    Default Team Ready, Aim, Fire! Round 1

    Hello, and welcome to a spin-off of Silkenfist's Ready, Aim, Fire!

    As the title suggests, this is a team-based variant of Ready, Aim, Fire. This first round will be an experiment, to see if the standard rules work with teams.

    The rules are like those of the standard game (linky!), with a few additions:
    1. The players are divided into two or more teams.
    1a. At recruitment, the players specify their preferred team.
    1b. Players who don't specify a team will be placed in a random team.
    1c. If one team has more members than the other(s), I will randomly move players around. I'll first try to even it out with the players who didn't specify a team.
    2. You can not shoot players on your own team.
    3. If your team is the only one left standing, you win. There are no individual victories in this game - only victories as a team.

    If this works, I might try some additional rules, that allow players to interact with their team mates. Something like covering a team mate, which somehow protects them. Any ideas are welcome.

    For this first round, the theme will be the Trojan war. The teams are the Greeks and the Trojans, obviously.

    Registration is open until Saturday, 18:00 GMT. If you want to join a specific team, please specify which one. If you don't specify a team, I will add you to a random team.

    I'm with the Greeks.
    I'm VERY busy due to real life and whatnot, so I'm taking a break from all WWs and SGs. I should have warned y'all beforehand, and I apologize if I've inconvenienced any of you due to my many autolynches. I really should have stated how busy my life is.

    Count me in for this one.

    On a related note, wasn't there a similar game that started signups - Battle For Azure City or some such? You could be a different role (eg Goblin, Undead) and had slightly different "Shoot", "Shoot air", "Shoot self" commands that interacted. I can't find it right now, but it looked a great twist for a multi-person ready aim fire.

    Oh I remember that! Whatever happened to it?

    Course by now its timed out and been perma deleted.

    I think I'll stand out of this one and watch. Ready, Aim, Fire never seemed like a game that should be played in teams. Its a Battle Royale to the death!

    P.S. Battle Royale is a great book. Just saying.

    @V HaHa! That alone is almost enough to make me change my mind and join.

    Seeing as we apparently didn't make it clear enough just what we think of meatloaf day.
