Event Ideas?

I'm starting to run out of ideas....So... Yeah. Follow this format. Then, post here.

Why should we do this?

Consult the sprites/jones

Check the sprites folder....or ask the main event guy(atleast from before) for ideas

They alway work...and players vote most of the time...(p.s...More zombies/RE/Random verizon shenanigans)

Event Name: Alien Isolation replay

Description/Plot: This event would happen pre-deployment of Ripley or anyone for that matter.

It begins with the station going completely dark, all players are survivors, and there's a single drone. (Eventually up to a dozen drones, as the game progresses). Survivors have to band together in groups in order to survive, seek leaders for groups, and fight other groups for precious supplies. Medical supplies, food, etc, meanwhile the single drone is stalking, and abducting humans.

There will be little to no weapons involved, and if there are, they will all be non-lethal. There will also be NO marines, which is why joining should be prohibited to maintain the survivor ratio, and to prevent rogue marines from deploying.

If I get selected, as a moderator, to execute the event, I'll be creating at least one pre-existing groups, which would be the Colonial Marshals, the security force on the station. Or what's left of it.

This event also includes A.P.O.L.L.O, the Artificial Intelligence running the station with a custom lawset that protects the drone as per special order 939, although NOT killing the Crew, it is more hampering the crew from harming the Drone. To ensure the round's safety, I want the AI to be played by a staff member.

This event will end with the station's orbital course decaying, and slowly descending into the giant it's surrounding, and explode in the atmosphere. (Nuke)

It should be mentioned, that over time drones will be added. Ghosts will be asked to join in as Drone.

THIS EVENT DOES NOT INCLUDE A QUEEN!

Why should we do this?
I feel a complete survivor based round, with pretty much martial law and no clear command structure =-= chaos will bring a nice perspective to the gameplay, rather than rebels or anything else. The absence of Marines will also cause for different gameplay by most of our members, having to change their strategy. Instead of killing, it is now survival, and those who lose, will die, also enabling them to eventually become a Drone themselves.

This event will bring a non-standard round, and hopefully less-violent round where roleplay will play a huge part, on both the Alien and Human side.

I did sprite working jacks....so...someone with debug could change the sprites for borgs

Borgs are getting removed, once we convert to New Bay.

Event Name: Corporate Payoff

Description/Plot:

A representative of the corp would be sent along with the marines. They would have knowledge of the aliens and their effects. However they would not be willing to share all of the knowledge they have on the alien. Their objective would be to somehow get an alien onto the escape shuttle. If that means someone is impregnated or they have it restrained it would be a victory. They would not necessarily be hostile towards the aliens or the marines, instead they are looking to rise in the corporate culture.

Why should we do this?

A sense of deception may be an interesting to a server that primarily focuses on the teamwork gameplay. Also, having a turncoat that doesn't necessarily try to hurt the marines would be better than having a full on traitor mode.

Sounds very much like Alien Isolation, though with a twist. That's just my catch. Overall though, could be a fun thing to do as a non-standard round.

Note: This is a big even at all.

Event Name: Side Objectives

Description/Plot: Have CC tell commander about side objectives through his headset. The side objectives:
- Retrieve the stations security camera records (A red data disk that will be admin spawned and renamed,"Security Camera Records". It's location could be in security, or bridge,) and bring it back to sulaco and send its contents to CC for analyzes. After the marines have completed the objective they should be awarded a amount of crates suitable to the amount of aliens and marines currently alive(So if they're an even amount of marines and aliens they should receive a single crate. If the round is at the common stage of aliens severely outnumbering marines and aliens corning marines on sulaco they should receive enough crates to outfit a good amount of the marines left. All dependent on how strong either side is in order to try to avoid making it to unbalanced.). The crate would contain laser weaponry which does more damage to aliens.

Why should we do this?
It adds more things on the marines agenda.
It breaks away from the usual routine.
Just something else to do that doesn't distract the marines to far from their main objective.

I do this usually of the time, with 3 Disks. Each has their own virus.

Or, you know, the plot from Aliens.

I am glad you recognized it.

Closing this, due to the current outlawing of events.
