I see a lot of questions on game types, scenerios, etc posted lately so I'm going to, for all those that just lurve trying new things, start a full list on game types, new and old, that can be played with speedball. This is only the start, there are tons of gametypes, as well as info on how to play them, and I shall continue updating this. Btw, if a mod has a better name for this thread, rename it.
Flag: (Woodsball) Flag in the woods usually consists of a large open, wooded, enviroment where teams of players attempt to take the others flag, while protecting their own. The winners typically are the team that brings their oppenants flag back to their base.
ex.
Varients - There are a few varients on this game, one of which is like speedball, to the extint two teams fight over a flag, which is hidden out in the field somewhere - the winning team is the ones that find the flag, and bring it back to their base.
Kill: (Woodsball) this game is really what the name implys, teams go up against one another and the winning group is the one that "kills," or takes out, all the oppenants of the other team(s).
Varients -
Comanders: This game, teams openly stalk the others leader, they can win by either killing all the members on the opposing team, or by killing the "comander."
President/Sniper/Hostage: In this game you have two teams. One team is fully equiped, as normal, however, the other has atleast "one" member who has no gun, or any equipment - just his mask, (s)he also must wear an orange vest, or something bright. This game is simple, team "alpha" takes the hostage/president from point a, to point b, while team "beta," or the snipers/commandos/terrorists/etc, attempt to "kill" the unarmed person, when they do, they win. Alpha team's goal is to get the "mark" to point b, if they do so then they win.
ex.
Scenarios: (Multiple formats) Scenarios are really LARPs (Live action roleplaying) with paintball guns. You can have the setting be whatever you wish, typically these games are played as military scenarios, however, they can be set to almost "Any" theme, gangsters, alien wars, return of the living dead, predator, future, civil war.. there is a HUGE library of setups that can be done with this genre of playing. Most often these games are scripted, with events planned based solely upon how the game goes, which teams win, and are a lot of fun. A great example of scenario games, not the only one, however, has to to be Wayne's big one (August 21&22) at

ex.
Hyperball: (Speedball) Hyperball is a game of speedball played on a field constructed of large pipes, and ducts. these fields offer an interesting challange.
ex.
Speedball: Speedball is a game typically played with 3-10 players on a small rectangular field. Speedball uses a point system (going to add further to this later this evening. for now, i'm leaving it as this, on the point systems.) A team wins if they pull the flag from the center of the field, and takes it to their flag station on the otherside of the field.
