First of all im not sure if its a good idea to run such debate in public, but sooner or later we will need some agreement. Anyway community input and possibly some clever ideas can be crucial.
So the point of this topic is to find scheme that will meet conditions of a league, at the same time being fun, complete and without unnecessary tweaks that makes gameplay chaotic and totally unpredictable. Hysteria variation with turn time extended to 3 seconds and reworked weaponry sounds the most optimal as mentioned multiple times in other topics. Those who wonder how it plays may see some replays from recent Aerial cups/tournaments.
First i'll write down my proposition as for a start (note that its just a raw starter without any testing) and everyone is welcome to suggest any change, but please lets stay rational and try to not go above the limits. Too little can make the game repetitive and too much will make it overwhelming/chaotic. So, here it goes:
--------------------------------------------
Jetpack - Inf.
Low Gravity - Inf.
F1Bazooka - Inf.
F2Grenade - Inf.
F3Shotgun - Inf.
Uzi - ? - that one could be useful but for now, without deeper testing ill leave it empty
Longbow - ? - as above
F4Fire Punch - Inf.
Kamikaze - 1 - im aware of this weapon being too powerful in some situations, however imagine the beautiful Jetpack-Kami combos
F5Mine - Inf.
Dynamite - 1 - delay 2 turns for the sake of not going too mad at the beginning
Mole - 3 - situational weapon, hardcore darksiders must be aware of that one
F7Blowtorch - Inf.
Pneumatic Drill - situational
Girder - 3 - good addition for darksiding, also short timer makes its use tricky
F8 Teleport - 5
F9Flamethrower - 1
F10Petrol - 3
F11 Granny - 1 - delay 2 turns
F12Select Worm - 1 - just 1 as a counter or rescue in some situations
OtherStarting Energy - 100
Land Objects - Mines - 8
Mine fuse - 3s
Round lenght - 2min
Turn Lenght - 3sec
Hotseat - 10sec
Land/Rope retreat - 5sec
Crates - None
Placement - Random
Sudden Death - Medium water rise
Number of worms - 4 or 6

Just for the record - there is no rush and im aware that this case can be forgotten quickly and many people wont bother to participate, i just hope that something really good can come out of this one. When time is right we may host some cups to gather the better replays / dig scheme flaws / anything that will push it into perfection. I strongly believe that its the proper way to go and one day we will see it in classic league.
Ideas!
