Good idea for a game?

[NATHANIELJONESTHUGANGEL]

Ok, i was in study hall today trying to make up good scenarios, and i think i may have found a winner, i tried to make something not totally complicated and this really isnt. For the scenario i drew out a map of War Game Field (the field i know best) but i guess it would work almost anywhere, anyways here it is...


-Two teams


-Bases (ie: spawn points)

At the beginning of the game, Team 1 spawns at that red box that the somalians spawned at BHD.

-Team 2 spawns (and this is the only place i cant exactly name off) in the place where the Helicopter "crashed" into the somalians, if your at the red box it is to your Diaganol right toward the front of the field, and its an open patch of grass in the middle of the woods (someone must know where i mean).

-The "olympic hotel" "building" is neutral at the beginning of the game.




The game starts and both teams go for either the empty base or the other teams base, to take them over...

THIS IS HOW BASES CAN GET TAKEN OVER: If you die and are not at a base, go to your teams nearest base to respawn (obviously), if you are at a base and are killed you CANNOT respawn at the base you were killed at, you must respawn at another one of your teams bases, IF YOUR TEAM DOESNT HAVE ANY BASES, YOU RESPAWN NEAR THE OPENING TO THE STAGE AREA, not in the stage area, near the opening, this means that if there are 25 man teams, and 1 team loses all bases, all 25 of you can respawn and assault any bases you like, (preferably the olympic hotel which would likely only have 8-10 players guarding it, because that would provide some sweet Alamoesque battles :D )


I thought this game looked great on paper (literally, notebook paper), and it would be cool if you guys let me know what you think.


I know its not the most original thing ever, and almost reminds me of the board game Risk, but I think it would be pretty fun.

Thanks to anyone that actually read all of that...

Its an idea for a game, but when are you going to put it into play?



Study hall is for studying schoo, is it not? Airsoft vs School? Hmmmmmm... makes me think about possibilites of..............

TEACHERS VS AIRSOFTERS!!! HA HA HA

Just kidding. (God I gotta get my butt back into school)

The scenario sounds ok, somewhat generic. Reminds me of the Battlfield series where you start out an d take over bases and try to caputre and hold them and then defend them once you have them. It would be kind of hard to know who has what though in the long run I think, or maybe I'm thinking to complex.

[SPANKY *AK-47*]

actually, i kinda like that skirm idea....for thos of you who haven't played "star wars battle feilds" , which is basically what this game type sounds like, it goes like this......team 1 starts off at a "red base" (im thinking at gary;s this would be hotel), then team 2 starts at "blue base"(at gary's it could be maybe tower 1, or tower 2) then there are multiple other bases on the feild (if it were at gary's, we could use the 3 towers, and the hotel as the bases or other spots) and the basic goal is to overtake all of these bases. now then...if all bases are taken over by team 1, team 2 has a time limit that they must take over at least one base..if they do not complete this, it is game over, team 1 wins. (and vice versa)

were i the one planning it, i would say that you should bring "markers" (IE big colored peice of cardboard) and when you take over a base, you put marker up for all to see....when you lose it, other team puts up there marker (just put colored cardboard on/next to base at beggining so teams dont have to lug them around) then when a team controls all the bases, game over (or maybe round over??) that team wins, instead of a time limit...because that could/would take forever....just my 2¢ ;)

Haha, well it's homecoming week, so we aren't doing to much. i guess the scenario is a little like battlefield. As for the "what belongs to who?" issue, it's not an issue at all, see if you get shot at base 1, you have to respawn at another location anyways, it's not like you just stand there, believe me it'd work.

[KA-JJ]

It sounds like a star wars battlefront type game which is completely cool. I would go with this idea, but possibly extra incentives. Such as bring something back to the base and holding on to it. I dont know, just rambling, but i would do this scenario, but just capturing bases can get boring, just need extra stuff. But good idea.

I would like to put a cap at like 4 total bases max, if there are like 10, there wont be as many fun major battles, and they would be to close together, also i really want the red box to be a base, so there is some woodland fighting, and it's not all in the field.. As for the markers, i was thinking of something like that, it may work, but it may be kind of confusing, but this skirmish obviously isnt set in stone in all yet, as for the moment it is just an idea.

[KA-JJ]

Also, just want to let you know, there is a possibility of one team just absolutely "owning" the competition and having people just give up and playing like little pricks on the field. Extra incentives or goals would be good.

Obviously, the teams would have to be especcially balanced for this, so than all the great players (ie: TFD and such) don't all get put on the same team, and all the n00bs with crappy guns and springers (ie: me) don't get put on the same team.

Assuming you are referancing the first crash site.. The inn. Assuming you are referancing the second crash site.. Near twower two, 2a is it?

How would you achieve that one? I mean, youd have to tell people to tell you weather or not they are going to go, and then just say, ok, you, you and you on this team, the rest of you on the other team.

??? On what basis would you select who goes on what team?

[SPANKY *AK-47*]

whoa, since when is TFD good?? LOL, J/K (Just kidding)

i'm liking the way this is coming together...i would be totally in for it. i like the idea, of "extra stuff" aswell.

