Most of you probably remember Mercenaries. That forum game MyWorldIsSquare created several years ago. The one that had all those "Who Would Win in a Fight?" threads that pit armies of video game characters against each other in hypothetical combat, with the winner being determined by whichever side got the most votes. There have been 3 iterations of Mercs so far. While the second was held mostly on a private board, the first and third were all on Board 8 proper.
The question is, would people be interested in a Mercenaries 4? For those that were paying attention, Mercs 3 ended on an incredibly sour note with a lot of infighting and divergent views of how the game should be handled. Merc veterans like myself, Lopen, Ed Bellis, Tom Bombadil, tirofog, and numbers are at an impasse: do we try to fix Mercs 4 and make it fun again? Or do we create an entirely new game? We have several half baked ideas for new games, some which borrow heavily from Mercs, some that don't.
So here's the deal: what do you guys want? Do you want to revive Mercenaries and give it another shot? Or do you want us to come up with something new?
