Not Quite Chinese Whispers [Inactive]
« on: May 03, 2016, 09:08:17 AM »
This is something I've wanted to do for a long time. Basically a crossover between NQRW and Chinese Whispers.
Of course I'm not sure how it would work in terms of components allowed but I was thinking we could have a couple of replicas allowed per team and have certain replicas banned.
E.g. Each team may veto 2 replicas from the pool of available components. Then each team may choose 2 from those remaining.

I'll need to write up a full set of rules but it should be DSL 2.2 HW with teams of 4 or 5 depending on numbers.

So, should it happen? I'm open to format suggestions and ways to control overpowered replica components.

Hey I'd love to enter this one.  Just, not as a captain this time.

In terms of replica parts, just ban the overpowered weapons used on certain replicas (i.e. Hworf Blades and the Shish-Kabot spike tip).  Other than than, I can't think of much that needs to be banned.
