Usurper Game, hosted by Nepycros (ಠ_ಠ)

Anyone have ideas for what the rewards should be? They each have to do with fulfilling a set of requirements in the game, and each have to do with one of the shards, with one other shard representing an Usurper element. In all, there are... 39 bonuses possible, 3 for each element, in varying levels of usefulness depending on the type chosen.

scrap bonuses for now. Considering the game might be imbalanced, getting a bonus for winning in an imbalanced game would be bleh

All right, I'm gonna have it moved to Forum Games, under a Trial Session. This will be meant as an exploratory run-through in an attempt to find flaws in gameplay and correct them. The last time I played Usurper, the game followed smoothly enough, and there was even some build-up leading to an overall interesting series of events. Is anyone around here willing to co-host, as this is my first time possibly hosting a game? I'll take any help I can get to make sure this doesn't turn into a bust.

I'd rather participate. Ask kuro and F&H, i can be pretty good at finding points that can be abused.

Point taken. Into the limelight we go!
...
After I tune up the powers a bit. It's been around a year, after all.

I have added a number of unique mechanics to the game to diversify gameplay as I see fit. I even made the Usurper a little more powerful in order to make 29 v 1 more fair. I'll take one more day's worth of feedback before asking to have this posted to Forum Games.

Backfire chances to me are bad. But others may not feel this way.


Singularity seems dumb.

Need to change Giant Dragon->Massive Dragon

I thought that insta-kills without repercussions make the game run too quickly, and also mean that anyone with a killing power can just spam until they get lucky with Usurper. The more risk involved, the more they have to rely on other powers with less chance involved.

Singularity seems dumb.

I wanted Chaos Lord to have something unique up his sleeve, and frankly, Singularity was the most Chaotic I could think of. It's only because it was added recently that I didn't put in Singularity sooner. What do you think is a good FG power for Chaos Lord?

Need to change Giant Dragon->Massive Dragon

Done and done.
