Velious Era Best of the Best

[Doil_Boil]

Has this already happened?

If not, why not?

[zodium]

1) EQEmu had/has extremely poor GM event running tools, making any event a huge hassle even with good design and prep.

2) People are super ungrateful, maybe because they don't realize 1.

tl;dr version: operant conditioning, OP. :o

Why don’t you host your own?

Post up a registration. Create some rules. Create some brackets.

You’d lack the ability to bestow an in-game title but nerds that have the gear to win a BotB on this server just want the notoriety. You’d also lack the ability to death touch someone breaking the rules, but I’m sure you could hire a few Rogue or Wizard Bouncers to snipe down someone who isn’t following the rules for you.


This. And honestly I wouldn’t be surprised to see GMs get involved once they see someone lay down the organized groundwork. Even if no GM ever came it would be good for the community and general morale.

I'd come on my rogue to stab people who don't listen.

Strongly disagree with this statement. Nothing on the server comes even close to the cool factor of a title

[arsenalpow]

Maybe if someone does the legwork the GM can bestow the title after.

[enjchanter]

I'd love to do this
I might even really try and set this up if I brainstorm a bit

[Canelek]

All complaints should go to Verant.

I think you'll find that is really contingent on the particular title, friend. I had a title once, but, frankly, I prefer my simple, humble "Puppet" surname.

It could be the transmogrification, but I can't imagine I'd feel differently about a BotB title that probably wouldn't even recognize my pirateness!

Now, "the Pirate"? Let's talk. :o

You mean something like this???

Great so someone will be notorious on the P99 forums until everyone forgets about it in a week.

This is my pirate deck Gatmanno I'd like your feedback. https://www.mtgvault.com/naethyn/decks/pirates-edh/

I do not know what I'm looking at, those look like pirate words I guess. :confused:

Risky post.

Does "Akyra obv~" still play? Talking of strange surnames/titles.

[zodium]

Risky post.

What? I don't understand. https://i.imgur.com/62gamQ5.png

Because of some Halloween event 6 years ago is why GMs so minimal events. At least that’s the leading theory.

Can anyone explain this infamous Halloween event? What happened?

[aaezil]

Still waiting for reward from last gm event devs just drop in my inventory anytime if you are reading this thanks boo

[Swish2]

I wonder what will happen this Halloween.

[dbouya]

there was a really awesome halloween scavenger hunt like uh 2 years ago? it was a apparently a ton of work, I liked it. However maybe no one wants to do that much work again.

in 2001, GMs just made the rules up as they want, so, a ramshackle player run tournament would be fitting.

[Sirken]

this was and always has been my plan for late Velious. But I suspect you'll see some form of tactical analysis first ;)

[Jazzy]

Remember when they did the event with werewolves running around ec dropping lustrous russett - goog times

live GMs had an actual GM client with actual event tools tho

[Sinistria]

We had a guild event yesterday:

running with lvl1 DE rogues from Neriak to HHK.

Was lots of fun, i died 4 times and never made it thorugh Kith-Forest but still lots of fun.

Make your mind and create something. I am sure there will be people who participate.

Thanks again to Eschew and Xsoul :D

I'll admit this actually pissed me off.

[azeth]

The event, or the fact that he said "goog"?

lol both. equally.

[sereal]

someone setup a weekly p99 fight club.

Make a entrance fee go towards a pot bonus.
Have different tiers, max level, class vs class, naked fights. Maybe some sort of fight against merch/banker? Too bad we don't have GvG in, lot of cool fights could go down that way.

Someone can manage side bets so we all have a reason to attend.
Someone can stream all the action on twitch.tv.

Maybe have a raffle?

I'd totally show up for that shit. Betting alone would make it worth while.
