Idea The Plague

The Plague​

The plague, is a game mode in which players are evenly spawned around a market, airport, or a mario theme related map to attempt to survive a quickly spreading plague the longest out of all the participants/players.

How The Game Works​

Immediatly as the previous mini game ends, players will be spawned evenly around one of the theme maps stated above [market themed, airport theme, or mario theme]. The spawning of players will begin a timer in the chat box, counting down from ten to *cough cough [plague starting], this will help assure all the players are connected and ready to play. In the few free seconds while the timer is counting down to the start of the game, the players will have the freedom to run around and choose they place they feel they could survive the longest. When the timer reaches zero, a player at random will receive a stack of poison potions [these potions will have a reduced radius of effect down to 1/6 the original radius and if possible, can only be thrown every 3 seconds], there head will also be covered in dark green wool [or there nametag will turn green] to symbolize there infection to the plague. To then this host player will run around throwing his potions wisley at other players to spread the plague [survivors have nothing in there inventory and all they can do is run and hide]. As soon as a player is hit, they to will also receive a stack of poison potions and instantly equip a dark green wool hat/green nametag to show survivors they are infected. But when a player is infected by the poison, they will be blind for a few seconds to allow close players to make a run for it before they can run around and infect others just as the host. The plague will spread until all players are infected, which is when the appropriate amount of coins are awarded to the "1st, 2nd, and 3rd" longest survivors and the next mini game begins.

Map Details​

All the maps created for this game mode will be compacted, small sized, and open zoned with a few or a lot of obstacles, streets, houses, alleyways, etc... all of which depend on the type of theme the map is. These maps will also be designed to make it so there is no really op/hard places to get to which drag out games for a excessive amounts of time. There will also be no places where you can just simply press your shift key and never be found [secret corners, dark rooms, etc...]

Well, the reason i think the survivors should not have a weapon is because, you want the game to go pretty fast. [weapons could make the game last longer] and all weapons besides a bow would be pretty useless against the zombies as they have posion potions.

 

Yes, if you do start the as the infected you will not earn any coins but i think the fact that you get to be the first one to chase people around makes up for it. The game will also be pretty short so the first infected could just wait until the next mini game to get those coins back, but most importantly it adds suspense to the players and game as they are wondering "Will I be the host?" or "What if someone around me will be the host?" Having mobs chasing people around has pros and cons in my opinion. The pros being, nobody is guaranteed to lose coins, could having flying mobs chasing people, and excessive amounts of zombies could spawn overtime as the players become less and less. While the cons are, mobs could run out of people to run towards because they are hiding in corners, alleys, etc..., it might not be as fun as the players cant be on both sides [survivor and plague infected], mobs cant parkour places so people could just hide on top of a houses/buildings, and when the players die it will cause them to wait until the match is over therefor reducing the time they enjoy the game. As Brian stated it above, add rats [silverfish], this would be ok in my opinion as these rats will just be alittle help to the host infected and a few of them crawling around makes the game more suspenseful as they are little creatures on the ground that are hard to see.
