Hindos's Ongoing Suggestions[24/04/2012]-Story&Desc Idea add

[hindos]

I apologise for the triple posting, but I put a lot of effort into this thread and nonetheless it ends up in the ashes. Here is another attempt to resurrect it:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Storyline & Narrarting:
Currently ace of spades is 'just' a dyanmic shoot peope = win kindof game. Whilst this is fun and addictive adding a bit of narration and story to the game would add a nice little touch. Having the ability for each server to write and display their own min-story as to why people are fighting and a rundown on the mission not only would increase immersion but also allow's you to understand the 'why of it' and how you should go about achieving this mission.
Thus I suggest having the ability for servers to load a short piece of scrollable text on the startup screen when you join the server(the one where you pick teams and it shows controls), this can give a little backstory to the server or be used to set rules and such. You can press 'S' key as any time to view this text again. The posibility to include a small avatar size image at the top-right corner would further add immersion as it would seem as though you're being instructed by, for example, a general. Thus the server owner could write their own text , which could include a description of the map in the form of text, rules, backstory, and whatever else the server owner wants as well as a choice between predefined assesment commander avatars.
That is idea 1 for adding text-based immersion to the game and a little bit of backstory to each battlefield.

The second idea is to have a writing short-story contest in the community, in which wielder of the ink and quill in the community can battle against each other with the power of the pen. The competition would have some sort of reward, of the grandmaster's choice. The purpose of the contest would be to write a believable, realistic, well-written, backstory to Ace Of Spades following certain guidelines of your choice e.g. an alternate universe where the battle of 'nam escelated beyond control. This would be a good community event and draw popularity, have a lasting benefit by having a beautiful backstory, and is barely any work on your part!
The story could then be displayed in the menu under the 'story' button, when you make a in-game menu allowing newcomers to read a little bit of plot behind it. This will also allow players to immerse in roleplaying better as we know what universe we're imaging, and can create ideal images of ourselves around that propsect. Thus allowing for more fun when playing the game and a optional roleplaying element for loyal AoS fans.

Not all of them, and putting more detail in suggestions is just as good as making a new suggestions >.> . I went very thoroughly into it whilst most suggestions are basicly, 'can U add heliwopters ?'
