I was thinking about basketball while playing in Pushcannon Beta 3. Aliens were like at stage 2 and humans still at stage 1 (XD), and when the aliens almost died (i was in aliens) I went into the hole or "vent" or "dretch hole" or "pipe" or whatever else you want to call it, i went kind of deep so then nobody could shoot me, even from below, so the humans' only choice was to use a cannon and shoot nades, using shotguns, into the hole and blow me up. Somebody had called, "basketball?
" or something like that and everyone was like, "oh yea!" or something like that, I had also noticed that while staying in the hole. I eventually got killed and was thinking about this basketball idea, "Nade Dunk", laterwards. I was thinking if that the alien and human structures were placed correctly then this would kind of be an official basketball competition.
First of all to make the layout of the game there should be at least 2 eggs on the roof corner of the human base where the corner of the map is also, these should not be killed, the rest randomly placed (best if placed near the human base) could be killed for credits for the shotgun, if all humans have a fair amount of credits then grangers should stop building eggs and suicide going towards the turrets and go as dretches. All dretches will go into the pipe etc etc, make sure you "C"rawl on the wall instead of not crawling and pushing each other downwards (and make sure to be quite apart since the nade may make a double kill unless if you want that as a double score), as you are in the hole you could say "dretch in" to inform the humans that there is a dretch in that hole and say "no dretch" to inform the humans that there is no dretch in the hole, if you want a chance to play then just say "I wanna try play now
" or something like that and someone might say "im bored cuz i pwn too much (eg. LuST) ill b aliens now
" or something like that.
Second of all for the humans there should be at least one telenode on the roof near the cannon of the human base, there should be an armory and some medistations for quick reload and healing, there also could be another medistation for a target landing while falling which may be another challenge. Try to get a shotgun, the eggs placed randomly will provide you credits, you might also need to buy a biokit or a battlesuit for faster healing or less damage respectively. That's about it! Now you wait for at least one dretch to go in, now go into the cannon but try and "fly" toward the hole and shoot a nade in it to score, but you can't score unless you get a kill (or double kill) (this is getting very basketball-like), and try to land on the medi placed on the roof of the human base (don't go for the ones near the armory that is quite nooby but this is optional) but this is optional. A few aliens could try to be an obstacle, making it much more challenging for the humans, they are much like defenders, the obstacle aliens could do whatever they like to prevent the humans from shooting in the hole, like dretching in the cannon hole and spinning around and being a dragoon and block part of the top and chomp away, the aliens should NEVER, EVER try to attack the humans' base or kill the humans on the roof, this might consider a vote on a kick, same goes for the humans trying to kill the eggs required for the game and the overmind (since aliens may want to evolve to be an obstacle) and killing aliens while they are trying to get ready. If a specified alien wants to evolve to be an obstacle quickly, then a human builder should build spawns randomly (best if near the human base) not on the roof but just on the grounds and not inside the base because things will start to blow up, and provide evos for the specified alien. Human builders should try not to decon the machinegun turrets for if a granger, for example, wants to become dretch fast and without giving stage increase to the humans. Please try not to use jetpack while on stage 2 because then it requires no challenge at all, and please don't use lucifer cannons or xaels since that also requires no challenge unless if the dretch goes deeper into the pipe.
The aliens and humans eventually both need stage 3, the aliens need stage 3 for obstacle-ing, the humans need stage 3 for battle suits. The game may sometimes need to restart due to time limit hit and everyone could either decide to keep on playing basketball or just play a normal game.
All we need now is for everyone to follow these rules if they want a basketball competition.
Good idea right? Any questions?
