+A Nonviolent MOBA
+=================
+
+> A team game with an emphasis on movement (with no shooting), inspired by Overwatch and Zineth
+
+Main mechanics ideas:
+
+- Teams start side-by-side and must get to objective
+- Objective is a see-saw: have more mass on your side of point
+
+Side mechanics ideas:
+
+- Maze-like map
+- After enough movement, player can switch characters (switching is a mechanic, not a meta-game! no one-tricks)
+- Speed up slowly over time. Reset on switch
+
+Ideas for characters:
+
+- More active
+  - Blink (Tracer) - no cooldown, but loses all speed on hitting walls
+  - Heavy guy - Slow, but very heavy for the see-saw
+- More supportive
+  - Merge - combines with someone to boost their speed
+  - Boost - Area of effect or zarya-like cast, speeds people up
+  - Flop - Changes side of see-saw for each team (should it be mechanic instead??)
+  - Build - Build Zineth-like rails for anyone to use
+  - Teleportation - (for others! or maybe including the enemy too!)
+- More offensive
+  - Lay walls
+  - Lay traps
+  - Destroy buildings
+  - Slow in AoE
+
+Key concepts:
+
+- From mobas we take:
+  - An emphasis on teamwork (Objective-based is a plus)
+  - Rich, emergent interaction
+  - Quick battles (very high replay value)
+- From Zineth we take:
+  - A rethinking of racing games
+  - High skill cap, low skill floor
+  - Forgiving gameplay
+
+Running
+=======
