Post Sub Rosa
Basically everything you need



A (originally 7-day) fps based on opflash/arma 'Dark Business' mission.
It involves three teams, various mission objective items and lots of shenanigans.

Gold has a disk, can score cash, lose points if disk not at base by the end of round.
Blue has 2-4 stacks of cash, can score the disk, lose points if cash stacks not at base by the end of round.
Grey starts with nothing, can score both the disk (same score as blue) or cash (less score than what gold gets, less score than from disk even with 4 stacks)

From these conditions, players are to derive the optimal score payout. Obviously, optimal would be having both the items. Easier said than done.
Guns are not perfect accuracy hitscan lasers, and there is a prevalent bleedout mechanic. Bottom line: you cannot rely on them alone.
As such shooting it out is largely unadvised, especially for gold and blue. Commonly, gold and blue try to barter a clean exchange of cash and the disk,
while gray rushes to intercept the blue car and to interrupt deals.
Non-marked meetup locations for the exchange include "dead end" (the dead end south of A) and "top right" (top right of map, preferably not in the sight from the straight road of east map side).
Don't bother trying to make a deal alone when facing three opposing team players, though.

You 'score' an item by dropping it at your base.

Practice driving in shooting range first if you are going to drive, the car handling is pretty cheeky.

The game can be great fun but is pretty dependent on what people you play it with.
As the game is in alpha it lacks network optimizations and so transatlantic play is not very viable.

I can host an euro server, if you guys would like an unlisted/private one. (Shared with KAG forums)

It looks fantastically fun, but I really want it to get a graphical update.
I like how stylized it looks, but I feel that some things could do with looking more complex, like possibly the guns or cars.

Sign me up as well. Although I am quite horrible and usually end up trying to shoot all the things.

Will be hard for some people to chose, some people browse both forums, such as Contrary, who would probably go KAG, being a moderator and all.

We have an intelligence advantage, they have an advantage in numbers.
WHO WILL WIN

I would play but I don't live in Europe.

This game is fantastic.
I fell like an old-timey gangster.
They should model the Submachine gun as a tommy gun.

It's too bad there isn't a larger playerbase.

Whenever I play, the other teams always whine about us (usually blue) when they don't cooperate.
Also, some people have a bit of a temper.

Then download the game, and try and find servers with, uh, anyone at all in them, really.

There doesn't seem to be a huge playerbase.
