Rinn Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 On the server I was Event Admin on before I came here, I came up with a type of "marathon" competition that we held every quarter year. It consisted of several parts and there was one for females, and eventually, we added one for males, so we weren't being sexist. Part One: Scavenger Hunt and Seek To join the competition, not only did we have each competitor sign up on the forums, we had one of the participating Admins/GMs hide on a map and we would give clues to their whereabouts. The first clue was in the form of having the players collect an item that drops from mobs on that map/area. The players would have to find the hiding Admin/GM and then deal them with the collected items. The first 20 would get into the next level. Part Two: Mirror Mirror on the Wall... The next level is all about looks and glam. How well are the players able to put themselves together? A panel of 5 Admin/GMs and 5 non-participating players would judge 1 - 10 (10 being best, 1 being worst). The 10 contestants with the highest scores would move on to the next round. Part Three: You Can't Fix Stupid You've got beauty, but do you have brains to back that up? This round is a trivia round, where each of the remaining contestants will be taken by a different GM and asked 5 different questions (worth 2 points each). The 4 out of those 10 with the highest scores will continue to the final round. Part Four: School Yard Brawl You guessed it - PvP. The last 4 still hanging on in the competition will be placed randomly in a 2-level PvP tournament. PvP is pretty self-explanatory. Rules would be at the discretion of the Staff, but some of the main rules we used included: if you're dead, you're dead - no redo's, no excuses. No healing, unless you have the skill enabled through an equip or class skill. No Cloak/Hide/Chase Walk for more than 5 seconds at a time (5 hidden, 5 visible before you may hide again). No Backsliding/Body Relocation (that's a sissy move in PvP). The winner is obviously the last one alive. Prize is to be decided by the Staff. Suggestion: Event Tickets and/or one non-donor item (no cards). The winner should be announced on the broadcast, and a little blurb added to the news section of the forums/website. I hope you like the idea and I really hope to see it used sometime (it's a lot of work to coordinate, but it's a load of fun) ^^
Rinn Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Posted December 18, 2009 Super-flying-monkey-ninja-shameless-bump-of-complete-and-irreversible-doom... ish... ness.. indubitably! In other words... bump~ ♥
Dearly Beloved Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Wow. This is fascinating =) I'm up for it, even if I would try out and lose at the first part. Haha.
Levis Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 I am still Mr. ForsakenRO, right? I don't want to loose my title. O_O
Adamxd Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Pvp should be first stage then i would pass one hheh. Ja levis i wanted to say why mr competition when i've been already one? Xd
Rinn Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Posted December 20, 2009 @Levis and Adamxd: HAHA If you're sure you've already won, then why be worried about a little competition?
Levis Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 Grr. I am getting old dear. It's hard to fight versus the young children. They could beat me and gain my title. It's like Rocky Balboa. I will try to defend my title. @Adam: You are the Mr. Perfect and not the Mr. ForsakenRO. RIGHT?
kuoch Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 Sounds like a hassle.. but it's something new at least.
Nyanko Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 Sounds like a hassle.. but it's something new at least, also very gay.
Levis Posted December 25, 2009 Report Posted December 25, 2009 What is gay? My title? MR. FORSAKENRO or this suggestion?
Adamxd Posted December 25, 2009 Report Posted December 25, 2009 (edited) @Adam: You are the Mr. Perfect and not the Mr. ForsakenRO. RIGHT? VERY TRUE. Edited December 25, 2009 by Adamxd
Nyanko Posted December 25, 2009 Report Posted December 25, 2009 This suggestion is gay and also a waste in time. I agree!
Levis Posted December 26, 2009 Report Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) This suggestion is gay and also a waste in time. I agree! LOL, I never said that Desi. Don't try to get me saying what you think about this. =] Edited December 26, 2009 by Levis
Nyanko Posted December 27, 2009 Report Posted December 27, 2009 Go cook a cat Desi Lol. Sry I'm not asian.
Dearly Beloved Posted December 30, 2009 Report Posted December 30, 2009 Haha. It seems like this post caused a riot. Oh well. Hm. Lets just hope some people keep their title(Levis &Adamxd) &that some people actually gain a title. And I still do think that this is a great idea for an event =)
Rinn Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Posted December 31, 2009 Haha. It seems like this post caused a riot. Oh well. Hm. Lets just hope some people keep their title(Levis &Adamxd) &that some people actually gain a title. And I still do think that this is a great idea for an event =) Seems so. And thank you; I'm glad to hear you like the idea ♥ Hopefully, if the idea is used in the future, I will be well enough to participate ^^; (still recovering from the surgery, can't sit on the computer for more than a half hour without my back or tummy going nuts)
Dearly Beloved Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 Hopefully it will stay calm throughout the post now. Your welcome. (Working on my "welcomes." Haha.) I've been actually thinking about how it would be if we had this event be put into this server... and it was AWESOME. If it is used in the future &that you are going to participate, I better practice! I still want to participate. Hm. If it will be an official event in this server lets have a calm &collective "battle" Rinn. Okay? Oh my! Surgery?! Recovery?!! You shouldn't be online Missy. You should rest. I may be bossing you around right now, but I don't want someone to be in such a condition. It's your choice, but please rest.
Rinn Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Posted January 1, 2010 <3 Thanks for your concern. I should be alright though. The doctor said the scar (I had a C-Section to give birth to my son) is healing quite well for only 9 days. I really would like to see this event happen on the server. Though it'd take some time to devise and it would take diligence and some serious patience to run (multiple players in a large-scale event can be hard to keep under control), it would be a lot of fun to do. I've hosted this event alone before (with a few non-participating players to help out for the judging part) on a smaller server that I was GM on and I spread it over the course of a few days, so I know it's possible to do. It all depends on the players and the staff here. Which, like I said, I hope to see this in action again, because I'd be curious to see what kind of stuff happens with this event on a server this large.
Dearly Beloved Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 Oh! Thats why you had surgery, I'm sorry, I forgot. (Late CONGRATS!) That is true, that there is many of us &we will need a lot of patience. I does seem fun to have as an event. Wow. You seem to be organize, even if it was just you at first.
