I hope you all enjoyed the ZK Unit Name Game.

Please give me more ideas for such games. For example ZK Trivia could be a long list of questions and answers.

Yeah kinda funny.

Maybe add sth like:
"how much HP reaper have" and answer is allowed in a tolerance of 500 or so?

technical stuff is too easy to lookup and therefore boring.

post questions, which need ingame experiments. e.g. minimum number glaives someone need to kill a warrior in x seconds, with a replay proof.

How many nubs is needed in your team in order to lose. How less nubs you need in order to win. What does a nub do when he is killed by a glave( makes screamer) etc:P

Maybe stuff that is technical (= easy for host to determine if answer is right) but somehow hard to look-up? Like, "how many barrels did Hornet have" or "what is the issue with our lead modder, quantum" or something?

OR make some newbie quiz before they can join real team games.

When u sit in ur base and build only static def what will happen?
Finally u made your factory after 10 min, why u shouldn't build most expensive unit?

etc....

That was fixed after you left. It falls back to an existing letter.

You guys haven't given me any real ideas, so I'll just add a hangman game.

I don't think this should be done in #zk. That channel is often used for tech support by new players among other things and having it taken over by word games would be inconvenient.

I believe this is for when the Springiee hosts are down GBrankTheSponge, by then our only tech support will be saying "yep, server's broke."

The game could automagically shut down when a level <10 player asks a question and prompt chat game players to answer this question instead.

Ive got a new funy game - an anti-spammer. Very funny, isnt it?

Now for serious, dont make god damn bots, make chat better for ppl instead. 1st of all make some feature to prevent ppl smapping 10k lines of the same message.

I agree. But it's in the "brand new and fun" stage so I was testing it out with people in #zk. The testing period is mostly over.

It's not a bot by the way, it's a script I stick into my weblobby client. So it's only there if I log in and start it up. I was inspired by the Springie downtime yesterday and wanted something to keep people from getting bored and leaving.

To address your point, I could make some separate channel called #zkgames but I imagine 3-4 people would manually join it and it would be boring and quickly die. Alternately, to enhance the experience I could give trusted folks the control to !start, !stop and !pause games. It's not my intent to spam the channel, only to fill the gaps of boredom.

I'm still thinking of other fun games, perhaps less spammy ones that are more slow-moving. ZK Trivia questions, and hangman with phrases or units, are two that are on my mind. Some suggestions in this thread like "what's the HP of X" can get spammy with people yelling out random numbers, so I'm looking for stuff that's a bit more thoughtful and reserved.

Hangman will still be spammy with letters, and people randomly wasting letters up will get our guy hung and generally make it frustrating

My turn!

simple Autoit script:

#include [openingBracket]File.au3[closingBracket]

Func _stop()
Beep(440, 500)
Sleep(200)
Exit
EndFunc ;==>_stop
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_stop")

$counter = 0

Func _do()
Beep(440, 500)
$str = ClipGet()
$index = 0
$file = "words.txt"
FileOpen($file, 0)
$str = StringReplace($str," ","")
$res = ""
$sent = false
For $ii = 1 to _FileCountLines($file)
$line = FileReadLine($file, $ii)
if StringLeft($line,1) = $str Then
$res = $line
if ($index = $counter) then
Send($res & "{Enter}")
$sent = true
endif
$index = $index + 1
endif

Next
if ($sent) Then
$counter = $counter + 1
Else
$counter = 0
EndIf
FileClose($file)

EndFunc ;==>_stop
HotKeySet("{F4}", "_do")

Func _do2()
Beep(440, 500)
$str = ClipGet()
$index = 0
$file = "words.txt"
FileOpen($file, 0)
$str = StringReplace($str," ","")
$res = ""
$sent = false
For $ii = 1 to _FileCountLines($file)
$line = FileReadLine($file, $ii)
if StringLeft($line,1) = $str Then
$res = $line
Send($res & "{Enter}")
$index = $index + 1
endif

Next
if ($sent) Then
$counter = $counter + 1
Else
$counter = 0
EndIf
FileClose($file)

EndFunc ;==>_stop
HotKeySet("{F3}", "_do2")
Sleep(1000)
$exit = False
$a = 0
$b = 1

for $i = 50000000 to 1 step -1
;send($index & "{Enter}")

Sleep(1000)
next

this code is as dirty as possible..
words.txt contains all possible words
here are some words: http://hastebin.com/oyefobanuk.pas
select the starting char in zkl and then press f4 to try one name with that starting char or f3 to try all possible names with that starting char.

Have fun beating Skasi

And USrankAdminCarRepairer - looking forward to sth new like hangman

ZK Hangman is ready. It's anti-spammy because each player has an initial personal hangman score of 5, and when he gets 5 guesses wrong he's out of the round.
