Official Vlad Events Topic

[Kaiser2]

I had an idea. Why not create a topic on the events forums to keep the players informed of my future events? Well, here it is. This will be the official topic that I will use to post my planned events ahead of time so you can make room in your schedule and so I can get your feedback on my events, or suggestions on how to improve them ahead of time.

Anyway, as things are now, for the next couple of weeks and perhaps more, I'm busy studying for the Chemistry SATIIs and some other junk, so my events will be more sporadic, but they should become more regulated over time.

Finally, I will be holding a type of treasure hunt tomorrow with the prize being an event coin. I'll bury around 10 bags at one spot, and each will contain a clue, leading to another location. This location will have 5 bags instead. Each of these will have clues leading to the next location, which will have 4 bags, then 3, then 2, and the last place will have a bag with an event coin. The initial clue will be massed out, so I suggest that when you see me go on tag, you turn masses back on if you have them disabled. Actually, I suggest you do this whenever any EM goes on tag so as to avoid flooding him with messages saying "R U going 2 hold t3h eventz now?!"

No offense to you intelligent folk.

If you're on the staff list, you're mass messages override the mass message block thing
course, it's all too possible you're not on the staff list >=P
specially since GK uses debug

but back to the actual event, the thing about that kind of event
the first person to get there might just dig up all 10 bags just to get the advantage,
then nobody else will know where to go unless they know who dug up all the bags and then follow that person

[XGoLink]

Bag hunting events are very very lame.

[Kaiser2]

Well, true, he can dig up all ten bags, but it is nearly impossible that no one else will arrive before he digs them all up. It'd be more efficient to simply keep following the clues and to get ahead. And, I believe that when the event starts, no one will be thinking of how to handicap the other players, but just more on what their clue means, and how to get there faster. :P

GoLink, if you dislike the event, then please suggest what you would like instead. That IS what this topic. The events I mention here are mere possibilities, the final outcome is based more on what the people want.

Nah, not with EM tags. Not in my case, anyway =/

Yes but my wallet is empty. :[

Sounds fun, but people will just screw it up, like 30 people shows up at the area with 10 bags and then when they have been dug up they just follow the people who got a bag =x

[Kaiser2]

Aww, crap. :[
I've finished preparations for the event, but it's now too late to hold the event. :[
I'll have to hold it tomorrow at 6:00 EST. Be there.

[Dehitay]

You have to understand
there are a suprising number of people who don't even look at the bottom right of their screen
Pirates had an event similar to this where you were under stict rules to dig up only one bury bag
but sure enough, somebody didn't know what they were doing and ended up digging up about 10 different bags and still didn't realize they had a single one
