i was playing rabbit hunt today on hix, and i was thinking about different ways to play it. i dont know if its very good, thats why i want feedback. in the new style the rabbit wouldn't be able to shoot, he'd have to dodge his way out of trouble. but when he becomes rabbit, he'd get a st flag so he could hide.

i can see 1 problem with that. usually when u kill the rabbit you're surrounded by fellow hunters, so my sollution to that problem (not even sure if this is possible) is when he becomes rabbit, he gets a st flag and transported to a random location. so...what do you guys think? yes? no? maybe?

Hard to do i believe but good idea.

I dont like it, somethimes you have like 10 people coming to you which is allready a big disadvantage, at least you can give the rabbit bullets to defend himself.

And st flag is a lame flag anyway

wow, way to smash me down birdie.

have 10 ppl come at you is the point of the st and the teleport. that way they dont know where you are.

i spose it wouldn't be much fun for the rabbit to be defenseless. but thats the way it is for real. this is called 'rabbit hunt'. well when we hunt rabbits, we have guns and all they have is their skills at hiding. cuz im sure, unless they're the evil rabbit from monty python and the holy grail, they have no way to hurt us. but i spose a solution to that would be to give the rabbit 1 shot.

but the motivation of being the rabbit is lost, if you can't shoot that is
if you can just hide and be helpless, thats no fun, and if someone is that good at hiding, people will give up and move on....
i really dont think the idea would work, but its worth a try

First, try playing HTR when the rabbit has the ST flag.... Its crazy annoying, and a great way to ruin everyone's fun, Especially if there is no seer flag.

wow, way to smash me down birdie.

pardon me, now i reread it and i see it sounded quiet harsh, wasnt meaned to...but at least you got my point

Maybe you could zone the rabbit? He would be harder to kill, but not impossible.

zone the rabbit? well unless you're zoned too, you wont be able to kill him or he you.

Well, if there were superbullet flags, or shockwave it would work. That's what I had in mind.

ah well. i was planning this for a non-flag map.

THat idea isnt so bad, waht about to give the rabbit a ST witout to able to shoot and whan he drop the ST a G flag. And the game is leveled again.

heh, thats an interesting concept....

Reading this gave me another idea for rabbit hunt. How about make it so that whenever the rabbit scores a kill, he gets 2 points instead of 1, and if he shoots you, you lose 2 points intead of 1?

i dont see what the point of that is really...
