I don’t dom much, but I love these ideas, but I’m pretty sure it would be REALLY hard to get every single forum pwned though, if not impossible.

Other ideas I might as well contribute, pretty much based on the same concept, getting double (or triple, don’t know if it would get unbalanced that way) of the scoop from a certain action, could be streaking (can’t think of a name besides Streakers), speed running , gambling (High Rollers), maybe even INCIT later (Lol)

Can’t think of a name for em all, cause I’m lazy, but there ya go.

Just realized that that is close to getting double scoops from a certain flavor, since most of them are mainly one, BUT I TRIED OKAY!?

Cracker Jacks: Really neat.

Mirror, Mirror: Kind of the same, but also neat.

Darwin Week: Not a fan. It will pretty much be a week of pure reward for those with high forumbuildr scores.

Down with Whitey: Fun. Might make people reconsider their speed builds and trying out INCIT.

I’m an bumhole: Oh my. It *sounds* just lovely, but would pretty much just be a rehash of the Gambit situation where everyone bought bumholes and the boards were constantly empty. In this situation the winners are simply going to be those who can do their last minute pistachio/vanilla without interference. It’s interesting to see it happen once, but themes where it doesn’t matter whether or not you play all week are just kind of boring.

Inflation’s a ****: Interesting.

Fire Sale: Really interesting.

Roid Rage: Similar to Gambit and I’m an bumhole. All destruction sounds like a lot of fun, but when that is all there is, some of the thrill gets lost in the lack of strategy.

There’s no going back: This sounds hella fun! Log in to see images!

Use ‘m or lose ‘m: Fun!

Death and taxes: Sounds interesting, might encourage the whole “only play on the final day” thing once a player has their 30 cards. I don’t see why we couldn’t try it out though.

King Unmaker: This is a mean, mean, mean idea. Funny and strategic. I like it.

Raiders of the Lost forums. Unless raiding sees a major resurgence, this would impact such a tiny portion of the users that it would be pointless. Even the experienced raiders would sit this week out because interruption would be insanely easier.

Why can’t we be friends: Funny as hell.

Mbumive mutiny: This wouldn’t encourage friendly rivalry as it suggests, everyone would just focus on pure Modests knowing that they were basically safe from attack.

The End is Near: I think this would be awesome. It seriously sucks for some of the players that Dom ends at 3 AM or whatever. Some are ultra dedicated and set alarms or stay up, but it would be really nice if they had a break every now and then. Personally, I’d still like to see Domination go to a weekly rotation where it ended 1 PM EST one week, 9 PM EST one week, and 5 AM EST the third. That way anyone who wanted to play would be able to do so without a huge schedule sacrifice at least once every 3 weeks.

Nice catch. All my normally solo klanned alts should not be in a bracket by themselves. Log in to see images!

I like the idea of in klan rivalry, but frankly from an experience standpoint, it would likely result in advance negotiations for medals and a lot of other players flezz/cred grinding the week.

On the opposite side of the fence, I can’t help wish there was some sort of klan vs klan idea where klans as a whole could earn medals or peens for the klan. I keep trying to come up with something that wouldn’t require a huge restructuring of the brackets or that wouldn’t be radically out of balance when comparing large and small klans. The large and small could be overcome by totaling klan scoops and dividing by the number of klan members, I’m just not coming up with anything for simple bracket structure or sorting.

We should have one named Lemon Party. With this theme, everyone who earns 1 lemon scoop should get a threesome of them instead.

This theme would really **** off people who rely on other scoop types to earn their trophies, that’s why it’s good.

We should have a theme called Tubgirl. With this theme, everyone who earns 1 chocolate scoop should get ten of them instead.

(please do not actually do this though)

2 Cards 1 Scoop

I haven’t worked out the details on how I want it to go, but it’s something like this:

Each time you purchase a card, either you get 2 of the same card, or your options are reduced from 3 choices to 2. I don’t know which one works better, but the other half of the theme is that either you can only get 1 scoop per flava no matter what happens (regardless of forum pwning speed or 4 concurrent forums pwned) or you only get it in 1 flava (Such as chocolate to keep with the theme’s parody or just some non lemon flava since we did only lemon already)

So yeah, I have vague ideas of what but I don’t know if any certain combination would be gamebreaking or something.

