Simplicity does not inherently mean boring or lacking creativity in my book. Instead, simplicity is scripting which is efficient, user-friendly, and non-restrictive. I find that the most boring gamemodes are the ones that are so bogged down by unimportant features and details that I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be doing when I connect. It is at this point that I typically struggle to find help and tutorial commands - where upon I read them, see a giant, complex list of features, and then disconnect out of frustration.
The most effective scripting is that which provides a pleasant experience (free of those frustrating moments like the one above). Effective scripting is like a website which is so straightforward and easy to use that, even if you did just blow a bunch of money on it, you can't help but feel great inside because the transaction was so smooth and simple that you still can't fully grasp what you've just accomplished in such a short time.
Okay, maybe I'm taking this a bit too far. But anyways, the website I'm talking about in the example above is www.capoproductions.com. I bought some loyalty free music from that website for my community currently in development, and I was shocked by the robust, yet simple process involved.
