maplesea?

Bro kept pestering me about re-downloading maple. Maybe I shouldn't mention the idea of retraining OMalley to sell it.

Thought of a nice event plan for maple while considering, tell me what you think. I don't play maple nowadays, so don't blame me about inaccuracies in what I've typed. (e.g No Tuas in maple.) Enemy will be called... Balrog's Army. (Corny, ya. Shorten to BA.) May contain inaccuracies in real-life.

1.30pm GMT+8: Gates 1-5 of Changi Airport Arrival Hall closed. Armed Guards (NPCs) will say it is just a possible bomb threat, nothing worth worrying.

1.40pm GMT+8: Gunshots heard in gates 1-5. All guards went in to fight. Players who enter will be greeted with scene of Monsters and guards duking it out. Player can take damage, also meet actual NPCs killing each other. Huge resistance seen at back of the hall.

1.45pm GMT+8: Explosion throughout gates 1-5. Monsters quickly secure entire Changi Airport. Trapping maplers in Changi Airport. All to be decimated. May have escaped survivors. If have survivors, some can contact outside Singapore map to ask for resistance. If not, continue plot.

1.50pm GMT+8: Monsters of all kinds rush to secure East of Singapore. SAF forces and maplers attempt to stop invasion. SAF deploys forces to secure whole of East Singapore. Monster sends squads to take over mainly: Sentosa, Pulau Ubin and Tekong, before advancing to East (Mainland) Singapore.

2pm GMT+8: While forces busy securing East Singapore, BA sends 50 platoons to secure Tuas area and Woodlands, eliminating what little forces there are there. Effectively blocks all normal ways to Singapore, isolating Singapore from Maple lands. Any players attempting to cross via normal ways will face imminent doom.

2.10pm GMT+8: GMs across towns will let players into Singapore, landing them at Orchard Road, City Hall or Raffles Place, depending on where they choose.

2.30pm GMT+8: SAF forces forced to make base at Central Singapore. All sides taken over by BA. Players would have to push through all sides of Singapore, and secure a huge area to allow landing of NPC forces outside Singapore map.

3pm GMT+8: BA disables communication towers and telephone cables in Singapore, disabling the "All chat" function. Confusions galore!

3.20pm GMT+8: GMs managed to savage a COM channel from satellites and make-shift radio at secured areas. Used for discussions on tactical readout, Island status, and battle coordinations. Radio failure once in a while.

3.40pm GMT+8: Radio system stabilised. Players will be given side-quests to be communication hackers, saboteurs, spies and smuggling much needed weapons and supplies.(Party quest for that.) Saboteurs will go round saboing various key installations behind enemy lines, while spies will spend 20 mins behind enemy line, gathering info on plans, movement, etc. Smugglers will go in groups of at least 4, and smuggle hp and mp pots, and also weaponry. Escape by their own means.

4pm GMT+8: BA learns how to use the military equipments in Armories across their captured territory.

4.30pm GMT+8: Orchard Road base attacked fiercely by rearmed BA. Battle of Orchard begins. If lost, All NPCs and players to retreat to City Hall and Raffle Place, clearing 2 battalions of the BA between the two areas. If won, maplers will be given quest to build an attack outpost at the edge of Orchard Road.

5pm GMT+8: Aliens bring in heavy weapons, land and air, along with our projectile-based weaponry. Scavaged AA guns, howitzers and assortments of stolen rifles, RPGs, rocket launchers are used by NPCs and GMs in defence. Players given ability to wield them. Players given quest to build a transporter between City Hall and Raffles Place. Aerial bombardments across bases. Crashed plane parts will damage players. Enemy paratroopers will attempt breaking through bases.

6pm GMT+8: Completed transporter will bring in reinforcement. (Grendel the Really Old, Perion warriors, Omega Sector troops, etc.) Omega Sector planes breaks through air defence at Southern Singapore, and players are given quest to take over Sentosa. Friendly paratroopers will give much needed ground-side reinforcements. Omega Sector tanks deployed also. Players given ability to drive vehicles somewhere around this mission.

7pm GMT+8: Sentosa should be captured about this time, and now used as base and temporary airfield for Omega Sector planes and heavy machinery. Fight back to reclaim area from Sentosa to City Hall/Raffles Place begins. Aliens deploy their "Ultraman" giant machines to break through City Hall's defences. If Sentosa failed to be reclaimed, Omega Sector will deploy heavy machinery from their area, but success rate over arrival decreases. Command posts and various outposts to be hastily set up across the stretch of land from Sentosa to City Hall, Raffles Place area.

7.10pm GMT+8: Omega sector deploys their "Ultraman" machine in response. Tanks and heavy weapons deployed over. Players can choose to fight on foot, or in land or air vehicles. Fights across all parts of islands.

8pm GMT+8: BA at Raffles Place broke through first part of defence barrier there, players to decide to go as reinforcements or not. Troops there are weary and will not fight as well. SAF forces show significant low accuracy by this time. If Raffles Place falls, players to retreat to other secured areas. If succeed in repelling forces, players are tasked to push towards Changi Airport to secure it and stop in-flowing BA troops and supplys. Players who took quest as saboteurs are now given access to sabotage the road towards Changi Airport and in it. Smugglers allowed access to smuggle supplies and equipments there. Omega troops will attempt breaking through of sea defences there, along with volunteered maplers.

8.50pm GMT+8: Maplers can begin volunteering themselves to attack Changi Airport via sea, landing behind it, making it a two way pronged attack. One way attack if Raffles Place falls.

9.50pm GMT+8: Players begin assault in Changi Airport, with vehicles and weaponry dropped from dropships and carriers. Main fight at runways and arrival/departure halls. Failure to capture Changi Airport, commanders in City Hall will decide if enough resources to fight back again. Not enough, players and troops to retreat and reclaim other areas. If enough, to attempt re-capture.

10.40pm GMT+8: BA breaks through City Hall defences. (Marina Bay if Sentosa road to City Hall captured.) 2 Ultramans, troops, Commander Dark Lord, and maplers deployed to control further spread, and pushing on towards area at West Coast. If fail, all to fall back to other secured areas.

10.50pm GMT+8: All soldiers to attempt taking over Tuas, Woodlands, Pulau Tekong and Ubin, along with the Machritche areas, before pushing on to the Live Firing Area in Jurong, where BA's Central Command Post is located. Battle time indefinite.

If at any one point, players cannot control/defend any part of Singapore and fails to continue, Singapore would be "fallen" and control over to the BA. If so, another event would occur, whereby BA stretches their control of land. All time stated are just estimates.
