DA Twists

[Burter]

I'm probably gonna just have to decide for myself. As you said, it takes out the luck factor, which is a huge part of DA.

[Talys]

Is there a chance we could vote and see what people would think? I understand you ultimately decide but personally I'd prefer if only weapons between Crap-Moderate were giving out at start with Excellent being gained through Easter Eggs or killing of those who gained one earlier through Easter Egg.

Granted it slightly takes out the luck factor which is why I'm asking if you'd be willing to poll it.

Well, I don't necessarily agree with this (meaning I still want excellent weapons in the beginning), but I do think that the easter egged weapons should be something a step above the possible starting weapons. . .

Also, will there be a time limit or use limit on the easter egged items or would it only be like a three in the competition thing? Because if this happened every other day or something, things could get messy.

[Burter]

It will happen 2 times per IC day, or 1 time per IC time.

And there will only be shot to go at each easter egg. If I lay down a sniper rifle, you'll have 24 hours to tell me you want to join the fight for the sniper rifle. Then, immediately when the new day starts, that will be the first fight I write

[Talys]

Is it still a one weapon a person deal or would different rules enter for the eggs?

[Burter]

What do you mean? People have always been allowed to carry as much as physically possible

[Talys]

Doh. I didn't word that right at all. . .Will there be limits on the eggs able to be carried? Like say that it's understandable to be able to carry a handgun, a sniper rifle, and a rocket launcher (presuming one of the guns had a strap) or some other combination that I can't think of an example of, would they be allowed to? (Multiple eggs basically)

[Burter]

Assuming you werent injured at all, yes, you can carry a pistol, a sniper and a rocket launcher.

You can carry as much as you're physically able to

[Talys]

Sweet. . .but at the same time scary. . .

[Burter]

The pistol doesn't really equate, because you pocket that or put it in your bag. The big stuff is all I ever really consider

[Warako]

Quick question.

Assuming you decide on Easter Eggs over Chain Links for this DA. Will you be thinking of any other options to prevent alliances of 5+ people from forming as soon as the game begins?

It's worth a shot. XD

[Burter]

No. If that's the way people want to play, that's the way they'll play.

[Retane]

lol +5 People usually loose 2 people fast =D

[Raditzu]

Depends 100% on who the people in the group are.

What if there was a team of, say, Bardock, Bra, 17, Belle, and myself? Would you say we would be losing people fast?

[Retane]

Me? Personally? yes =D Someone would end up outshining another and so on... and after maybe 4 fights of the group im sure you'd have 3 major injuries and 1 dead person

[Raditzu]

Heh... alright. You're entitled to your opinion.

[Bojack]

I dont understand Retane's logic on that one.

[Bujin]

I'm sure it makes perfect sense to him.

Personally, I don't care what anyone says. That group would be downright scary.

[Burter]

Retane means that in a group, someone is always going to look better then the others. In this he's case, I think he's wrong but 90% of the time that's how it works

There's always a "best" and no one's denying that. The real question, for the sake of DA, is where or not one person simply "looking better" means those around him are going to die.

The long version of my response is that, though teaming will necessarily mean more of the spotlight goes to one person (unless Burter starts devoting the exact same amount of time to each person in a face-to-face; something that's both unfair and unreasonable to expect) than those around him, that, in-and-of-itself does not mean that those not "in the spotlight" are any more or less likely to die.

Its flawed logic based on an incorrect preconception.

[Burter]

I agree. There are several examples of groups who are so good that nobody has gotten hurt or killed.
