OOC: would anybody like to play a one v. one RP?

PLOT: Each player controls a single sniper, the standoff takes place in a partially destroyed village... during WW2. I will try and create a map of the village soon using PSP... then we can play.

You can make you own name for your character, everything else must stay the way it is unless we decide by agreement.

This is first come first serve... if you sign up, you play. BUT you must be an active player, able to write atleast one post a day on weekdays.

We will work together to work out the rules.

TIME: 1945

CHARACTERS:

American Sniper-(Geneticon)
Name: Lieut. Commander Vince Royal
Experience: Green
Traning: Elite
Primary Weapon: Springfield Sniper Rifle w/ scope.
Secondary Weapons: 2 "frag" grenades. 1 small arms Colt 45mm.
Equipment: Standard Camo, 6 days rations, watch.

German Sniper-([NS::]Reallydrunk)
Name: Lieutenant Klaus Baufmann
Experience: Moderate
Traning: Standard
Primary Weapon: KAR98 rifle w/ scope.
Secondary Weapons: 3 Steilhandgrenades. 1 small arms Walther P38.
Equipment: Standard Uniform, 6 days rations, helmet.

Reply if you're interested.

Im in! TAG

I would like my Sniper to be Leiutennet Klaus Baufmann of the SS.

So you want to take the German?

Yeah, that'd be great..i love Sniper Elite for Ps2! :)

sweet... welcome.

I play MOHAA... so I got the idea that an RP like that would be cool.

I will create the map tommorow.

Do you have any suggestions for what it should include?

I was thinking:

Intact buildings/terrain:

A bomb shelter
Lake
Church
Graveyard beside it
A few domestic houses

Partial destoyed buildings/terrain:

A different church (w/ no graveyard)
many domestic houses
a damaged dock next to the lake, building on the dock partially intact
stores in the downtown area
a heavily wooded area in town (damaged though)
a few bunkers on the outskirts

Tad confused, is this a 1v1 or a 1v1v1... Basically, is there still room?

I'd love to play. I haven't had much experience, the RPs I join keep fizzling out, but check my previous posts and you'll see I'll be fine.

[Can this be in Berlin toward the end, because that would give me an excuse to be a commie sniper XD]

Ummm...besides a trainyard you pretty much got em all. I play Mohaa and BF1942, awesome games. Maybe you could add a hotel and a stone bridge splitting the town in half...?

Sweet... those are all awesome suggestions. I'll add them too.

Sorry guys... I only want to play 1 vs. 1... so this is pretty much not open anymore


but if you want to play like a 2 squad WW2 battle... you could start it and I'd likely play.

Hotel could be a bombed out previosly owned by the SS headquarters or somthing cool like that.. lol the allies seen all kinds of interesting stuff when they took over Germany...

Lots of people like this Idea! thats sweet...as soon as i seen it i jumped right on it... :)


If some one starts a similar Rp to this 1 where we each take a sniper or a squad and try and survive in the final days of the third reich im in.....i love this idea!! good thinking!

Maybe those two that want to play could form their own 1 vs. 1.

Also... could you please refrain from using bad langauge during the RP.

I got no problem if you say it with a mask though.. (i.e. h***)

My mistake sorry..just got a little excited ..ehhe.. i edited my swear, there is no need for it..i know ..LOL

You could make a RP about a german squad trying to live threw the last days of WW2.

Yes but it's all about the intrest of others aswell...if any1 else would be interested in taking sides and facing an opposing team..

I will enjoy this Rp

Comment:
Sounds like the Stalingrad "super sniper" duel that occured. The German sniper lost. The Russain then accumilated a over 110 snipes in the area around Stalingrad, even set up a 'sniper school' in one of the tractor factories.

Tag.

Thats amasing...the courage of those men. But this German sniper..does not know the meaning of defeat... :)

I can't wait to see what this map looks like...Geneticon i was wondering if you had Msn so we could discuss further. I have put up a thread aswell...squad based combat..

The german who lost didn't believe in defeat either, even after he had his brains shot out by a 7.62 mm Moissen-Nagent rifle.

Remember, what matters is your aim and how well you are concealed. Not who shoots first. Glass and polished steel reflect light. Might want to figure in time and dircetion you are lookng, and location, might be 'blinking' them with your scope.

Also, the first person to get up generally gets killed. And snipers had to deal with regular infantry, artillry and Tanks as much as everyone else. In fact that is how one of the "students" got out of the war, the sniper in front of her stepped on a land mine which put her out for the remainder of the war and killed the other student. She accumilated 96 kills.

The best way to draw fire from snipers/Machine gunners is to raise a shovel, at long range this looked like a steel helmet, this was also used to taunt other snipers, essentaily saying "haha, you missed! Care to try again?"

Tanks are a noob sniper's hiding place. They tend to get too much attention.
Concealed under rubbe in a foxhole is a better choice.

Machine gun snipers are REALLY dangerous. And the russian 14.5 mm PTRD Anti-tank rifle was a really long range sniper rifle, limited only by the fact that it could not carry a scope.

Wow...thank you for that information, i enjoy reading things like that..helps me to Rp better...more realistic..

mhm. Very cool info... should help our RP.

Don't expect the map to be spectacular... I'm not great with PSP... it will look more like a bunch of colors with labels...

