Which game modes have you always dreamed of ?

Just thinking, would it be possible to have a modified winzone where you die if you leave it? that would create an interesting new mode.

Capture the flag or a downhill race wth jumps and tricks that would be cool

The Zone proposal for Bacchus has an on-exit trigger planned. ie: you trigger the zone by leaving it. In the proposal, all the capacities of a Zone are parameters, allowing any mix and match imaginable.

If you are interested to know more about this, you can search the forum for the Zones-a.gz document (IIRC). It is in the Development discussion named "Does the server support this". Sorry I cannot provide a link at the moment.

oups, forgot to add an important bit.

This is ideas how _I_ like them: not a "single usage" idea but one enabling up to new possibilities.

From your-mom stating it like this, I've imagined 3 usages for it:
- all players start in such a death zone. The zone wanders slowly on the grid. They players have to keep inside or die by leaving it. Like having a very small arena (100 of radius) that cleans up on one side.
- Similar to before, but there is a winzone and a slightly smaller deathzone inside. the deathzone ossiliate inside the win zone. players have to keep inside, but as it move, sometime it expose the edge of teh winzone allowing for a lucky escape.
- death zone is on the leader of a team, with all its team players also in it. The leader's byke doesnt leave a trace. His job is to keep the umbrella over its team as they fight, or risk killing its own teammates.

Its 3 examples, but there must be thousand out there. It really enables new possibilities. So that is why i really love that idea.

Just keep them rolling ;)

heres a crazy game mode that someone might like to setup team server

bikes have no walls (length 1)
small zone appears in random location (stays fixed size)
when a bike enters a random player from the opposing team explodes and the zone gets relocated

Nope, it really, really wouldn't be cool. Go play Tony Hawk or something.
