BYOLoLC - Requiem cast'd, everyone dies
« on: July 25, 2012, 08:22:20 am »

Basically, people have an HP bar that varies between maybe 3 and maybe 7 (I may have to draft Wuba to help me with balancing...). There are (almost) no insta-kill abilities, instead they take away a certain amount of health. Once per night you can use a single ability (with some exceptions, i.e. Karthus's Q due to it's extremely low CD in-game). Your ult can be used no earlier than N3 and only once per game. If two or more people pick the same champion, I wait until everyone else has picked and make them both pick someone else. Example of a champion (Nunu):
Passive: every second night you can use two abilities;
Q: heal one HP;
W: prevent roleblocks, delays and redirects on yourself or someone else;
E: deal one point of damage, delay by one night;
R: next night up to three chosen people take 2 damage.

Players:
0. NativeForeigner
1. Toaster
2. Hapah
3. Orangebottle (needs replacement)
4. IronyOwl
5. Tiruin
6. Shakerag
7. Phantom of the Library (needs replacement)
8. Urist Imiknorris
9. zombie urist Gangplank

Thinking about it, it seems like it would be really hard to set up roles. Mind if I throw out one hero and you can post what you'd make that hero, so we can see how it goes? I don't see anyone missing one hero.

Sure why not. Just keep in mind that I have put together some mildly complicated rules concerning night actions. Basically, people have an HP bar that varies between maybe 3 and maybe 7 (I may have to draft Wuba to help me with balancing...). There are (almost) no insta-kill abilities, instead they take away a certain amount of health. Once per night you can use a single ability (with some exceptions, i.e. Karthus's Q due to it's extremely low CD in-game). Your ult can be used no earlier than N3 and only once per game. If two or more people pick the same champion, I wait until everyone else has picked and make them both pick someone else. Well. That's it, I guess.

Alright. Yeah, I had no clue how this thing was going to work, lol.

Let's say...Nunu? (That's the one with the kid riding the yeti or whatever the hell it is, right?)

Huh. Jokerman had a similar idea ages ago but never acted upon it. Glad to see it might actually be a thing. I'd play if you'd be willing to wait about a month to start it. I'm disappearing from the tenth to the twenty-third.

Yeah, you're a dick, NativeForeigner.
Quit being such a dick, you dick.
Maybe if you weren't such a dick you wouldn't be such a dick.

I'd be interested to hear alternatives. They may be unorthodox, sure, but it's not impossible and they could be very entertaining.

Whenever I host a game with 'some alternatives', it gets stuck in sign-ups for 2,5 months. >_>

If we start signups now, we might be able to start the game in a month. :P

The worst part of all of this is that Shakerag won.

You might be able to summon the wild Pandar with this idea.
