for that turn, you lose a shitload of armies.
*If you move South, you somehow find some of your armies migrating back into the same place
*A bigtime bonus for anyone who finds their way out of the forest.
*Certain safe zones that the witch will not inhabit

Let me know what other ideas you guys have.

Problems with this:
- Copyright, you can't make any mention of Blair Witch unless you've gotten permission to do so from the copyright holders
- The XML can't do half the things you're suggesting
- Knowing "out of the forest" would be a one-time easter egg that people would know from then on, making people who don't know prey to abuse

As far as im aware the blair white project is based on a true story so there may be ways around copywrite, but im not sure.

The events portrayed in the Blair Witch Project were fictional, but based on a legend. It might be possible to obtain their permission. Their idea would help make our site stronger, and our map would help advertise for the film.

Maybe we could make the out of the forest bonus smaller, maybe 1 army bonus for reaching the outskirts. There are many onetime easter eggs that people know how to expose- it just depends how we make the map how accessible that bonus would be.

Maybe we could just call it "Blair" or "Burkitsville", the current name of the town. That might get us around copyright.

you would just learn the map (learn the way out of the forest) so it would be completely open to abuse...
