Graalympics Idea

deman1171 · #1 12-08-2003, 01:01 AM

Hi there, this is just an idea i thought of.

But one of the most fun things on Graal are events, arcades, and things like that, and i just was thinking of an idea, since Graalympics is like a game server, instead of just having a yearly tournament... why not have towns filled with arcades, different event houses, and a whole overworld filled with different events, event houses, arcades, and things like weeklys tournmanents?

Sounds like one of those things that would be fun for a day then die off.

Like Graal 2001?

Just loads of 2 player games using Gscript would be nice.

Well, that might not be a bad idea. That would kind of take away from the fun of the annual celebration of Graalympus though.

Sounds like a nice idea.

yes...if people made Checkers and Chess and such into Gscript...they could also make some 4+ player games such as Scrabble and such (renaming it of course so you dont get shutdown).....It would be a nice games server. THen perhaps you could host weekly/monthly tourneys for each game.

Speaking of Graalympics, I wonder if Thym is still planning to do the winter games.

Crono · #9 12-08-2003, 09:49 PM

Chances are he is because he said so and hasn't told us that he's changed his mind. Then again, I'm just guessing.

I don't really think this is a good idea. Chances are it'll die off like most "new things". Survival of the fitest. :] (once again ignore my horrible spelling)

you didn't come up with that idea :grrr:

I DID! a long time ago I told you "hey wouldn't an amusment park world be cool" and you agreed, I still plan on doing it if I find people to make the games... I even had plans for remaking classic side scrollers like super mario world

Ouch, guess no one should share their ideas with her. But hey, maybe she forgot and thought of it again on her own.

Thak2 · #12 12-09-2003, 12:26 AM

Would be awesome if the winter games have bobsledding.

I always thought azuretek was a dude.... but oh well...

Anyways, making Graalympus a regular game server would take away the fun of the annuality of it....

I believe the, 'her' that that person was refering to was Emily.

deman1171 · #15 12-09-2003, 07:59 AM

Uh, yeah i forgot about that.
But azure, you just said amusment park, didnt know wtf that meant.
Anyway, an addon to my idea:

To keep it unboring, there could be a GIANT overworld, as big as old valikorlias... and have amusment parks with rides, cotton candy booths, things like arcades, events and event houses and new rides and booths that sell candy and things for hitting the balloons and stuff added every week, a giant event castle that keeps getting taller and taller,

I didn't just say "amusment park" specific ideas that you said are on it -.-

like just arcades and a bunch of games.... anyway, whatever... take the credit if you want, it's not like you care or will do it anyway...

thrashsoul · #17 12-09-2003, 04:38 PM

Ill do that in PL3, winter games in the mountain,summer games near the beach, and some carnivals, then theme parks

.
Most things would be easy to do but take a long time. The ripoffs games would be easy lol shoot and miss

. But you could make
mostly everything pretty good... I dont know about roller coasters thou x.x

But if i dont do it at least someone try too.

Awesome, that's a great idea.
Carnivals, fairs, birthdays, also a good Time/Day/night/calendar/weather system so you can have holidays and stuff.

oversized overworlds make me sick and want to leave, guess why...

THEY ARE FULL OF NOTHING

If there is going to be a huge overworld, rope it off or whatever untill there is stuff there, I don't care much for walking around for hours finding NOTHING

I feel for you friend.

I like exploring large overworlds, but only when the levels in it are finished, and far off places have some importance.

I kindof wish there was a server with a world so huge, that no one has explored it in its entirety.

You can do that without making it huge

You are very correct sir.

The last time I made something It was a 9x9 level castle. with 4 floors. It took hours to explore it. And you could still find little things all over you missed the first time.

I know, that's why i loved Doomsday, the levels had different jobs and quests and shops, and it was one of the hugest overworlds i have ever seen.. and the valikorlia before this one, damn that was big.. but now it's all gone..

also i like huge overworlds so theres lots of places to put stuff

Crono · #25 12-11-2003, 06:55 PM

emily, huge overworlds NEVER work out. I'm not saying that big overworlds don't work out, I'm saying HUGE ones don't. Usually what people do is spam the "blankness" with trees and leave it like that. It's very boring and repetitive.

thrashsoul · #26 12-13-2003, 07:09 PM

i hate big overworlds ... you keep going and going and going and you never find your destination.

Yeah, but that is because all the big overworlds you have ever played have been bland, and without a point. Walking so far seemed to have no purpose.

But, if a server had a huge overworld, complete with levels being unique and interesting, and important places scattered throughout the lands, it would just be awesome.

Exploration would always be an exciting thing to do, because it would come with finding new things, maybe things even that no one else has discovered. So many good things could come out of a large overworld being made nicely.

adam · #28 12-14-2003, 03:24 AM

Allow me to narrow this down a bit.

I don't hate big overworlds. I hate boring big overworlds with no content.

If they can *somehow* manage to fully load that large of an overworld with unique and interesting area's and places. Then sure.

But I have only ever seen that in small area's.
