"One Liner's" Tournament
Posted: Fri Feb 29, 2008 1:06 am
Very simple idea for a tournament... 1v1, each entrant pick a famous "one liner" from a movie, song, TV show whatever... The rule of the tournament is you have remember to deliver the line in chat window on the penultimate turn before you wipe out your oponent. Games would, of course, be freestyle.
So for example, I enter and pick a famous line from Terminator "Sara Conner?" (yeah, I know, you were thinking of something else but we'll leave that for the actual tournament) I get to where I can just about finish off my oponent, but I have to stop my turn. Say the line, then take my next run and finish them off. If I don't say the line, no tourney points. If I say the line and then can't finish off the other side, then maybe some bogey loss of tournament points. To add some level of uncertainty, games would all be played with cards (i'm thinking flat rate - more uncertainty?)
Of course the tournament organizers would need to inspect every game log and parse how the game ended. I'd need some extra hands for this one, but it could be pretty cool. Didn't you always want to say "Go ahead, make my day..." then blow away someone? You know it's true... Come on, I know at least 3 great one-liners popped into your head while you were reading this
