Discord Forum Board

pinkpuff4 months ago

In a world where weeklies get implemented maybe this is part of it, a weekly board is generated but the challenge is which line is fastest to do. Just spitballin

JakiNickOP4 months ago

good idea too!

JakiNickOP4 months ago

could also be an achievement

ffz4 months ago

i think having games of different lengths similar to chess would be cool

ffz4 months ago

like first to 7 / first to 10 / first to 13

JakiNickOP4 months ago

instead of that i was also thinking a specific pattern but thats cool too!

ffz4 months ago

yea pattern is probably a better idea for more variety / forcing end game goals instead of just early game goals

JakiNickOP4 months ago

i guess there could be an issue of when theres no more lines cuz all of it is blocked

JakiNickOP4 months ago

but maybe when playing against someone were not quicker than them exactly but quicker to get a line

JakiNickOP4 months ago

so someone can still get a goal even if we were faster

JakiNickOP4 months ago

i was also thinking adding to this ^ that you can block lines and it would go to a usual lockout

JakiNickOP4 months ago

or even goals that could be taken back but that would require making much more objectives

Deadknight944 months ago

I think a mode where the wincon is a line/row/diagonal at first and, if all are blocked, first to 13 would be really fun

3

JakiNickOP4 months ago

yeah exactly what i was thinking

closure4 months ago

I think this would only work if the pool was adjusted

closure4 months ago(edited)

Cause a lot of goals are pretty far out of the way of a good line and it might not be very fun to stretch yourself super thin to a far away or RNG goal just to try and block your opponent

JakiNickOP4 months ago

it could be exciting and also u have to pick the line correctly

JakiNickOP4 months ago

maybe also a way to reroll a draft?

JakiNickOP4 months ago

if 2 are not really fun there could be a way to reroll it

Deadknight944 months ago

I think that's exactly the point though

Deadknight944 months ago

if you manage to force an opponent to have to block your line with a really far goal you're free to shoot for either 'another line or 13

Deadknight944 months ago

also line wins over 13 goals, if you get 13 but the opponent has a line open still, you dont' win until you block it

5

JakiNickOP4 months ago

i havent even thought that far but what about time limit with this then?

JakiNickOP4 months ago

if it can go to 13 and still you cant win because you dont have a line, it can go far longer than a normal competetive game

JakiNickOP4 months ago

i think maybe a one hour time limit would be best for this but idk

JakiNickOP4 months ago

depends also on what do we do when game goes to this state

Deadknight944 months ago

I mean if you’re not forced to block lines to win by majority there’s no point in the lines or the strategy to force blocks

closure4 months ago

this really wouldn't be a quicker gamemode is my point

closure4 months ago(edited)

there's only 12 lines on the board and every goal blocks up to 2-3 lines

closure4 months ago

just making it normal bingo on a random board would be fine

closure4 months ago

unless this should be an even more intensive side mode

muttonfish4 months ago

maybe a 3x3 bingo for super fast games?

JakiNickOP4 months ago

3 goals to win is way too little

Torca4 months ago

Tic tac toe where it’s 3x3 and you get to pick where your goal goes lol

Deadknight944 months ago

The slowest it could possibly be is a 12-13 score, which is true rn. If a line wins it’s a shorter game. So it would be as fast as right now and sometimes faster

closure4 months ago

but you'll likely be forced to play the board differently to block certain goals which will usually lead to a longer game

Deadknight944 months ago

It’s surely a different game mode

TheForsakenFurby4 months ago(edited)

i woud absolutely love a bingo gamemode, but if it's still drafted they should probably change the drafting method. the current format would bias the game in favor of the first player to draft, as they would decide ALL of the goals to go on both diagonals (as opposed to horizontal and vertical lines which would be created by both players)

Deadknight944 months ago

Could be a fixed center square from a pool and draft the rest

JakiNickOP4 months ago

wdym?

