"Siege House"

Sixteen people are put into a building.. and have to fortify it and defend it. Each episode features an assault challenge. Use MILES for the gunplay. Winning the challenge results in rewards like comfort foods, better protective materials. Each episode would also have an individual challenge for immunity, and at the end of the episode the "After Action Review" where one defender is voted out. But here's the twist. The person voted out goes to work for the aggressors. They know your defenses, know who the leaders are, and help plan the next assault and can win their way back into the game by accomplishing a specific task during the assault. This would force two people to be voted out.. one permanently! You could go the two-team route with the winner of each siege challenge determined by the number of "survivors." I can see the merge episode.. the two teams have five minutes to salvage materials from their house before the bulldozers move in! Of course one episode each season would feature a zombie attack

Hosted by Jesse Ventura.

I'd watch it!

I'd watch it and audition for it.

I want to say something inappropriate. But I can't say anything inappropriate enough. I would want to bear this show's child, dammit!

We'd save that for Sweeps Week. "Next, on very special episode of Siege House..."

Allow flashbangs and/or paintball claymore mines...

...or this:

to simulate a claymore...

...and it might be REALLY interesting.

Problem there is those are far too likely to cause real injuries. MILES lets people know they're out without leading to lawsuits.

Also flashbangs make for terrible television. Same for smoke grenades.

True...

But it sort of livens things up a bit...

...and makes it more of a "tactical"/"team" game that a single good shooter can't win solo. It allows a team--usually the defensive team--to present a more challenging adversary by maximizing both the shooting, thinking, and leadership skills of the people available.

It also keeps it from becoming a "one-for-all" sort of game because--in those close quarters--someone trying to employ a mine or a grenade typically needs the cover of (and cooperation of) teammates to not become team-killing targets. The communication and planning needed might also make for better TV...

Perhaps paintball grenades/claymores show up in the second or third attempts? Sort of "spicing the pot" and adding more challenge...

Otherwise, you'll end up with team politics that simply evolve around who's the best shooter (instead of planner, leader, and shooter) sort of like Top Shot off the History Channel but with exclusively force-on-force team events.

Oh...

And having something that actually shoots a projectile is going to make it less likely someone uses a "MILES Bunker" that's totally inappropriate... like a piece of canvas or a tiny-ass bush...

Sounds like force-on-force training for nuclear power facilities.

It would make a good show. Better with live ammo.

Somehow, I don't think even Fox would agree to a game show with a body count.

Simunitions... but there's still a hazard there.

The nice thing about MILES is it requires blanks to work which means proper gun handling techniques (for those who don't know). You have to manage your ammo, you generally use the same webgear as live ammo, and you pretty much have about the same general accuracy based on basic marksmanship techniques depending on what range the MILES gear is zeroed to your sites at.

I was thinking maybe one of the old missile silos around Tucson Arizona (if one's still open to use) for one location...

Sounds like a plan to me.
