I've been thinking about posting my mostly pointless wish list regarding what kind of MP games I would love to see happening at RB. Some of the setups I would maybe even be willing to play myself if the RL would allow it As said, the below list is mostly for my own entertainment, but maybe it can spur some discussion and give ideas for future events.
1. Duel tournament
- It has been a good while since the last RB duel tournament. Mirrored duel maps provide a chance for fair competition and it would be a good fun to see who prevails in e.g. a 16 player single/double elimination bracket. New interesting maps designed for each round, BTS or RBMod/RtR, some flavor for picking method, etc.
2. Massive Pitboss in co-operation with other Civ MP sites
- PB18 is still ongoing and I'm not aware of how various players and lurkers think about the game. But for me personally a large number of players is something that makes the game interesting. What I also consider interesting is seeing how different play styles clash and how well-known players compete with fresh faces. RB is not the only site that still has competitive MP games ongoing. E.g. Civforum.de has a massive 50+ player Pitboss in progress. I think with some advertising it might be possible to gather a good pool of reliable players and organize another massive showdown.
3. Vet Pitboss
- We organize separate green games, but otherwise everyone is welcome to join any other games. However, I would love to see e.g. a ~10 player Pitboss consisting of top RB players (say, players who come to mind when you try to name 20 best players in our community).
There are a fair few other interesting concepts such as the smurf game, modern start game as suggested by Tasunke and various team games, but I won't make my list too long..
