what does everyone think of this...

if i ever get enough capital, i think i'm going to start an online poker server. most of the features would be lifted from other servers, with one big addition: once per 24 hours, when your opponent lays a really bad beat on you, you can press a button, and your avatar will walk over to his, grab his shirt, and punch him in the face.

if you're having a really bad session, you can send an email requesting that your "face punch" counter be restored to 1, much like a request for all-in protections.

what do you guys think?

feel free to share your own brilliant additions to existing poker servers. i promise that if i steal anything from them, you'll receive royalties if the ultimate poker server ever comes to be.

animated avatars? good idea.
increasing the entertainment functions might bring in more fish, sites should add more gimmicks!
just make sure you add an option for me to be able to turn the effects off.

As long as we get to kick cats around the room, I have no problem with being punched in the face.

I sometimes wonder if I have already written the best (the name ultimate has already gone) poker server with the ideas of mine (and also those of other 2+2ers) that are littered around the internet.

Any 2+2er who is brave enough to start up a site would get sole access to any fresh ideas I have, because I'm sick of getting nada in return.

Current rate of pay for approx 100 hours time spent emailing sites with ideas and working on them is 1 t-shirt (not a stars one), which equates to something in the region of 1% t-shirt/hr.

In future, only bids of 1 hamburger an hour, or a new make up bag per week will be accepted.

Chinese stars and round cards we can throw like frizbees. If we could bring our animals into the room and allow my rhino to pulverize someone..... One can dream.

Rusty Jedi needs a saber, RockLobster needs claws, Kurn needs a crazy looking two-handed curved sword thingie (I'm sure he knows the name), Cup needs a bootle of booze, Jek needs a football he can throw at people, Lorinda could have this huge purse...she can either hit people with it or take "things" out and throw them.

Yeah baby.

Screw that. Once per 24 hours I'd like to take a big sickle like the Grim Reaper carries and go medieval on the gimp in seat 8 who three bets my pocket aces with J7o then runner runners a gutshot and check raises me on the river. Like the American Express guy says, "priceless".

Hung had an idea similar to this awhile ago.

He wanted to make the entire casnio experience into a game. I.e. get in your tricked out car and drive to the cardroom gran-turismo style. Walk into the casino and bump into someone and then fight them (with health meter, etc). Get to your table and be able to kick the crap out of the moron who outdrew you with 74o, etc.

It'd be fun.

I was so disappointed when I couldn't do this in Grand Theft Auto. It seemed like it would fit into the game so well.

i just thought of an added benefit...rather than following fish on a buddy list, you could just count the number of black eyes on their avatar and get a good idea how bad they play.
