THE SHIPMENT RUN

What is 'THE SHIPMENT RUN'

If you haven't heard of Whurgal Overg Click Here.

It is an RP event which will take place each week. On the map will be an X (or something) which you will find an block with will help you solve the riddle to the next spot. If you do them all correctly the last object you come to you will PM me the answer. If correct I will give you the map with an shipment line (ALL RP).

So basically letting us all rob you?

Yes. But making it more RP and enjoyable for the whole community *accept for my money pouch;)*.

Does this mean I need a villain application?

Due to the nature of the event no. This isn't verified but everybody who is taking part is going to have read the rules below so I should see no reason why.

All against you?

No. In an ideal situation we split into two. Bodyguards and bandits; just the name of each side for simplicity.

What are we guarding

Apart from me each body guard will have ingots all spread out between us some weeks maybe smaller some weeks may be HUGE amounts.

Well when do we attack?

The bodyguard team. We will walk down the route until I stop this is the signal for the bandits to attack. When this happens you will not know so be on the ready. Maybe we will split into 2 therefor you will have to make strategic decisions on what to do; this is the same with bodyguards. Only when do they stop that the bandits can attack.

What are we going to wear?

This has had some debate on if i'm going to supply everybody or you supply yourself. The decision is this;

Everybody comes in iron Armour & Iron sword. Normal food. No potions. No arrows. This is supposed to be fun for all; if you want to take this pee and abuse what I am doing then I will ban you from taking part & that would also be pretty shameful on you that you can't follow basic rules.

This is supposed to be fun for both sides!

I will supply iron Armour & weapons but again... if you all come as say *I don't have this or that*. Simply I won't do it again.

The teams

Bandits & Bodyguard. Both wear the same to have an equal advantage. All people who take part will have an OOC minas reward from myself. We need a team captain each week for both sides! Also we need ways of separating the body guards from the bandits; IDEAS NEEDED

So we can just kill?

Yes. The day before I will post the route for all to see so they know where to avoid if not taking part. All the people who got the the puzzle correct will be on my inbox list. Don't turn up if your not meant to be there; would like it if people recorded the event. Once combat is started... it is to the death. Anybody on the defending team running away with the ingots will also leave you banned from doing it again. Drop the ingots as that is what you would do in RP.

RULES!

• Iron Armour & sword ONLY! Anything better will earn you an ban for coming again.
  
• Don't cry because you died. The only way you know the trade route is by coming on here so you will know.
  
• Running into non-pvp zones to escape death ect all apply as against the rules
  
• RP'ly I will always run and let my body guards hole you back but in-fact I will be fighting to the death.
  
• HAVE FUN!
  
• You are aloud to use bow & arrows
  

Why am I doing this?

Fun. How fun will these be; two teams charging at each other in an RP way. Just like out the films. I am just stepping forward and making it happen. It is what you make it guys.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR IF THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS IDEA OR SUGGESTION PLEASE PM ME WITH THEM.

Thank you.

Looks great! Will the guards also need to fiquere out the trade route? To alerts the guards from bandits what about having one team wear chain helmets? The GMs would have to spawn them in though.

[DoubleDeetz (Fomsil) 237]

Great question! Something I missed out.

Yes. As after all the people have submitted there answers I will then release the answer to avoid people cheating. I will then split the group randomly in half into bandits & bodyguards. If you then wish to switch you can just let me know.

But each side is equal anyway so it doesn't matter hugely.

Whats the lore behind it? Also, I don't train sword, only bow, am I not aloud to participate?

I think you should re read this and elaborate further.

[DoubleDeetz (Fomsil) 237]

The lore is my character. Each week he will gets shipment of supplies. If he gets them or not depends on this weekly event.

The reason I said no bows is the bodyguard are defending me. If your shooting an bow we would have to just stand there and take it as the whole idea is to defend me and the shipment.

Also: In the link it says that my character isn't RP'ly here yet. So the lore is yet to be posted completely but I gave an general sum of it on the post.

[no longer active 734]

If you have read the post he links in the beginning it all makes sense.

[Dash_Rogers 130]

I forgot to click there. But that's silly that I cant use my bow and ambush you from the trees

[DoubleDeetz (Fomsil) 237]

I have got to make to fair and enjoyable for both sides.

It may seem unfair to you personally but if you can think a way of making using a bow fair for both sides. I have 100 archery so I guess if there is an equal amount of archers on each side then that would be fair?

I'm on my phone so sorry for bad spelling/ grammer

[Dash_Rogers 130]

It's going to be unbalanced any way cause you will have players with lvl 100 sword and players with any lvl lower than that who will just get owned.

If you have archers on both teams what's wrong with that? And even if you diden't just block with your swords and walk at them. Just because they are protecting the cargo does not mean they have to stand one block from you

Edit: what I meant to say about the lack of lore is, why are there clues around the map in the form of riddles that reviel your trade routes?

[DoubleDeetz (Fomsil) 237]

No your not understanding.

'players with 100 swords' that's all OOC. RP'ly everybody will have the same weapons and Armour so everybody will have generally the same effect on each other.

As I said in an previous comment a have already suggest that idea :roll:

The idea of the maps and riddles that the bodyguards all come from the same clan and being my body guards for the shipment is seemed a privilege. As high number of bodyguards want to come & we can't bring to many because RP'ly we want to avoid bandits. The Bodyguards have to do this clue & riddle to separate those worthy & who that aren't to come.

But also bandits will be given the chance just like bodyguards to solve it to.

I think that you should allow archery. However, not along the main way. I suggest only allowing archers to shoot while you are traveling. It would add some to the guard's RP as they would be sent out to kill the archers. Once you stop though bows would be put away.

[DoubleDeetz (Fomsil) 237]

Hmm...But the idea is that the shipment is ambushed, with arrows firing we would just simply run the other way.

Bow & arrows are now allowed.

[no longer active 734]

Ok, but do you have a way to separate the attackers and defenders yet!
