mod idea - bandit poker

[pojo2k8 18]

Everyone spawns with 1 playing card randomly from a deck of cards.   You can hold maximum of 5 cards in a stack in your inventory so it takes one slot.   Leaderboard is based on the best 5-card poker hand from stack in your inventory.  You can't pick up cards from your own bodies to prevent suiciding for draws.

Interesting idea, but honestly I came into this thread expecting to read about playing actual poker (and other card games I guess) in-game.

 

Now that would be sweet. Pvp always on, so if someone beats you bad then you can just flip the table and gun them down :D

 

Unless...they make you strip down of weps to play......hold on, I need to write this down...

thats why you just find the poker game and riddle the place with bullets from a safe distance hiding in a tree,

What's the point of having cards in this game? I don't understand this idea.

What about spawning with a flamethrower?... That would be nice too.

Just a fun way to collect a trophy on a kill, then turn that into a leaderboard.  You'd have to search them and get their card to add to your hand, then decide to keep the best 5 to make the best poker hand.   The more kills, the better your hand is likely to be, but there's still an element of chance to it.   Kill a guy and find a 4 card, not likely that he had much skill.   Kill a guy and find 5 aces, you've killed someone with some juice.