Thats fine, im sure you are move qualifyed than i am..ahaha.. at least we have somthing to go by right?

right... it will not be detailed... just a very basic layout of the town... we can fill in the details ourselves in the RP.

And I'm not so much interested in winning, as I am in having fun. I want to know what it's like to put myself in the place of an American sniper... playing cat and mouse with an opponent. Let's make full use of the terrain to make it realistic and last longer as well. :)

Ok im up for that to the fullest :), i think we will have a good time doing this...

K. but the less either player describes his surroundings the easier it would be to assume he's in the open.

Ok... we're almost ready to go now.

Here is the map:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/iwjoceanbreeze/map1.gif

Nothing fancy... but I think it will do... a good looking generic bombed town.

Map key:

DH: Domestic House or store... pretty much all of these are damaged by bombing.

DFC: Damaged Fishing cottage... bombs have partially destroyed it.

Dock: It's partially damaged.

Light Forest: Not too many trees... but it hasn't been bombed so it's in good condition.

Heavy, Damaged Forest: This forest is very heavy... and it has been bombed... there are tree shards everywhere in here.

Bunker: Defensive German bunker... like trenches.

RR: Rail road.

DRRS: Damaged Rail Road station. This thing is huge and tall... with ladders leading to the roof. Part of it has been wiped out, and the train actually passed through the station when it comes down the track.

Stone Bridge: fully intact.

Road: Self-explanitory... parts are rough from being bombed.

Bombed Fields with Craters. Corn fields which are pretty tall corn... except for the craters created by bombs. These craters are rather deep.

DC: Damaged church. Part of the side of it has been wiped out. Steeple and stairs still intact. Beside it there is a graveyard and high metal fence/gate. About 8 feet tall.

Ch: Undamaged church... fully intact.

Bomb Shelter. Entrances lead underground to the shelter... fully intact.

Hotel: Partially destroyed... but not too badly. 4 stories tall.


The little green lines next to the road are 6 foot tall hedges.



Let me know if you have any questions... we should try to work out as much as possible before we begin.

BTW... this map is not to any scale... it's just a good tool for reference... don't bank too much technicalities on the size and shape of things on the map. It's quite general at points (for instance, the rr tracks are far to big if this was to scale).

This seems like that one movie called "Enemy at the Gates". Anyone remember that one?

read the book, studied the entire campaign on the side. Yes, it does look like that.

Same general story from the looks of it.

Russians send in their best sniper

He has a field day shooting germans and sets up a school of marksmanship

The (german) troops are terrified, so they send in a 'sniper killer', who starts killing the students.

Three day duel breaks out between the aces, moving only at nght and at risk of being plastered over a wall by regular artillery barrages and machine gunfire, and keeping a wary eye for targets, hiding holes, and traps.

One side does something clever or the other does someting stupid (usually both) and the duel is over. OR one side losses by default (steps on mine, gets sick, starves, freezes, run over by a tank, or rushed by reguar infantry)

Sniping is never 'just one on one' it is normally, 'you vs everyone else', no matter wha side you are on. The only exception perhaps is if you are a police sharpshooter, where there is only one or at most a very few enemy target(s) whom generally can't shoot back (since that would distract them from the rest of the swat team on the ground floor).

A :mp5: :mp5: and :sniper: vs :sniper: and :mp5: :mp5:
Is not
:mp5: vs :sniper:
or
:sniper: vs :sniper:

I guess I didn't need to be so graphic... I'll try not to interupt this thread anymore
Carry on.

your commentary is cool hurtful... I'm enjoying it and learning a lot too.

Your right, there is usually not a lot of sniper 1 on 1... but in this scenario... we're just going to try it and see how it works out.

Ok im good, i have reveiwed all the posts, lookin nice...

Any questions? If not... then I'll start the new thread.

No questions...crystal clear.

All right... any specific rules we need to make? And what should we name this?

BTW... the map is layed out so the top of it is north, the right side is east, the left side faces west, and the bottom faces south. I'll try and add that to the made in a bit... but until then it should be pretty easy anyway.

As for ruless.....uhhhh i don't really know? what kind of rules should there be?

idk... have any preference for how long this should last? I would say we should let it go for a little while.

I guess we should just play typical RP rules... with no godmodding.

And let's just have fun with it! :)

So what should we call this?

Uhhh i dunno...lol, ummmm...im not sure how you would name somthing like this...i'll think about it, you have any suggestions....

Something like:

Cat and Mouse
Sniper Duel
The Mutual Hunt

Idk... got any ideas?

The wolf and the sheep? LOL I DUNNO uhhh.... Stand off? you choose :) Hunter And the Hunted?

I like "Hunter and the Hunted: Sniper RP".

I will start the thread and post the link.

One more thing, am I hunting you or are you hunting me? I would think that I am going after you, seeing how it is 1945...

Whoever is being hunted must already be holed up in the village, while the hunter should approach from the west (if American) or east (If German)...

what do you say?

Uhh i will be in the village waiting for you to come get me...we can be descriptive too, like when you come i could of already killed allied soldiers leaving them sprawled about on the ground...like your mission is to kill me..or you just stumble upon me.

It could be important that you clear the village of me..for a good reason..? what ever it could be..

nice... :D

When is the thread up?
