The Boys - Round 5 - Main Phase 2 - 4/7

[Ash]

I get that; the tricky part is that I don’t want it to be purely, “play card & add Health”.

@tutuu

For a limited time, befriend a player, you can’t attack them, they cannot attack you.
(this can stack and be called Cult instead depending on how long the alliance is balanced to last + how many people)

is this a per day thing?

@tutuu

Basic power that’s an attack with more damage

basic but fair

@tutuu

Spend X energy and choose an opponent.

At the end of this round, that player may burn [balanced modifier…maybe 0.5?] * X. If they do not, they can neither target you with an ability the following round, nor will their Basic Defend block your attacks.

like the trade off… but i feel like making them unable to block you as well could be a bit too much

@tutuu

If you bid on this ability, choose one of the three options below. It will act accordingly as chosen by the player, who bid the second-highest on this ability. (In case only one player bids on it, it will work according their whish)

Option 1:
When you get this ability, choose an other ability from this game, this ability copies that ability, word by word.

Option 2:
At the start of each round, choose an ability owned by an alive player,
In case of an ability with activation: if that ability is activated this round, you immediately can use the same ability.
In case of passive ability, you gain the passive until the end of the round.

Option 3:
Pay X health: Copy an ability, where X is the winning bid on the ability. You gain that ability. And the player who placed the highest bid on the copied ability, gains this ability. (They don’t lose their original ability.)

option 3 is way too feels bad man lol.

@tutuu

5. Double it:

Take someone’s attack and double it and pass it on!
(maybe it can be balanced to be kept getting passed and doubled)

probably needs a pay off to warrent the continuous passing on.

@tutuu

6. Insect Swarm:

You start off stronger than normal, but as you take more damage, your basic attacks become substantially weaker.

backwards beserker is actually really funnily designed with an insect swarm

@tutuu

Once per game, all alive player sets their health to their starting value (100). If anyone loses health because of this ability, they lose double instead.

this is incredibly feels bad.

@tutuu

Use this ability only if you have 5 or more Good Minor powers. Once it is used, it can NEVER be used again, even if another player steals it. This ability may not be copied.

Lose all of your Good Minor powers. Each other player gains each of those powers.

Then, steal a power from each other player. You may not steal powers they gained through this ability.

whats a minor power? and this feels like it will cause tutuu to have a mental breakdown

[Squirrel2412]

hmm

if we added something to incentivize waiting til you’re at very low health then it could maybe be interesting?

cuz then you have the chance you just straight up die before you restart

[Marshal]

jesus these suck

[Squirrel2412]

@Hazardwaste

whats a minor power? and this feels like it will cause tutuu to have a mental breakdown

@tutuu

At the beginning of each Round, each player publicly draws and reveals 2 Bad Minor Powers and 2 Good Minor Powers. Those will come from a pool that I have made beforehand. They’re small buffs and nerfs

whatever these are

[Hazardwaste]

ahhhhh ok

[Hazardwaste]

hmmmm i feel like increading the number from 5 to something else might be warrented. idk stealing powers is strong as fuck

[Hazardwaste]

like you dont only gain a power. your opponet looses a power

[Hazardwaste]

its not like copying

@tutuu

12. Game show Driven:

Every start of day run a Hunger game scenario with all the contestants.
https://brantsteele.net/hungergames/reaping.php
You may bet up to all your energy each day on a player to win.
If that player wins depending on how much energy your bet on them win a prize
¼ of energy – You may deal half your energy worth of damage to an enemy
1/3 of energy – You may gain half your energy worth of shield.
½ of energy – You may deal half your energy worth of damage to an enemy while also gaining half your energy worth of shield
2/3 of energy – You may copy an ability of the opponent you bet on. And use 2/3 of energy on that ability if able to (If not you get back your 2/3 energy)
¾ of energy – You may copy both all abilities of the opponent you bet on and use ¾ of energy on both abilities if able to. (If not get your energy back)

ALL YOUR ENERGY – YOU HAVE UNLOCKED THE CAPITALIST GOD OF THE HUNGER GAMES. YOU MAY FORCE THE PLAYER TO GIVE YOU A POWER UNTIL YOU FAIL A BET OR YOU DIE.

also i think this needs a minimum number of power you can submit

[Squirrel2412]

pushes up glasses

technically you’re gaining 1 power, losing 5+, and each one of your opponents are gaining 5+ and losing 1

it’s still pretty strong cuz you have choice over what powers you get, and the ones you get are going to be higher quality

but you are net losing powers

[Daeron]

uhhhh I didn’t get pinged for this thread btw
oh dear

[Squirrel2412]

[Daeron]

Game show driven is the best idea btw in terms of creativity

[Squirrel2412]

quick write up 2 powers and submit them

we’ll just add you in

[Daeron]

@tutuu what’s the rules about non-players talking?

[tutuu]
