Best Rewards Menu

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Mon Jul 22, 2019 11:51 pm

Hey everyone, so I got an idea for a mini game I wanna run (similar to A/E) but I wanna hear from you guys for some reward suggestions, the way the game is being run means that the rewards will be publicly known anyway so it's fine to discuss potential ideas but I wanna hear from everyone what your favourite rewards are, if you could make the ultimate Rewards Menu, what would you add to it

In before someone says idol xD

Super idol- as somebody who has died with a HII, I like the idea of having an idol without the risk of looking stupid
Vacation- I love getting to not actually play the game I signed up to play for a few rounds
Remove a juror- in the rare event I make the end, having one less person that hates me is always nice

I'm not buying anyone Pizza haha

If it helps btw, this is a rough draft of the Auction based rules, just so people get an idea of what types of items I'm looking for

I've already got a big list in my head of some items that I want in but hearing other players items would be awesome because the bigger the list the better

Auction Rules:
|12| At the beginning of the game every player is given 100 coins, there is no way of gaining more coins during the game
|13| At the beginning of every round until we get to the Final 5 a list of Reward Items will be posted, the items posted will be random from a much larger list, there will always be X/2 (rounded up) items available each round where X is the number of players left in the game (the full list will be public from the start of the game)
|14| Any items not bought during the round will stay on the list for the following round, any items that are used are immediately eligible for the following round
|15| Each round you may bid on 1 item, putting as many coins in as you wish, highest bid wins the item for that round and loses any coins put onto that item, if you're unsuccessful in your bid for whatever reason you gain your money back
|16| If there's a tie for the highest bid on an item than all bids fail and the item is put back out for the next round
|17| Unless otherwise stated, all items must be used on the round that they are bought and will effect that current vote, therefore when putting down a bid you must also state what you plan on doing with said item (e.g: Bid: 56 coins on the Immunity Idol to be played on CreativeMod1)

I really liked the Broken Idol we had in RtC, where you have a few of the same item and if one person owns every remaining piece in the game they get an idol (so they can either convince other people to give them the other pieces, or vote out the people with other pieces)

works really well as an auction item too because you can give them to the top X bidders where X is the number of pieces you want to be in the game

Or maybe you can idk

How about an uno reverse card

Target a player and if they’re voting you they vote themselves instead

Got the first 22 items in, I wanna try and get this list as long as possible to add to the randomness, I'm also purposely adding items that are similar but different so that there's potential for 2 items that are similar to end up on the same auction

Reward Auction Items:

1) Immunity Idol
2) Immunity Idol that must be played for someone else
3) Immunity Idol that must be played next round
4) Immunity for next round
5)  Target player loses 10 coins (doesn't effect till end of round)
5) Target player auto-fails their bid
6) Target Item is removed from Auction and any bids made against it this round will fail
7) Block a player from bidding next round
8) Steal a vote
9) Double vote
10) Block a vote
11) Pick an auction item from unused
12) Pick an auction item to be added to next round
13) Preview next auction list and remove up to 2 items
14) Target player has 1 less vote
15) Vacation next round
16) Remove a Juror
17) Add a Juror from last 3 pre-jury members
18) Receive an extra Jury vote
19) Target player has 1 less Jury vote
20) Broken idol
21) Target player takes a vacation next round (can't be yourself)
22) Immunity idol that can be played any round

What more should I add? Anything that anyone feels really strongly against (and with a valid mechanics based reason more than they personally don't like item) I wanna try and get every item in that works within the mechanics of the game

My argument against this is less about straight game mechanics, and more about the fact that those pre-jurors will be sequestered from spec access/have their commitment to the game on-hold until this reward is won. And when someone wins this, there's a decent chance the chosen pre-juror might have disengaged and have little interest in who wins at all.

this can be partially solved by having this item only be available in the premerge and have to be used at the round of the merge, it keeps the time sequestered to a minimum.
but yeah, having a juror who might not have met all the players can be an issue

Hmm yeah that could work...I was thinking of having some items only available at certain point anyway

Also similar to A/E I'm probably gonna have this as being a merge from the start
