When typed out and posted, your ideas generally seem fun or fresh.

But in reality when I think about it (and I always do)... it would be a excessively complex creation with little/no payoff (similar to outbreak, which is heavily scripted with a large map... yet is one of the worst events on the server). The KISS idiom works perfectly for creating Events. (Can I create it in a few hours & is it marginally different from what currently exists?)

Players don't want an event with 3 windows/tabs and 2 teams and 10 variables and X extra things to do, they want to click a warp, kill (or race..?) each other and let the best player get their EC/move on to the next one. All that complexity would just boil down to the same issue facing every team event, where ':select teams' generally decides the winner. Doesn't matter if you're doing 50 damage and healing 5/sec.. if I can lag bad enough/have enough pros on my team; I will ultimately kill you and bank my points since you won't be able to hit me for 20 seconds.
