Title: Thread of Faith (or: what will you do in Melee: Battleground ?)
Post by: Gnjus on November 20, 2014, 08:38:37 pm

So the KillStealKickStarter Campaign for Melee: Battlegrounds is on. In these harsh & ruthless times Crowd Funding a project of any kind is not the easiest thing to do, no matter its nature. Market is brutal, people are fed up with false promises, whether they lack money or time is not so important but if they lack faith & belief then its even worse. This is what this thread is all about: having faith & believing in success of this project.
Anyone can pledge a few bucks and hope for the best but not anyone can have so much faith in success to pledge something more than money at the moment when even some basic have not been made certain. I'm so convinced that this thing will go through that I'm gonna pledge myself into trying to bring something into a game which is not even remotely confirmed. I expect you folks to write down as well what you intend to bring into M:BG, once its done. As we already know: almost everything will be possible (in one way or another) so what will you do in M:BG to enhance it as a game and help its community ? How will you behave & play ? Will you do any modding ?  What kind of clan will you try to create & roleplay ? What kind of videos will you make ? What kind of maps or items will  you try to create ? What area of yourself or the game will you try to improve ? What kind of ideas do you have and from what kind of sources ?



I'll start:

In M:BG I'm gonna try to make some maps (if the Map Editor is not too complicated to use). The first scene I'll try to make will be to commemorate one of the people who are creating this awesome game: our dear Zimke Zlovoljni, historical researcher, the Deckard Cain of Melee: Battlegrounds. I'll make a map of a location known as Kosovo Polje, a historical place in Serbia known for a great battle back in 1389 AD. Once I'm done with the map (ofc I plan to study its appearance to make it as close to realism as possible, the way Zimke likes it) I will try to organize an event: a recreation of Kosovo Battle, between Serbian Army and the invading Ottoman Forces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kosovo). Hopefully we will have more than enough historically accurate gear to equip both armies  :wink:.
I will take command of the Serbian Army with high hope that our dear Zimke will join us, as one of our leaders & heroes, he can be our own Miloš Obilić if he wants. I will make it as accurate as possible, we will fight outnumbered and no Turk will be allowed to fight on our side, not even Reyiz or Cicero. They are free to join their beloved Kapikulus on the other side, who will hopefully be there to make things easier for us.  :twisted:
History tells us that Serbs lost this epic battle but those of us who know better are familiar with the fact that its a lie (constructed in the Congress of Berlin, 1878. and maintained ever since), Serbs actually won (though they lost a good part of their prominent leaders due to some unfortunate circumstances) but over the course of time they (I won't reveal who at this moment) twisted it into a defeat and to this day its what kids at school still learn.
Hopefully - our dear Zimke and the rest of us will rewrite history (or even fix it, whatever term you prefer more) and we will have one hell of an event with some great fun for lots of players.  8-)

I have a few more ideas of what I would like to do but they are kind of a secret that will only be revealed to certain people.  :wink:


Remember: its more than a year away from becoming reality so we have some time to kill and even if we forget what we pledged this thread can at least serve as a reminder of our faith.

Or our broken dreams.  :twisted:

Now - let your TRUE pledging begin !!!!!!

If I save enough money by the end of the campaign to pledge for it (not even sure what pledge level this would fall under), I want to request a salute animation:

(click to show/hide)

A fencing salute, not what you were thinking...
Uses: aknowledging your opponent before duels, taunt a bunch of enemies in battle into attacking the lonely honourable man who takes the time to kiss the cross of his sword before slaughtering his enemies.

Since I am paying $150 total on this game I get a home somewhere (fuck if I know where it will be). Regardless! I will be opening a Sex and Waffle house where every sexual encounter purchased comes with Horns' Blue Waflle's topped with my secret whip cream recipe. I already came up with a slogan too: If the hookers didn't make you cream, then my waffles definitely will or the next hooker is free! That is all, carry on with your lives.

Since I'm clanless and not a competetive player, I don't really know what I'll do with the clan name that came with the 300$ pledge.

Maybe I'll create an adventurer's guild (neutral clan) for people's alts and casual players who wish to remain anonymous.

What to do with that custom animation though.. anyone's got any ideas :lol:?

Ill be the worst agiwhoting, vaegir mask, kuyak wearing, min maxing, stab abusing, hiltslashing, spamming, no skill 2h bundle of sticks in the entire game. This will be my contribution.

Also, if there is any kind of taunt or voice chat i will spam the shit out of that thing. Ill beat the dead horse and then shoot it and then beat it again. Ill spam voice on spawn, mid battle, Thank you kind sirs after a kill. Ill be QQV-ing so hard you will hear me waaaaaaaay before you see me. Ill be so fucking relentless people will wish to choke me trough the screen. FUN FUN FUN FUN

JK. Seriously now, ill probably just be roleplaying a bandit if the bandits reform.

Definitely scene making in the beginning, while playing a bit as spear-man (because pokeys r 4 lyf bruv), and keep on helping the dev team whenever requested since the early days.

Since organizing and reenacting important battles from the 13th century is a possibility, I'll put my hands into work onto the scene for a Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Las_Navas_de_Tolosa), which was an important step on the Cristian Reconquist on the Iberian Peninsula. And I'm sure I can count on our Spanish friends to make this happen.

And later if Plated armor gets implemented, even reenact the Aljubarrota Battle.


The rest time will tell.

Corner twitch.tv streaming, tournament organization, community news and videos like I've seen some enterprising goons like L.D. do for Dota 2. Then become corrupt event manager and take cuts from any tourney pots and accept bribes and steal money in any way possible.

Or more short term maybe write some copy for M:BG's website or any other future promotional material and give it to the devs to use if they ever want. Short and to the point helping it sell.

I plan on poking and prodding along the development process to make sure that the Tavern/community map will be awesome. I didn't learn about this until the KS release and I'm totally stoked. I'm hoping for some real spectacular things from it. Stronghold seems awesome as well, but I think it'll be awesome without me heckling the team about it.

I may upgrade my $150 to $300 to get an animation later on. If I do I've got a 'loosen up' animation in my head that I think will be awesome pre-duel. Many other animations will probably be great pre-duel as well.

I also would like to do some map-making, but I don't have any epic plans or anything for that yet.
