Blockade - The most epic sub-game since spleef!

Post by jlcresp »

Well, I was messing around with Spire7 building a dirt cage around someone, and we had a great idea! It's always fun to try and trap rbos in a dirt/cobble cage, so why not make an arena to chase each other around and try to trap the other player? Well, with the help of MrEpicLegendzz and StandaxXx, we made an arena. Together we drafted some rules / concepts, but I'm really too tired to list them at the moment.

Basically, get some dirt/cobble and try to trap the other player so that they cannot move. You are not allowed to destroy blocks, you can only place them.

Rules will follow soon.

Once we have worked out some rules for it, we plan to build a massive blockade facility nearby to the MNTC.

Think about it, and let the games begin!

That'll be too hard. Think about it, 5 or so guys running around, and you're supposed to trap them...
If you build one block near someone then they'll just go away before you get the chance to build the other 7 or so blocks around him.

We have run some trial games in our arena with 2v2 teams and its hard initially, but pretty soon it gets easier. Basically, the arena rules at this stage are an 8x8x8 cube per player. So for our 2v2, we had a 16x16x8 room. The height limit is very effective at making it harder to escape. You should come on and try it with us sometime.

Because you are not allowed to destroy blocks, the blocks build up within the arena, and you quickly find that you are jumping over gaps that if you accidentally fall down, someone will most likely trap you.

We had buckets of fun with it, and there is something scary about being buried alive... even if it is in a game. :D
