FML Weekly WTF FFA Games!

[Persuade]

Greetings everyone!

Based on previous success during season 12 for "fun" type ffa's where we limit the rules to be very restrictive on the players, I am happy to announce that I will be hosting, or, at least representing a weekly ffa game on either Saturdays or Sundays where we make up silly rules to hopefully bring out exciting games for our viewers and players.

I call these games the WTF FFA games, because the rules will be so bizarre that anything can and will happen.

This thread will serve first and foremost as a way to see if people are geniuinely interested in playing these, as well as a way to brainstorm fun ideas for future possible games. 

Please feel free to post ideas of what you think would be a fun way to restrict the ffa gametype, (not too much now, as that might just be plain boring), to ensure maximum chaos and craziness.

Some ideas I had.

- Entire Map revealed
- Editing a small map by tripling the number of players, such as Echo Isles to include 6 starting locations.
- Editing a map to remove food cap and/or upkeep.
- Restricting certain hero usage
- Restricting air usage
- Restricting teching
- Mercs & Heroes only
- No heroes at all
Personal favorite - Editing the starting town hall to include all 4 workers.  Enabling all players to quad race off the bat.


Etc.

Generally we want 6 players minimum, 8-12 players max, to reduce the possibility of a long boring game.  (These games are generally for fun and for the spectators, thus forcing players not to hoard and force long 3-4 hour stalemates.)

So before I schedule the first game I would like to hear everyone's opinion on these types of games, as well as ideas we could possibly include.




Game 2 has been decided.

Game title - Perfect Composition

It will be hosted Sunday @ 1 PM EST (1900 CET).

The map will be Divide and Conquer, any number of players welcomed, but it is a first come first serve basis.

The rules have been applied to include:

- No Restrictions
- Starting Hall now has one of EACH worker, allowing for quad tech off the bat. 
- Goldmines increased to hold 50% more gold.

SOmeone suggested intelligence hero only.

With your idea of 4 starting workers, we could have some fun hero combos like lich-potm-sh or something

[Magadansky]

I am down for whatever wtf ffa!

Potm is an agility hero, not intel.

I'm in.  The ones that really interested me so far:

Remove upkeep, reveal entire map, merc armies only (would have to edit the map to allow more of them or something) 

Good job with this Pers, I would suggest doing it on Sunday since as a whole that seems to be the day most people are available most often.

Even though Ugri has already replied to this, I reckon he intended those to be read as two different comments, in other words, he was suggesting the idea of Intel heroes only, and then as an aside mentioning you could do various crazy hero combos with the four different starting workers. Anyway, I'm sure it doesn't hurt to make fun of Ugri a bit :) You might not be laughing if he dominates with that combo though ;)

Game 1 has been decided.

Game title - Crazy Creeping

It will be hosted Sunday @ 12 PM EST (1800 CET).

The map will be Twilight Ruins, any number of players welcomed, but it is a first come first serve basis.

The rules have been applied to include:

- No Restrictions
- Every creep has been modified to drop a rune of rebirth in addition to the regular drop

[Redkeekee]

persuade wants to not look dumb hosting this.

[FML|Mage]

I would but I can't :(

[Redkeekee]

I play but leave at 1:15 so hope everyone dies fast ^_^

[Clownzor]

How about caster/siege only? So by race, the restrictions are:

Elf: Glaives/DOTT/DOTC
Orc: WD/Shaman/Demo
UD: Meatwagon/Necro/Banshee
Hu: Sorc/Priest/Mortar

UD would also be allowed to build shades, and elf can build hunts at T2 for sentinal but not use them in combat.

Although at first impressions elf might seem imba with DOTC, remember banshee/sorc are excellent counters.

Frankly I just want to see UD mirrors in this format, screens full of skeles!

[Redkeekee]

what about spirit walkers?  Orc have most diverse army seems imba.
