Strictly Scenarios!!
We have put alot of info onto this blog, and some of it spills from one topic to the next. This topic is strictly for Scenarios. I want ideas for future scenarios, possible story lines, maybe a really good combat movie, possible props that could be used. As we develop Rangerball, we need to plan ahead. Since the Scenario is the meat and potatoes, we need to develop them well in advance. When we have well thought out scenarios, and can advertise them well in advance it pays back in tons of players wanting to play. Operation Black Thorn has got their attention, but now we really need to plan for the next big one to really sink the hook in deep. Our next big scenario should be the one that really gets attention and has everyone for hundreds of miles talking. So we need to start brainstorming, and making a record of the ideas, so we don't lose any of them. And all the ones that don't quite measure up to a really great scenario, well we develop those ones for our small scale scenarios to build our skills. I would really like to see everyone in the Rangerball community put their "two cents" in here. And don't be afraid to share your ideas, the only dumb ideas are the ones not shared. So soldier up, Rangers
For some time now, I've been thinking of a Mt. Suribachi scenario. And now that movie, Flags of our Fathers, is out so its on my mind again.
ReplyDeleteJust off of I-15, going north towards Cedar and just opposite the Black Ridge, there are several rocky hills on the west side of the freeway. They have been burned over by the wildfires, and look kind of like they've been hit with multiple artillery barrages.
Every time I drive by there, I look at those and think how cool it would be to have a scenario where the Blue team has to get an American flag up the slopes and post it on top.
There are fire roads there, but I've never driven on them. One of these days, though, I will do a recon to see how feasible it would be.
Okay so Black Thorn is over. My next thought for a scenario, is to have Green/Red transporting the weapon to a base to hold the weapon for safe keeping until they decide how to use it. Blue team launches another attack to try again to capture the weapon before it can be used. And perhaps Yellow is lingering out there to take a shot at retreiving it as well. I was thinking that this could be done in Taliban canyon, with the horse-shoe shaped area as a natural point for a base. Set some bunkers, along with some Green/Red players waiting for the returning team. Blue attempts to cut them off prior to making it to their base. This scenario based on Black Thorn could drag out into several mini scenarios over a period of time.
