I had a new idea for a new game mode. It's a king of the hill type game with more than 2 teams. I'm sure we can think of a better name for this, but here's the idea:
First, we pick the hill -- a good centralized location, preferably the middle of a hill. In the middle, there is a stop-watch (or timer, iphone, etc) for each team. The timers are set to count down from 5 minutes. The goal for each team is to start their own timer and have it count down to 0. You can also shut off other team's timers to slow them down. If you forget to shut off another teams timer... oh well! Whoever's timer rings first, wins!
Each team has a spawn point moderately close to the hill. If you get hit, go touch your spawn point and you're back in. You don't need to count to spawn back in. Spawn camping is allowed in this game mode; since there are usually more than 3 teams, it makes things interesting!
It would be nice if we had multiple colored bandannas or something just to tell each other apart. Also, we will probably have to tweak some things, like the distance to the spawn points and the time on the timers. Any thoughts?
