Hey, I finally got my L2, so I guess I will give this a try.
This is going to be very far fetched and reliant on players following the rules, but bear with me.
The basic idea is that at the beginning every player can choose one special ability to use during the course of the game. Abilities can force other players to do specific actions, so the whole concept is build on the trust that no one is going to break the rules.
So here is a list of the available abilities (open to suggestions):
MonopolyThe user of this ability (TOUTA) may select any basic specialist (announced in public chat). No other player can hire this specialist, unless it is promoted instantly. Selected specialist may be changed at any time.
Cursed BloodIf a player eliminates the user of this ability (actively or passively) he must immidiately resign. This ability allows its user to utilize his queen as a weapon, but it comes with considerable danger.
EavesdroppingThe user of this ability may select any player (announced in public chat).This player can now only communicate through chats that include TOUTA. Selected player may be changed at any time.
Mind ControlThe user of this ability can give a single order to every player (in private chat). Orders must be sceduled for 12h after they are given.
Orders may only consist of a single action and cannot affect the player's
specialists or overwrite the effect of another ability.
Outpost DominationAt any point in the game, the user of this ability can name an outpost (in public chat). All players must clear this outpost (no drillers, specialists, shields) and may not launch at it, until TOUTA has captured it.
NecromancyWhenever a player is eliminated or resigns, TOUTA gains a copy of that player's ability (additionally).
PurificationTOUTA can take away a players ability (2x use). This has to be announced in public chat an takes 18h to take effect.
ImmunityThe user of this ability is not effected to any other ability. This includes
Purification and
Necromancy.
I would appreciate feedback on the overall idea and any specifics.
I am also open to ability suggestions. The more creative the better.
edit: Point taken, mind control should probably not affect specs.
Thanks for pointing that out.
