| =Outfit Wars - The Collector's Game=
| | #REDIRECT [[Classic:Outfit Wars]] |
| | |
| Outfit Wars is a game-within-game that [[User:Byakushin|Byakushin]] dreamt up one night.
| |
| | |
| ==Introduction==
| |
| | |
| The basic idea of Outfit Wars is that since our world is filled with ways to dress up in more or less challenging collections of equipment, i.e. [[outfit]]s, we can use those as a basis of soft player-versus-player battles and have some entertainment in the process. Different outfits defeat different other outfits, for example dressing up as a [[Pinkie]] will defeat an opponent dressed up as old Farmer [[Hinnak]] (or vice versa).
| |
| | |
| Are you thinking of Pokemon yet? I'm trying very hard not to think of Pokemon.
| |
| | |
| Outfits come in three different categories of difficulty: basic ones, like the Poor Newbie getup (just wearing the shirt you start with), challenging ones, like the Pinkie and Farmer Hinnak (as they involve rare drops), and rare outfits, like Santa Claus, which involve equipment that is either not acquirable, is only possible to get through periodical quests or by buying it for outrageous prices (typically from other players). You can haul around as many outfits as fits in your inventory; this limits the "deck" size slightly, while the quality is limited by the time the collector-players have invested in acquiring e.g. clothing of different colours and the rare and very rare drops.
| |
| | |
| ==Status==
| |
| | |
| I've noted down a bunch of outfits to start with, but the rules for which defeats which are even more work in progress.
| |
| | |
| In my opinion any outfit that the wearer can entertainingly justify to defeat the opponent's should work, but I fear not everyone shares my wild tendencies towards crazy theatrical improvisation. It would be interesting to see if there are others theoretically interested in playing this for fun and general amusement.
