October Game Poll Results & Next Event Announcement

Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in our October game planning poll! We had a total of 5 votes—your feedback is always appreciated and helps us shape our events to best fit the community’s interests.

Based on the poll results, we’ll be moving forward with a normal Sunday event as originally outlined. That means it’s time to gear up for our signature scenario: Counter-Terrorists vs. Black Talon. This game day features dynamic missions, evolving objectives, and plenty of opportunities for both strategy and action—just as described in our initial planning post.

Here’s what you can expect:

• The classic showdown between the Counter-Terrorism Unit (CTU) and Black Talon (Terrorists)
• Branching missions and evolving objectives that change the course of the day
• Civilians, sleeper agents, and perks that carry over between rounds for a unique challenge every session

We’re keeping it simple this time as per your request on the poll—no additional Saturday session or overnight camp. The focus will be on delivering a high-quality, immersive Sunday game that everyone can enjoy.

As always, if you have suggestions for props, scenario twists, or anything else that could make the event even better, let us know in the comments or reach out directly. Your input is what keeps our games fresh and exciting for everyone.

See you on the field for another unforgettable AOJ event!
