Dark Business Fun Op (2 DECEMBER)

[LCpl (Ret) McKnight]

Dark business has always seemed to be a blast, so I figured we should give it a go and see who's up for it. This game mode is full of betrayal, mistrust, scams, and the occasional clean deal.

 

For those unfamiliar with it, dark business is a team vs team game type focusing around blufor, redfor, and greenfor. The game takes place at night. Greenfor has hostages that redfor wants. Redfor has an ammo truck that greenfor wants. Blufor wants the hostages, and are willing to take them by any means necessary (whether it be by negotiations or by force). Blufor has NODs, optics, and other HSLD kit along with transport helicopters, but blufor is also limited in numbers. Greenfor and redfor don't have NODs nor optics, yet they have superior numbers. This leaves greenfor and redfor with flashlights, vehicle lights, flares, and other traditional light sources to see and navigate. Hostages serve as bargaining tools; they can either cooperate or attempt to escape. There are commanders for greenfor, redfor, and blufor; it's their job to conduct negotiations between the factions, to develop a ruse / scam, or to organize an assault - one game is never the same. All roles are equally important, regardless of who you play as. One guerrilla, rifleman, or hostage's actions can change the course of the entire game.

 

There are no AI serving as key players in this game type. Greenfor, blufor, redfor, and the hostage(s) are controlled by players. The one exception is a script that makes a few random civilian AI drive around the map. This is for balance reasons, otherwise blufor in the helicopter(s) could see a traveling vehicle and automatically know it's redfor/greenfor and subsequently light the vehicle up. With AI civilians present, there's also the possibility of the car being a random civilian. There wouldn't be any additional mods nor scripts aside from the aforementioned civilian one, as everything is player driven. The game is typically held on Sahrani, but we could play another map depending on what y'all think.

Just generating interest at the moment. Times and dates will be established soon. I'd like to make this a running event at some point if all goes as planned.
