> Wouldn't it be a great idea if everyone got together in rinkchat and everybody was made a TEMPORARY op, then there was this dukeout with everybody kicking everybody else. You couldn't come back in, and the admins would be the refs. Last man (woman, child, it, etc) in the chatroom got to be a permanent op, or their name was put up somewhere in rinkworks, or something. Remember, I did warn you.

I've actually seen Dave administer a variant of this. Somebody wanted to play Blitzbot and it was late at night, and I wasn't even in Chat (I saw this on Kaz!'s computer). Sam wasn't around though, so Dave improvised. Everybody was made a temporary op. Then, Dave would de-op one person, and everybody else would try to kick them. Whoever made the kick first got a point.

This game didn't last very long because apparently, kicking somebody is fairly processor-intensive on the server. Especially if lots of people try to kick somebody who's already been kicked (like, a second ago). After a couple of rounds, the screen blanked out for everybody. It was temporary, but scary enough to end the game.

So, this sort of thing /has/ been thought up before. However, I think if we tried OneCoolCat's suggestion, we'd probably crash the Rinkserver or something!
