Now i aint one to complain when it comes to thing maps! i love the idea of one player being the thing and that everyone kills each other because they get paranoid about it! Now i have decided to make a map alot like that! It has a simple idea! Not revealing plot this is the basic design: You are sent in, when you split up you are on your own and you must try to find your way back! But what makes it even worse is that if you die alone, the other players wont know, if they dont see you die.... same effect. you become the thing and your goal is to kill the other players, what makes it worse is that the thing will controll some other "things" around and can lay traps. so the game is not run by fancy triggers! It runs by how smart you are! I am looking for some (2-5) beta testers. to become one just ask! but you are expected to test and give feedback for everything! So msg me pls!

One thing you should do is to constantly display large amounts of "blank text"; that way, people can't communicate to each other by typing! biggrin.gif

From what it sounds like (You gave a very vague discription). This is going to be exactly like the "The Thing" maps that are already out. Except for the thing will have other "things".

You gonna make all the players the same color? That'd DEFINITELY drive them crazy. The Marine Boot Camp map did just that.

i agree it kinda sounds like the other thing maps but it sounds pretty good to me with the ,if you die the other players wont know, that makes it even harder biggrin.gif

Heres a suggestion, to eliminate all talking from player to player just hyper trigger some blank text. this will really get the paranoia started disgust.gif

I'll be a tester as well. I'm only free on the weekends. This sounds interesting.

This is how things work out, you are sent in to find out what happend (watch the movie) and you find gunk and sht all over the place, (again from the movie) you move on into the sewers of the norwigen base and get ambushed by thease "things" moving on(if you survive) you will find a key and a hole in the floor, at this point a team member will be split from the group, While he/she is away there will be no comunication between them and if she dies.... well looks like the team has some trouble, one thing the "thing" player must remember is that if they are tested with a blood test.... you will be found out, if so you got choices, run as ur human charicter or merg into the thing and try to take em out. (please note: There will be a way to trick the normal blood test. but the super blood test cant be tricked)

Can i please have all want to be testers to post now, i will start sending the map to the players

To Tm-mastaa, i have no idea of the rpg you are talking about. This is based AFTER THE MOVIE! if you watched it, you will notice how at the end (before they freeze) they talk about how one of em might be the thing? and how the got no way to stop it if he is? i am going on the basis that the dude was the thing and that he infected the other outposts in the antartic. The whole game is set in most of the bases.

To keep it simple for idiots: Its a game driven by your trust and fear of each other and by the objectives i got around. If anything i kinda got it based of resident evil (Puzzels) but there will be: Ammo to get, keys to find, Puzzels to solve and side quests (optinal) to complete for bonus stuff, all testers should expect a small but play-able demo withen the week.
