The Gas4Cash
and Sincere Gas stations on this particular
stretch of interstate had been competing for years. When the oil
Crisis struck, competition became a matter of survival. Both were
keen to take all the custom from the north/south crossing over the Palamino
Ravine and it wasn't long before both had resorted to hiring creepers to
sabotage the opposing gas stations. High Explosive mortar rounds
rained around the rival gas stations, until the bridge over the ravine
collapsed from structural damage and lay as rubble at the bottom.
The Federal Highway Commission- not yet disbanded through corruption charges,
built another bridge a little further up the ravine as a temporary measure.
This too was destroyed in a subsequent melee. Further attempts to span
the gap were abandoned halfway through construction, leaving incomplete
bridges along the length of the ravine. The only way across now,
was the long way round, except for the criminally insane, who took advantage
of these new "ramps" to hurl themselves into destruction.
After a while, the rival
stations noted that people had a habit of filling up with fuel before making
the cross country route, rather than wait until reaching the other side.
In the mornings, Gas4Cash reaped the benefits
of the northerly traffic, whilst in the evenings Sincere
did likewise with the south bound cargo carriers. Not content with
sharing the profits this way, each decided that the only way they were
going to drive the other out of business was if they were the only one
with gas to sell. Thus started the Gas Wars- as each station sent
a tanker, specially equipped with "Injekta-Gaz" extremely
high rate fuel pumps across the ravine to steal supplies from the opposing
fuel reserves. Vigilantes and creepers alike were hired to "protect"
their employer's moth from any threats. This included the opposing
stations tanker and escorts, naturally.
Rules of the Game:
Playing the game is
Moth Escort style "capture the flag";
Red
Team represents Gas4Cash, the popular
independant franchise, while the Green Team
fly the flag for corporate goliath Sincere Gas.
Both teams are equipped
with one Moth Tanker truck each, the Sincere Gas
variant for Green team, and the Generic
Gas variant for Red, remember- only
the Tankers may pick up fuel (the flag) in this game.
Each team may also employ
up to two extra vehicles as protection/interception. Team configurations
must comply with the Moth Escort rules as detailed
on the GUNfighters web site, with
the obvious exception that Tankers replace the usual Cargo vehicles.
Other Possible Twists:
To play as a standard
Moth Escort map, fuel is no longer the issue- many drivers, after navigating
the off road route, want nothing more than to stock up on beer, chips,
smokes and tickets to the Foxy
Cat "Dollar a dip" night
to relax with. In order to corner the market, each team must rob
as many crates of "supplies" (capture flags) as possible from the rival
gas station.
Other Alternatives:
If mortar lobbin' missile
hurlin' good old fashioned CTF is your bag of nuts, and this map fits your
bill, then go for it!
Anyway- hope you like
it.
