idea for a tricks battle system battle system

[alpha7158]

firstly there could be a separate section of the forum where the battle threads are generated.

could you code the forum so that you could initiate battles? By this i mean.

person A on the forum wants to battle person B, C and D so he clicks on the "start a battle" button in user CP

this screen works like a private message, A types in that he wishes to challenge B C and D. He then states the rules of the battle, a deadline (if a video isn't posted by the deadline then the person who failed to post it forfeits) and then sends it on its way.

B and D accept but C declines; because everyone has replied to the battle request a battle thread is automatically set up by the forum.

Then via the battle tab in user CP A B and D can input a link to their battle video. The links on the battle thread don't become active until all people involved in the battle have inputted the link to their battle vid, though the thread does tell you when a person has uploaded the link. This way the battle stays fair because all the videos get released at the same time.

Once all of the videos links have been submitted a poll option is activated and the forum pick the winner. After 3 days the poll is frozen and the winner is decided.

what do you think?

edit: I appear to have written battle system twice in the title :agony:

SweeeeeeT! Idea!!!

[Flowers]

Man you went all the way with this idea!!

[alpha7158]

Battle sub-forums haven't really worked in the past, it would need this innovation to take it off of the ground.

[Kyukodo Gaz]

I like the idea, it would be the coding which may cause problems. It would make it much fairer and people would use the function quite well I think. Juji..?

[Matt K]

It might need to be limited to something like a battle a week per person or another limit within reason. This would prevent people from abusing it and loading somebody's inbox with dozens of requests to battle.

Otherwise, it seems like an awesome idea!

[Rayzer]

Nice Alpha, this is the best "tricking battle idea" I've seen so far!

But I'm afraid the timing could be better, because Juji just made this thread a few days ago:

[Flowers]

Surely there is someone else high up in the forums who could help juji out with this.

[slim-grim]

Yeah rayzer's right, but it's still a brilliant idea, pretty much adds a whole new dimension to tricking!! I'd love to see this take off.

[blackflipboi]

thats my idea,haha jp jp

[Cicero]

Great ideea Alpha! 5 stars for you!

[blackflipboi]

damn alpha that was well thought out... i really like it !!

[fusion]

i guess it would be easier just to start a thread after u PM someone asking for a battle as i doubt juji would get round to this, great idea though

[TommyGun]

great idea. i never woulda thought of that

[Sakanem]

5 Stars :)

[tracekillz]

thats my idea,haha jp jp

STEALING MY THUNDER!!! NOOOOOOO!!!! damn you alpha!!! hahaha...

[alpha7158]

haha whatever, you just said you wanted battles, you didn't come up with the idea of an in-coded battle system.

[tracekillz]

haha i wasnt really serious about the biting. but whatever. i dont really care as long as the idea sparked...i was thinking more along the lines of a sub forum. in the subforum, one thread where you call someone out and set up the judges (along with all the proper PMs)...another thread where the battle takes place, and then an archive section for when the battle finishes. but the coding works as well.

[simon]

im a judge.

[shengoikee]

this is just like pokemon ^_^

[alpha7158]

dave hurry up and get on your train

[simon]

im a judge.

[Flowers]

Hahahahha you gotta compete to beat the gyms, and get badges!

[Sakanem]

yay! let's make a TT RPG!

[Flowers]

yay! let's make a TT RPG!

The real time physics game was in works for awhile.

[alpha7158]

there is a TT rpg on gloryhood.com

[blackflipboi]

this is just like pokemon ^_^

i was thinking the same thing when i challenged kyukodo haha

[Flowers]

Kyukodo! I CHOOSE YOU!

[simon]

im a judge.
qft.

[Synv2]

not sure if anyone knows about this, but there actually used to be a "battle" subforum in here, it was pretty well run, but sort of died out when juji had to redo the forums

[Swartz]

I have to disagree, I think it half died on it's own anyway because it WASN'T well run. Yes, like you said it's been done before though.

[Rayzer]

uh yeah...I think most people know this, and they also know that it wasn't well run (like Swartz said). That's why some people are sceptic that the idea of a tricking battle system on this site will ever work out...

[Flowers]

I film today. Do we know who we are sending it into Andy?

ehhh, I wasn't too sure about that, because I almost never went in there, but some of the battles worked out well

[simon]

me.duh

[chobos bak?]

it sounds coool but i dont recon juji will be able to do it

[flipster]

agreed, a battle sub forum and some proper rules for the different kinds of battles would be great tho

i forgot towels

[Flowers]

hahahaha

[flipster]

yeah that was pretty cool, worked out nice

a horse kinda game would be cool some time as well
like... 3-5 persons battling
nr.1 does a trick, then nr.2 does the same trick + another trick etc.
for every succesfully executed combo/trick the trickster will get a point
if someone is unable of executing the combo, or takes too much time, he just won't get any points and the next person tries the same

maybe not a good idea but i'd like to try it out at least

[Cicero]

It'd be a tad difficult, because for a game of horse you need to know how to do the exact tricks the other does.

If the guy starts with a dub cork... you'ze dead... Or just if he starts with a trick you never practiced in your life like let's say a shuriken twist... You're bound to screw it up.

Plus there are no points for finesse or style.

[Dark Twista]

I say go for it. Its been done before and died but first mistake and second rules out.

Battle Sub-forums Rule :cool:
