stationchief Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Just wondering what people think about this idea, or if anyone else has even heard or seen of it before. A vidogame-ish style system in the forums where you can 'attack' other users and earn hit points and experience. See, me being an avid classic gamer I've been a regular at the ArcadeAtHome.com forums for some time. They use an attack system for their registered users to play with other registered users. Most people say it's rather addicting. And fun to 'kill' other users. Glance over and take a look. Whaddaya think? And have a look HERE in case you're curious as to how it all works.
Scott Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Seems reminescent of older BBS chat rooms that you could dial in to. I've never seen it in a forum, but I'm familiar with the concept. I don't think you will be seeing anything like that here though. It just doesn't fit in with the mission of the GD site or forum. Just my thought on it.

Brad Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Yes, with BF coming we'll be under attack from clueless newbies and spammers so we don't need to be attacking each other anytime soon
stationchief Posted August 22, 2007 Author Posted August 22, 2007 Yes, with BF coming we'll be under attack from clueless newbies and spammers so we don't need to be attacking each other anytime soon But wouldn't that be the fun of it all. When someone gets on everyone's nerves with too much spam, Brad can just 'kill' em off. And it's a great way to relieve stress. Imagine the chaos! But a few down sides of this: It encourages spam badly. People will spam hundreds of topics every day just to get their stats up before they go on a fragging spree. Also, people start 'gang clans' to attack in groups. I think they get waaaaaaay too involved in it.
MandaJo111 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 I have used it in a forum setting before...it was a lot of fun.
DramaQueenLucy Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 It looks like fun but Brad is right we need to be prepared for the onslaught of BF Shoppers....
ken9455 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Yes, with BF coming we'll be under attack from clueless newbies and spammers so we don't need to be attacking each other anytime soon Hey, we were ALL clueless newbies at one time:)
Scott Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Hey, we were ALL clueless newbies at one time:)Not me... Nuh uh...
Brad Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 But wouldn't that be the fun of it all. When someone gets on everyone's nerves with too much spam, Brad can just 'kill' em off. And it's a great way to relieve stress. Imagine the chaos! Eh, when someone gets on everyone's nerves, I can just ban them, which is a lot more fun than fake "killing" them off.
stationchief Posted August 23, 2007 Author Posted August 23, 2007 Eh, when someone gets on everyone's nerves, I can just ban them, which is a lot more fun than fake "killing" them off. Don't cross the boss!
Marcster Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Don't cross the boss! And watch out for the Hammer! http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Fight%20Hit/animation14vf.gif
stationchief Posted August 23, 2007 Author Posted August 23, 2007 And watch out for the Hammer! http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Fight%20Hit/animation14vf.gifYeah. Every time I see that signature of yours, the number keeps goin' up.
DramaQueenLucy Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Well Brad & Marcster have an unfair advantage.. BTW Marcster you are doing a great job with the Hammer!!!
Marcster Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Well Brad & Marcster have an unfair advantage.. BTW Marcster you are doing a great job with the Hammer!!!Thanks. Don't forget about Scott too.
Scott Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Thanks. Don't forget about Scott too. And Brad... He is the coding wiz that is making it easier to spot the spammers before they have a chance to spam.
DramaQueenLucy Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Yeah Yeah Scott has an unfair advantage too... Sorry Scott I forgot all about you...opps
