Title: Thunderdome
Post by: Lordus on January 01, 2011, 11:04:54 pm
Hello wastelanders,
 i have little suggestion. Its purpose is to settle a disputes among gangs and also add little purpose to unarmed (melee) chars.

 If there will exist any dispute among gangs (or even famous individuals), we should settle it in Thunderdome using special unarmed (or melee) character.

 Benefits:

 1) New kind of fun for everyone
 2) Chalenge for old power builders architects
 3) Way how to settle a dispute instead of crying in this forum
 4) Maybe start of kind of tradition (every era could end by big box tournament)...

 So, what do you think?

Good idea, I'd support it.

I'd also like to see some sort of betting system to go along with that. Might lead to some fun (and fraud) which perfectly fits the harsh wasteland.

This will encourage alting, but sounds like a fucking good reason to create an alt. I agree with what John said.

Double post bump! This was a good idea, I'd like to see this happening.

Rules I suggest:
-Melee and Unarmed based weapons only. No high tech stuff though, just spears, hammers, clubs, knives, brass knuckles. Rocks?
-Tier 1 armor only. Would be nice to make sure both fighters wear exactly the same kind of armor.
-No shirt, no shoes.
-You do not talk about Thunderdome.

Heh :D Throwing knives are a delicious kind of "low tech" weapons, but Thunderdome was for melee only :(

i think taht best would be
-all meele/unarmed weapons allowed.
-All drugs. (wasteland is junkieland)
-no armour. (fights will be swift and merciless)
-everyone brings his own stuff
-big mean avanger player guards around to maintain order in audience and waiting competitors
-taking place in some undeveloped unprotected city maybe some place in necropolis

I like the idea but i dont know if it will be safe in an unprotected town, yeah it has sense... some underground fight in a place like necropolis or new reno but there could be people killing everybody and that kind of shit is no good

 Well, the original idea was that major gangs would create one unarmed or melee char and they would fight 1x1 somewhere (New Reno, does not matter) to settle down their disputes. No need to implement anything. Players would come, look at fight, after end players would go away. During fight, players would not attack each other (except those 2 unarmed fighthers, of course). Its kind of chivalry tradition. Even enemy, after 2 years of playing on same server, we could behave like a men, not child. At this moment, acticity on 2238 is minimal, because everybody expects wipe, there are a lot of different fonline servers, .. . So i hope this tradition would start at least after wipe on 2238. Again, nothing is needed to be implemented. It depends on players and gangs.

 Even gangs are in same alliance, they can manfight in thunderdome among each other. Thats all.

That sounds quite naive. Especially in 2238 where some of those warriors who are part of the Great Testers' Pantheon that have been around since OBT [insert number here] feel they have the right to behave the way they want.

But anyway, Lordus, what was your original idea about weapon selection, armor, drugs, etc?

nah i dont agree, unarmed and melee combat is really poor balanced and most builts work with one hit, and then you will never get up.
Also if you clic to attack certain melee guy it will become a server lag battle; both guys are programmed to instant hit the enemy when he gets to one (or two) hexes, so its hard and pointless.
if you want to solve problems you must use the best armament and builts and freakem out in a battle, anyway i promise that the loser will still hating the winner.

Look what the n00b comic have to say:

PD: I suspect that you all dont have a melee or unarmed alt. if you dont know how it works...dont post anything

That's why I suggested what I suggested. If this would be done with Super Sledges, Power Fists and the like, it'd be just a HtH version of the usual ololo pwnzement.

Yes I agree with this however you can't expect others to behave the way you would. This would require immense patience and probably humility. To accept loss and not just grab your equipment later and murder everyone in the area. What would make some sense would be perhaps some god level NPC guards? or Removal of items and restoration of them upon admission to the "thunderdome". Which would to me require some external or more so internal implements.
That however is my opinion and may or may not matter in the end.

There are gangs (sometimes enemies), that are cooperating with each other (VSB, TTTLA, Hawks,...) = after wipe this could be more than 50 players. It is good player base to make some periodical unarmed tournament. If any hostile gang players or no gang player would join, we could make condition. But until wipe this idea is dead.
