Hello everybody, next sunday 15th at 15:00 GMT I will be hosting a tournament of a scheme is somehow remotely similar to BnG.
One of the goals is (through testing) get to a scheme with a BnG feeling but without rules that can be bended by lame players. Maybe after perfectioning it could be a good stepping stone to get more people to like BnG.
This is the post announcing it:
http://nnnclan.freeforums.org/1st-not-bng-tournament-2009-02-15-15-00-gmt-pt-t296.htmlAnd, if you don't mind reading a bit more, I'd like to add a few things I've noticed while playing it in the last few days:
-You can prevent your opponent from repeating shots without re-aiming by moving your worm before shooting (yep, you can move to a different hide before you shoot).
-If the 4s max power shots annoy you, feel free to use a girder above your head so that he will have to break the girder before he can go on with the 4s shots, or try a different kind of shot. Or you can use a nice petrol bomb on your opponent, so that he can't go back to the same spot he was standing before.
-If your opponent likes sitters, then simply don't hide in the bottom of a hole

.
-You can go out in the open to have a clear shot, but be careful because you will be giving your opponent a clear shot too (no retreat time).
Of course, I am not good at BnG and probably never will, so skilled BnGers are needed to test this.
Lame players who are really good at bending the rules are welcomed too, there aren't any rules to bend here, but people like this can help testing if the scheme can take it.
Cheers, and have fun.
