What Are Some Predator Scenes You'd Like to See.

Post by Exodus » 03 Dec 2018, 18:09

Hiya all,

Basically, Predators are meant to be around to improve the general atmosphere and activity of the game, and to create new opportunities for fun roleplay and things of that sort. To that extent, many of us go around hunting assorted humans and xenos to the best of our abilities, and occasionally do other things like kidnap people for duels.

But, what are some scenes you'd like to see? By scene, I mean a sort of scenario that can be played out. An example of this would be the aforementioned kidnapping for the sake of duels, or perhaps playing some manner of twisted game.

Only Rules are:
1. It can't change the balance of the round.
2. It shouldn't involve gratuitous amounts of player death if possible.
3. Can't be completely and totally memey/has to fit into Pred Code.

Optional 4: Make it so that it could be run by a single Pred if possible. It may be harder to coordinate scenes involving two or more Preds.

I'll try to check in here, see all of the suggestions, and try to run a few of these if they catch my eye. :)

Stun a marine
Teleport him to the pred ship cuffed up
Uncuff him
Toss him a weapon

fight to the death

repeat with as many marines as you can capture/kill

If you keep killing them easily, give them better weapons

I'd say do the same with xenos, but I don't think you can stun/cuff them like this.

Another interesting round would be stealing a robust marine you see killing a xeno or two
Take him back to the pred ship, tell him you're impressed with his robustness and offer him a place as a hunter if he can collect more xenomorph or human trophies

This is something that one predator alone couldn't do. Not only becouse he has the potential to kill entire squads, but also he is vulnerable to die, leaving ship filled with tech to humans.

They are actually very balanced. The difference is ya get marines who think they can rambo a xeno and when they die, they get all salty about it.Mizari 10/12/2018, Xeno mutators

Some Predator should recreate scenes from this:

I'd kill to see the predator laugh scene from the first pred movie recreated in CM. (Midi would probably be required to achieve full effect)

I'd love to see predators making shrines out of what they kill/steal. Maybe a marine corpse sitting on a chair, surrounded by stolen flares/rifles or a xeno corpse placed upong a table with lanterns about it. Something to give an indication that a predator is actually there and means business.

I really like the idea of establishing some sort of Shrines for the sake of the Hunt. It has the double-effect of giving Preds somewhere to put equipment that they would otherwise just leave attached to a body or on the ground. Solid idea, I like it. :)

skinned corpses
While we are capable of "skinning" a corpse, I believe it has the effect of essentially deleting the body and converting it into a "skin" item and a couple of slices of "tenderloin and steak."

That being said, there are always plenty of bodies at roundstart, and it wouldn't be too difficult to chop a few up and leave them scattered around.

Appreciate the suggestions thus far, guys!
