More than two teams might complicate things a bit. Idk

Then there's gonna be the matter of balancing those teams.

The teams need to be balanced carefully around the most powerful characters. Otherwise there's the possibility that the Martian, Krytponian, Grayson, Rita and Allen all end up on same team.


The A-Team.

Everyone else need not apply to Graduate, we have our Titans :P

With capture the flag it could work. I've run a three way game of capture the flag before, mind you two teams were NPCs.

Honestly it's funny how the 'A-Team' also have the worse attitude and temperaments for the most part. Either that or their minds are naive and blank lol.

@Wade Wilson If he grows anywhere near the power of his clone, he'll be one of the most powerful Titans.

My suggestion would be to keep the teams as two teams, but have each team member assigned a (matching) target. This way, our posts will be more manageable, as we can focus primarily on the battle between our character and our assigned target. Of course, some people may cheat (Looking at you, S'tann) by attacking people who aren't their targets, and as a result some nearby do-gooder might come to their defence.

But in general, having one assigned target on the opposite team would make things much more manageable, and it means that people who aren't inclined to read the posts of certain characters needn't read their posts. There would be much less relevant action to take into account, as really you only need to be looking out for activity that might affect your own 1x1 battle. It also means that the smarter pairings might use a collab for the ARC scene, and avoid clogging up the IC with some of the tiny posts that have been posted in group situations so far.

Just my two cents on the matter.

Well that would make a boring game of 'capture the flag'. May as well just designate sparring matches if that was the case.

I assumed we had scrapped the concept of this RP being capable of a group scenario as complex as 'capture the flag' when we struggled to have a quiet conversation in the cafeteria without becoming the singular hub of activity campus-wide. I think something like that is just asking for a big old mess, personally.

With the large number of players, i thought the idea of basically setting up small squads in a similar manner to New X-men: Academy X may be good? Maybe have different teachers act as sponors/leaders or tutors for the team members?

However i also like Tyler's idea! :)

Eh that was with a lack of direction or goals. A simulation will have clear cut goals with each team having a leader to issue commands. That said how good the leader is will depend on both the player and character.

What will likely happen is I'm going to have to break the characters into smaller teams and adjust the game style.

Well, I hope I'm proven wrong. But if you put Freddie with a Booger, you're done for. I want him aligned with Heathers only.

I'm trying to decide on how S'tann would lead. Surprisingly effective, or he can't lead his way out of a paper bag.

PUT IT TO A VOTE!

@Everyone, after giving it some thought I have developed a new A.R.C. scenario that is still essentially capture the flag but more built for training.

The cast will be still split into two teams. Each of these two teams will be made up of two squads with specific goals. While I will design the two teams to be balanced, it will be up to the team Captains to separate their teams into squads.

The first team will be the Injustice Squad. This team will have the goal of taking a number of unspecified hostages as well as activating several points armed with explosives. Once they have taken the hostages and armed the bombs, their goals will be to keep them out of the hands of the other team. Obviously this team will be split into the hostage takers and bomb armers.

I have yet to figure out what to do about an option to kill the hostage to be honest lol.

The second team will the Justice Squad. Their goals will be to protect the civilians from becoming hostages and remove the bomb sites before they can be activated. In the case of a hostage being taken or a bomb activated, the Justice Squad will be responsible to defuse and dispose of the bomb or retrieve the hostage and escort them to an extraction zone. The two squads obviously are bomb squad and rescue squad.

I'm still fine tuning this idea, but this is what I'm running with at this time.

I like it. Definitely better than Capture the Flag. Makes more sense for the school too. To show them how to act in situations like that.

@FacePunchNot being able to lead out of a paper bag would be great to see. But being surprisingly effective would be nice too.
