MP: SnobsLand, "HoFers" only game, [brainstorm]

[Lingchih]

The Hall of Famers, don't see much reason to play anymore, since they can beat anyone. Granted, using new mods, such as the EDM, they might be challenged. But, I don't see much interest in it (apart from new and intermediate gamers).

Of Course, Baalz will play anything.

I would probably play, just for the challenge. But I'm in no way a HoFamer. Just a longtime player.

ano, when R U back from vacation?

I don't know anything about my vacation yet at all
But Lingchih seems to be right

Perhaps you should advertise it 'For TOP players only' or something like that.

There may be some out there that would like to play and either think they are good enough and ready to take on the big boys, or they ARE top players but are not in the HOF (maybe thy have come in second a few times etc).

Not talking about me, but I can think of a few....

Aethyr, I don't really like duels that much. Dominions is not chess. It's meant for multiple human opponents and I like to play it that way. So, I prefer not to go in the direction of duels.


GrudgeBringer, I've already changed the OP and as it stands, it reflects exactly what you said. I think I'll also change the thread subject as well. Anyway, plz spread the word about this game to "top" players

[Lingchih]

I would think you would have to put a special Carrot up for grabs, Wraith, to get the old-timers to play. Like... Dom3 Champion, or something.

Lingchih, I'm afraid if I do that the game won't be any fun. Players will be even more competitive, prone to spend time on MM and diplo than ever before and will basically work, not play through this game.

What is more rewarding, to have a fun, casual game and lose or work like hell to get a shot at being all time dom3 champ?- Note that being dom-3 champ won't get you tons of ggg - girls, gold and glory, you won't even get free beer, so why bother?

[Aethyr]

Cool idea WL. Maybe that fertile mind of yours will be able to dream up a variation on the theme that will get some traction.

[Psycho]

The idea is fine, I would play. Free time is the problem and the fact that summer started. When I started playing Dominions I didn't do anything - had just finished studies and didn't start working yet, I had loads of free time so I played 3-4 games simultaneously. Now, I have time for only one, or at most two small games. I am afraid that even with the slow pace, I might end up asking for delays and slowing the game for others.

Thanks Aethyr.
I think publishing a list of first 30 HoF positions is not a good idea. Instead the game should be opened to everyone who considers himself an HoFer (whatever that means ), by virtue of skill, experience or ego

Psycho, I'm counting you in

Lingchih, what about you?- not playing anymore?
Edit, you tempt me to throw that carrot in, you know, proclaim the winner as first among firsts, overlord of all that is dominonesk, the shining light in the dark yadda yadda
Stop! must not give in to said temptation who creeps slowly and corrupts rapidly
no carrots I say!
