This feature was rejected 6/11/2007: duels are not the purpose of the site. We've done ALL we will do with duels. there WON'T be any more duel options.

RISK Duel

18 years ago

I know that the duels in this site aren't very long. All are based around tells, luck and intuition. I'd like to see a multiple turn duel like RISK, or maybe a poker game. But something that is not over before it has begun. Maybe it could be like having multiple duels and a save file. Like RISK: P1 attacks from Home to Nutral with 3, P2 defends with 2. P1 has 3,4,6, P2 has 1,6. P1 loses 1 soldier, P2 loses 1 soldier. 

Before and after each battle, a map could be displayed showing territories, routes between, and troop strength. Then the attacker could choose what to attack and where to attack from. To make things short, we could have only 3 territiories per player. I say per player, because this could be 3 PLAYER!

After the attacker has attacked and moved troops, the game is saved and the next player becomes the attacker. This can go on until all enemy troops have been eliminated. 

To expand this idea, you could also have: 3 different kinds of troops with an advantages triangle, different types of terrain and a 100-point maximum bet. This may seem too much, but THIS HAS TO BE BETTER THAN GENERATION AFTER GENERATION OF RPS! if you don't like this idea, at least put in a poker game.

Rommel, signing off.

Seems like way too much work for something that has nothing to do with writing. This is a writing site Rommel. Lest we forget.

COME ON! AS IF RPS, RPS 25, and Toggle have anything to do with writing. they are about gambling MAG points and the ones we have are sort of primitive. If we can't have RISK, what about a card game? Poker? Hearts? UNO?

If you would read my post you would realise that I never said it had to do with writing at all.  I said that that would be far too much effort to make for osmething that has nothing to do with reading.

To JJJ, I tenaciously cling to my tenaciously tenacious view that I am tenacious! I will not step down! RISK rules!

I said this is a writing site.  I said that risk is far too much effort for something that isnt a writing oriented project.  I never said that things had to be writing oriented (RPS etc), I just said no big projects should be so far from writing.

OK. point taken. Maybe a story with a score could be used a duel to see who gets the highest points? There could be a lot of them, chosen by the admins.

But what happens if your opponent leaves halfway through the game?

Or better yet (to prevent ties) who can finish a story with the best possible ending the quickest.

Excellent ideas people. I've made a game that would be perfect. in Doomed in Stalingrad you have to find your way out before the time runs out. This could work fine with a timed storygame duel.

I said that Doomed in Stalingrad was stupid.

My point exactly. I've fixed the bugs, and just because you think any story you can't finish in under half an hour is worth reading will not stop it.

That was low.  All of my favourites are over 30 minute long games.  Take mommy for example.  Just because you cant write a long story dosent mean I dont like them.

Oops, sorry, typo. This is what I meant to say:

My point exactly. I've fixed the bugs, and just because you think any story you can't finish in under half an hour is not worth reading will not stop it.

My point, JJJ is that you are disdainful of short games. I rest my case.

RISK Duel

Yeah most short games suck. Lack of effort.

RISK Duel

Wrong. Finals Week is short, Twenty Three is short, Wolves is short. Not to mention a lot of Parallel games, that have a lot of endings & pages & links, but to play to just one ending takes no time at all.

RISK Duel

Finals week is in the top ten longest games on the site.....  Wolves sucks..... (better then your games though) Twenty three is trivial....

So you're saying that most short games are good? I stand by JJJ's opinion. Most short games are bad (because I don't like using that word, I don't know why, just hate it and find no meaning for it).

Twenty-Three was awesome though. It was short and sweet. From what I can see, most short games are made by people like "ben_the_cool_guy" and only have a page saying, "vizit my websit coz its cool lol".

Back on track, why not a RISK duel? If we disable cysid for this one, the effort needed will be reduced.
