The role you play in roleplay games

Probablly an Interesting factor in a game is the Fact that players are at time s so n00bish about the role they are going to play in a game scenario.

almost everyone I have seen reacts in some sort of way to a role play game.

If i say one team are USA and the others are Terrorist... I usually get a lot of wanna be G.I. Joes! this is fusterating even when the game calls for the opposition to be much larger so to simulate a situation like "BLACK HAWK DOWN"

I actually had an interesting effect on a game that had the same mechanics but I can simply rename the player roles, here how it goes....





OMAHA BEACH Scenario:

German Nazi team is in the bunker system and is of a much higher force than the Marines just storming the beach and must hold there bunkers to the last man for 15 minutes!

Any German shot must now respawn directly and permanently on the beach and assume the role as an ally!

The Game will start out with an Intense battle that will slowly and dramatically turn in the favor of the allies unless the timer runs out!

Now this game calls for a high GERMAN Enemy role and so many players may not want to partake as a NAZI!

...So I switched the names of the Roles and got a different response but it goes to show how n00bish people are so I gotta Fuck with there minds to trick them into playing a role they would enjoy!

Name changes in the same type of game...







THE ZOMBIE OUTBREAK!

A Large team defending themselves in large bunker forts are the Survivors who can shoot full auto but if they get picked off they gotta respawn in the beach respawn as an oponent and can only fire semi!

Just exactly like the other game defenders will be larger than the offenders at first!

the Oposing force are the ZOMBIE team and these guys have been modified by some sick fuck to spit a infectious bb at the survivors.

Any ZOMBIE hit must march back to their respawn on the beach...
Any one who was a Survivor who got hit must now switch over and respawn on the beach spawn as the UNDEAD!

Generally speaking the UNDEAD soon will start to overwhelm and hunt down the last survivors...even overrun the fort and - THIS MAY NOT END WELL!

Of Course there is a time limit just as I said in the other game so the survivors do have a fighting chance to see if they can survive long enough to be rescued!... lets assume that once times up any one not spat on and infected by a Zombie was instantlly rescued!

At This point Now I bet Players would now largely partake as a Defender and there would be only a few Zombies to start... It is only sad and pitiful that players have such sensitive and puny hearts....

You Need a BAD GUY!

I vow to slowly drill ya all scuvy rats until ya like being a bloody PIRATE!

agreed

I have no problem playing an enemy, as long as im playing i down

Same here, I'll play any role in the game. They are all fun.

ive never minded playing an enemy.....hell just by roleplaying as a private military you could be prone to be one of those who fights for whoever has the most money which could always be a terrorist group.

yo Jester i sent you a PM

I don't mind it either. As long as I am able to play Airsoft , I don't mind which team I am in. Just playing the game is amazing why would someone care if your the enemy or friendly forces?? Makes no sense to me.

I went host games at Extreme Rage paintball field and found it interesting when we tried to do a scenario of the killing of Osama Bin Laden.

We got a shit load of wannabe heros and very few takers of Terrorist and it was hard to get someone to do Osama Bin Laden!

The Game was basically a base rape!

Later On I would descretlly hold off letting players know the roles they were about to play...teams were often still called good guys and bad guys...or team A and B.

Later on I would later explain that the roles for the scenario were either reversed or that the guy you were defending as a VIP was not the President but a Dictator!

Some players find role play milisim topics to be very sensative so I gotta dumb it down like a STAR WARS SCIFI situation....VIP guy is Darth Vader or the EMPEROR!
This is what some times has to be done!

Some Players having fun actually got very angry when I later explained the true game so I often have to get people to play a role that is kept a secret until the game is either underway or after the game.

For those who would like to wear Milisim Outfits and look the part... this is even harder to get players to all agree to role play for an airsoft re-enactment game!

Odviously some players think it looks silly and n00bish to dress the role they will play...they do no help by heckling those players who are giving it a try, Might as well all don T-Shirts while we run around with orange tipped guns and look like a bunch of Paintballers!

lol, I wouldn't mind. In fact i'd be Osama just to piss off people. lol it sounds like fun and i def don't mind dressing up, is just i don't have the cloth

I am a bit upset at some players who in a Medic game decided not to actually wear and Carry the Medic bags I provided!

Fearing that they painted themnselves a target... I see This as a n00bish cheap tactic and I feel that they are breaking the rules!

Even more so... how can we get some serious Milisim games going with people thinking like that?

Players got to take there roles very serious! - This is not a kiddy game of laser tag!

Even the Zombie scenario should be taken serious by the dude who gotta take some serious hits!

If The Zombie show any fear the defenders will just camp!... The Player playing the Zombie must charge in as much as he can to create the panic part of the game!

If the surviving player wants to be an ass and camp this is where your team of Zombies go into effect and start to overwhelm the guy!- he cant shoot ya all!

There must be no heckling about any game scenario, its props or the role you will be playing.....This is what makes airsoft so much fun!

In Roleplay in any game you gotta run, ya gotta give it your all!

In one role as a body guard secret service would you take a bullet for your President!
