New game types

Ok I was just looking over the holocron because I was bored and then just realized some game types we made up on xbox live ( of course they are not official game types so players have to socially agree and cooperate to play them) Now you guys already have forms of RP so ill go into the other game type I remember.

"The Sith Lord" (never had an official name to be honest) team red has two people on there team (force power limit is set to just one below jedi gaurdian) a sith lord and the apprentice. The apprentice is not allowed to use drain, and lvl 3 of any other dark force abilities. The apprentice can not use guns. (and of course he can't be light side) the sith or the 'sith lord' can use any force power to his diposal (of course he has to be dark side) of any lvl, but he can not use a saber or any guns. Blue team wins of the sith lord ever dies. (the apprentice is still allowed to respawn)

now blue team has a jedi master and a bunch of troops. The only rules for the jedi master is that he can not use guns, must be light side and if he dies his team automaticly loses. The soldiers can not use force powers, but may use any guns to their disposal and also may respawn.


Exceptional rules: If the blue side has at least 4 player you may choose to have additional players to be even split between teh two teams ( in other words if there are alot of player team red can have a few troops, but they sure better look like they are troopers like storm troopers or something )

Clarifications: It is basicly the jedi master vs. the sith master where the jedi has a sqaud of troops with teh sith has an apprentice. where if the key character of a side dies, then game ends. Also the sith apprentice may not have any dark force lvl 3 abilities and are not allowed to use drain period. (as in not even allowed to have lvl 1 drain ) Also you should enable the option where team red can only use dark force and blue can only use light side powers.. for simplicity of cooperation sake. (of course it is not necessary) Also remember the only people who can use guns are soldiers, and soldiers must NOT have any force power at all. (except of course the freebie lvl 1 jump ) So yes the siths will be able to push the soldiers around like nothing. Also having
Soldiers and team red (the sith side) is not recommended, but of course it is just a game and if it is what is wanted or in the best of interest for balancing purpose or something, then go ahead. I would also like to state that you should have at least 5 players to play this game.

*EDIT* If other people want to post game types they thought of on here, they are more than welcomed.

Poll
Should game types that require cooperation and can not be integrated into the game be bothered playing?

I was on the server today and we had quite a decent number of people for once in a while, so I suggested the game type posted as the topic starter and since I was typing so much to tell them what teh gaem was, they said sounds complicated maybe later. So in case anyone was wondering what in the world I was talking about on the server. I have bumped this back up for anyone interested in reading it.

No, I woudl not have taht rule, because its liek darth vader trying to take on teh emporerer when he expects it, in other words it would just be a nuisance to the game, sinc ehte sith lord coudl just double hand lvl 3 lihgtning him. This is more like teh sith lord who uses no weaposn that is how powerfull he is. (darth vader only killed the emporer when he was doing what was right not for power )

Really you agree to who is the sith apprentice and sith lrod the first place so TKing to eb teh new sith lord would just be stupid and ruin it. (especially since the apprentice can respawn all he wants)

Wouldn't that be the norm. I mean they are sith and they do lust for power. Anyway I thought that was one of the ways a sith apprentice became a sith master.

Can the apprentice TK the sith master and become Sith Lord himself? :D

Making up additional games is cool and should be encouraged, it adds variety to the game and extends it's life.

Saying that I very rarely use guns or force powers. I just love to duel :)

Yeah I know what you mean. To be quite honest on Xbox I never actauly had the oppurtunity to get this game type going ever much with the required players willing to play, but I had actauly heard the game type from another player mainly and thought it was a great idea. Now I understand the missing stuff part and it woudl make sense for me to be there when the game gets first tried out. "What you mean the Jedi master can't respawn either? Well then I would of not planned to do a suaice bombing tactic with him the first place!" ( Not that Im saying anyone would necessarily make that mistake, or if it was really a big deal or anything.)

Well, first let me say that it definatly does sound like an interesting idea.

Secondly that Quote:

are DEFINATLY worth playing. It happens all the time in the JA,

Tag-team duels springs to mind,

Thirdly, In general, it is difficult to judge how "good" a game will be until you acctually try it out, im sure thats why noone has responded to this thread. Once your game arives (and you are un-grounded :P) then just wait till theres about 5 or so players on who don't seem to be doing much and ask them if they want to give it a try.

I have seen others do this and have tried a couple of my own (Blog for example).

I think the JA is a really good environment for experimenting with new game ideas, as long as its all good fun it's great.

Just make sure you ask the others on the server if they mind, and let new people know what you are doing as soon as they join the game. Then there should be no problem.

If you acctually have difficulty finding people willing to help you try this out then try asking a JAK+ if they want to give it a try in one of thier classes. Many have a "fun time" at the end of a class to wind-down. Often it is related to what was learn't but not always.

If people give it a try, and find they like it, then it will quickly spread. Just it's very tricky to imagine what this game is like from the description alone.
