Event Idea

[BlackHawk]

I wanted to throw out an idea for an event to see what you all think. It is a hunter/assignation type idea. It would work as follows -

Everyone interested would sign up. They would each be assigned a target (another person who signed up). Your goal would be to kill your target as many times as possible. However there is a catch, If your target figure out that you are after them, you are eliminated. They would get a set number of guesses over the course of the challenge (say a week or two) to try and catch you (say 3 chances/guesses). The winner would be the person with the most kills who did not get discovered. Sign ups would be done though PMs so know one would know who is and who is not playing, and I would act as a ref. This event would start next time there is a stat reset (to make it easier on me to sigure out who won).

What do you guys think?

sounds good, whats the prize

[mr_s]

But are we allowed to kill other players as well?

[BlackHawk]

yes you could kill other players, you are just to focus on your target.

As for a prize, I am thinking the usual, a supporter package

[MrBlah]

how will you keep track of kills?

[BlackHawk]

Through stats, which is why it would start right after a stats change

[Stevo]

I think one of the goals with the new stats was to eliminate the need to reset them. So you might have to wait a while for that... Or you can probably just record the kills at the beginning and subtract that from the kills at the end.

[BlackHawk]

that would work too. I have been sick for the past few weeks so I must have missed that about the stats

[mr_s]

Anyone know when they are being reset again?

There used to be a group of guys in Tribes 2 who would put hits on selected players. People would nominate someone to be hit and this entire clan would make it a point to kill that person in pubs. They even made movies about it. It was pretty funny.

sounds cool

One issue that comes to mind is play times.

Not everyone plays at the same times during the day. If your target does not usually play when you are on, it could pose problems.

well if its random its a luck of the draw sorta thing, same thing could go for you.... Honestly i would do it different though. We did this kinda thing in highschool sorta, your given a target and you have to take him/her out before you yourself get taken out. I think we should do it in a similar way. Ofc the organizer cant be a part, duh, but who carers. Basically its a circle ya know? and the last man standing wins it all. We could do 5 kills and then you get to move on? do keep track obvious you must show that in the stats and all. Simple enough? or... instead of that, could have to have another villun present and on your team for it to count, as a witness, that way may make it take to long though, maybe only one 2 or 3 kills that way. tehe

I think there is actually a game out there similar to this. I remember trying it on steam a while ago. It was something with people on a ship. I can't remember what it was called.

yeah we had a club like that in college, it had like 400 people playing. We called it assassin, you got a pic and a name of a random person, normally its someone you havn't even ever met.

The only issue I see has already been brought up. I play at like 5 in the morning most of the time, if I get someone with a work schedule, then they are pretty much jonsed.
