maybe make the teams find the treasure and bring it back to the ship. when the one with the treasure chest dies, the chest drops and someone must pick it up. something like scorpio's steal the painting script.

OMG! I actually thought of the same thing (treasure Island Theme) and actually had a decent start on it! Here are the ideas that I had for the Treasure Island. (it was going to be a big conversion)

I had created a huge pirate ship out in the seas as a spawn point, More then 1 ship would probably be best though to deminish the spawn killing...
These pirates (i also was working on pirate skins and avators) would have to 'abandon ship', go onto land (i was thinking of doing scripted row boats that would take you to shore and back at the flick of a switch). or they could simply walk onto land through the..uh.. chest high water? These pirates would then work their way up through an island full of Jungle-like terrain searching for Treasure.The pirates would have (yes modded and skinned) blackpower-looking weapons and each weilding a cutlass

.

The opponent?
The enemy of these 'Sea-legged Swashbucklers' would be the 'landlubbin Natives'. (yes, i know the Native idea doesn't swing with the book 'treasure island' but i thought it would be a more unique') Who were scarcely clothed (loin cloths:P?) and carried woodish looking (modded and skinned) weapons.

The Objective?
To steal 3 deposits of Treasure, (Easy stash, Mediocre Stash, and HARD stash)
After playing this 'CTF' recently i think it would be great to have these chests running like the same way (they take the chest and "Run, Forest, Run!' if they get shot, the treasure stays awaiting to be grabbed by someone else, pirate or not. the stealing of 3 treasure stashes could be a bit hard but thats what i had in mind i guess...
These pirates would have to take their booty back to the ship without being stopped by the Natives (respawn OBJ).

Some other ideas that crossed my mind were:
-Workable Treasure map
-Man eating sharks
-Working Pirate-ship Cannons

Alas, though, i was a good deal into all of this when I... hehe burnt up my harddrive (i think it was a virus) and had to get a new one, losing EVERYTHING. *sigh*. i was to far into it to even consider re-duing all the work i had done, so i guess, i'll just pass on what i had in mind to others... these ideas are up for grabs so ya..
