Calvinball Discussion

Terex4 · 09-13-2004, 11:57 PM

I've started this in the interests of preserving calvinball. Issues as to how it should legally end have come up and the mods are wary of calvinball as it is.

So if anyone could help to clarify the rules (however few there may be) I'm sure that would help keep those of us who love killing each other over a ball happy.

rules schmules. There is a way of winning, which I have never bothered to concern myself with, however everything else is up for grabs.

So, is calvinball like the Calvin Ball game in Calvin and Hobbes? That would make it a lot simpler.

I guess. I haven't read the strip in ages and don't remember how it goes. But probably yes. Except more god-moddy, and with a randomness factor that, under favorable conditions, rests 20-30%.

Thanks, I think that I will play next time. It sounds like fun!

Basically there are no rules. Imagine calvinball from the strip with powers and lots of violence. However it seems we are in need of a few guidlines, hence this thread.

What do you propose? That there be an actual way to win?

I have one rule in mind...Don't post again so quiqkly!

I've played a variant of calvinball quite a long while ago. And believe me, you won't want to know what horrible tortures we put itn through. Digested, orbital bombarded, nukes, gravity shifts, lava, and even a fusion with a human. Crazy times. I kinda saw them throw every thing imaginable at it. It's that unbreakable.

And no godmoddy. If you take a dirt nap, you're out of the game until the next match or decide to respawn(Only up to 20 times).

God-moding is what ruined it last time. If it happens again, consider calvinball the victim of a natural 20 rolled by a forum berserker with a blade of +6/+6 vs spammy topics.
