I must say, This round turned out much better than I could have thought.
The introductions of the items was awesome!
However....
I don't think they should stack.
They should be used for only that round.
Or It can be in inventory and the player must use it.
It did make for an interesting game. That is for sure!
Hey man, some goods point with items -I have asked some of our resident IBT bot programmers if an automated way of tracking inventory is possible and I provided a particular way I think it could be achieved..however it's allot of work and may not be possible (jury is still out).
I tend to agree though, if it can't be automated, then we need to keep each stage a bit more independent and it makes sense use it or lose it for the round :). It will also make it a bit easier for people to follow and hopefully self manage :)