Rough Justice: bumhole, shotgun, thief have their values doubled

Roulette: You can no longer target players with cards, the effects occur randomly, even with positive effects.

7 Card Stud: All players begin with 7 cards, two of which are hidden. Cards cannot be purchased.

Attrition: Every card played effects everyone in the bracket.

Midnight Leech: At rollover, all players lose 3 scoops randomly.

Brinkmanship: The card cap is removed and the cost is cut in half.

Naked in the Breeze: All cards are visible to every player.

Ice Cream Social: Players are allowed to give their scoops away.

Countdown: Scoops earned in the last 24 hours of the round don’t count

My ideas are getting a little bizarre so I’ll stop there.

bumhole actually used to remove 10. My concern with this, is that it’ll strongly encourage people to hammer each other and the brackets will end up being pretty barren, I think. But I’m open to discussion.

Hmm… How about this completely different variation: it can be called TOTAL WAR or Gattling Gun Mode Where Players recieve like 20 scoops of each kind at rollover and the cards do double damage. Once again, I’m not sure about the programming of all this, so I’m just going on pure dreams. I guess I’m just thinking regular domination on a comically large scale.

I think this would be a programming nightmare, plus it would be sheer chaos.

Yeah, not down with programming savvy. I for one though, think total chaos is lulz.

I don’t like the “hidden” cards, again, harder to program. 7 Seems a little low. I’m thinking you could start with 15 random cards every day (with a card limit of 15), if you don’t use em, they are gone the next day. You cannot purchase cards. Thoughts?

I unno, I think that cards that even you can’t see are pretty groovy, but I guess it won’t mean much since cards don’t really have a chance to harm you. I like the idea of 15 cards disappearing at rollover though. Combines with one of Ops idea. Also, Wouldn’t it be a nice twist to have cards backfire some of the time?

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

I think this could be interesting, but 3 is too low… I’m thinking it could be EITHER 16 scoops or 4 cards, again at random. Or both? Thoughts?

what about a percentage, which also ties into one of OP’s ideas. Like maybe 20% of cards and scoops disappear at rollover? I suppose there needs to be a random element. Maybe you lose half your cards or all your cards or 20% of random flavors or half of one flavor.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

This would be like the Domination of old with people having over 100 cards.. and no scoops to use them on. I’m thinking no. In Gambit we had a card limit with cards costing 1 and all the brackets were empty.

yeah… bad idea. Maybe there can be another victory qualification for cards used? Or the theme is use the most cards, with the cap the same but cards cost different amounts of scoops on different days, like 2 – 8 scoops randomly.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

Might be a programming headache and would nullify the use of The Peeping Tom. I’m not sold.

Agreed. not twisty enough.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

This is actually a card idea (Scoop Giv’r) and there is a large potential to be exploited by alts and klannies. Might be worth trying in a theme week though.

I like the idea as a card, but I like it better as a theme because it’d be freaking awesome to watch all the backdoor deals and bickering, begging and alliance shifting. This also goes with my idea that you should be able to give flezz away. This would be illegal between alts of course. Plus I really like the name Ice Cream Social.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

Might as well do something more interesting like “Domination ends at a random time on Wednesday”. This way people can keep playing but it’s like Hot Potato.. in fact that’s what I’d call it Actually Hot Potato would be that it ends randomly and the person in the lead doesn’t win. That’s kinda interesting too

Hmmm… How about Domination rounds go through “ghost hours” where scoops earned don’t count and cards played fail and you have know way of knowing until you earn a scoop or play are card and you are notified that a ghost has stolen your scoop/card. Ghost hours would be either 45, 60 or 90 minutes so you’d have to take your chances when deciding when to play next. I suppose there would have to be a set number of ghost hours in a given round so that players can keep track. I like how that’s a completely different idea. We can call it Midnight in the Spooky Garden. I do like the idea though of Domination ending at a random time though lol.

I’m really digging the spooky garden theme, but It seems like that’d also be mbumive programming damage.

Bizzaro Week – Shotguns, Thieves, Destroyers add scoops instead of removing them. bumholes destroy 10 scoops and can be used on anyone in the lead for a medal rather than total scoop leaders only.

Srsly Guys. I’m pushing the Spooky Garden.
