Fox and the Hounds PVP event

DM_Jaydaan · Post by **DM_Jaydaan** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 11:11 am

I was thinking of this for a while now, and think it can work in BSK. BUT there would have to be rules and such before hand. This is to be fun, but I will not do it more than once if all I get is whine and complain before, during and after.

-I was thinking:
-Have 2 teams each with an elected "fox"
-Teams must pm their consent, so I can screen shot it
- All players must be hostile to the other team, and leave non-participating players alone.
-No PP
-Give the fox 5 min to hide, no recall stones or God given stones, 15 min to find and kill
-Have 3, 20 min periods to find the fox (I am thinking no timestop and the fox should not be a sneaker)
- If you are killed, stay dead until the end of the period, I will res
- If the fox is killed, the period is over

Please give suggestions and ideas. When I do this event, I might use your ideas/rules as well.

I'm interested.

Would the others on a team would look for the other fox, protect their own fox, or both?

Party chat allowed?

What about 2 teams that look for the same fox?

Finally, can someone with an 8 Chr really be called a fox? Methinks, maybe a coyote, but definitely not a fox.

Sounds like a fun game!

Couple of questions though... If no sneakers... then what about invis? And monk speed? Sometimes it doesn't matter if you can see them if you don't stand a chance of catching them...

Just some thoughts to consider. I know it's not easy when trying to set up something like this.

Another question might be... Does the fox get to fight back, or must they stick only to running?

(And what are "God given stones"?)

Thanks!

Sounds like great fun...but mages might have the advantage with their IGM's they can reach a lot further that a sword hehehe

Would the others on a team would look for the other fox, protect their own fox, or both? Both

Another question might be... Does the fox get to fight back, or must they stick only to running? Yes they can fight back.

Party chat allowed? Yes please, I prefer party chat with my events.... that way I can see whats going on easier, works even better when I start doing more than one quest at a time

If no sneakers... then what about invis? And monk speed? Sometimes it doesn't matter if you can see them if you don't stand a chance of catching them... Not sure here yet..... I am working out the details as we discuss things... I want it fair for all.

And what are "God given stones"? Kazra stones come to mind.

maybe the fox should be given 15-20 minutes to hide. and then it's the first to slay that person. if the fox is spotted, they should not leave the area

perhaps if the foxs name is spoken while they are in the area, they cannot leave the area.

and of course, the fox can fight back. any animals fights back when it's in a corner.

The teams will have a 5 min hiding time, then it will be a 15-20 min session. We will do 3 sessions. Other than that, keep the ideas coming.

I will be doing this event more than once, perhaps once or twice a month or so. I will try to vary the times, so we can get more people involved. This will require about and hour and a half of your time.. if all goes well.

Well, we tried this tonight, and it worked fairly well... not that many glitches on the second try. Hopefully next time we will have more players.

We have decided: No time stop, no greater sanctuary and no harms. No heal potions, but resting (if you care to take the risk of being attacked or temp blindness for interrupted rest) and heal spells are fine. Party buffs, as well as potions are allowed (except full heals) Sneakers are more than welcome, but for now, will not be the foxes. Amber stones weapons are allowed. If you are found, you may run or fight, but must stay in the area until you are either killed or kill them, OR they can not see you for over 1 min. No portals, no rune stones. If Kazra smites, or Lia saves you, its not valid.. this is because this event is not RP, therefore there are no gods. I will adjust your life/death status as needed.

We also decided that a small area is better than the whole server. Using the Dark forest (all 8-9 areas) worked very well.

The fox has a 5 min head start, then you have 15-20 min to find them. If you kill the fox, the session is over. The fox can fight back. If you die, stay dead. At the end of the session I res anyone who died.

The rules are still pending, and can change as we go.
