A possible way to handle the Secret Weapon issue (Since Kalimar said he wasn't opposed to a few coding changes) is to create a new skill (somewhat like the way Leader works), say:
Cheater - A player with this skill isn't just a habitual cheater, they're an expert cheater. These players understand that it isn't a matter of if the ref spots them, but when. Accordingly these players come prepared to deal with such an eventuality. Each player with the Cheater skill brings to the game sufficient coin to encourage the ref to look the other way. At the start of the match each team receives one free Bribe for each of their players with the Cheater skill who is available to play. |

craft, that's actually a decent idea, and a good middle ground between LRB4 rules, and "perma-bribes" on rosters....
much better suggestion than the horrors...
but more importantly, i wanted to give an update on how things are going...my schedule this week is rough, as i'm leaving town this weekend for vacation and won't have time to finish this work up, but the bulk is complete, and i should be finishing off the roster changes by early next week at the latest...at that point it's off the the FFB crew to do their thing...
for the most part, i'm trying hard to migrate teams over as closely as possible to their LRB4 counterpart, but obviously some teams are going to need more molding, like squig herders....the only speedbumps at this stage are a concrete solution to the weapons problem, and making sure that obsolete skills (like blunderbuss on a few rosters) don't negate a team's punch & fun, and how to counteract the loss of that with the migration....
more to come when the rosters have left my hands...

Shadow, let me know if you want/need a hand to make sure all the icons are together and ready for the new client. (No animations, etc.)
Looking forward to Stunty! |

Implementation/Migration is mostly up to Christer in the end. But I assume you can start with updating rosters and such a like?... Ill give shadow a slap to pay some attention to this |

I think that Cheater skill would make the transition near seamless. Just swap MB out for the RSC.

Not quite, note that the only thing that gets you tossed is the Secret Weapon "skill", not the actual usable skill (bombardier, stab, chainsaw, etc.). Also, Stab doesn't normally get you ejected, whereas bombs and saws do, we would need to decide which illegal tactics are "obvious" enough to warrant the Secret Weapon "skill" and which don't. Then we decide which players are "Cheaters" and which one's just cheat.

Hmm, I hadn't noticed that the restriction on MB for ST 2 had been removed... |

Craft makes a good point about what weapons to ban and which not to, pogo stick for example doesn't get a goblin sent off in ranked but a saw does
Before the migration happens we could really do with weapons working, at the moment ball and chain and bombs don't work properly, does anyone have any idea when these will be working? |

Like the changes you made to the rosters Aries. Though Squigs should definately have PO instead of MB in my opinion. It just fits them so much better. |

Jag war is the only 2str one right? He was actually claw not RSC before can just leave him regular claw and scare the team BGs
I'm completely ok with PO squigs!
Chainsaw, Bombs, B&C, Deathroller,= Secret Weapon
Stab = freeride(since it's not poisoned anymore/darkies)
Blunderbuss = freeride, just to get it used!
That's my opinion |

Would it be easy to just make bribes cheaper for stunty teams? They're 100k normally, 50k for goblins, why not 10k or 5k for stunty teams? with no maximum ammount of bribes able to be purchased? |

If it was me I'd do bribes at 40k for all teams and 20k for goblin cheaters, making them part of the roster so they are bought permanantly.
I'd give Jaguar warriors Stab rather than claw, its actually more in keeping with the fluff as meant to represent a weapon anyway (I'm sure I'm right about that).
I wouldnt make any weapons freeride except perhaps blunderbuss and pogo stick.
PO squigs is interesting but I dont know if that would work as you can have a couple of riders and a couple of squigs per team, especially considering the amount of fouling done in stunty leed |
