Hello everyone, this is the Black Friday project, an idea born out of the fact that it turns out that I will be home from college for one day only, and that day happens to be Black Friday. A day for chaos if I've ever seen one.

Every year a day comes around, a day of rest and family gatherings. A day of peace and thankfulness, immediately after that comes a day of celebrating greed as families fight to the death in some cases, over cheaply priced electronics and goods.

Anyway what I'm getting to is that Black Friday is the most unique and unofficial yet most celebrated holiday of America. No event encourages and invites more chaos than this. And I intend to accept that invitation.

So here's the plan, I want to have a contest of sorts.
The day before Black Friday all major stores issue advertisements for their big sales. These sales always attract big crowds, crowds that massively overwhelm whatever help is present at the store. Well using items we want from the ads (We will compose a list by posting our wish lists here) I intend to create a basic scavenger hunt between two teams. The teams will consist of classes. We will choose a class and play out the role throughout the day. We will also do a couple of side projects possibly, such as paid speedruns and coffee sales. I am open to any other ideas for side projects or classes, i am going to post what I have so far but the general rule is this, anything we do cannot be destructive to property or harm anyone.

Also we will be in 2 teams

RED VS BLUE

We will dress according to team colors. And if anyone knew where I could get bandannas for us that would be great!

(Only Snipers and assassins won't have to wear full blue or red, they will however have to wrap a team colored strip or duct tape or a bandanna around their shoulder.)

These are the classes so far:
Soldier [link]
Medic [link]
Watchman [link]
Tank [link]
Sniper [link]
Assassin [link]
Thief/Swiper [link]


The only planned hits so far are of Best Buy, and the mini mall called Marketplace shopping center which contains a Target, Staples, and Meijer. we will also stop by the gamestop, but that will be simply for games, no games included. Several of us have connections of employment there that we do not wish to endanger and they are already going to be swamped with chaos anyway.

Perhaps Toys R' Us? Due to proximity to Best Buy?
(Not sure on that one)

We will be visiting several stores so please submit which ones you wish to visit on Black Friday!

SIDE MISSIONS: Before the pillaging and warmongering begins there will be a wait, a very long wait in the cold, where the masses will grow restless and tired. Who will be there fore them when the bitter air chills their bones and dries their souls till they suffer from a terrible thirst, why yes it will be us the (Insert awesome group name here) coming to the rescue. We will possibly sell coffee to the desperate zombie consumers, does anyone have coffee distribution thermoses? We would probably sell for a dollar a cup put pf the back of a car. Perhaps we would walk around selling cookies too, if anyone knows how to cook?

Next plan: Blade Runners (Because it sounds cool)
Runners will wait outside and offer to run in and buy items for people , for a price. If we finish our scavenger hunt early we can always make new ones by feeding off the needs of others and the typical laziness of Americans ( That includes illegal immigrants as well, you know who you are you bloody Canadians). So yeah, we might make two runners compete for the same list to see who is faster, with the winner getting a larger cut of the pay.

Thats it for now, any suggestions for other missions are welcome.

POINTS SYSTEM: Merchandise - Yet to be determined ( But will be based on how much we are looking for, the size, and the cost)

Soldier Kills: One hit, one point per kill, kill as many times as he wants.

Tank Tags: Every time a tank tags a thief he gets a point

Assassinations by Assassins: 5 points per kill, can only kill each player once.

Sniper Assassinations: 5 points per kill of other assassins, kill as many times as you want.

If Ive missed anything please point it out and share any thought or ideas by starting a discussion or posting ideas on the wall.


I know many of you won't be any where even near MI and for you I am hoping you adapt this idea to your own exploits on Black Friday, for we are the Plague, a group of individuals willing to step outside the norm.

If you wish you can join the facebook group [link]
Or discuss on the deviant art forum here [link]

Also I set up a news story to let people know about this event and encourage them to start their own.
If any of you came from that story, or if you have found this idea to be useful, please visit the story [link] and give it a good rating ^__^