Deadknight944 months ago

Like the center square, sitting on 4 lines, is pivotal for bingos. Instead of being drafted, it is automatically picked by the game on draft start. This balances number of drafts between players

awesomeSallad4 months ago

Somebody is still going to have control over the rest of the diagonals, which is bad

Deadknight944 months ago

Maybe change the order the board is filled idk

JakiNickOP4 months ago

@MeXVII

maskers3 months ago

stealing the idea from another gamemode, you could balance the board to have one "hard" objective on each line, and select a "harder" hard objective for the middle square

MeXVII3 months ago

hello

JakiNickOP3 months ago

hi you know why i tagged u right

MeXVII3 months ago

no idea actually XD

JakiNickOP3 months ago

u suggested this gamemode

JakiNickOP3 months ago

so i tagged you on my suggestion that i did first so you can support it

MeXVII3 months ago

ohhhh, cool. sorry for copying you XD

JakiNickOP3 months ago

allg

TwoQuantumBits3 months ago

maybe we can have tiered draft

TwoQuantumBits3 months ago

so my idea is something along the lines of each side gets like the same number of squares of each level of importance

TwoQuantumBits3 months ago

so both side get 2 squares each on each diagonal, then 8 squares each on the squares that are not diagonal, and then the middle can either be random or a ban draft

here's my idea for the draft sequence

TwoQuantumBits3 months ago

basically the idea is that Blue will still be before Red, but the draft order is different

TwoQuantumBits3 months ago(edited)

it starts with the two "T-piece" areas of each side first, with the easiest pool of goals (let's call it pool A)

TwoQuantumBits3 months ago(edited)

then the diagonals, with harder goals (pool B)

TwoQuantumBits3 months ago(edited)

and center will be a 3-goal draft of the hardest goal pool (pool C), with Red getting first ban, and then Blue picking from the remaining two

TwoQuantumBits3 months ago

also this might be diabolical but I'm thinking 45' with 15' overtime

JakiNickOP3 months ago

i think it would require playtesting to figure out the time limit

TwoQuantumBits3 months ago

yeah definitely

TwoQuantumBits3 months ago

but how are we supposed to do that

JakiNickOP3 months ago

idk maybe someone smart can figure out the time limit instead waga

0

TwoQuantumBits3 months ago

I mean we need to playtest this mode at all

TwoQuantumBits3 months ago

and the current code does not let people import boards so

TwoQuantumBits2 months ago

WAKEY WAKEY IS TIME FOR SKOOL- I mean, we have custom boards now

JakiNickOP2 months ago

yay suggestion under consideration

Poevin2 months ago

you should be able to choose the number of rows

TwoQuantumBitslast month

hmmmmm

TwoQuantumBitslast month

so any chance we are testing this out

Deadknight94last month

I was just thinking that there’s not really a point to having a “bingo board” without being able to score lines right? Draft out might as well have a list of goals in a row…
Bingus needs to be bongus

TwoQuantumBits4 weeks ago

I mean for my idea it's just first row wins

TwoQuantumBits4 weeks ago

I wrote a whole article on linelocking on the Gridlock server back before their qualifiers there and I think that can work in this context

TwoQuantumBits4 weeks ago(edited)

basically:
- first line wins
- if both sides linelocked, revert to normal Draftout (first to 13 wins)

Deadknight944 weeks ago

Yeah that’s in the initial idea for sure. Line wins, else majority.
The draft needs to be worked out
Center square should be picked by the game (maybe from a set of set squares)
And then draft can’t be alternating A-B otherwise we get player A picking diagonals which is OP

TwoQuantumBits4 weeks ago

draft can alternate A-B but the sequence will be different

TwoQuantumBits4 weeks ago

I'm not sure which layout would be the best but I think I did post some above

TwoQuantumBits4 weeks ago

^

Deadknight944 weeks ago

Yeah I didn’t explain myself properly, I meant the order of squares picked can’t be the same as right now

cozyton3 weeks ago

bingo would be so funn
