Re: Shrink Ray Fight! [Forum Game]

Yeah health is important! Take all the time you need. =)

As for some of my ideas, the biggest one is that it seems hard to get more charges unless people are zapping you. Which is fine for the favorite targets like you and OhZone, but others might not get to have as much to do. What if in addition to the way getting shrunk recharges your zapper, it also can recharge from interaction in the thread? Something like every three posts or so builds up enough charge to zap somebody again. It would encourage people to be active posters I think.

The way some people like to keep your chest non shrinking made me think of this one, but maybe more options of effects along with the shrinking might be fun. Things like uneven reduction, or clothes not shrinking are popular themes here, but I also don't think its fun if its not something the shrinkee enjoys. Maybe when somebody throws their hat into the ring, they can list the options for others to use when zapping them. Breasts unaffected, shrinking out of clothes, and anything else a person might like can be listed. But its still up to the one targeting them if they choose to add that effect. And its all easy enough to note in the first page info splash/record keeping you include. =)

This may just be personal preference for fair play, but I think if you enter the ring to zap somebody, you open yourself to getting zapped automatically! Anyone who plays should be encouraged to be at risk. If not mandatory, encouraged.

If every shrink ray starts at 3 (or whatever number) charges, maybe some special effects for over charging? Purposefully saving shots and overboosting might lead to some special effects like a super shrink, a wide area shrink, or any of your already invented gadgets. =) Instead of the winner getting them, everyone could have access if they are willing to save up...And also, there should be a chance on any of the super moves to backfire =p
