Chris Friebus aka Shutyertrap came up with an idea to try out in the chat room the other night. 5 minute points race, similar to what zen has with point limit reached first but this would be in TPA chat room the rules as follows....
Here's how we were playing 5 minute pinball...
Using the time next to our posts in the chatroom, a start time would be established. For example a typical post would look like this...
(19:32)<shutyertrap>hey guys, what's happenin'?
So I'd say, start time for game is :35, post score no later than :41
That way you had 5 minutes to play, 1 minute to get your score up.
Table was picked maybe a minute or 2 before actual start. At say :34, I'd confirm everyone was ready, and once everyone checked in, I'd say go. The idea is to only play one game. If your game ends before 5 minutes, that's your score. If you are still playing at the end of 5 minutes, let the ball drain and that is your score.
Winner got to pick next table, which usually started 4 minutes later, or in this example, at :45, posting by :51.
'Twas fun, frenetic, certain strategy normally used went right out the window, and eventually there was name calling!
Since some of us were on PS3, AFM / Genie was our stopping point for game selection. So dems the basic rules, let's have fun with it, and maybe we can get one of the FarSight lads to come into the chatroom and witness the fun (so they could maybe implement something like it for an online mode).
I would also like to see a TEAM mode where both points are combined. I think that restarting your game is a gamble that not only cost you time but will cost you points so maybe a restartable option could be announced before the match starts. Hope to see you guys in here its REALLY FUN! It gets the heart pumping and adds a new twist to your game. FS PLEASE MAKE THIS A MODE! the timing can be tricky thats where we need you.
