New views of games

[jion671 / John A.]

As Sam mentioned yesterday during break time, since the group is growing very large, we should have groups of 5-7 in one team.
We'll then face them off with each other and go through a tournament style bracket. We've started discussing briefly about this on Facebook and the brainstorm is limitless. Everyone has ideas on how to make a great game/scenarios. There are a few questions up in the air. The other groups that are waiting will be waiting a while. If everyone works together and is well organized the games will be quick. When we played 5 on 5 the games DOES NOT last more than 10 minutes. Sometimes we won't even get to fire a single shot and we're out or we safety calls all players.
FOR EXAMPLE:If our games were timed at 7 minutes per round and had boundaries where the players would go when they get hit. We would know who's out or not. Most of the time we don't know whos in or out because they are going to their cars. We'de have another set of waiting place for the next team that's going to play so right after the 7 mins is up, the second runs in to play.
This way the game can keep going. This is ideal for when we have over 30 players like yesterday.
I've heard people saying the wait was too long yesterday because when we play the whole field, someone would be in the jungle while the other team is searching in and out of the building.
FPS limitations and round limitations were also mentioned and a few of the players has already invested on GBB rifles and standard mags.
Once we get these types of games locked and well organized, we can then modify them to any type of war games/scenarios we can come up with. But with a 7 man team, it's more tactical and everyone strengths and weaknesses will be put to the test.
Another topic that was brought up was refs and supplies.
We cannot do this without proper gear and supplies needed for the game to run smooth and efficient.
Please see "contributions" for this topic.
Again, this is only an idea, nothing is finalized.
We'll just have more stories to talk about and more moments to laugh about.
See you all in the killing fields!

We can do to simultaneous games when doing a jungle deathmatch, so four teams will be paying. all we need to do is divide the field in two, building to gate we'll have two starting points as we always do and there'll be two teams on each staring point going in opposite directions. kinda hard to explain but I think it can work to limit the waiting. at the same time we can probably even have two more teams go at it in the building and stay strictly indoors. just a thought. Lets all put in your ideas here and we can all build on it. see you all in the field.

game field toooooooo small..develop coral pit.. lets rock

[jion671 / John A.]

That sounds good shooter. With a team of 7. Itll work. We can do a few dry runs once everything is arranged. Pj, we are planning to set up the pit shortly. Just gotta get everyones schedule and transports.

...possible to divide the area: 3 ways left and right jungle (like speedball/CQB), and center building (CQB), this way we can have 3 games going on at the same time. but, we will require more pallet structure for the jungle games.

5 to seven man team for the games is ideal. this is good so then some can be refereeing, while waiting for their turn.

[silentshooter / Arnold]

Exactly what I was thinking.... let's try some dry runs this sunday.

[jion671 / John A.]

Ive sent out a text message to some of the guys today(thursday). I will be buying some supplues at home depot when i get off. Colored tags, blow horn or whistle etc etc.
Lets hope it goes smooth. We have 3 more days to brain storm on rules and stuff.

[snakeyes/allan]

how about on the team of 7 there is like 2 veterans players so it would be fair for the young ones and new players

[paalps / clifford]

Forget this for now guys.... Theres just a lot of people now. We cant even let them comply with common sense rules, much more these scenarios....

Team Samurai Helped Provided a Game variant at OFM using this video as reference. Props to Milsim Junkie

Pretty much the same rules but differnt scenario

we set up a walkpath that the Humans must follow to reach a certain Destination. lets say they Start from the south of the map..they must follow that set up walkpath till they reach the end of the map heading North.(from one end to the other)
Zombies can carry melee Weapons,plastic or foam Props like swords axes nothing longer than 4feet. non lethal melee weapons PLEASE.
Zombies has no GUns
Zombies Just don't die
Zombies when shot are to stay in that spot for 10 seconds or run away to another area to respawn.
Zombies Can Sprint,Walk,scare! but not talk to each other. the Sprint is optional depending on the amount of players.

Humans can only use Pistols with limited up to STD mags and 1 high cap mag.
Humans must follow walkpath NO DETOURS.
Humans if Bite ( the bites has to be 2 hands on you and a simulated bite). When bit you immediately become a Zombie now you have to power to kill your friends.


Games Ends once the human reach there destination

or All humans die and the mission has failed.

RECOMMENDED this game variant is much better at Night with flashlights and glow sticks.

What about crime scenarios? Like the North Hollywood bank robbery.
