Paint Ball OOC Talk and Notes

[masterofgunfu]

Wow, I so did not expect the level of interest and so this has gotten more complex that anticipated! To head the beast off at the pass, I'm opening this up for dialog and organization. I am also including players and their journals for behind the scenes arrangements and plotting.

Confirmed Players:
Andrea (masterofgunfu )
Poins (poins )
Michael (luvs_yogurt )
Tyler (basic_powers )
Lohengrin (knightoftheswan )
Urquhart (scots_wolf )
Teja (ostro_goth )
Konoata (konatatheotaku )
Jack (againsttherules )
Alfred (battle_butler )
Voodoo (boston_bruiser )

Possible Players:
A pup of sdelmonte 's ( I will update when I have confirmation)
Jack Bauer (trigger_man )
Sariel (visible_sariel )

Possible guest appearances:
Teresa of the Faint Smile
Clare

So this leaves us with a confirmed number of 8 players and a possible of 14 later this evening. This means we have enough to set up teams. Also, Andrea is unfamiliar enough with this game that she didn't have an objective in mind, just a timed, shoot as many people as you can type of thing. Do we want to switch to a capture the flag arrangement or something more organized?

ETA: So we have 11 confirmed and likely 12. I vote we split into three teams of four and play last man standing, i.e. elimination and the team with the last man standing wins the round. Michael has already volunteered to lead one team, do we have any other volunteers? Once we have team leaders, do you want to pick your teams or should I  just assign them? I f we go with picking, I say Michael gets first pick and then whomever volunteers next gets second pick and so on.

On second thought  and with how folks are tagging, I think we'll stick with the free-for-all this time. I think it's fair to say there is enough interest that we can run future games with more organized planning.

Honestly? I'm all for total free-for-all, but if we're gonna team things up I volunteer Michael for a team leader.

[knightoftheswan]

I like the idea of capture the flag, so you can count me in as a vote for that.

Hey. As a suggestion, we could now have Alfred and Lohengrin team up on someone? (I can bring Jack in, as a possibility). Or we can just have them go their separate ways on the hunt, and fade there.

[knightoftheswan]

I definitely like the team up idea. :D

[yakalskovich]

Capture the flag sounds good to me as well!

Jack is in, I'm just working on the OOM(s) to get him to the right place, post war.

[masterofgunfu]

I figured that was the case. Does he have a preference for free-for-all or teams? We seem to be leaning towards teams and capture the flag.

[againsttherules]

Teams and Capture the Flag works fine for Jack.

Okay, so Jack now just needs to come back into the bar, then he'll be good to go. I'll post that EP tomorrow, but for now, have a Battle Butler.

Sariel in my head likes the idea of teaming up for something like this. I'm fine either way, although the team idea intrigues me too, I admit. I really need to tag Sariel in at the initial post... after work!

[luvs_yogurt]

Holding my tags in it until we've got teams sorted out. :)

I'm cool with assigned or picking.

I think we can safely say Voodoo is not on Michael's team so you guys can play that one through. = ]

Glad to see this is going on so well. Will pass on this since you're full of pups and I am empty of brain.

[bjornwilde]

=(

Well we do seem to have a lot so I understand. I get the feeling this is sure to happen again though and hopefully with better planning!

[basic_powers]

Capture the flag after Team Elimination!

...y'know the irony of the 10 year old leading a bunch of adults is not lost on me. It is entirely possible that Andrea might put Tyler in charge of one team.

[bjornwilde]

I am loving this idea too though I am beginning to wonder if we shouldn't save the teams and organized play for next time? We seem to have a lot of different time zones and availability so I am wondering if a free-for-all might not be best for this game. Future games can be more organized?

[basic_powers]

YESSSSSSssss...
