Type: Acting- This game requires players to follow a set of rules while being creative and giving others a chance to be creative as well. In simple terms, you must act! Description: The teacher is on time for once, TM, is a game where you simply act as the students or the teacher. The teacher, AKA the very scary red looking dude with the hammer, has a job to teach the students whatever he can for at least 120 seconds, when the second bell rings. The students job is simply be bored out of there mind for the same time/survive until the second bell rings as well, where the teacher can lead them to the new area such as Science, Lunch or even the dreaded principals office if one of the students has been bad. Now within that time limit anything can happen such as, a few students decide they want to take Mr. Teacher's radar jammer, (apple). Mr. Teacher doesn't like that very much and decides to break his prohibition and kill them. Or perhaps one of the students plays the old Ninja card and sneaks behind Mr. Teacher and uses one of his already well known skillz to assassinate Mr. Teacher. Stuff like that can always happen in the timeframe you see so it really can become quite fun fairly quickly. Rules: Now to play such a game one must expect a set of rules right! Sort of yes and sort of no. The acting type requires a set of shall i say, requirments and notifications for each player to realize before the game starts. First of all people may expect that since there is an infected they should find a spot, camp and kill it, yet if they are trapped they may unload on the teacher by accident. Stuff like this can be easily avoided if you tell your party these three simple things. 1: This is an acting game varient which means no killing without a reason, hint: act your way into a smooth hammer kill . 2: Your in a school and will be either students or a teacher! 3: Realize that the teacher has a powerful weapon and you don't! Try not to anger Mr. Teacher please. Follow these guides and you should have a rather smooth game. =P Pictures: Wouldn't you love to see my map. Sorry about no action shots. Overview of Skhool! This is the Classroom, With me in there somehow... If you escape the classroom, there is a science room in wait! Hooray? Well at least we disect weapons today! Ahh, the lunchroom. Yet the students are probably going to fight over the one trip mine... What, only one toilet! Oh, there is a sink in there too you know. It's the bathroom. Here is the largest room in skhool, the Gymnasium! Ohes the noes, the dreaded principals office. No student has ever made it out of this place alive. |=O Author Comment: I honestly love a good acting map. I made this map off of an earlier version on foundry and still beleive that I like this one better. There is some interlocking, but as you can see in the last picture the double walls weren't reacting well with the grid in the skybubble so i couldn't do much about evening those out. As far as switches go, walking through walls was cool, if you play this and notice the walls that lead to other hallways in the school, but people wouldn't know that they were traversable. So I put weapon holders on them to tell the players that this wall has something special about it and you should check it out. Notice that the principals office is only accesable through the doors/walls w/weapon holders. As far as comments go freely talk guys, it's a forum and i always love criticism. =) Download Below Map Gametype EDIT 7/20/09: Thanks for the comments as far. I would like to point out that i haven't maintained a 24/7 watch and just read the comments. Thnkz guys for the imput! I would love to hear more from people too however so post if you read this please. =)(=
Sooo, is this an honor rules game? I mean, it looks great and all, but I believe you need to specify a bit more clearly how one wins the game. And perhaps add stats so we know how balanced it is.
I know what this is a remake of: MJ on classroom. It's a Cops and Robbers like gametype, only it relies more on the infected's leadership in the conversation. It's really fun when you have funny friends. Good job on the recreation!
I don't think this kind of map is really meant to "win" on it's more of just a fun thing. Correct me if I'm wrong OP. Anyways it looks well forged for the most part and an interesting concept though I'm not a huge fan of honor rules.
I have a teacher game myself and it is so much fun. I don't know yet if this version is good saying the one on foundry is really good. You don't win in this game. Its for pure fun and laughs.
Traversable walls???Hmmm...How did you do this? Anyway, it's been a while since I've seen honor rule games. They used to have them all the time in halo 2 ( The birth of the infection gametype). I personally want to try this map out with a couple of good friends. Beware of those bad apple MLG fans though, they don't like honor rules and will likely try to assassinate everyone. Oh gee, I hope this type of game doesn't turn into a typical assassinfest or hammer rampage!
Well honor rules in my opinion do not matter on what kind of gamer you are. It mostly relies on age grouping, and whether or not you are playing with people you know well. I can't stand honor rules. I go into a party with little kids playing cops and robbers who will play for 2 hours straight yelling and screaming with high pitched voices. Its directed towards younger audiences with more imagination.
Nice. I havn't seen any teacher/cops n robbers maps on sandbox yet. You do know there is already a teacher gametype though, right? I'm sure your's is good but I'm just saying that the first is really good. Is there a custom power-up that let's you kill the teacher?
I am so gonna play this, and it's gonna be such a blast. This is just what we needed. Very original way of giving Cops n Robbers new life.
Hey thanks 4 the comments everbody. I haven't been checking this post as much as I want to, as i have mentioned, yet to answer some questions I haven't ever seen another Teacher map on Sandbox since i made this one. I also don't ever recall a map Known as MJ either. Yet i am glad to hear some things about my map, good or bad and hope more people begin to notice this post as i really enjoy critisim of any kind. I may also be making a V2, somewhat of a large building schoolhouse instead. -Estmid EDIT: I can confirm that a new map will be made in place of this one sometime soon. Hopefully by the end of september. If you would like i need some feedback for what kind of teacher map people like to play, just message me via forgehub or X-box live, because i really want to make a V2.
UPDATE: I have finally started working on a V2 map. If you would like, i am looking for opinions on what to add, what i should make for the gametype ect. Hopefully when im done you'll enjoy it.
