UN-Graalentines

[SwimChao]

We're going to be putting on some events from 6:00 PM (EST) February 14th to 12:00 AM (EST) on February 15th (Or 16th, however you want to look at it).

It'll include some new weapons to play with, some staff run events and some automated ones as well. I don't want to spill too much information so you'll have to come look around yourself to figure some of it out.


Also releasing our automated Auction system, since there seems to be auctioneer drama going on every day of the week.. Funny story.

(Lol, posted it in the wrong forums. i lev gud impreshuns)

I'll be looking forward to see these events of yours

[SwimChao]

Were you around last Halloween? I did that with very limited rights, so it wasn't as good as I'd have liked it to be.

yaaay! i'm glad that UN is finally on the forums. the fact that UN was down for 12 hours set us back.

Forum could do with an Unoly Nation forum section.

You the guy who posted that Kappa on Pixelation and PixelJoint?

[SwimChao]

Yes. I'm an active PJ member, still a stalker though. Pixelation, I only post when I'm really stumped on something.

Haven't updated the version on PJ yet. I went back and redid it.

Can you post some screenshots? I'm lagging like hell and can't keep up with all the excitement going on around the overworld.

-Cupid randomly spawns every hour in the server's focused city, Conner/TC. He's a quirky guy who flies around and shoots people with his mystical bow. The person who lands the most hits on this guy will become the new owner of the Cupids Bow NPC. Functions as a PK weapon & advanced "dating" weapon.. (Like released @ nationz 2005) - This means that there'll be times at like 3:00 AM where noone is on and Cupid is just chillin'. So, won't be hard to get the bow then.



-We'll also release a Valentine's NPC who will sell you novelty items. One of which, being the roses you may or may not have seen on the server already. It'll be inexpensive, and cost EP. (I think the most expensive item is 20 EP).

Those are awesome and well-thought out ideas for a holiday(the cupid thing). I like. Do this more, please(Classic please take note).

edit: Hmm... hold on. Does Cupid randomly spawn, and whoever gets the most hits owns the bow for the hour until he respawns again? This is what I assumed from your post. I really like the sound of that, but I reread your post and it sounds like whoever hits him the most will win the bow at the end of the holiday... don't like the sound of that as much, but still nice.

Well, I think that UN would grow bored with something like that. If we did it, it'd have to be worth having it for an hour. He'll spawn rougly around 30 times, so, 30 people will have his bow. Making it still, a rare weapon to own.

To answer the question, everyone will have it.


For the books, holidays are one thing I love to do. I made my first step towards management by running Halloween last year when our manager was inactive. (HARD TO DO with the rights of a GAT)

You'd be surprised how much people like novelty items, no matter how worthless they are. Still a creative idea, I just like the idea of a more tournament-focused direction than an 'everybody wins' sort of thing.

I thought it worked like this:

• Every hour cupid spawns in a random city. Whoever deals the most damage in the spawning wins his bow until he is spawned and killed again. After someone else wins in, the last person loses it.
• Whoever has it last(like a hot-potato sort of thing, completely random), wins it for the year.

Sadly though, since it's a yearly thing it's a bit extreme, but people love those sort of competitions. It would really get a server worked up and involved in the event if it means they get a one-of-a-kind NPC for a whole year to show off. It doesn't even have to be powerful, as long as they could show it off.

Still, like I said I like your idea. Creative and new(Graal needs more of it).

[SwimChao]

Yea, well not EVERYONE will win. I worded that wrong, I suppose.

Only around 30 people will have the weapon by the end of our event. So, whoever knocks cupid down will get it.


I've done alot of neat-o sort of Holiday things like this. If you're interested in hearing of some of them, I'd be more than happy to let you know. (Good publicity for the passerby to read it too )
