[GP/UI] 2-player "team" games (Polymorphic)

[edwinissweet]

Also, i think that if you are going to get points from 4 people, that you are putting yourself on the line 4 times. If a farmer were to seek low ranks to play, a game like this could cost him 200-300 points.

That is a really good point. The potential to lose that many points could deter farming. Personally I don't see why people care about farmers.

Not really (i.e totally the opposite). If a decent quads team put in for a public game - they could hammered by an expert at quads who would get 60 pts a pop.
It would be the way to go to make conqueror.
It may discourage people from leaving public games open to be picked off (when they thought it'd be team vs team).

I think this proposal should get back on track.

It's a great 1v1 idea.

before the game opened you would be able to choose if your game is a normal quads, or if its a 1 vs team

You didn't say anything in your reply edwin lol

[edwinissweet]

i typed inside his quote by accident lol. i fixed it

[natty dread]

1vteam sounds like a horrible idea to me. 1v1, meh, I don't much care for 1v1 anyway ...but if people want that I guess it could be a fun novelty.

1vteam seems like a great way for multis to earn points. But it would also be a really easy way for mods to discover the multis. If people like it...make it happen!

not agree. for multis easier way for taking points is normal 1 vs 1, the game is over sooner.

Huh? Really? You do know this will work just like a team game in scoring. It will be team total vs team total.. So if 1 vs team was put in. Then it would come into play... if not then 1 vs 1 team would be as normal.

I agree with 1 vs 1 team but not 1 vs team

how would you play it freestyle?

[-=- Tanarri -=-]

I would imagine that you would have control over all colours at the same time.

[edwinissweet]

i thought this would be limited to only sequential. Perhaps if you could switch between players with a quick click

In the interest of keeping this relatively easy to code, perhaps freestyle could be disabled for this option.

I wish last call at my local lasted this long.

Props to you ahunda for putting the time in to make this suggestion and follow it through 2 years later...

Now come on admins. Admit the idea in!

Yes, thank you. You definitly made my job easier.

[ahunda]

Cheers, guys. Though this thread here didn´t exactly take 2 years ...

I am not sure about the Freestyle question. Was considering to include this in the Discussion summary in the 1st post just now, but I am such a FS noob myself, that I really don´t know ...

My original suggestion included the note, that this option will probably not work with FS. But maybe there are ways to make it work ? As edwinissweet mentioned, allowing players to switch between their different colours with one fast click ?

In a 1v1 FS Quad, one turn could have quite the impact then. But as far as I know, well working teams in regular FS team games play the same way: Meeting online & taking their turns together, all at the same time. So a lot would come down to timing & speed there, I guess.

But as I said: I am a FS noob & can´t really envision such games & possible problems with them.

[Bruceswar]

I will respond to the freestyle comment. It is best to disable this for freestyle, as that would likely require to much coding to allow players to switch between each other. It also could lead to some serious farming, which is already there, but no need for more orchards. Though if it could be coded, in such a way to make it feasible I would be willing to try it out!

I love you edwin. I recognize the work you guys put in. Two claps for edwin!

[billy07]

this is a very good idea. it could also lead to some players making less multi's.

[ahunda]

Freestyle discussion/question included in the 1st post now.

[superkarn]

I support this!

I haven't been here in a while, but for some older discussions on a similar thread: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6681

this is just a way to be cheap and get team medals

oh but i need them so its k for now until i get them

You wouldn't get team medals for winning these games.

[edwinissweet]

there would probably be a medal made of this
