The 5th edition of B(ring) Y(our) O(wn) G(ame) Night was hosted by the TTL Gunslingers the evening of April 6th, 2007. The theme for this one was “Bring Your Favorite Ally” so 6 Gunslingers signed up and then invited an ally to enjoy the festivities with them. Participants for this event included XerxdeeJ partnered with Tornado (TAG), bs angel partnered with KP, Demag0gue partnered with Jobyn (TPA), TTL Stuicide partnered with Nomar83 (07AH), TTL Locke partnered with Compton (07AH), and TTL Ender partnered with Jennos (formerly of the Cavegirls). Half of the games were double team madness, the other half were FFA.
The agenda was as follows :
Game 1 – Demagogue’s Game – lil rock go boom on Lockout, FFA
A no shields slayer variant where you spawn with a plasma pistol and grenades (no secondary) and while you won’t find any weapons on the map, you will find the usual piles of grenades. 25 kills wins.
Game 2 – Deej’s Game – Sumo Royale on Containment, FFA
A stagnant KoTH variant that caters to you vehicle lovers. You will spawn with a brute shot and shotty as secondary while wraiths, warthogs, and ghosts whip around the map. 5 minutes wins.
Game 3 – Ender’s Game – Team No Scopes on Sanctuary, teams of 2
A slayer variant with snipers only (primary, secondary, and available on the map). As the name says, there is to be no s*c*o*p*i*n*g (darn our filter!) in with your weapon but beatdowns are ok. 50 kills wins.
Game 4 – Compton’s Game – Balls to the Wall on Midship, teams of 2
An oddball variant where each round lasts only 2 minutes and each player has only 3 lives per round. There is one ball only. First to 3 wins.
Game 5 – Jobyn’s Game – shortened from Have You Seen My Baseball? on Lockout, teams of 2
An oddball variant that is a nod to Something About Mary. There are 2 oddballs and camo with the ball is on while the ball indicator is off. 2 minutes wins.
Game 6 – Jennos’ Game – Bragging Rights on Foundation, FFA
A no shields slayer variant where you spawn with a magnum and no secondary or weapons on the map. The magnums are only to be fired once at each person you are trying to kill. If you do not kill them with that shot then you must beat them down. No dual wielding allowed. 25 kills wins.
Game 7 – Nomar83’s Game – TTLStumar83 on Gemini, FFA
A no shields slayer variant with the primary weapon being rockets and no secondary or any other weapons or grenades on the map. Did I mention everybody is invisible? 100 kills wins.
Game 8 – KP’s Game – FAE on Lockout, teams of 2
A slayer variant with a plasma pistol being the primary and a random weapon being the secondary. Covenant weapons will be available on the map. 50 kills wins.
Game 9 – Stuicide’s Game – Stutacular on Headlong, teams of 2
A standard slayer variant with the primary weapon being a battle rifle and everything else being standard map default. Banshees are turned off, everything else is a go. 50 kills wins.
Game 10 – Locke’s Game – Host(!!) on Lockout, teams of 2
A crazy KoTH variant where everybody spawns with a shotty and no other weapons are available. The hill moves every 30 seconds. Yay for host! 3 minutes wins.
Game 11 – bs angel’s Game – Lightning Slayer on Midship, FFA (originally brought by Compton)
A Slayer variant with 1-minute rounds. Highest score wins each round; 1st to 3 wins.
This event was a blast as always! The gametypes were awesome and so varied. Jennos’ game was especially enjoyable (SWAT with magnums) where you could only take one shot at each person so if you missed your headshot, you then had to go for a beatdown. Locke chose a game called “Host!!” that gave the advantage to the host, and guess what?! The host won! Each game was great but the company was even better. Thankyou to everybody who participated and made this another great BYOG.
