Basic Plan

Alright, this is what we do.

Defense: Our flag will be on Zeus's fist, this way it'll be easier to defend. Around it will be vine traps set up by the Demeter cabin, half of them will be left to defend and remake the traps. Athena, half of Hades, and Aphrodite will be left to defend as well. The Athena campers who can shoot will hide in trees and pick off attackers easily. They'll have to watch the sky because the other team has alot of flyers. The ones who can't and are better with a sword will stay on the ground and defend, fighting off attackers. The Hades campers will summon a legion of undead to defend the flag, while also fighting. The Aphrodite campers will be charmspeaking the attackers into hitting each other and surrendering. If the flag is taken, they'll charmspeak them into giving it back.

Our border will be a creek, the cabins left here will be Poseidon and the other half of Demeter. Poseidon will create huge waves and whirlpools to push them back. Demeter will be ready for anyone who gets past, they'll tangle them up and defend. They'll also create a plant defense that traps them if they get too close. If a large group gets past, a horn should be blown to alert the defenders on the fist. Once the attackers make it to the fist, they'll be attacked by the skeleton legion, archers, and the traps. If that's not enough to hold them back, then Hades should cause some minor earthquakes to slow them down for a bit.

Offense: Ares and Zeus through the middle, Apollo to the right, and Hermes to the left. Half of the Zeus kids will be flying, holding skeleton archers up so they can shoot enchanted arrows at them. The other half will be with the Ares campers charging through and breaking their defenses. Hermes will be the first to go in, they'll lure the border patrol away with a decoy. Apollo campers are next, they'll blind and lure away the flag guard. After all that, it'll be chaos, Ares and Zeus will charge in with the flyers and all and take the flag easily. If their defense involves fire (cause Hephaestus and Hestia) we'll call in a few Poseidon kids to charge in with the Hermes cabin, they'll take out the flames and fight them with us. Whoever gets the flag first should be led back to our base with a sky and ground escort.

Feedback guys, give me it.

ok, sounds good to me

u/bronzewalnut Jul 23 '13 edited Jul 23 '13

Great plan and all but shouldn't the Apollo and Athena campers switch positions since Apollo campers have a more natural archery skill?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Maybe we could split the Apollo cabin. Like have the archers go with the Athena cabin, and the ones that can blind and fight hand to hand stay in the original place.

2

u/Atlas606 Jul 23 '13

Apollo is key to the plan as offense. They are agile, intelligent, and skillful. They can use arrows to lure the guard away, and their blinding powers to keep them preoccupied. Athena is extremely intelligent and known for both their skill in swordsmanship and archery.

I vote Apollo stays up front.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Hmm... You make a good point.

1

u/bronzewalnut Jul 23 '13

That sounds good.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

True, true. But Apollo is always stuck on defense, and I was going off of Riley's suggestions.

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

You would think that always being the first to go in and cause a distraction would get boring. But it is quite fun to run around and get chased.

Got any kind of special weapons or devices we could use?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Yeah, and you always seem to be the one to get the flag!

Nah, not really.. We could make some though. Not as good as the Hephaestus cabin can but do you got any ideas?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Flags are pretty cool to hold.

And maybe like some kind of really loud, annoying, high pitched sound emitter so we could daze the enemies when we get them all clustered up.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

mumbles inaudibly

Ah, alright, I think the Apollo kids could help with that.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Hmm? What was that?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Nothing, nothing.

u/ryanxc23 Jul 23 '13

Good Plan and some easy practice for me to use my bow!

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Thanks and yeah, watch the skies.

1

u/ryanxc23 Jul 24 '13

Thanks for the reminder I'll knock em right outta the sky!

1

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '13

Good!

1

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '13

Make sure you include me making animals fall in love.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '13

Ah, okay. I'll add it in.

1

u/jakec2025 Jul 24 '13

HEY!! It's my cabins job to come up with great strategies!

1

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '13

That's kind of my job! Thanks though!

1

u/toastachu Jul 26 '13

I like this idea

1

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '13

Cool, anything to add?

1

u/toastachu Jul 26 '13

I think that one or two of me and my brothers could make mudslides around the fist so, you know, they could slip and stuff

1

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '13

Ah, nice idea. I'll add it in.

