So wait... Godmod cards are basically spell cards or something? Sorry, I'm tired. |

This okay with everyone? Any complaints? I'll build some mock decks tomorrow, for testing purposes, and mock duel to ensure it's a nicely turned out system. Provided there are no complaints. *Sneaks off to revise. |

After discussion with Drekal, I came up with a few ideas that I think he likes, and I'll post them here so he doesn't have to double post: Rather than life points, each player would start at a ranking of 100. This would mirror both the postcount ranking of individual members of the forum, and the ranking of the comic on TWC. The goal would be to work yourself up to rank 1, at which point you would win the game. Changes to the standard damage system would be a simple reversal: When you would damage an opponent, you would instead raise your own ranking. When you would gain life points, you would instead lower your opponents ranking. edit: This would make the OverDrive system much more viable. Addition of an upkeep phase just after draw. Postcount region with a certain maximum size. Discarded post cards (and ONLY post cards, see Drekal's rule; they work a little like creature enchantments) would go here. During your upkeep phase, you can remove one card from this area to add two insanity to your insanity pool. There would be an 'Accidental Doublepost' card that would give you the ability to discard TWO posts from here in exchange for four insanity. When your Postcount region is filled, you win the game. Cards in the postcount region could be targeted to be removed from the game. The addition of phasing and cycling cards to the game. Phasing cards are creatures that are flipped over during the controlling players upkeep. When they are face-down they cannot be affected (except possibly by cards designed to do so), but when they are face up they are treated normally. Cycling cards are ones with a certain cycling cost, allowing you to discard them from your hand and draw another one from your deck. Cards discarded in this manner are removed from the game. The addition of a second signature-deck to the game. Players would get a signature for free at the beginning of the game, and could discard their current signature to play a new one during the course of the game for a certain cost. Signatures would have some effect while they were in play. They would have spirit costs, but not sanity/insanity. Mod/admin avatars might come with a heavy-cost 'Modsmack' ability, allowing them to destroy their opponent's signature. Obviously destroying an opponent's avatar would be unbalancing to the game... |

I'm not sure I read that right. player a and player b both have a ranking of 50 player a would normally gain 2 life , but instead player b ends up being at 52? I would think that player a would end up at 48 if they would normally gain life. |

Nah. Because the goal is 1. When you give yourself life in a standard system, you're not putting yourself closer to winning, you're increasing the difficulty of your opponent to win. It's a fine distinction, but a crucial one. |

ahh, okay. so things which would normally deal direct damage would make your number go down. |

Exactly. It's precisely reversed. Your rank is your opponent's life, and your opponent's rank is your life. It's the same thing, just altered to fit in with the theme of the game; I explain why I came up with it in my original post. edit: it's kinda funny how a standard "Fireball"-type direct damage card would improve your ranking and not actually hurt your opponent, but fits the forum.

And, of course, when dealing with multiple opponents, having the highest rank is oh so much fun! |

Heheh, yeah, multiple opponets makes the 'complete reversal' explaination not quite work. Ironically larger games would go faster... There also ought to be effects that you can only use if you've got the highest/lowest rank... |

Well, cards that would decrease an opponents rank would use the term "Target opponent" or "Opponents" to determine which was hit by it. Meaning either one selected opponent, or all of them respectively. |

Heh... I think I'd need to watch/play a few games before the rules completely register in my brain. Two things though: Why exactly 50 cards? and What about upgradeable avatars? |

Gah! Can't stay long, so I'll make this quick. I made a card editor yesterday. The GUI isn't as nice as the Magic editor, but it does a rather neat job of fitting effect text into the space. Seriously, you need to write about 3 paragraphs to fill it. Also, you can alter the background colour of the card, add stats, the name, etc. That all works good. The picture editor, on the other hand, is a little bigger than the magic set one. In fact, the cards in general are about 50 by 50 pixels bigger. At least. Anyway, I still have to write the thing that allows it to stretch/move the image around so it fits in the picture frame the way you wish. It can paste images in, or load them from a file just fine, but the pictures can come out the wrong size. Whew. Anyway, hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to work on BW and new card rules, but today, I'm rather busy. |
