Unlike the usual boring minecraft storage war where you bid on a random chest full of god knows what, you get more security in this Storage War, and you do more strategising! Introducing the new and improved Strategic Storage Wars!

The first change is that you get to PEEK at the chest you are bidding on. But some items will be replaced by PLACEHOLDERS! These placeholders can denote up to 1 stack of items (eg. a placeholder could denote 51 diamonds, or 3 diamonds. Anything from 1 to a full stack of 64 items)

The following items will donote items that will be in the chest:
- STONE: Air. Used to fill chest.
- GRAVEL: Up to a stack of ordinary items worth between $0-200 in total when sold to server
- STONE BRICK: Up to a stack of items worth over $200 in total when sold to server
- CIRCLESTONE/CHISELLED STONE BRICK: Enchanted equipment
- GRAY WOOL: Items not able to be sold directly to server, but not enchanted equipment (e.g. diamond ore)

Secondly, the entrants are assembled in a circle, and each person bids one at a time around the circle. That way it is more fair. A person can say "pass" if they don't want to bid, but once everyone passes for one whole round, the winner is the last bidder (eg. there are 5 ppl and the first person says "60". If the other 4 ppl say pass the first person would win.)

Finally, at the start of the game, you can buy 2 of the following power ups, and use them any time during the game to your advantage:

- hide bid (bidder can enter a bid that noone can see - bids after this are disregarded unless they are higher than this hidden number. It is possible therefore for the person with hidden bid to win if all other players fail to outbid him in the round)
- knockout (forces a person to skip their bid turn)
- xray vision (sees item with highest value)
- bid increment change (changes bid increment to whatever the person wants. Effective for rest of game for person who uses it)
- withdraw (withdraws the last bid you made) e.g you bid $100 but changed your mind
- "max out at 10" (forces the bidding to end at the 10th bidder) cannot be used after the 10th bid
- "max out in 2 rounds" (forces bidding to end in 2 rounds)

I am thinking of having items that you have to present during the game to activate the power up. So for example, the hide bid could be worth 1x night vision potion. Unless you have a night vision potion on hand, you cannot activate the power up.


Sorry if it was TLDR but its a complicated concept! I'll implement it if ppl like the idea!

 

Yup it continues like so until everyone passes

 

Thanks for the insight ^^ Yea well i just went to a few small storage wars and they didn't seem too hyped up so that's what i was basing it upon. But yea thanks for the heads up^^ I'm basing mine off the storage wars on fb - i really like the game concept behind it^^ (also im basing it off psychological game manga =P)
