Every once in a while I have a crazy idea for Combat Cards that makes Doc roll his eyes silently, like my great idea to have XY text boards, one per player, set up that displayed, all automatically-like, suitable comments based on the score/points lost :-D So imagine both have 100, then one hits the other and the other tries to hit but is blocked. It would work in chat, too, but XY text would be funnier.

100 Board 1: HA HA!
82 Board 2: You'll get yours soon enough!
then
93 - Board 1: You'll regret that!
82 - Board 2: *sneers*
then
93 - Board 1: What are you waiting for?
82 - Board 2: You weasel!
then
93 - Board 1: Bwahahahaha!
55 - Board 2: OMG BASTIGE
then
79 - Board 1: Yikes, you devil!
55 - Board 2: Take that, cur!
And so on.

Another great idea (haha!) was to do a special flirtation HUD that would be a bit like a demo deck with a fixed cardset, each only used once with a fixed number of turns, and the players would just wear the server (a flower or something). Upon meeting another player (like Hippos, a bit) a game might ensue.

Player 1 saunters along the waterfront in Cowell and runs into Player 2. They each start choosing the order of the cards they want to play (which I am just now making up as I don't recall the original plan and they are mighty lame, I admit).

Player 1 card: A card pops out of his head which reads - "Your hair is lovely - I hope you don't mind me saying that."
Player 2 card: "I am not interested in talking to strangers." (tips her hand by getting rid of that card early on)
Player 1 card: "I really must get back to my project."
Player 2 card: "Oh - tell me about it."
Player 1 card: "I'm a bit shy."
Player 2 card: "Just joking!"
Player 1 card: "I think I've seen you around here. Have we met before?"
Player 2 card: "I really don't know."
Player 1 card: "This place is so nice!"
Player 2 card: "I'm a bit shy."
Player 1 card: "Let's go dancing."
Player 2 card: "Let's go dancing."

or:
Player 1 card: "I am not interested in talking to strangers."
Player 2 card: "Oh - tell me about it."
Player 1 card: "Let's go dancing."
Player 2 card: "I'm a bit shy."
Player 1 card: "I really must get back to my project."
Player 2 card: "I really must get back to my project."
Player 1 card: "I think I've seen you around here. Have we met before?"
Player 2 card: "Your hair is lovely - I hope you don't mind me saying that."
Player 1 card: "This place is so nice!"
Player 2 card: "Just joking!"
Player 1 card: "I'm a bit shy."
Player 2 card: "I am not interested in talking to strangers."
