The Forum Game Schedule Thread

This forum's crying out for either a football or quiz type game - anyone?

Well volunteered.

Get on with it Cardigan

 

[SUTSS]

Need to update this thread Oaf

 

[Spirederman]

Football Factions is still happening despite my comment in the SB when I was going through that shit period.

No set date yet though.

 

[Munkiki]

I recommend creating a "Never running" header for 'Superstar Wars - Cas'

Right, as I said yesterday in the NOTW thread, I'm due to run the next forum game once NOTW is over... but I realised that I haven't actually said what the fuck it's going to be, so I said that I'd talk about what it is in here. So here is:



























































another epic shocked face



































And another.






































Are you even surprised that it's another one at this stage.

1FF: The Hunger Games
(Or 1FF: Battle Royale, if you're one of those "the hunger games copied battle royale!!1!one!" nerds)

Basically, if you know what The Hunger games or Battle Royale is, you'll get the basic premise. In short, you're all going to kill each other until one of you is left standing.

FEATURES!

RPG style stats and boring stuff!
Before you step into the arena, engage in training exercises to increase your stats and increase your chances of survival!
Then we let the games begin!
I have designed a fully fledged map that will be used for this game!
Move around it to avoid other players, hunt, gather supplies and survive!
I have a list of weapons and items for you to collect to help you survive!
Lots of unfair deaths caused by nothing more than bad luck!
Only ONE will survive, who will it be?!



More details coming once NOTW is right near the end.

 

[Rammy]

Sounds good!

[Oaf]

See now this is what I thought too.

My Grandstand esque live game will be going ahead also. Not sure where to fit it in but hopefully not in the too distant future. Just don't want overkill.

A reminder of my game by the way:

Here's a very loose idea that I've just thought up but anyway...

A few teams compete in a combination of forum games which tie in with real life sporting events. The competitions on the forum give teams the opportunity to get the advantage of picking first etc on teams and players in a variety of sporting matches, games and races. When gameday arrives, which could be a golf tournament, a horse race (or number of races), football matches etc etc, the teams choose who they want on their side. The winners of these events therefore win points for the team that have them on 'their side'.

Do you get me? I've literally thought this up 10 minutes ago but think it could work? If anyone thinks it's a go-er then I'll think up some more details and can slot it into the order at some point in the future.

So yeah, for example, teams compete on a weeknight in a similar manner to the gameshow marathon, survivor etc and this might give a team four tokens, first pick or some other benefits. The other team(s) may only receive two tokens. These tokens are placed on a real life sporting event coming up in that gameweek (say, for example, The Open golf). The teams take it in turns to place their tokens on competitors (i.e. 1st pick Tiger Woods, 2nd pick Rickie Fowler) until they have used all of their tokens. They then receive points for how their competitors do.

Like I say, different forum games each gameweek to decide, different advantages given and a wide range of sporting events. Some may be strengths of team members, some may be weaknesses or sports they are not usually interested in. Ideally they will be events available to watch on TV just to add a bit of interest but yeah - I hope with the right levels of involvement from teams, it could work quite well.

How long do you roughly reckon this will take mate? Just so I can have an idea of planning mine - if it's okay to follow yours up. Happy to delay if someone else has something good to go.

 

[Oaf]

I imagine a week or two for the training side of things followed by 2 or 3 weeks playing the proper game. Though I may be well off as it's a completely new thing and I have no idea how easy it'll be to run at the pace I want to run it

 

[Oaf]

Should I pencil you in for the game after though? No trouble if you decide later that you want to back out.

 

[Magic]

OK, no worries. Yeah imagine I'll be good to go when games traffic control give me clearance.

 

[Oaf]

Roger roger Magic oh four niner.

 

[Leewilson]

I love the sound of that game Magic.

 

[Cardsfan]

Nah, it sounds shit.

So where are we on this? Noticed that things had gone a little quiet on the game front, especially with Rammy's top 100 list now ending and it being international break, there's not much going on.
