Russian Roulette



I've posted this idea in the Map Ideas thread, but I wanted to get a better idea of peoples opinions since that thread seems to get mostly ignored.

The Idea
- 6 territory map.
- High risk, just like Russian Roulette.
- Ideally suite for 6 player, but 3 player could work as well.

I think it would make for an interesting new game type. Strategy and timing would be key, but luck is going to play a major role just like the real thing. I think escalating cards would make it even more interesting.

So, this has the potential to be the worst idea ever, but lets have your vote and comments anyway.

i see 5 people have voted but only 2 posted (including me). why do people do that???

a yes or a no is not enough. share your thoughts people.


now to be on topic.
it sounds nice but i voted no. here's why:
1. very dependent of luck. most experienced players won't play it because there's no strategy.
2. can't be played sequential because the last player will never win. unless he's really really lucky.
3. there is absolutely no fun because there's no strategy. basically you just hit auto attack and cross your fingers. in round 1 game over.
this is why i voted no.

My main worry would be potential for Multi's to cheat really easily with it...

If a game last 5 minutes then they could rack up a hell of a lot of points well quickly...

Games on this map should be limited to RT and Freestyle - that way everyone has a chance!!

Would you make every territory attack all of them?

C.

so basically the winner is whoever happens to get good dice on their first attack, whoever scores the 5th and 6th starting positions automatically loses because they won't be around to see a turn, and there won't be enough turns for anybody t collect a card. Or you could see a game where everybody just places and doesn't attack, and whoever strikes first and wipes out half their stack loses.

I think everybody would play this once out of curiosity, get screwed, and never play it again.

This is what would happen

Round 1

A placed 3 units on barrel 1
B placed 3 units on barrel 2
C placed 3 units on barrel 3
D placed 3 units on barrel 4
E placed 3 units on barrel 5
F placed 3 units on barrel 6

Round 20

A placed 3 units on barrel 1
B placed 3 units on barrel 2
C placed 3 units on barrel 3
D placed 3 units on barrel 4
E placed 3 units on barrel 5
F placed 3 units on barrel 6
F conquered barrel 1
A was eliminated

Each person would have 60 on each
Except F who would have a lot less

Round 21

B placed 3 units on barrel 2
C placed 3 units on barrel 3
D placed 3 units on barrel 4
E placed 3 units on barrel 5
F placed 3 units on barrel 6
E conquered barrel 6
E conquered barrel 1
F has been eliminated

Basically whoever makes the first move will lose unless they are very lucky

I realised all the potential problems with the map, thus why I said it'd probably be the worst idea ever.

I thought it had potential though, thus the poll. Not to worry.

I still think it has potential just maybe make it so its a double barrel gun so each person starts with 2 places therefore it could work

then it's not russian rullete

I think that you dont have support for these, but who know, maybe something will change with vote in next 2-3 days

He's already abandoned it really qwert.
