Re: 2017 Game Speculation

You see, everyone looks to the blimp as a game piece, but really, it's just going to be a simple scoring mechanism for the audience (i.e. the flag this year), as one team scores, their blimp goes up, so in the audiences perspective, they can just look at what team has a higher blimp! Now, you might ask, "why would first do this?", and the answer is simple, Recycle Rush, most people will rave day and night about how that game was terrible and so boring, and First sets this up to make it more interesting for the audience, you're not looking a robots making stacks, you're watching a race between two airships! Wow!

But for gameplay itself, instead of the blimp as a game piece, it will really be the most prominent thing on the logo, the HAT. you see, teams will stack oversized top hats similar to Triple play, with autonomous hats having a ring of reflective tape on the bottom. I'm basing this off of two things, A.) The last two unusual game piece games (so all since 2007), have been shooting based, First is too smart than to let that cycle continue, B.) The 12 year cycle (I'm only half joking here), Stack attack to Recycle rush, First Frenzy to Stronghold, so Triple play to SteamWorks.

Take that with as many grains of salt as you like.
