While at work earlier today, waiting for the useless customers they are to pick up, I got in thinking about the UCA and trying to find a better way to determine #1 Contenders for championships. What came to mind is a sort of store where players can save up their wins and cash them in on a variety of different prizes. Discussing this with IR, I don't know if this will be made or not. The store I have in mind would appear something along the lines of this:
Championship Matches
- 10 wins for UCA Championship Match
- 6 wins for Brawler Championship Match
- 6 wins for Tag Team Championship Match (along with a willing partner)
- 6 wins for Robotica Championship Match
Then there would be other things players could win. Now for some of these, I'd have to discuss with Hayes because, in my perfect world, he'd be able to help with these 'cause I'm sure there would be a bit after a while...
- 5 wins for a black and white sketch of one of your UCA kaiju (done by myself or Hayes)
- 8 wins for a colored picture of one of your UCA kaiju (done by myself or Hayes)
Now for my personal favorite of these "other prizes"...
- 15 wins for another monster slot. Players can get up to 6 extra spaces for monsters before this becomes out of reach.

...so, you use the points for another monster slot? ..I like it. Though not 100% on board. It seems like something all the other forums have done with kaiju. Win points, buy things... But adding more monsters sounds awful damn fun.

I'd be totally willing to help draw prizes. Would be my pleasure.
And this idea is rather neat. Would definitely add a new level of organization and motivation. Only problem I can see is that some people are more concerned with stories/plots than actually winning, so this might be a bit unfair to them.

I think, so long as communication is made between mods/admins, most storylines could lead to championship matches as well. |

Hm, good point. So then, there'd would be two styles to get a championship match: build a story or gather enough points.
Pretty groovy, I think.

While this does sound sorta fun... It just feels so... Video Gamish, and not something fit for a "staged" Fighting Arena place... I'm on the fence, but leaning toward "no thanks"

You guys aren't getting more monster slots. Most people barely even use the 10 they already have.

Yeah, then I'm not running this store then. So scratch the whole idea then.

The problem I have with this idea is that, while interesting, it feels more like something you would see in a video game than a text based game. It just doesn't feel right for the UCA.

I'm not keen on getting more slots (trying to use the ones I have is trouble enough). But I kinda like the idea of being able to ensure a shot at the title through victory points or something. Kind of a "Hey, look! I'm tough and strong, I deserve a shot." thing.

Kind of a "Hey, look! I'm tough and strong, I deserve a shot." thing. Indeed, and I agree. But I'm not keeping track of everyone's victories and such if IR's cutting out out the second biggest thing in the store. Not everyone needs to go for the extra monster slots (those would be something desired by folks that have TONS of kaiju to bring to the game, such as myself, Hayes, Ak, etc), that's why there's options of different things. I wouldn't have even posted this thread if he would have simply said "no" to the buyable monster slots, like he did a few other things, when I pitched him the idea He already cut out a handful of other ideas, including "rule breaking passes" and an extra hit in one post. You haven't been to many RPGs, have you? |

It feels kinda pointless to add a store in here. I mean, it's a bit cool that you can get yourself into a championship, but otherwise, it feels a bit out of place, seeing this is a fighting arena and not an Adventure RPG. Besides, how would you keep track of points? And how many points does winning a match net you?

Besides, how would you keep track of points? And how many points does winning a match net you? He says wins are what you'd buy things with in the original post. No mention of points. But yeah, that's my main hangup with this whole store idea in the first place. Keeping track of everyone's wins would be a major pain, and it would just get worse after they've made purchases. |

I love the idea of earning enough wins = shot at a championship title. Instead of waiting who knows how long for the same tournament or opportunity be offered again, like the Tag Team Championship for example. But yeah, that's my main hangup with this whole store idea in the first place. Keeping track of everyone's wins would be a major pain, and it would just get worse after they've made purchases. post a thread like that and keep track. Everyone posts and keeps track of their stuff, but even if staff had to do it, I don't see how it is outside the duties and responsibility of the staff, especially to an owner of the site. |