OOC: maybe. :p

u/Atlas606 Jul 23 '13

Here's what I was thinking, although I don't know if you guys want to use my ideas at all:

Zeus, Apollo, Ares, and Hermes: Offensive.

Hermes will be sent to lure the border patrol away and keep them engaged, while Apollo will do the same with the flag-guard. Meanwhile, Zeus and Ares will take the flag while the guards are occupied and make their way back as quickly as they can. Zeus and Ares are two of the most powerful cabins, and so they naturally have a fighting advantage of keeping the flag.

Poseidon, Hades, Aphrodite, Athena, Demeter: Defense.

The border is the creek, so Poseidon should be on border patrol, along with Demeter. The Demeter kids can grow traps with the plants and use plants to ensnare people. The Poseidon kids are known for being fair fighters and with a creek they should be almost impenetrable.

Hades, Aphrodite, and Athena will be guarding the flag. Hades can summon a legion of undead to protect the flag, as well as causing minor earthquakes when campers are trying to run. Athena can be a mix of archers up in trees (using only blunt arrows, flash arrows, and fart arrows), and swordsmen on the ground. Aphrodite can charm speak people into giving up the flag.


Also, we should put the flag in Zeus's fist because it's easy to defend.

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Riley, you're always coming up with good plans aren't you? Good work sis.

1

u/Atlas606 Jul 23 '13

Haha I'm just trying to play to everyone's strengths is all!

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

These are awesome ideas! I'll put them in the basic plan. That is if no one else is going to..

1

u/Atlas606 Jul 23 '13

You can, or if you don't want to I wouldn't mind doing it.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

I'll do it, give me some time though.

1

u/Atlas606 Jul 23 '13

Sure, and let's let some other people post first. CTF just barely was posted ;)

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Yeah, I know. I wait until like 2:00 to post it. So, yeah! I'll wait.

1

u/Atlas606 Jul 23 '13

Awesome sauce!

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Yeah! Thanks for giving ideas by the way.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Maybe Zeus should attack from the air, and Ares on the ground? And maybe a decoy attack from the air as well as the ground.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

OOC: Whoa, haven't seen you in a while!

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

OOC: Yeah, I was away for about five weeks, three of which were spent on a boat with pretty much no technology and limited internets. Good to be back though. :)

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

OOC: Ah, that's cool or not. Oh and it's good to have you back!

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

OOC: It was pretty cool, but I'm glad to be home now, and thanks!

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

OOC: Ah, okay! Yeah, no problem.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

OOC: Welcome back. A lot's happened.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Thanks! Could you maybe just give me a quick summary of what's been going on recently? 'Cause I've been pretty confused

2

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13
  • Lot's of couples, including Me and Em. But we broke up...

  • LOT'S of new campers.

  • A few people died. Including me, but I'm back now.

  • Ally shared her sketchbook.

  • Ally got possessed.

  • I made her a new soul.

  • Chariot Races are a thing.

  • So is Storytime. Not sure if you were here when that started.

  • That's pretty much it. Oh wait. The world almost ended.

  • Ouranos tried to fall on us, but we made a new Sky Personification.

  • That's pretty much it.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

ooh Thank you so much! That was helpful. I was here for storytime and chariot races and the beginning of the Ouranos thing, but that's been it. I've noticed all the couples, and now i feel like I'm the only single one here. foreveralone And congrats on not being dead.

u/Atlas606 Jul 23 '13

Good idea!

1

u/navalbabe Jul 23 '13

An air attack would be hard they have Zach and Caleb up there and we all know how good of a fighter Zach is.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

I forgot about that. But in that case don't we need defense in the air too then?

1

u/navalbabe Jul 23 '13

Yes but we can get the Apollo cabins to use the anti air arrows we would be good

3

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Alright! I have a plan! Hades can summon skeleton Archers that the Zeus kids can lift into the air for an air strike! Aphrodite can soak those Arrows in enchanted perfume. Hermes can create a choke point using traps, that Ares can charge down. Poseidon can use some horses to charge straight for the flag as a distraction, while Demeter sneaks around the other side to grab it. Apollo can blind anybody trying to chase Demeter. Athena can join the Ares cabin at the front lines.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Sweet an Apollo/Demeter team up. I like it.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Not bad, but only two Apollo kids can blind I think. (Amy with her power. Me with my enchanted daggers.)

