Nested hosts that are slashed give a chance for the nest to be destroyed

Post by Rocco Ward » 10 Feb 2017, 16:43

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Anytime an xeno slashes nested hosts, there should be a small chance for the nest to be destroyed in the struggle.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Gives humans who are unable to do anything a chance at redemption.

But slashing nested hosts is bannable, so unless the rule was lifted but given game mechanic demerits (such as this one) for slashing hosts, I don't see the point?

+1, but have the nest have a 100% chance of being destroyed.

+1 simply because I vaguely remember an admin mentioning a mechanic where they wanted less rules and more mechanics to keep the gameplay flowing. This way, xeno players begin to learn to follow the rule as a matter of benefiting themselves rather than because it would be detrimental otherwise.
