New IotM plzkthxbai! Jason's hockey mask? Freddy's claws? Something that wouldn't require tons of thought for munk, but would be useful for everyone and halloweenyish to boot might be a very fun October item of the month.
I vote everyone brainstorms in this thread and munk picks an idea (or combination of ideas) he likes and runs with it all the way to the production line (of his brain)! Get crackin' guys, I know we have some seriously creative brainiacs in this crowd.
i would still love gloves that helped with pvp somehow, possibly increasing the range of the equipped weapon, or that moved you twice as far when you do move up to them.
I strongly dislike the idea of an ITOM that makes *winning* pvp fights easier, though an item that makes *starting* pvp fights might be fun.
How about this: Bully Button: A belt usable once per day to teleport you to the location of a random person space and automatically start a PvP fight with them (if no one is in space nothing happens and you can try again until a valid target exists). This will guarantee a PvP fight, but you might end up fighting someone in your Society, and since belts are among the most significant buffing items for PvP you'll be at a slight disadvantage by having to wear the Bully Button instead during the fight.
Well, the mechanics of the game automatically preclude PvP vs. someone in your own society. I'd imagine it would fail if no members of rival societies are in space. I also think maybe it would be a certain number of uses per day item, maybe 3 or something. Otherwise it's a good idea.
kinda of like the bounty device a little, ok so maybe we'll go the other direction?; maybe something that hides you from the bounty device? that way we can't track you for a number of turns?
Wasn't there another IOTM ideas thread? I could have sworn I submitted an idea there once. I haven't got a clue as to what the idea was, I just wanted to know if I was crazy or not about the other thread. Thanks.
Oh, and Bully Button sounds good in theory, but we have some players that absolutely hate pVp, and if they get randomly selected to do so while they are minding their own beezwax in space, I'm sure they will be extra nonplussed. But whatever is cool by me. I have no preferences.
Personally, I'd warn the one player I directly know 100% hates PvP and let her know that she may want to be planetside the next 5 minutes. :P
If I don't know the person, I can't know if they hate PvP. Extra incentive to be social across groups... Besides when you accidentally spot someone in space, you generally don't smail them and ask...Hey. Are you opposed to PvP? Either you already know that about them or you don't. Same principle.
How about a pumpkin head (or the name of it in a Slavic language) as the October IOTM? It would increase the chances of mining for pumpkins on Halloweenie.
Maybe it fits atop the ore mining tool? Or it could have other properties?
This might be faster and easier to do, and without having a big discussion about the ramifications on other players who don't care for pVp.
PvP is a part of the game. I say the button that auto teleports you and initiates is a good idea. Not everyone cares who likes or doesn't like PvP. if you do, you know the person(s) that is your reason for caution. shoot them a warning and go for it. lol
Okay, I have a super-simple thought about the next IOTM that sorta incorporates two-three IOTMs that currently exist. How about a Timenesium Triangle hat? It can be any shape and any name, I just kept it alliterative like the other parts of the "time suit/costume". Of course, I shouldn't jump-the-gun; whole Timenesium costumes might still be in need of belts, shoes, and eye wear.
We all seem to be clamoring for a new thingy to spend e-peen on, so let's get one. :D
ok heres another thought: "Tong's Random Inebriator" this handy dandy IOTM allows you to use it 5 times per day to get a random stat boost BUT also randomly gives you drunk or full from 1% to 100%; now the stat boost sounds too much but if it fills your drunk then you can't drink to get turns back, or if full takes away your turn gain for eating. i know you can still use the facilities but it still takes away from your uses a little. maybe it won't work if you're too full or drunk (like gambling) or something...have fun debating!
