I pimp my games in the forum game list where they belong, gosh darn it.
You should pimp your games in my thread exclusively dedicated to pimping games. That's right. I just pimped the pimp, sucka.

How would everyone one feel about a game where you start out playing a small time vigilante with a minor super power and work your way up?

Can't see anything wrong with it. What's the extent of the powers?

Which end of the spectrum? Because the PC will start at the low end of the spectrum and go up.

Mostly I just meant: Marvel-style super powers? Transformation? Is it a virus that unlocks normal human potential? Magic? What kind of powers are we talking here?

Think Marvel style powers but occasionally people get a little bug that makes them be able to unlock powers after events like, defeating a number of enemies, or being defeated in a big way. (Kind of like Saiyans from DBZ? I think that's something about them.)

That's to be decided. It has to be minor but I am open to suggestion.

A super powered vigilante, that sound like fun.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Here's a random idea I had:

A "create-your-own-boss-and-then-fight-it".
Essentially, there are two phases to every round of this game.

In phase 1, players can suggest and vote for various aspects of a giant monster creature they're willing to fight in the phase 2. It'll probably go based on a list to keep things somewhat organized.
Every player can choose a character from the list of X characters, each having a unique basic attack and two "active" abilities. Said abilities can be upgraded between rounds with specific upgrades. Because chances are that you will NOT defeat one boss in a single round. But you will gain gold that you can spend on upgrading your abilities, "unlocking" new heroes for other players to play as, and whatnot.
Not sure what kind of combat system it would use, but it should be somewhat emergent to keep things interesting and prevent people from just abusing some loophole in a lame way.

It would be relatively fast-paced, too.

Maybe making the heroes based on the demeanor and avatars of the suggestors? Like, if someone repeatedly suggests merciful parts a healer or buffer gets added?

Anything where people control individual characters will not be fast-paced, unfortunately.
