Chess

[Disco]

We have dart, and card games, and fishing. Do people even use this?! The answer is no.
I bet it will be the same with chess.

There were rat fights in UD. Great way to 'challenge an opponent' in a different way. You could supposedly capture rats, breed rats, train them. Neat stuff.

I'm not even sure it worked, because no one ever used it.

But that's the kinda mini-game i'm all in for. It's immersive, it's fair, it's involving and has a nice developpement and side trecks to it.

It's not just 'let's add more RL games on the server for those who are bored when they don't quest' or who are afraid to PvP for conflict.

Not even counting the actual playing time of a scripted chess-like game, even if you play blitz.

The rat fighting was never finished, but was tested a few times, as I recall.

Magical cock fights would be more in-line with the EFU:A setting. Chickens occasionally using Burning Hands and scorching spectators? Way more awesome than either chess or rat fights.

I totally want to see that but I imagine NPC hostiling due to the area of effect from the burning hands would be a nightmare to deal with >_>

Waste of time, unless someone, oneday, gets the yen to script it.

Loque.
