So, here's what I've gathered so far on improvements that I really like:
1. No multiple runs of first round (unless we have a large number of players).
2. Keep first round deaths to 1/4 of players (instead of the 1/3 I used).
3. Use a probability randomizer for determining winner of battles (a la NBA Draft lottery).
4. Fix the issue when someone can't choose weapon in adjoining room (rare) by allowing them to pick a weapon from room further away and declaring the weapon a "rogue" weapon to the rest of the players (credit to whoever gave me that idea - forgot who it was)
On the fence about these ideas:
1. Doing trivia via PM instead of posting (allows everyone with correct answers to get a point). I did final trivia via PM, but feel all trivia via PM coming from all players might be a LOT to manage. I do like the idea of more people getting bonus ghosts, but maybe we need a time limit for them to submit answers? Otherwise, everyone will get the bonus ghosts with enough time.
2. Random battle generator - could the wheel just pick two people to randomly battle every so often? I think that would be exciting.
3. Possibility of resurrecting a player - I think this could be awesome. I just have to come up with some rules for it. Maybe somebody can sacrifice a substantial number of ghosts to bring someone back? Maybe open up the door for alliances to be formed?
4. Signup period - similar to what is done for mafia games. That way we end up with less players not participating.
5. Open up the games to people outside RTT - not sure on this one. Would like more players, but at the same time would make it harder to do write ups for players I don't know very well. What do you guys think?
