Time of possession game for OhJeah! fun servers

[as red as black]

to be played on the 10 v 10 ball server....ball_football

the goal of the game is for your team to have the longest time of possession at the end of the game.

But wait? How is is possible to get 20 players in a pub server to play this game?

It is inevitable that some people will actually be lame party poopers and try to score goals...so they're built into the game!

the game ends when enough party poopers score goals to end the game.

PROTIP: keep the ball locked in your spawn

amazingly, we played a 10 v 10 game of this that lasted 40 minutes...people who think it's dumb just go to other servers...people who think it's fun play along...people too lazy to go to other servers score goals that end the game...Coolbeans players just sit back and ratio whore! It's fun that all players can enjoy!

Seems like it would be easier to just make a map with no goals and probably design the spawns better so that they aren't bunkers. Then put it on a server with a time limit.

Agreed. If it takes off, I'd rather this be a new type of game rather than to impose on the Ball maps. Otherwise doing this in football is merely camping the ball.

It is a completely different style of playing, and I would think would warrant another type of game play to compliment Ball or TDM, etc... As it could end up being a very long game unless there are time limits. Forcing players to go to other servers is not ideal.

If they took the existing maps and removed the goals and instituted a time limit. Sounds like a lot of fun if done right. Call it Possession or Keep Away.

Well most kids these days play "Hog" with a soccer ball.

Heres my idea for this new game type:

There could be four spawn points on the map for this ball or whatever you want to hold onto for a certen amount of time.
But only one ball would spawn since you can move freely around.
You could make it so you get points for every 2-5 seconds your team has the ball after lets say 20 seconds I don't know it could disappear and re-spawn on the other side of the map where one of the said spawn points are.
The plane spawn points could be at the top, and the ball spawns could be in the far corners so that it would not be unbalanced for one team to get the ball for more than the other team because it would re-spawn closer to the other team and rotate each spawn.

Also if the other team that does not have the ball wants to end the other teams possession they could kill the plane with the ball, you could do the same with the bomb in TBD where you can rid the ball that way and then passing would happen more often between team mates.

The time limit could last either 5-10 minutes depending on the point ratio and hold times.

The ending point number could be 50-100-200 points possibly.

With the points you could also do you get 5-10 points every 2-5 seconds, but the team with the ball or whatever gets one life. This probably would end quicker but just throwing out ideas.


A name for this game could possibly be; THM, Hog.
Since the other game names are only 3-4 letters.

sounds good

it's way more fun when you randomly declare
1 2 3 4 i declare a time of possession war!

taking over a game is wat makes it fun. then the party poopers get into it too and try to score...so it's like the ultimate battle of two different games clashing in one big orgy of fun
