Freelancer - The Void

Hey guys
was thinking \\ of A new kind of hunt that would last a week and involve a small amout of admin intervention


tell me what you think as well as let me hear your versions of what would be good events to have

"the document"

in this event the admin would choose the player and instill upon him a document
the admin would not tell anyone the secret would between the admin and the document carryer

the event would last for one week !!

in that week the carryer would fly around all the systems and galaxies and if not found at the end of everyday giving a tip-off to the area the document may be in

the document would be like cargo that way when the document is found that player can be destroyed and the document taken

all in all the person at the end of the week holding the document would be the winner

the rules would be that the carryer must stay moving cannot hideout in space they have to stick to main trade routes and bases planets stations and if they were going offline for a few days or so they would simply pass the document to a friend or anyone they wish

who has the document at the end of the week would be a cash prize winner

just an idea i had, let me know what you think guys the lost convoy sounds cool as heck too

This is a pretty cool idea, Gan! I like it

But I do have a question: It would seem that the courrier would have to be on-line an awful long time for the rest of the Void to have a decent shot at him. If the document was given to a group who passed it among themselves when they logged off, that might be a way to avoid having the document being unavailable at some times. The group could be picked so the members would be world-wide, in different time areas, so the globe would be covered at all times.

Just a thought.

I agree with WatchWolf that to make this worthwhile, the player holding the cargo would have to be online for an extremely long time (maybe an entire week lol) .  Also if I'm online and holding the cargo, I wouldn't want to just pass it off to someone that I don't know.

but I would change this part of the rules here....:

"At the end of the week, whoever "held" onto the cargo during the week for the longest amount of time wins.  Not necessarily the last player holding it at the end of the week."

That way if one player on Monday held the cargo for 6 hours, the last player holding it on Saturday for 5 minutes wouldn't have a chance of winning.  Make it based on time held, not last man standing...

Of course when a player logs off holding cargo, the server would randomly pick a new player to hold onto it, and then once that player is killed, the killer obtains the cargo.

I've been thinking... but don't panic...  it not as bad as it sounds.

Here's an idea for another event. Thing is, I don't know if it's possible. I'll explain:

I was thinking of something like a treasure hunt. At the start players would get a clue. Using that, they go to the correct location (assuming they figure out the clue correctly) and find what they're looking for:  a ship where they pillage (?) an item from the hold. There'd have to be a quantity of these items so each player who finds it can get one. Along with the item would be a clue to the next item. Repeat as for the first. The hunt would have a number of items hidden in various locations across the Void. The first player to report back to the official with all the items wins.

There would be action as well as sleuthing... because if you're heading for or arrive at a location and you bump into competition, you blow him away (or try to). If you lose all the stuff in your hold is lost and you have to go back to retrieve what you lost. The battle winner could snag what you lost from your hold but it might not do you any good since the clues to the next item would not be in the hold. All the battle would do is set back the loser of the PvP.

Here's the part I don't know if it would work: Although Admin can place ships around with items in the hold that could be taken, is there a way for players to retrieve a message or some other way to get the next clue? Can an item be placed in the hold that can contain a message? Some sort of note? If not, the only other way I could think of would be to have an official located at each stop to give the next clue. This might not be a bad idea anyway, because the official could make sure no one "cheats" by taking all the items (to keep others from getting one) or destroying the ships with the treasure and clues.

Anyway, I probably over-explained my idea. What do you think?

BUMP

I think both Gannon and I were hoping for a little feedback...

Well i'm for it. Coult use alittle something in the game.

To tell you all the truth i'm biggining to get bored of doing the same thing over and over.
It's time we get something new.

Watch you'r back, Inf.

I like both ideas, but regarding Gannon´s document hunt and Watchwolf´s group suggestion, this could maybe one or two clan(s)? The usage of a clan would make easier the hunt for the hunter: only one tag to hunt and to follow while a group of players would make it complicated. The usage of 2 clans could make this 24hr/24hr need.

well thanks for all the feed back and wolfie you got a good idea there of course they would have to be reworked to be a good event for us all to play



but it needs to happen soon cause i mean it feels like all the good events are gone  ive been to a few alright races hosted by elessar and event luke but i mean i relize people are busy with real life situations all i am asking is that we have a little more action and  events from the events staff


scream onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

and      live       Kba gan
