Right, had a quick look and this didn't -seem- to be suggested anywhere else, so forgive me if this is a transgression on any rules.

I was thinking that an optional point system would be pretty cool.
Rather than working on any contact with body parts = damage, perhaps a system based on modifying real pointing systems, such as that used by taekwondo would offer a nice alternative that could be used instead of the classic system if the op/modder so wishes.
I admit this is a personal point, but I really hate how people can win a game by kicking my shin and then running away (or some other variation thereof). I understand that if I was some kind of grand master this wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately this isn't my status and I still get beat by tripods.

Pointing where:

• A punch to the torso or head gives one point
• A kick to the torso gives one point
• A kick to the head gives 2 points
• A fracture on the: Knees, hips, glutes, elbows, pecs and shoulders gives 2 points
• A fracture to the: abs, lumbar and chest gives 3 points
• A dismemberment to: Anywhere but the wrists and ankles gives 4 points
• A decap grants 5 points

Where 'punch' is a hit by the hand, and kick is a hit by the front of the shin (if possible) or the foot.

In addition, the force required to score points would be an alterable value, similar to the way dismemberment and fractures are alterable. This would reduce the amount of bullshit annoying point leads that can really make losses simply frustrating.
As previously stated, it would be optional to use this pointing system, or the current system.

Right, I think that's it... please read the whole post before criticizing.
Thanks.
