Mini-Game While Waiting For AB To Start

I know this is pushing the limit but what the heck here goes.. A mini-game for Alliance Battles while waiting (sometimes WAY TOO LONG.) A scalable window could pop up (and maybe even pause when the battle actually begins) with some sort of mindless-fun-boredom-slaying-mini-game.

Few ideas~

Kurzick side - Turtle Hunt, Gothic Hair Salon, Mhenlo Paternity Test

Luxon side - Whack-A-Fungal, Where's Togo?, Jade Surfing

I thought it was "dance nekkid behind the waterfall" in the Etnaran Keys...

That mini-game should still be all the rage

thats why when i do AB i have a flash game site up in the background

kongregate.com awsome site

sorry for the advertisement but still this idea would be awsome

Rock, Paper, Scissors.

That's an idea, but I figure Guild Wars is the game I'm playing.. if I need to go to a flash site (and yes, I'm gonna check out that link of yours) then it kinda defeats the purpose of playing GW in the first place. That and the worry I would miss the battle while immersed in a game of Desktop Tower Defense or something.

What about dancing on the little stage thing at grenz frontier and the luxon equivalent?

Hmm?

This would just be a pointless addition to ignore the real solution: Anet need better AB servers.

Just start arguments with people in local chat. That will take up a LOT of time. Chances are you could have an hour wait, finish a game, come back, and they're on the second topic or created their own spanning from that.

Having a monitor supporting multiple inputs and picture in picture (or split screen) feature, really solves that problem quite nice. Any handheld will also do.

i have a better idea.

Hows about ANet does something important instead of something stupid like this.

I totally Agree with Alex

ANet has many many many other thing to do than this.

Also Dual Monitors is the way to go, GWs on the left and a movie on the right, I'll let you guess what kind of movie.

the wait time in between AB's should be used to rally the troops imo. give your kurzicks a little pep talk before the battle.

or 1 really big moniter also works

Minimize your window and go search for something on the web.

Of all the comments this guy knows what really needs fixing. It's not like Anet is going to say 'yeah, we need mini-games in AB -- that'll make the masses happy!' I just felt SOME people (not alex the great, but some people) has a sense of humor and would enjoy the topic.

Well, to name a few "mini" games you could play...

PSP
Game Boy
Game Boy Color
Game Boy Advance
Nintendo DS
Atari Lynx
Sega Game Gear
Sega Nomad
game.com
Cybiko
PocketStation
Neo Geo Pocket
WonderSwan
Gizmondo

Wander how many each of you have owned. I count 9 for myself.

Funny, but unneccesary. Talk to guildies. Dance in the outpost.

Or pick up a book sitting by your desk and read a few pages. Make a sandwich.

I hoping this was a joke suggestion....

also kongregate.com ftw
