Understandable that Halflings wouldn't want to fight however, should those mentioned, wish to, they are more than welcome there. The 1000 mina fee (which could be changed to less) would be paid by the nation leaders.

The no magic rule is to make the fighting easier for the rest, and make it fairer for those within the arena. Most likely PVP, however myself and the ET will be throwing in RP aspects to interfere with fighting etc

In previous events which have involved dueling or fighting other, they haven't needed a VA to my knowledge, however that is something I will definitely have to check on. Thanks for pointing it out. You still couldn't make someone kill their character, no matter the circumstances. If you have such a high entry fee, along with the restrictions, I doubt you'd see many participators. Anyway, this is a discussion for another thread, not this one.

Hehehe, Thanks for clarifying that. I'm a little slow with jokes :P

You can't actually force anyone to PK their character... So not quite sure what you have in mind... A simple maze? Also if you don't like how I presented it, give reasons so I can improve it.

Why would there be mockingjays? There's no lore behind them and since they don't exist in real life and so there would have to be lore to RP then, as far as I know. As for Katniss-wannabees, I'm not exactly sure what you think they would be, but there are already a few characters that are somewhat similar. If you're referring to them volunteering in place of others, that wouldn't happen since the competitors would be picked from those who volunteer for it. So anyone competing, will have accepted what might happen. I do understand that most people don't want the hunger games directly incorporated into LOTC, which is why there would be lore and reasoning behind and event such as this and I can assure you it won't include any mockingjays.

At the moment, I'm unsure of the size but it is something that would be discussed with others. For now, I would say that it would not be too big, simply to make it easier to monitor the players and for others to watch it. It's honestly easier to do it via race, but to give it a wider effect on others I may introduce the sub-races so that there is more competition. If that were to happen then the prize for the winner would definitely increase. I'll admit, it is a very simple idea and is based off of The Hunger Games. I will be trying to speak with the ET and LT to create some suitable lore and reasoning behind having the event within LOTC and not just have it out of the blues.

After discussing the event idea with some others, I had questioned whether or not to do race or by nation and I chose race because it was fairer on everyone. It wouldn't be right for the Humans to have 20 competitors and the Halflings to only have 2.

It's an event to provide entertainment, so hopefully it will be :) They're welcome to provide the prize fund if they wish, perhaps if they were to, it might increase? We'll have to see though :) There was something slightly similar but it happened just after I took my holiday from LOTC, so I actually did not get to see it happen :( The nations wouldn't be "launching" anything. They'd simply be taking part in the event. If you read the post entirely you'd see my disclaimer of sorts... The Antags aren't exactly posing a threat to much right now, other than to the places they attack. A lot of characters haven't even heard of them. EDIT: You also can't force a player to PK, so it is still up to them, even though it would be preferred.

I understand what you're saying, and I was reluctant at first but nations are constantly having smaller tournaments for their knights or battle-worthy warriors and something like this could create some much needed nation vs nation RP. The Orcs seem to enjoy killing each other over petty things, so they may be interested in this and as for the other races, it would be a chance to show off their strength.

I plan to, this was just a first/second draft to use as a proposal. I'll be speaking with ET, should this be accepted, to sort out aspects of it and try to make it more original and fitting for LOTC.

That'll probably work to be honest...

Fixed it. Thanks :)

Obviously the name could easily be changed, it's only there as a placeholder for now until I, or anyone else, can think of anything better.

Before you comment Yes, this is pretty much LOTC Hunger Games and the name can be changed if anyone thinks of something better. Event Planners: Myself (ixTec) and any ET Members that wish to assist me. Event Type: "World Event" - "Community Event" - "Fun Event" - "Entertainment Event" - "Competition Event" Event Date: Negotiable with ET Factions/Nations effected by the event: All Nations and those groups approved by myself. Event Location: Needs to be discussed with Event Team but will be kept a secret until an announcement is made. Summary: (More of an essay, sorry) Two tributes will be selected of each of the following races Humans Elves Dwarfs Orcs Kharajyr Halflings The tributes will be chosen by the Nations leaders from those that volunteer for such a thing. Once all the tributes have been selected, the location of the arena will be announced. This information is released later to reduce the training the tributes can have for a specific environment. Those chosen to represent their Nation will have to meet the following requirements: - Have no use of magic - - Have no relation to those in-charge of the Death Games- - Be one of both sexes. (One male, one female) - - Have no knowledge of the arena, prior to its announcement - Once all the tributes reach the arena, they will be released into it and the fight will begin. Those within the arena will be able to use ANYTHING within the arena to their advantage, whether it be the environment or tools/weapons they find hidden throughout it. Each competitor will begin with two pieces of leather armour, just to make it more difficult to kill them as soon as it starts. The winner will be the last one alive after the others have been killed by each other and he/she will receive the following prizes: - Recognition as the first winner of the AADG - - 5,000 Mina reward - - Possible other rewards yet to be discussed - Each Nation must also pay a 1,000 Mina fee (which pays for both tributes) for entering into the event. This money will fund both the construction of the arena and the advertisement of it. Traders and Merchants may contact me regarding possible advertisements within and around the Arena and also if they wish to invest into it. Entry for those wishing to watch the event will be free, however better seating will be available to those who pay a small fee of 50 Minas (per person). Concept Images/Screenshots I currently have no concept images or screenshots since until I discuss details with the ET, I have no idea what it will look like, where it will be, nor what will be in it, however a few ideas I have been discussing with friends are as follows. EDIT: I'll try add some pictures tomorrow when I'm more awake Canyon A circular arena with a platform in the middle. The competitors will begin on the platform and be forced to jump off, down into the water in the canyon below. They can fight down in the water, or climb up the steep sides of the canyon to acquire tools and weapons. The crowd will be seated within the top of the canyon and will be behind bars to stop them interfering with the game. Island The entire arena will be a small island in which the competitors will arrive and begin on either a dock or the shore. They will be able to scourge for both food and tools within the island and it will be small enough for the crowd to watch from boats dotted nearby to view any fights. The island will be regioned so only the competitors can enter it to stop interfering from those on the boat. Other Information: DISCLAIMER(Kinda): I have been asked to notify those that volunteer and are chosen to represent their nation in the event, wouldn't be forced to perma-kill their character. However it would be preferred for sake of keeping with RP since the event is a large one that would be seen or talked of by most and so it would not make sense for you to be healed by the monks or there would be no danger in participating. Do you need the Event Team's assistance?: Yes I will for the reasons below If so, do you require actors and/or builders?: Builders definitely, Actors maybe. (TImelord_Lalve has already agreed to happily assist me, however more would be needed) Letme know what you think of the idea and suggest anything if you feel it's necessary.
