    Okay I've read somewhere about this, and this thread is just to present the idea and see if people are interested in such forum game.
    Players form teams to defend their territory (penspinning, media, off-topic, manipulation, irc...).

    "The battle will rage through each map territory with the attacking teams competing for a chance to challenge the defenders for control of that territory.

    Only one territory will be active at anyone time and will stay open for 2 weeks. During this time the defending team will issue challenges. Each of the attacking teams will compete in these challenges and the first team to clock up 3 wins takes on the defending team in a final battle to the death! If no one gets 3 wins the defenders have successfully defended the territory.

    Challenges

    These will be run by the defending team. Before the war begins each team must think up at least 10 challenges that they can run during the game. These will be approved by the game moderators.

    Challenge Types

    Your team will be responsible for setting up and maintaining your challenges. If you need an impartial judge you may request one from the game moderators. Here are some ideas for types of challenges. You may have any number of each type to make up your 10 (please don’t make it all quizzes!).

    Quiz

    The defending team can set quiz questions for the attackers. The defending team will make the questions relevant to their home forum. When proposing a quiz you will decide how many questions it will have and how the attackers will play.

    The attackers could each nominate someone to answer and some one from each team answers each question with points for correct answers. Or it could be open with first correct answer scores.

    Specialist

    A challenge specialist to the defenders. Debates may want to have some debates actually take place and be judged. Art may have a drawing competition. This is really up to you to come up with some good stuff here.

    Word Games/Puzzles

    An example is the game where you take the names of 2 actors and have to link them via other actors they have performed with.

    Example:

    Kevin Spacey to Jeremy Irons

    Kevin Spacey was in “American Beauty” with Thora Birch who was in “Dungeons and Dragons” with Jeremy Irons.

    The winner could be the team that does it in the least links.

    Final Challenge

    You must also think up a final challenge that you can go head to head with an attacking team on. This will decide the outcome of your forum so think hard! Again if you need an independent judge just ask the game mods.

    What next?

    Soon it will be time for you to get organized in your teams. You must design a small team logo or flag. You can display this somewhere in your sig if you like. You must then come up with your challenges and submit them to me via PM/email. If you would like to elect a team leader then you can go ahead and do that. "



    This game would need more players (main problem >_>), and for the players of the same team to discuss about challenges privately (irc, msn, team forums...)

    So, just discuss it here smile.gif

    those challenge types are just examples.
    you can suggest teams here, and see in what team would you like to be in.
    challenges are mostly 'team-related', for example media team could make some challenges like editing videos or collabs and somehing like that smile.gif
    i just hope this will work out 'cos this can be very funny game smile.gif

    it didn't take long, that text in quotes is copied from another forum.
    but it is complicated, and requires lot of players, and not only plaers that are 'regulars' in forum games, but other players too >_>
