GM event for GM's

[citizen1080]

Heres a crazy idea...

I want to have an GM event for the GMs.



Everyone who wants to participate rolls a lvl 1 pvp enabled toon. GMs summon them to a remote zone, somewhere semi dangerous as well. Once the event starts the lvl 1s scatter to hide/run etc and are given 1-2 minutes before the GMs start the hunt.

GMs can use SOW and Deathtouch but no tracking abilties.

Last 3 lvl 1's left alive get rewards after fighting to the death in a 3way ffa (20k,15k,10k?) Maybe we could get some donations from other players as well. Maybe have a consolation prize for the person with the best name.

Who doesnt like hide and seek? This should be fun for all the lvl 1's running for their lives.

Who doesnt like to slaughter helpless noobs? This should be a blast for the GM's as well. And after all the time they donate to the server the bitching and whining they put up with...I think they deserve to kill us a few times =)



I want to get an idea of how many people would be interested in participating in this event.

I also want to get a headcount on the GMs/Guides who would like to do this and or allow this to happen.

I think it would be a lot of fun for the entire community.

Chime in with your yes/no vote and post any suggestions.

[Rhambuk]

Yes I'll be there depending on the event date.

im still curious how u got the name "the broker"

[citizen1080]

Very carefully

[citizen1080]

That was a fun one...there were some epic trains during that event lol..i shoulda taken some screen shots

[Ephi]

Umm... yes!

[Ephi]

I also just recently came into some spare platinum and items, so I can provide some decent prizes ;)

[Samoht]

is it FFA for race/class selections? i can think of a few combos that would have an unfair advantage in such an event

i have a zone suggestion, too: lfay

it's not too dangerous for level 1s, but it's not safe, either

confiscated goods? if so that would be the most epic way to stick it to the cheaters

Most of the droppable items and platinum we give away at events were taken from RMT captures ;)

[Funkutron5000]

Doin' the Lord's work, Ephi.

u guys rock, thats awesome

[orsk]

u guys rock, thats awesome

I second this

[Rhambuk]

Thinking of a location for hide and seek there should be a lot of good hiding places and it needs to be huve id assume a few hundred people. i think gfay would be great lots of places to hide big and open. a lot of the outdoor zones suggested would be more like a game of keepaway than hide and seek

[India]

Rathe Mountains or Everfrost would be great for this.. lots of areas and little nooks to run and hide and hide in

Rathe Lake would also be cool - get that swimming skill up!

[citizen1080]

Umm... yes!

Awesome..glad to have you on board sir =)

[rsloans84]

Crushbone hide and seek would be nice if admin could set up a zone wipe til event is over

my voye is for pom if were wiping dungeons of mobs. might as well go all out

[SirAlvarex]

For a level 1 hide and seek, I'd suggest disabling Minor Illusion spells.

Or not, maybe give everyone a one-shot minor illusion no-zone item? Just thinking of ways to get around all the players who like to "game the system"

These would be cool, also Highkeep

If everyone is lvl 1 and pvp enabled to stop being buffed it should keep cheating to a minimum.

Needs to be a in a zone that once someone dies they cant easily run back to or get a port to. We cant have people zerging the zone hoping to be one of the last 3 left even if they have already died.

[Alovia]

Ok this sounds great! Im in... lol

[India]

I'm expanding my list:

PoH
Fear
Rathe Mountains
Rathe Lake
Everfrost
Permafrost

[citizen1080]

I think mobs should be left in.. Will be more challenging. But we can figure that out later... Not sure a gm would want to despawn a zone

[Pringles]

That is awesome.....

You should prob stipulate a race and class. Gnome warriors for example. That way you take out all the variance with class and race selection, just make it about the game.

I wouldn't worry about running back from death. GMs can keep a kill list and cross reference with winners.

I would try to pick a zone without water though, or you're gonna see lvl 1s with rebreathers runnin aorund. Maybe if you could insure all entrants were naked before start? Dunno.

Gnome or assling warriors sounds like a winner. If the GMs are willing to take the time to cross reference that would make things much easier.

Not sure how to ensure everyone doesnt have something stashed in a bag...i suppose I could release the race/class combo 10 minutes before the event starts to minimize this. And I am sure the GMs could check the logs on the 3 winners at the end to make sure nothing was traded to them.

Yay! Wheres there rest of the GMs...we gonna need some more hunters

Yeah, that's a good point about GM's checking winners logs. Only reason I wouldn't say halflings is because of hide. Ofcourse all a GM would have to do is have see invis on the whole time.

[citizen1080]

I could be a real dick and make everyone roll erudites and have event at night lol.

[Korisek]

Will the GMs be disabling player names as well? I can imagine having your name floating over your head is going to give even the most clever hiding spot away.

[Fame]

Why don't you just blow them? Oh, nvm, posting in blue.

Gms arnt getting anything but enjoyment from this. Players are still getting free loot. Troll elsewhere

Whenever I do an event, I do the event for the players, and I get enjoyment out of it.

I try to participate as much as I can.

One time I challenged the server to a duel in the arena.

I really like this idea. I guess we just need to refine it a bit, to make sure no one cheats.

[Spacebar]

Not sure if this was already mentioned, but if a chanter charms something and gives it a wep/armor/item, and then breaks charm and memblurs it, if somebody kills that creature later will the items given be able to be looted?

If so, that could be an interesting way to give items to newer players :)

[falkun]

somebody kills that creature later will the items given be able to be looted?
No.

[Tasslehofp99]

I think it would be fun if DT's weren't involved, if GM's just had sow instead and had to melee us down would be more fun. Im totally down for this though, count me in if i'm available to play.

[Rhambuk]

Clear out plane sky, remove all key restrictions, hide and seek, give GM's Breezeboots Frigid Gnasher. Last man standing wins.

Does that mean the GMs pvp each other at the end? =p

[Kevynne]

Yes I'll be there depending on the event date.

[TumeraGoonda]

If this is still in work, I would like to be there as well (depending on time and day)

Still working details, GMs are busy folks so getting responses takes some time.

[Clark]

I have a hard time supporting a lot of the GM events that go on. Always have, always will. Especially the trivia that stuffs incredibly lame.

[fuark]

Make everyone be ogres instead of gnomes.... so it's hard to hide =)

This one should have enough senseless slaughter to make most people happy...we will see =)
