APenders Custom Game Competition - APender - 06-08-2021 APenders Custom Game Competition
Alright CTs, it’s time to step up your game. For the past few months I’ve been playing the same rounds, with the same people, and the same assortment of games. Your rounds are becoming stale, it’s time for you to learn to make your rounds fun. Of course, there’s a lot of things that make a round boring, so I’ll be focussing on just one aspect, map games. Particularly what you do when you don’t have one available.
What was the last non-map game you played? Was it poker? Eyespy? Guess the mag? An overplayed jump game?
I reckon those four games represent about 75% of the non-map games I’ve been made to play in the past month. Although these are some good games to progress your round with, they shouldn’t be relied upon.
There are infinite possibilities for fun and inclusive games, but instead the CT strategy has been optimised to neglect the T’s fun and instead optimise their deaths. This optimisation has not only drained the variety we once enjoyed but has restricted the chaotic essence of Australian jailbreak.
If we ever want to be able to experience Australian jailbreak as it once was, we need to move toward a CT playstyle that promotes fun, rather than the optimised playstyle that restricts it.
In an attempt to kickstart some motivation, I’ll be hosting a competition that will hopefully provide you with a myriad of games to play. There are some hefty prizes so I’m looking forward to seeing your contributions.
This is the official announcement of the beginning of the competition, details are below.
The Prize Pool
1st Prize : VIP 6
2nd Prize : 500,000 Credits
3rd Prize : 250,000 Credits
The competition
You are to create new games for CTs to play over a 2 week period. It’s that simple, make some fun games for CTs to play that meet the following criteria:
You can submit up to 3 games, each game you submit will be judged individually. That said, you will not be able to win more than one position in the competition.
I implore you to create a submission regardless of what you think your chances of are for winning as I'll be documenting all the viable games into a "game library." Submissions will close 2 weeks after this announcement. You are allowed to create admin games; I’ll list some notable admin powers that could be used in your game:
Submissions
You can submit your games here,
Ensure that you follow the provided template as best you can, your submission should clearly describe how to play your game and the conditions required for it to be played.
You’ll see a section at the bottom allowing for the optional attachment of a video demo of your games, although providing a video doesn’t inherently give you an advantage it is a great way for us to judge how
your game works and how fun it is (I recommend attaching one if you’re going for the prizes). Submissions will close on the 6th of September
Judgement and competition progression
The judging team will be comprised of the following staff members,APender
Decroded
Chiswell
Anthonyy
Dotx
As stated before, you will have two weeks to complete your submission. At the end of this period the judges will decide on a top 5 from all the applicants, these top 5 will compete for positions in the second section of the competition. The second part of the competition will begin shortly after the announcement of the top 5 (~3 days). The details of the second part of the competition will remain undisclosed until its announcement. Further information Although the previous sections of the post should provide you with all the information you need, you can contact me on discord if you have any issues. (APender#4176) A special thanks to Sebastian, h0wlze and dotx for their contributions to the prize pool. Thank you to zackie for showing me how to use google forms. RE: APenders Custom Game Competition - APender - 07-08-2021 Alright, I've been getting a lot of questions about the VIP 6 reward. Click here to take a look at a list of everything that's included in the package. You'll receive permanent Ultimate VIP with all the perks listed as if you had purchased it yourself. The VIP 6 package includes 1,500,000 credits along with heaps of in-game perks. RE: APenders Custom Game Competition - APender - 23-08-2021 The competition has now been extended.
You will have another 2 weeks to submit your game ideas. Remember, your games do not have to use admin powers. The best games are often ones that you can have fun with without relying on staff. Nevertheless, we look forward to seeing what you can come up with. RE: APenders Custom Game Competition - APender - 22-09-2021 Thanks to everyone who submitted their games, I had a great time reading through all of them. You all made great contributions to my Jailbreak Games document. Out of all the submissions the judges and I decided on a top 3, these selections were based on the originality, involvement, and playability of their games. Congratulations to our winners, 1st - JBreakfast - Are you a Jew
2nd - AntiSocialDora - Pin the tail on the Donkey 3rd - Zamma - Shark Tank / The Chase I encourage you to try these games out, 'Are you a Jew' is great to play if the T's want some strategy, 'Pin the tail on the Donkey' is a creative game that challenges the T's memory and accuracy, Shark Tank is a great prompt for a voting game that has some awesome potential for entertaining situations, and 'The Chase' (recently renamed) is a fast paced game that has a really fun variation. The guides for each of these games are below: [font=Univers,sans-serif]ARE YOU A JEW ( 4 T’s )[/font] [font=Univers,sans-serif]Requirements/Environment: Can be played anywhere. You’ll need a staff member to give Negev’s (Trial+). You’ll also need 4 CT’s, each keeping track of a T’s Negev.[/font] [font=Univers,sans-serif]How to play:[/font]
[font=Univers,sans-serif]Note: The strategy of this game comes from each T trying gauge their shots based on other peoples shots. This can introduce mind games where T’s lie to each other about their mag. T’s have to be stingy with their bullets to make it to the final round but have to be careful not to shoot the least.[/font] [font=Univers,sans-serif]PIN THE TAIL ON THE DONKEY ( ≤ 5 T’s )[/font] [font=Univers,sans-serif]Requirements/Environment: An open area with a wall to shoot at, T’s will need to be able to stand a good distance away from the wall they’ll be shooting. You’ll need a staff member to provide weapons and visual effects (Trial+).[/font] [font=Univers,sans-serif]How to play:[/font]
[font=Univers,sans-serif]Note: If using flashbang_projectile to blind the T, ensure they’re attempting as soon as they’ve been flashed, otherwise they can wait until they’re slightly unblinded and shoot.[/font] [font=Univers,sans-serif]SHARK TANK ( ≤ 6 T’s )[/font] [font=Univers,sans-serif]Requirements/Environment: Medium to small area, T’s will need to be able to move around a little to get creative. You won’t need staff for this one, but you will need an even number of T’s. You’ll also need more than 3 CT’s so that voting is fair.[/font] [font=Univers,sans-serif]How to play: [/font]
[font=Univers,sans-serif]Note: This game is supposed to be fun, make sure you’re encouraging that nature with the way you play it. Make sure you come up with some fun “issues” for the T’s to play with, there’s a lot of potential for great pitches if the issue is good.[/font] [font=Univers,sans-serif]SHIELD SHANK REDEMPTION (THE CHASE) ( ≥ 10 T’s )[/font] [font=Univers,sans-serif]Requirements/Environment: Requires admin given shield (Trial+), and a large confined area. E.g. revolution car game area or a soccer field. A gun check should be run before playing this game.[/font] [font=Univers,sans-serif]How to play: [/font]
[font=Univers,sans-serif]Note: This game is best played with more than 10 T’s, so, if the chosen T wins allow him to choose some T’s to die. If you kill the entire chasing team then this game can’t be played with more than 10 T’s. If the chosen T loses, he dies.[/font] Thank you for all your patience regarding the competitions progression. I'll be releasing my Jailbreak Games document soon, it will have complete documentation of 40+ unique games that you can start playing in your rounds. |
