Colonial Marines Save Christmas

Post by Edgelord » 11 Aug 2015, 01:19

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Include holiday game modes such as a Christmas event.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
► Show Spoiler

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): blah blah round variance blah blah

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Honestly if I didn't win you over with the story then this probably isn't going to happen.

I laughed a lot harder than I should have for what time it is. +1, if only for a good read and for making me laugh.

Though I DO admit events are always fun, and I can only imagine the hilarity we could get up to with a Christmas aliums.

I love the idea, but more backstory may be needed... Perhaps the Survivors are replaced with something christmas themed, like elves from the North Pole, and their own Christmas celebration has been ruined, perhaps because they were all implanted and/or killed...

Or, if all of the 'toys' were stolen, all of the marines would have to rush the Hive in one large group, armed only with pointed sticks, their fists, rocks, and possibly knives. That would actually be something entertaining to watch.

Implying they wouldn't be armed with the Spirit of Christmas.

What if that was actually implemented as a physical weapon..? If It can be set so that the enemy Xeno's can /only/ be harmed by the Spirit of Christmas, and give all of the Marines one to use instead of guns -which were all nicked- then this could be a pretty fun game. Maybe it can be a red and green pine tree branch with an ornament on the end?

If this happens at all, it will be because the great and powerful sprite overlord wills it so, and makes the sprites. Also, we'd probably have to make an X-mas version of the map...

I'll be honest, I'd like to do this in the future, but I can't gurantee anything for December.