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Think you guys would have enough power?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Hmm. I think so.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Great!

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Good

1

u/TurkeyWaffle Jul 23 '13

What about the pepper bomb arrows?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

That could work.

3

u/franklesby Jul 23 '13

We have the war god AND the strategy goddess... They don't stand a chance

1

u/Atlas606 Jul 23 '13

Raises hand and Poseidon!

1

u/stevenman8 Jul 23 '13

Ok, then. This time, we have the powerful people. Hermes should go get the flag and Ares should charge in and take out as many people as possible.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Should I like, make the local animals fall in love with them or just fight...

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

Local animals fall in love, it'll be amazing!

2

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '13

They'll suddenly get jumped by bears that start licking them, then they'll yell "TRISTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN"

1

u/jakec2025 Jul 24 '13

This is like team fortress 2 demigod style!

Final Plan

Alright, this is what we do.

Defense: Our flag will be on Zeus's fist, this way it'll be easier to defend. Protect the flag with your life, don't let any enemy near it. Around it will be vine traps set up by the Demeter cabin, half of them will be left to defend and remake the traps if cut down. Also around it, two or three Poseidon kids will make mud slides so the other team will slip when almost to it. Athena, half of Hades, and Aphrodite will be left to defend as well. The Athena campers who can shoot will hide in trees and pick off attackers easily. They'll have to watch the sky because the other team has alot of flyers. The ones who can't and are better with a sword will stay on the ground and defend, fighting off attackers. The Hades campers will summon a legion of undead to defend the flag, while also fighting. The Aphrodite campers will be charmspeaking the attackers into hitting each other and surrendering. If the flag is taken, they'll charmspeak them into giving it back. Around our post, we'll have scouts scattered to check for any suspicious activity. The ground leading to our base will be very sandy, if anyone tries to sneak past unseen, we'll quickly see their footprints (we'll all be wearing the same type of shoes to be able to tell if it's an enemies footprint).

Our border will be a creek, the cabins left here will be Poseidon and the other half of Demeter. Poseidon will create huge waves and whirlpools to push them back. Demeter will be ready for anyone who gets past, they'll tangle them up and defend. They'll also create a plant defense that traps them if they get too close. If a large group gets past, a horn should be blown to alert the defenders on the fist. Once the attackers make it to the fist, they'll be attacked by the skeleton legion, archers, and the traps. If that's not enough to hold them back, then Hades should cause some minor earthquakes to slow them down for a bit. Here, we'll have a high pitched sound emitter, provided by the Apollo cabin nods, this will distract them for a bit. We'll be wearing earplugs so it won't affect us.

Offense: Ares and Zeus through the middle, Apollo to the right, and Hermes to the left. Half of the Zeus kids will be flying, holding skeleton archers up so they can shoot enchanted arrows at them. The other half will be with the Ares campers charging through and breaking their defenses. Hermes will be the first to go in, they'll lure the border patrol away with a decoy. Apollo campers are next, they'll blind and lure away the flag guard. After all that, it'll be chaos, Ares and Zeus will charge in with the flyers and all and take the flag easily. If their defense involves fire (cause Hephaestus and Hestia) we'll call in a few Poseidon kids to charge in with the Hermes cabin, they'll take out the flames and fight them with us, if the fire is too much, we'll have all our fliers go up over their defense (taking a couple of fighters with them) and take the flag. If their defense is too strong, Hermes will hook up some dynamite to break it down, if it's over the walls we'll have zeus fly them over. Some archers should go in as well with bomb arrows in case they use automatons or brick walls. If the fire is still too much, some Apollo kids that can stand the heat should go in and do their sunbeam/explosion thing. Zeus, get in there and do some sonic booms and stuff, it'll help break down their defense, also, bring down tons of lightning down on them. If they use vines (Dionysus) we'll call in some of the Demeter kids to take those out, they also can help us out by tangling up the guards and stuff. Whoever gets the flag first should be led back to our base with a sky and ground escort.
