Title: FFA?
Post by: Statik on November 08, 2011, 10:47 AM
Well, this can sound like a crazy idea, but why not allow more than 2 teams in TUS games? ;D AFAIK it is called FFA (Free For All), so 3 or 4 people can play at once (our lovely hysteria for example), but only 1 team wins and gets huge points. Others lose only few points (compared to 1vs1). I would try this for fun.. Dunno what do you think about this :D

This would not work in my opinion.
First of all, some schemes are playable only as 1v1 (or 2v2 etc.).
Secondly, good players would have a really hard time standing against a bunch of opponents possibly wanting to get rid of them in every match. :P

Only scheme I could possibly imagine this working flawlessly is roperace.

I've never been a fan of 3-way-games. It often ends with all 3 teams being on low health and whoever kills one team, gets killed by the other in the very next turn. Sucks imo.

this. And I played quite a bunch of silly 3way FFA WO tournaments :D
It's ok for any race scheme, though.

Yes, it is also hard to imagine 3vs3 elite, but it is not forbidden tho :P FFA can be a separate league with it's own schemes and rules (and ratings of course!).

And I know "pro" players accept only duels ;D

3v3 would actually have only 2 sides xD make it 1v1v1v1v1v1 elite!

Why do you think about elite or other classic schemes? Hysteria, Kaos, races, maybe even shoppa & wxw are fine :P
Title: Re: FFA?
Post by: Random00 on November 08, 2011, 01:07 PM
There's no point in having a league for ffa hysteria or kaos, cause the winner is rarely the best player in those schemes. You Should simply play these type of games for fun and not for the win. ;)

to win 3-way shopper need to count how hp's going, skip few turns, plop few your worms, somtimes pile your worm with leaders to get lower hp and do whatever will be need. New side of tactic in shopper :D

I think it could work in any scheme with some fine tuning. Would be an interesting new style for a league as well. As long as it was it's own separate thing I see no reason as to why not.

Boomrace would be fun in FFA that's for sure  ;D

If words aren't enough, here's some more of my awesome Paint skills. xD

Imagine they're all three in an un-knockable, safe hide, separated from each other. Shotgunning isn't possible. You kill one of them. The other one kills you. How are you gonna win this? Seriously?

And what do you gain by hitting yourself or skipping? Everyone's gonna skip. Great solution. xD
Title: Re: FFA?
Post by: Impossible on November 08, 2011, 02:07 PM
what about knock them a bit, make damage around 10, and then damage yourself a bit by fd

q
by selfattacking you dont let stay yourself as leader, by skipping you collecting weaps, maybe its possible to kill 1/block with petrol another ;)

darkz, statik, go ag I wanna try this XDDdd

It's stalemate. You won't win unless one of your opponents does a very (very) stupid mistake. If your opponents aren't completely dumb they're gonna do what's smartest in that situation - nothing.

Just not gonna work.

It can work only in TTRR (Classic League) and Roper Race, Golf, Boom Race, Bungee Race, Parachute Race ... (Free League)

Of course it can, but I mean some tactical schemes, where FFA can bring new strategies and styles of playing (e.g. Kaos).

ops. I quoted my message instead of modifying, so ignore this one ;D
Title: Re: FFA?
Post by: Impossible on November 08, 2011, 03:37 PM
the only 3-way kaos tactic is that you just look how opponents kills another, when you just collecting, and then kill both to end of game.
oh, it was my secret  ;D
Title: Re: FFA?
Post by: rU` on November 08, 2011, 04:37 PM
this thread is pointless. As mentioned above, this would work only with racing modes. What I do when I play my weekly shopper with newbies is using only bazooka until we are all with low health, then I do falldamage myself to reach 1 or 2 hp and then drop my 5 cows/2 nanas in the next turns so I finally win xD 1vs1vs1 makes no f@#!ing sense.

This is idea is worthless, its not league friendly at all.  Go play a fun game, any of what you have proposed is available there.  Don't understand peoples obsession with making everything into league.

Why so serious :-X Do I have an obsession? I don't play leagues at all, except clanners ::) Also read the first post, I wasn't serious, just wanted to see what people think about it. Peace.

who said if all 3 ppl agree they cant play 3-way, and then report it as usual 1v1, put winner who won 3-way, and looser who was last xd
Or winner report 2 games (win 2nd and 3rd) 2nd report game since he won looser, and looser (just suck and look how much points he lost)
