Have you ever played Final Fantasy? or any other great game..
They all have a mini ganme inside the game. Such as a card game or some such.
I think EFU:A is no diferent, it needs a mini game.
Cards or something.
Post your ideas for a mini game here.
I was thinking use blank paper and write out character class eg:
Rogue
Fighter
Wizard
etc..
Rogue beats Wizard
Wizard beats Fighter
Fighter beats Rogue
You could then play the game in the barter screen.
Could also bet gold in the same screen.
Everyone lays down the card at the same time.
Whomever has the one that wins gets a point.
Then could move onto pressteige(SP?) class eg:
Rogue turns into assassin
Wizard turns into pale master
Fighter turns into weapon master.
etc..
First to three points wins the match.
I think its still a work in progress. but could be made easily and everyone has access to the blank paper.
There are mini games already, like Royal Dragon.
And Darts if you count it.
And the Pillars and Disks game.
LTS, your avatar is starting to creep me out again.
Rock, dynamite with cutable wick, scissors.
Behemoth, I need to know where you live.
Actually, the DM's made a joke on this in the Guildhouse in the Zig mian, just above the forgeworks, if you are able to look.
There's even a card game for sale if you want to make up your own in-game pocker.
There are some really cool games that would fit the setting well. I think anything that helps keep people logged in (especially in the Aussie time frame) would be an excellent addition.
Liar's dice, more card games, other dice games and even slot machines. Maybe a scripted arena where people can spar, watch NPC spars or even face off against some NPCs with betting and odds.
Knifey Spoony.
I'd like some sort of arena where you could fight enemies in waves each time becoming harder, and were provided with potions and items for free that would disapear as soon as you leave the arena, you would gain no gold or XP but it wouldn't be lethal, so if you die no loss is had. that would be an awsome not-so-mini minigame.
Barbarian beats everything.
I'd be all for this...
More "mini-games"
I also wouldn't mind if they were blatantly ripped off from real life or other games, a la Royal Dragon and Blackjack.
If any of you find a suitably themed website for a new little one off mini-game styled event for characters to play in, I am all for it!

PROTECT THE MOTHERSHIP!
Have a quest that, upon entering a portal in a wizard's lab you go into an illusionary version of the colony gates and are attcked by orcs/nightrisers or whatever and you must defend it, you can't die and there is no XP involved, but each time you succed you get a random reward, also each time the dificulty increses.
Stop suggesting zero-risk stuff.
But that's the point of it being a mini-game. If it were full risk, then it involves supplies, XP, gold and more than a single player at the party.
In wich case, i'd propose a quest with a more serious tone: actually defend the gates of "something" from "someone"
Mean ideas all of them.
I was thinking though something more like a card game, but not 'just' a card game something like yugioh or along the lines of a card game like that. something that can.. 'Move mountains' hah.
The DemonCards module is scripted to work basically as a yu-gi-oh in real time. I'm sure adam miller woudln't mind EFU:A to copy and use scripts. And it would be incredibly awsome.
DemonCards can be dowloaded from the vault, in case any is curious.
Damn straght.
How would we go about making this happen i wonder?
Someone should or somepeople should make Card Dealer Characters.
Hmm...

I like the idea of NPC spars that you can bet on sort of like a colloseum or the arena if anyone has played oblivion.
why not just have pcs spar and organize betting yourself?
I do that with my monk down at the docks in the tavern.
I think Arena and barbarian would be the ever best, have you quest that, before trying lock up your windows and shut your doors, i hope you will enjoy, hahahaa
