April Fools Day Event.

Kaiser2 · #1 02-20-2004, 01:48 AM

With April Fools coming up soon. (Well, not soon, it's in a month). I'm starting to prepare for an event. I'm going to gather a multitude of weapons and bless them to Aengus +3 (He IS the god of Tricksters after all.

) And then I'll hold some sort of event to distribute them. BUT, I want for you all to contribute ideas as to what kind of event I should hold. Personally, I was thinking of a type of scavenger hunt, where I give clues to the location of each weapon (1 at a time) and people would have to travel and dig for those bags. :]

What do you all think?

I wouldn't mind helping if there was anything I could do - as long as I can bend it storywise in some way so it fits my kitchen

Yes..some kind of roleplay element should be involved =x

Of course there would be an RP element involved. We could say something like, Satrek met a man (moi) at the ruins one day. He helped excavate the ruins, and stumbled upon a secret passage behind a fake wall. The passage led to some sort of shrine, apparently belonging to Aengus. There they found a box, which contained many papers. The one on top was a rhyme of sorts, which spoke of the blessing that Aengus bestows every year on his birthday to the world, and the sheets below it all gave clues as to the location of these objects.

Or something like that.

Hm... the box could be the only one remaining in a small storage shed, contain cookies made by Aengus most skilled followers, wrapped in the scrolls. Also, I'm afraid the shroom would try to bite you on your way in, but if you can live with that...

Is it a big shroom? o_O
Well, no worries. I can live with a bite from mutated produce.

You can see a picture of it... well, a third of it, actually, on my events page

Oh, cool, I didn't notice that before. :O

If i get the chance, I'll try to host an event on April Fools Day, so I'll start saving up for the stuff

Erm...that's 2k2's definition of role playing? The story behind the event task?

I hope Lyndzee responds to me before then so I can get rid of this damned hacker and play with you!

No - it's the definiton of events on GK - at least mine. It's quite hard to do proper roleplaying events with roleplaying only, as someone has to judge it - there's no such abstract thing as good and bad rping. Having a task and give it a rpish meaning, a background story as I try to evolve, it in my eyes better than just getting people together to kill each other for no better reason than none.

Kaiser2 · #13 02-22-2004, 07:19 PM

Lol, yeah, that's usually how most events used to be. It's like: "Okay, see this shiny item? Well, whichever one of you is left able to lift it will keep it! Go, start killing each other now."
"Yay! I like killing! *stab stab*"
*5 minutes later*
"LIEK OMG! I PWNS j00!! T3H SHEILD ISH MIEN!!!!!!11!1!!1shift+one!!!1!`~!1!"

At least here you cut out the first part of that. :O

In a month I'm sure you can get it up to + 4 - 5?

I'm confused (Aengus takes his toll) - get what to 4-5?
