Title: Ideas about Card-games and board-games!
Post by: Fanomatic2000 on February 05, 2003, 08:55:35 am: Wouldn\'t it be fun if the world of PS contained totally new card-games and board games?
If you have an idea, just write it down here and let the devs have a look at it.

Post by: Link on February 05, 2003, 09:58:52 am: Come on, if you want to play other games then play them. You play Planeshift, not some board game. This IS NOT the Sims, we aren\'t trying to simulate life.

Post by: Silverblade on February 05, 2003, 01:12:56 pm: I disagree link, we are trying to create an immersive fantasy world, with all the little aspects that make life fun... like these games.

By the way, congrats on surviving your breast cancer ;)

Post by: Link on February 05, 2003, 01:45:28 pm: Yeah and while we are at it let\'s put in pretty pink bunnies, and a toilet skill. I got an idea, while your playing planeshift open solitaire and alt-tab back and forth, or some stupid board game on yahoo.

Post by: Fanomatic2000 on February 05, 2003, 04:21:58 pm: Umm...I\'m not sure what card and board-games has to do with \"the sims\" (which is a game that I hate btw)
Well for one thing you play with in-game money and for fun, and I don\'t wanna play cardgames without a reason if you know what I mean.
Link, this isn\'t some kind of action game where you just walk around killing monsters for XP, this is called MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) and it means that you live like a second life in another world where you and many other players interacts.
This means that you do exactly as you want. You can adventure with some pals, kill dragons, search for treasure or you can hunt deer, sell the meat, and then gamble up all your money at the local tavern.
Yes Link, this IS a sim game wherever you like it or not.
BTW. It was possible to play card-games in UO, so why shouldn\'t it be possible here? ;)

Post by: Aruneko on February 05, 2003, 10:04:09 pm: I thought that the first M in MMORPG stood for Massive.
Title:
Post by: Kiern on February 05, 2003, 10:09:34 pm: Ya its Massive ;)

Anyways, card games are great things, you need something mindless to do if you just wanna waste time...and besides, betting is always fun

Post by: EstafanCortez on February 06, 2003, 04:04:11 am: I think that for card games there should be kind of like the \"Magic: The Gathering\" card game, like with the life points and attack points with powers and diffrent types of spell card and the such, i dont know but i think that would be much fun

Post by: FMiddy on February 06, 2003, 06:06:44 am: now that MTG idea is pointless for a game like this, however games like poker and chess would be cool to have :D

Post by: kinshadow on February 06, 2003, 06:23:00 am: Well, I orginally posted a thread in the Mini-Games (http://www.planeshift3d.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=1573&boardid=11) thread about the following card deck:

8 suits, 1 named for each level.
Each suit has an Octarch card, a Vigesimi card, and a Crystal card (takes place of Ace / 1).
The other suits have a decending number of cards. The first suit has numbered cards 2-8, the second 2-7....and the last suit has no numbered cards (just Crystal and Face cards).
You end up with a total of 52 cards.

I though tof some variations of blackjack and poker if gambling is wanted, but the factorial number of cards kind of makes the statistics screwy.

On a side note, each of the face cards (Octarch and Vigesimi) of each suit could have a name based off a historical figure from that level. Each could be an embodiment of a virtue or sin in the PS world. It could be a good way to enccourage people to learn PS history. In addition, the face cards could be laid out to do fortune tellings (Paxx gave me the idea). Your future could be fortold using portents of the past.

Post by: Abemore on February 06, 2003, 07:46:28 am: how are you posts consistently so good, kinshadow!?

I nominate you for DEVdom

Post by: Fantasyfiend on February 06, 2003, 08:01:32 am: As far as games heres a few I think would be fitting chess, backgammon, darts, Archery, Riddles (that almost doesn\'t count), Blackjack?, or maybe roulette.

And since Link was nice enough to throw in the idea of froo froo bunnies, flowers, and potty training here are some \"other\" game ideas that might be interesting.

Candy Land, Spin the Bottle, Jump Rope, Cat\'s Cradle, Truth or Dare, Hop-scotch, Jack-be-nimble, and my all time favorite, Chutes and Ladders!! Oh come on, don\'t act like you haven\'t thought of it.

Post by: Fanomatic2000 on February 06, 2003, 10:13:44 am: GAAAAH! I thought I was gonna live my life without having to see adult dwarfs jump rope 8o
Wow, I love the candy-land idea. Will it be possible to eat the candy as well? :D
Spin the bottle will be interesting. The one the bottle point at must kill a dragon, run by foot to the other side of the world, and then run back here and drink 20 beers in a row :D

Post by: Fantasyfiend on February 12, 2003, 07:24:14 am: LOL.

Knights of the Way: Gentleman, we have saved the world from the reign of Galados, Rescued the Damsel in Distress, and Fended off the Necromancers from our castle. How shall we celebrate?

Knight: I know! Let\'s play Jacks!

All: Huzzah!

Now we know what The Fellowship did during long trips to Mordor. Frodo was playing Cherades, while Gimli did his knitting, Aragorn, all the time playing \"Mystery Date\". I wonder how Tolkien could have left this golden moments out?

CRAPS!! I love playing craps with my friends...course we just do it for fun
Title:
Post by: Fantasyfiend on February 17, 2003, 08:50:04 am: OH Yeah. Rolling bones is a must. Snake Eyes, 7-11. You can\'t beaet the thrill of rolling dice. Y\'know I got in trouble at school for shooting dice. We weren\'t playing for real money, it was M&M coupons, but they still busted us for it. Since they were so \"Rightous\" they woke up with horse heads in their covers. Showed them. Good idea Zeus. How about Russian Roulette? Cheat the Devil? those might be....entertaining...
Title:
Post by: Link on February 17, 2003, 09:46:42 am: Ahhh yes, if there is games we MUST have Russian Roulette. I don\'t know that they had six shooters back then, so it would have to be something else, a 6 shooter wand or something.

Post by: Zeus on February 17, 2003, 10:35:24 pm: how about an autocrossbow link?
Title:
Post by: Link on February 18, 2003, 03:16:17 am: I guess that would work.
Title:
Post by: Fantasyfiend on February 19, 2003, 03:48:06 am: Six swords, ones a fake. Guess which one? As much as I look forward to games involving death, I still can\'t wait to play Chutes and Ladders as a Kran. Not sure why.
