GM Events and Contest Ideas

[Bleedalbeans]

Had an idea for a quick spur of the moment events.

Seems easy in my head, but Cylock tell me if I'm mistaken.

When there are a couple of groups or more people in same zone/level range find a "good sport" player and designate them as a target after oking it beforehand. If there is enough people maybe a "good sport" group as a target. Offer them a participation prize and a rez on their likely death or a greater prize if they live.

After finding the target and telling them to bank/hide/buff then put a server/zone-wide bounty on them. Server pvp announced kill shot gets bounty; maybe a guise or legacy item depending on the level of the targets as a reward.

Do the bounty "quest" part as GMPC Firiona Vie or Mayong Mistmoore or Al'Kabor etc. for bonus rp points (if not too hard to pull off).

The idea is that it uses intact p99 systems (pvp announcements), can be done whenever opportunity allowed, promotes pvp interaction, and offers a change of pace to the grind.

Keep it to a single zone or expand it to whole continents/entire server if you wanted. Very modular concept. If not for current guild makeup on the server getting a whole guild to be targets would be fun as well.

As long as the "good sport" is told not to be exploitative and die/fight with honor and they get some kind of reward plus a GM rez it shouldn't be too bad. And as a GM you can watch the target go down to make sure it's all kosher. As well as take some screenshots for promotion of future events.

Anyway it seemed pretty easy to do at a drop of a hat if we happened have a dozen or so people on in same level range.

Trust me there are no twinks killing off people on red anymore. It's actually the opposite a twink will now log off to get on his main to pl you and give you gear because they truly need you! Don't be scared there are no lines and custom exp that you will level so fast it will make you feel gross!

I watched sirken give a guise to a player named blackdick. Or whatever his name was it was something along those lines.

Its probably meant as Bla-Ckdick, they prolly understood each other in that sense.

If you want to increase the population enable 2 boxing. You will see the pop double overnight.

Another idea to increase pop is to open up Gnome paladin/sk and Halfling Paladin/Rangers

Blue to red transfers without gear would also increase the population hugely. When the blue to red/red to blue trade ban was implemented the population decreased by 23%.

GM events are not going to increase the pop. You have to make some major changes to the way red is operated. Like handling petitions in less than 6 months for example.

bud you are making suggestions to what is arguably a shin ghoul knight in terms of staff rank.

he asked for suggestions on stuff that he can do, such as events. but since uthgaard and to a lesser extent derubael, some of the permissions Cylock thinks Sirken has, he doesn't have. Sirken has stated on his podcast in the past that by his own free will he didn't want even the partial DB access that even Braknar was given (and probably still has).

Sirken may have taken some permission responsibilities back since then, as no other GM exists, but my understanding was that ultimately final decision on any event is coming from Rogean and Nilbog if it involves rewards/mobs since other GMs couldn't control themselves.

its difficult to run events here since uthgaard proved he couldn't handle his alcohol and damaged the classic legitimacy of what GM event activities are acceptable.

While a full blown uthgaard style event is unlikely, we'll at least get some Moregan/Derubael style events assuming Sirken cooperates.
