79TransAm Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 obviously the POW rules would have to be built in. But they would not be allowed to regen if they were shot. Their mission alone would be to survive captivity. Sure you could work something in with them where they gave the info after so much time. That combination idea is pretty cool. Thanks for the feedback guys. I was more looking to see if people would be upset cuz they felt the pratice was unsafe. Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 One game i played a while back, our team of was fighting it out with the other team and we came across a wounded enemy, waiting for a medic. Standing up gun above head etc, and he asked whether i wanted whatever token thing he was carrying as part of the scenario, as i'd completely forgot. Can't remember if i said bang, or fired a shot into his boot, but he was eliminated and we took the money/ fake drugs/token or whatever it might have been that game. As for surrendering... well i've been taken prisoner before in woodland games. I absolutely hate being the last person left in a bunker, or one of the last few. Right at the end of bunker games is when the BFGs, Mk 9's and moscarts start getting thrown in, and i really don't want to be around when that happens, so i'll sometimes walk, even if not hit.

bridchr Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 sounds like fun, but it'd be less painful in the "Firing squad" was a bit further away Link to post Share on other sites
Kov Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I am happy to see, that once again, we have started to speculate about stock market trends for the next quarter and the socio economic conditions of Cambodia… and how they relate to airsoft (of course).

bloodbath mcgrath Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 when we play with hostage scenarios,we have one person who has a spring pistol w/ an empty mag, and they're the only one who can kill the hostage(s),other than the team thats gotta rescue thembut they can stiill be used like sheilds Link to post Share on other sites
PariahWolf Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'd say *fruitcage* em, as long as you don't aim for the face. I do building clearance on auto, someone always gets a load of rounds in the face. Pretty much the same thing, but less painful. Link to post Share on other sites
ninja master of coffee Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 This sounds about the best possible way ever to encourage bullying in airsoft. I can remember a few months back people discussing POWs on some forums or another, in my opinion its a terrible idea. It woudl at best be borring for the captuered player and at worse fairly unpleasant if the other players got carried away. It could work with the dowened pilot senario because that person had chosen to be in that position, if its veeryone you are playing with fire, what if soem kid is "captured", pretty horrible experience if they are being told they must talk or be shot by 5 24 year olds with tricked ou AEGs. Airsoft is for fun, this kind of *beep* is the perfect way to mess it up. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 You should be allowed to execute prisoners, but only if you're dressed as a Nazi and use a Luger P08 to do the deed. And not just Wermacht uniform or something, I want proper black SS uniform. And afterwards, you have to sip wine whilst sending the executed man's friend to be tortured.

Asher Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Man, this is one of the nastier ideas I've come across. I have to say, I'd rather leave roleplaying the executioner off the airsoft field. We've been putting in groundwork saying we're not psychos and ne'er do wells and that its a game of honour and sportsmanship, and then someone comes up with the idea of popping other players in the back while they're kneeling down? Nice. While I'm all for a variation in scenarios (try playing CTF only for 3 years ) I'd strongly suggest that airsoft isn't the place for mock-up executions. Assasination scenarios, fair enough, but shooting prisoners? As discussed above, ethics aside, how would it work: there's no real incentive there unless its a long game and there's some system for handover of the prisoners at the end. No one is going to "talk" when all they have to worry about is mooching back to the safe zone for a fag. Now, human shields might be a different kettle of fish (but you didn't hear me say it).

Sledge Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Nah, I wouldn't worry. I'd be one of those German officers who listens to classical music, treats his prisoners well, and says "So you see, we are not all barbarians." Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 As opposed to the German officers who listen to heavy metal, beat their prisoners on a regular basis, and sing, "Großdeutschland! F___ JA!"? ® EDIT: Back to Happy® Present Tense Land! Link to post Share on other sites

79TransAm Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Most people are missing the point that this would probably only be used in Millsim scenarios, so i'm talking about having pretty strict rules and players who can play airsoft without going through 3000 rounds also the prisoners could end up being just role playing personal kinda like some people play civilians. Sometimes you just have to have patience. I had to play POW and wait for my team to come rescue me, which they didn't but i escaped. Link to post Share on other sites

Belladonna Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 tbh, ive dry fired at myself and 'commited suicude' before being captured. and once when captured, i wasnt searched properly, and shot my way out with my usp Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Y'know, the good thing about a capture rule is it would give pistol manufacturers a reason to make some bits of kit I'd like to see. Blowback Walther TPHs and Colt .25s, maybe a Beretta .25 for old school Bondage. Link to post Share on other sites
