[Spoon-business] Proposal: Flag

[Daniel Lepage <dplepage@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I propose a Rule:
{{
__The Flag__

There exists a carryable, passable MO called The Flag. If a player is 
carrying the flag, e may be referred to as the Flagbearer. If the 
Flagbearer is in a square whose x and y coordinates are both in the set 
{10,11}, then e gains 800 BNS and the flag is moved to a random Edge 
Square.
If the Flagbearer is targeted by an Abuse, the Flag is moved to a 
random square within 3 of the Flagbearer.

If the square containing the flag is hit by a Can of Whoopass, the Flag 
is leaves all objects' possessions and becomes Assed In. The player who 
threw said Can is said to have Assed the Flag Thing In. While the Flag 
is Assed In, it may not be picked up, nor may it be moved. This 
supersedes any other rule which would allow it to be moved.

One nweek after the Flag Thing is Assed In, or when the player who 
Assed the Flag Thing In occupies the location of the Flag Thing, the 
Flag Thing ceases to be Assed In.

}}

It's a new subgame, to replace Football.

One of the things I never liked about Football was that it had so many 
exceptions built into it - Football players moved differently, couldn't 
use all the same movement aids as everyone else, and were generally 
working differently from the rest of us.

The goal here is to make a new subgame that relies for its 
interestingness on the natural chaos of the Grid. I envision a massive 
melee battle, with numerous explosions and general violence.

I also hope that this will stimulate the creation of new Grid objects, 
specifically, weapons and defense. I'd also like to see anything that 
becomes overly powerful as a result of this fixed by countermeasure 
objects. I mean, instead of just banning Football players from using 
Airways, I would have liked to see, say, anti-air turrets that could do 
unpleasant things to incoming Football wielders, that teams could set 
up around their endzones.

How do people feel about this?
