I came up with this idea yesterday while playing on that California map by GSF(?) with SirLancelot. Thought it was cool and could perhaps be of use in v21.
To illustrate:
 | As the sun sets, two explorers find themselves at the bottom of an enormous crater. It's too late to regroup with the main party, and they are going to have to set up a small camp to make it through the night. |
 | However, the map that these role-players are playing on is made out of bricks - including the ground where they would like to make their camp. So, they pull out their brick selector tools and place permission bricks. |
 | Within the confines of these bricks, the explorers are able to complete their camp setup and hunker down for the night, even though they don't own the base that they are building on. |
 |
To reiterate:
Permission bricks (in lack of a better name) would allow for role-players to build their own camps/forts/defenses/spawns/etc within a map that they do not have permission to build on, and
without the trust of the owner.
These bricks would work like water bricks and zone cubes in the way that
you could place them in a way that overlaps other bricks, yet they cannot overlap other permission bricks.
Possible associated RTB Prefs:
- Permission brick size (or there could always just be a number of sizes to chose from in the brick menu)
- Amount of permission bricks a client could place
Addressing concerns:
- If you don't want players to spawn weapons, don't give them wrenches.
So yeah. Possible? Plausible? Additional thoughts?