OR.... maybe sumthing like a bomb at every base, but team 1 would have to hold the base for IDK, 5-10 min. in-order to blow base up, and team 2 has to stop team 1 from blowing up any/all bases...and you could do it simular to BHD, where team 1 has to be "heli-lifted" into the game...and they "deploy" into like the feild, or a tower, W/E then team 2 would be out on the field prior to "deployment", defending there "home", or "city", or W/E...then you could add a story to it as to WHY team 1 setting off the bombs, or whatever.
just my 2¢, or wait, no it would be my 4¢ LOL

your game, your call

i would suggest you do the old fashion "eennie meennie Miiny Moe", or pick straws, put names into a hat/bucket and "draw names" or whatever

We'd probably select teams there (basically, just divide everyone into two piles, but make it so its not completely unfair, we wouldnt really have to analyze it to much).

And i think i am speaking of tower two the 2nd crash site as team 2's starting point.


edit: wait, we'd have to have some team wear street clothes or something, or else it'd get confusing with all the same camo. i guess we'd sign up for teams online if this ever gets going.

[RTO]

Aight, got what our saying now. Its all clear.

[KA-JJ]

gruzniak, try to schedule it for early november if possible, before december :D

[SPANKY *AK-47*]

Yeah, November sounds good.

Why can't it just be fighting for territory? WHY DOES THERE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE EXPLOSIVES????? lol, just kidding, anyways it would be good to mix something in there, but not to major as i like the game itself as is, it just needs some spice.

[NATHANIELJONESTHUGANGEL]

gruzniak, try to schedule it for early november if possible, before december :D


Wait, how do i schedule games?

[RTO]

Request for the use of Gary's field via Phone Call, e-mail, PM, whatever.

Then go to calendar and select the date you want to schedule the event on and post what ya got for the event in there! Badda bing- badda boom its done!

Ok, i'll pm him tonite asking about a date in the first 2 weeks of NOV most likely, i just need to check which days on those weekends i am open, first.

[SPANKY *AK-47*]

...... WHY DOES THERE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE EXPLOSIVES????? .........

My name is jake, and i have a problem. :cry:


Hmmmm, i really like this "game plan" cant wait to see it put in for real, then play it..... :D

[nemesis]

not a horrible idea and i would actually try and make this one... ( like i try not to make any games)

[Ben]

It's exactly like dod. (Day of Defeat)


I'd attend.

[Timmay]

TFD sucks. We all are staying on the same team. We just look the part of SFODDelta. Seems thats enough to scare some into the hills.

Wow. Night Stalker, if I was you I'd consider kicking Timmay off the team. He's telling everybody TFDs secrets. ;)

[Timmay]

your just saying that, because id run into your arms, with a can of pickles in each hand just for you to make it kosher :D

[Maple]

I love it when you talk dirty to me Timmay. But all this pickle talk will have to wait until Yom Kippur has passed. Don't fret though, it's only a week away.
Shalom. -maple

[Dogboy]

Just toss some loose change into the mix, and Maple will forget about those screwy holidays.

[NATHANIELJONESTHUGANGEL]

JJ suggested putting some VIP missions or some other minor objectives into the mix partway through...for example like getting a VIP from base 1 to base 3 in under 10 minutes, or something like that...just a thought, though.

[KA-JJ]

all we need is just extra stuff to it to make sure no one gets bored, it always happens, so try to keep the peoples attention.

antata wa BAKA!? ~_~

[NATHANIELJONESTHUGANGEL]

I just got a PM back from Gary, he likes the idea, but unfortunately Nov 12th is taken already, but he said Nov 5th and 6th are open, which is probably better since the weather could be that much warmer than the 12th (or even colder), i dont know why i chose the 12th over the 5th or 6th to begin with lol.

[RTO]

Just pick a day that you want. Personally, if everyone were to ask "when should i hold this event" i think it would rarely get done and people would argue and fight over what is going on for the event and when and where it woudl take place. So just say a date and then its set in stone and your all good and we have nothing to worry about because the mind will have been made up for us.

No preferance to me, the days are starting to boil down to coldness and ice and not a good combination on a field, if ya ask me, so make it when ya want. Just start to think about the weather and when it might possibly start to snow.

But who knows, we might have another year like last year where it didn't really even start to snow till late december.











NEVERMIND

ok, well i prefer saturday games so i dont have to worry about waking up all sore and tired and going to school so i guess 11-05-05 it is.

Reserve the day in the calendar section and then i'd recomend locking this thread and starting a new one with the game details and everything so that we know for sure it is set in stone.

[SPANKY *AK-47*]

yea, that way no one steals your date......

Edit: by date im mean a time/place, not a girl, or a guy if you swing that way, IDK..LOL

[NATHANIELJONESTHUGANGEL]

I know, i'll do all that tonite, i'm waiting for my dad to call back to make sure 11-5 is open for us.

[RTO]

yea, that way no one steals your date......

speaking of dates.. when are you taking me out to that movie and dinner you promised me???!!?!?!

[Vigilante]

Hey, sounds kinda like a game I had in mind. Hmm, Team Roadkills first hosted game, sounds fun. Of course if you want my help andy, just let me know what ya want me to do.

Hey, you swing both ways too? Oh, well, I have a boyfriend already, so I'm good for now

:o

[RTO]

Yeah, I hate forums because they do not convey emotions so I guess I can't kid around anymore w/o being takin' seriously.

No, I'm not a guy who swings both ways.

ANYWAY! BACK TO TOPIC!


Hope all goes well as planned and maybe I'll make it out to this Op. Kinda sick of waisting ammo at games where its just run aound and scream my head trying to shoot people.

[Vigilante]

Yea, that is why I loved BH wars. That was simply a blast. I hope the game set up can be sort of something with little teams like that and have specific goals.
