Community Event Updated [WRG] Wackolo's Ring Gambit II [PVP EVENT | LE PRIZES ]

~ WRG II UPDATED LAST COMMENT ~

TLDR: Collect rings from dead people, but only 1 type is valuable! There’s trading, twists and turns!

Hello! With all the event stuff happening around Detlas, I’m set out to host a PVP orientated event for the occasion. I call it… The Ring Gambit!
Promoting the Hunted Gamemode, this event has LE rewards, twists, turns, and tons of action! Forewarning, there are RNG elements involved with this event, that being drop chance and a 50/50.

This event is only open to players who have an endgame hunted class available, meaning you must have completed the quest ‘A Hunter’s Calling’ on that class, or if you have the Hunted Gamemode active. You must also be able to trade... so no Ironmen!

This event will take place in three locations: Ahmsord, The Void, and later in my Housing.
This event begins… tomorrow!

So what’s it all about?
There will be 5 phases for this operation: Signup, Distribution, The Hunt, Trading, and The Reveal!

Spoiler: Signup

• Signup: This is where I can determine how many people are interested and how large of a reward stash I should allocate. I’m striving to dispose up 3stx TOTAL! (expected to change), more information on that later!
• There are no entrance fees! Only your Soul Points if you die too many times Bahaha!

Spoiler: Distribution

• Distribution: Each participant will receive 2 different colored rings, Silver and Gold. These rings will act as your player tag, meaning if you lose both rings, you are disqualified from the event.
• Here is a sneaky trick: Every 10 players will have one of their rings swapped for a Trick Ring, a surprise tool used for later; but keep it a secret, they count as both Silver and Gold!

Spoiler: The Hunt

• The Hunt: The fun part! The PVP is set in the Void... your goal is to kill and collect as many rings as you want to, as they are used as a currency in the Trading stage. But here’s the kicker, you need 4 rings to pass!
• The Hunt lasts for 1 hour.
• If you feel you are being camped, do /class to get a 60 second grace period! It is against the rules to abuse this however. There is also a housing balloon if you want to take a break, and if you are a coward!
• Oh and by the way… Trick Rings count as both colors, so 2 points to enter the next phase!

Spoiler: Trading

• Trading: Successful players with 4 or more rings are granted permission to enter my housing! This is where the next phase will commence, Trading! These rings will be valued at around the bounty divided by the # of entrants (192le/X) , but here’s the catch, only one type will have value!

Is it Silver… or Gold? The Champion of the Hunt will decide!​

• The player with the most rings (Titled the Champion of The Hunt) will determine which color is valuable, that being the most frequent ring color in their inventory. (If it’s tied between Silver and Gold, the next player with the most rings will determine it, and so on)
• KEEP IT A SECRET CHAMP! Only the Champion and I will know. But with some detective work you could squeeze some information on which rings are lost and who they belong to, but… that’s a bit of a stretch. We’re here for fighting not thinking!
• Lie! Deceive! Trade with other contestants and gamble to your hearts content! Will you put your eggs in one basket or split it 50/50 between the two colors for a guaranteed win, the choice is yours!
• After all players are finished with their trades, the final stage will commence.

Spoiler: The Reveal

• The Reveal: The Champion will reveal the Prized Rings, where each player can trade those rings back to me for a bounty! Awesome! But don’t throw out the other rings! You can hold onto those for the next Ring Gambit event for a small side bounty! A silver lining!

Spoiler: SECRET CONDITIONS

• I will be employing some secret rules and conditions during the trading and reveal phases. Ohohoh!!!

15LE (18 Form Entrants | 13 Quick Headcount)

Triflame - Champion of The Hunt - 60LE (4 Silver Rings)

A message from Wackolo
Planning for Future Events:
Woah! That was crazy, but not in the best way. It felt too rushed and chaotic for my liking. I'm glad to have 3 winners, but I was hoping to get more people involved, and to have more opportunities to give out rewards... but as far as I'm concerned, it was an enjoyable experience!

There were certainly some problems I've came across when hosting this event, and that's that the PVP system is tricky for events like this. You see, people who aren't involved are still able to pickup items, which we don't want to happen. It's hard to get a closed pvp game inside of an open pvp system! That's something I have to work around for the next event I host.

Here is a quickfire of problems and challenges:
Finding a Timezone to include more people
Making advertising more effective
Outside people disrupting the event
Some people were not able to locate, or access locations
Some phases were rushed and I skipped some steps
PVP Balancing (Triflame demonstrated that Guardian Angels are crazy!)
Manage players inventories and doing checks for legitimacy
General confusion or lack of transparency

I'll try to streamline the experience for next time ! Thanks for checking this thread
- wack

 

fun design i like it

 

no :>

 

Seems cool, will miss it due to timezones though ;-;

 

shut upppp oh ym godd

 

Guess i had to change my build to a Hunted version now

 

the architects ring
the covens gambit

 

whar?????????

 

cool concept

 

What if someone just stores their rings in the bank?
Also, is the event in ahmsord or the void?

 

Pre-fight starts in Ahmsord. PVP is in Void. Rest is in housing

That would be a technical disqualification, don't worry

 

Rest in pieces :((( Will miss because time zones.

 

guh???????
