George Orwell's 1984

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   George Orwell's works are compelling and deep stories. His book 1984 is just begging to be made into a game of some sort. The war between the 3 super nations I think would make for a great scenario. Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia all fighting an endless war for control of the world and their people's minds. There was a theme in the book about these nations constantly shifting alliances with each other in order to dominate the 3rd nation but then switching over again. I can predict a slew of confusion and anarchy in this kind of scenario with leaders of each team agreeing to fight against one team for a bit but suddenly breaking the alliance making team members suddenly turn on each other sort of like in World at War. But there is also a 4th group known as "The Brotherhood". They are an anti-Oceanic terrorist group lead my Emmanuel Goldstein bent on the destruction of "Big Brother" the leader of Oceania an his party government "Ingsoc". They could perhaps have a role similar to a combination of mercenary and spy. Perhaps have members from all 3 teams secretly a part of the Brotherhood who choose a few new recruits throughout the day throwing off plans of all 3 major teams, causing unrest between allied teams, and have a massive points awarded to whoever can capture or kill the leader of the Brotherhood.

Leaders and players taking on the roles of the Brotherhood, Big Brother and Goldstein I think would make for a great day of paintball. 

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.

	speak of the devil... I was just wondering when World at War would be this year. Is there going to be another one in 2012? I can't find any details about it in the forums or on the website calendar.

	The 2012 Calendar has not been completed. If there is a 2012, there will be WaW. The best way to assure there is a 2012 is for as many as possible attend the remaining games this year. Space Balls Toys for Tots New Years Shoot Out

	There WILL be a WAW. We plan to screw up the schedule a bit by pushing it to late April or early may in the hopes of more cooperative weather
