Persia marched into battle pompously. Armed with bow and blade, coupled with the massive size of their forces, was a power to be evaded. Near to no competition expected, safe bets were made. Little did the Persians know, their intelligence was scathed when opposition was met. Their army was losing forces, and quickly. The Spartan force was not one to belittle. What they lacked in number, was made up in strength. The Spartans quickly annihilated all opposing forces, one by one. At the current rate, they would lose one Spartan per fifty Persians, decreasing consistently per Spartan death. The last few Spartans were still a formidable threat. Naturally, they were the most powerful, having survived the duration so far. Although very slowly, the Persians exposed the weakness of the Spartans by executing the Persians’ one strength: numbers. Sparta was down to one man. He drew his final breath, and expunged his closest opponent with a sword directed towards the left atrium of the heart, sitting directly blow the sternum. Reacquiring his weapon a final time, he parried a blow to his thyroid. The blood from the previous opponent splashed into his face. As he looked around, his eyesight was groggy. There was not a single enemy in the vicinity. A tear fell from his eye, and dropped onto his bloodstained spear, washing the iniquity of the Persians. He fell to his knees, crying and joyous of victory. In the far off distance, the faint sound of a horn being blown was heard. At the end of the horizon a fleet of thousands of Persians marched, accompanied by their leader, Xerxes. A meter away was a fallen comrade’s buckler. He grasped it firmly, complemented by his short sword. His determination vigorous, he prepared his ultimate endeavor for true victory.


This week’s feature vote almost ended in a three-way tie, but 300 came out successfully. Made by Bartoge (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/member.php?u=403), this is 300.

lol the only thing is you made the story so epic, that I think you forgot to elaborate on the gametype a little bit XP

That's what the link to the original thread is there for, or else it would be redundant ;)

Congrats Bartoge! Great writing Amoeba. You told me it was going to be cool, and it sure was. Null really picked great pencil pushers.
Great gametype, well deserved feature.

This was most definitely deserving! Although I wasn't here much to witness the 3 way tie that was going on, it was still yet another fun and interesting feature! As for 300, I enjoy playing it, and I'm glad to see it featured! Congrats Bartoge! Btw, anyone else notice the nice surge in featured game types lately?

Hmmm... maybe that will hint at people needing to create more fun and interesting gametypes, cuz they have a better chance to be featured ;). lol... congrats Bart, you FINALLY got a feature. All your stuff has been thrown into the Top 5 yet still keeps getting knocked out. You deserve this one bro and I have been a strong advocate of it since the beginning.

Congrats again and can't wait to see the video... lol. Did we ever decide to change this to Spartans instead of 300 due to Copyright thingies?

Also aMoeba, you should have italicized the first paragraph so it shows that it is a intro story based paragraph... I think it would have made the write up just a little better...

I can't wait either. Zac has some work to do. But we did discuss if it ever got XFOGed but if it ever does than I'll change the name if I have to and definitely add a description. Im also probably going to up the default rounds to 4 and some other minor details. Im also trying to get a harcore version go tahts even more realistic. There is limited ammo but ever weapon on the map is a sword, so we'll see if that works. I'll probably be inviting people today and throughout the week. Just a heads up.

Also going from his train of thought... I would have split it into more distinct paragraphs so it looks "cleaner" and put in in a . Just so you could tell it was a story, apart from the write up, more easily.

This is all just opinion, of course.

I actually think if you did that every weapon on map should be snipers... cuz they have the least ammo. Persians die easy enough and swords and BRs can be picked up really easily from dead persians... so yeah, put the sniping weapon set, I think it would work great...

Guess what Amo? I read this and it was by you. See I told you I would read your stuff if you unlocked the locked thread in our VM's. So thanks you. Oh and congrats Bartoge.

Yay!

Congrats to Bartoge on this feature. It's very well deserved. The amount of originality and flexibility that's built into this gametype is amazing. It's rare that you see something this original these days, and so I applaud you sir.

Video? Lol.

Wow. Great write up Amoeba. I forgot it was a description of a Halo game. I want to play this along with a bunch of XFOG's. I'm thinking WoW host.
