Cupid Games!!!

Postby Aluviel on Mon Jan 26, 2004 5:14 am

For those that were around in December for Reindeer games, this is pretty much the same but in febuary :) it will be held on sunday febuary 1st. at 5pm pst. there will be Newbie PvP, Drunken horse races, a scavenger hunt, a lottery, and If I can figure out how to do it on WoD, a capture the flag event. afterwards there will be a feast. If anyone is interested please note so here. I also need help to run the event so if someone wants to just watch and not compete they can always help me run the event. I will post the rules of each event and the requirements up here sometime later this week. Young players as well as veterans are welcome. granted the young players will be grouped with the veterans to even things out both are still very much welcome.

The rules for drunken horse racing are as follows:
*you must drink a full bottle of the alcohol of my choice (will be provided). failing to drink the full bottle will mean disqualification.
*You must complete a full lap of the designated choice without cutting corners or going off the track.
*If you fall off your horse you must immediatly stop, remount, and then continue.
*to compete in this event you must put atleast 1k towards the winners jackpot if not more.

The rules for the newbie PvP are as follows: (warriors)
*You are only allowed to wear a kilt and a shirt. No magical properties on the items. No armor, no rings or jewelry, and no magical buffs.
*You weapons may be exceptional, but again, no magical properties are allowed on the weapons, no poison on the weapons, and nothing else but an exceptional weapon will do.
*You are only allowed 5 Bandages, 5 greater heals, and 2 cures. No kindling, scrolls, or anything else that is not on the list.
*there will be a box for you to put an owned bag in for safe keeping while you fight. the fighting will be on a ladder basis so even if you loose you may fight again. Thus do not buff when you think the fight is over.
*You must put atleast 1k into the winners jackpot if not more to compete in this event.
(mages)
*mages follow the same ruleset as above but are only allowed 20 of each reg and 2 kindling. so choose your spells wisely.
Those of you that are tanks will have to choose one fighting style or the other. No newbie starts out with two fighting skills and is any good. Hence the Newbie PvP.
If enough people show up we may do group newbie PvP

The Scavenger hunt is as follows:
*A list of items or people will be given to each team or group. Under no circumstances can you get the items from your bank, buy them, or have someone on the sidelines to help you. Your group and yourself MUST go out and find all of these items or people on your own. failing to do so will be disqualification.
*something that was braught up in reindeer games was if you could trade items between groups. the answer is yes BUT keep in mind whatever your trading for is most likely the last item that they need.
*the first group to find everything on their list AND return in the group's entirety to the starting point wins
*you must donate atleast 1k to the winners jack pot if not more to compete in this event.

The lottery is as follows:
*Each person wishing to compete in the lottery will donate atleast 2k to the jackpot as well as a book or item that is owned INSIDE an UNOWNED bag.
*the donations will go into a seperate pile and the unmarked bags with the persons names in them will be put into a box. The winner of one of the events will come up and randomly choose a bag and then hand it to myself. I will look at the name inside the bag and hand it back to the winner to announce. That person takes the jackpot home.
*the winner will be announced over the feast.

The rules to the other games will be posted as soon as I work out some of the issues with them. The donations to the events or the lottery does not have to be gold either. you can donate magical items, raw materials, or anything else you have cluttering your bank that is useful to someone.

All donations will be given to myself one at a time so that they can be seperated accordingly into the different stacks. Once your donation is recieved your name will be written in the books as an entry to that event or lotto. Anyone not in the books will not compete in the games.

If you have ideas of more games that you would like to see post them here and I will get with you to work out the rules.

The feast is going to be provided by cathevine as a donation to the event. The menu she has prepared is a very nice one and all of the food is coming from her. So at the event be sure to tell her thank you.

I will not be here wednesday,thursday, or friday. I am taking my son to DisneyLand but will update more before I go or when I get back. Hope to see you all there. :wink:

ok Capture the flag is out of the question. I can't think of a fun way to do it. BUT I have replaced that with "Cupid's Exchange"

In that there is no donation to enter. All you must do is buy something useful, have it wrapped, and drop it in a box and sign a book. At the feast everyone whos name is in the book will be able to pick a present at random. Just remember what color you wrapped yours in so that you do not choose your own present. Hint: there will probably be alot of wrapping in pink and red so choose other colors if you want a wider variety. Also if at all doable I will see about having a random cupid gift. If nothing else I will wrap unidentified magical items and so that everyone there will either get a benson or something useful. Depends on how much stuff i can find between now and then on my hunts.

If anyone wants to help with that part please let me know.

Thanks Aluviel for a really fun time! I wish I had gotten my act together sooner to help out with the event. Maybe you can tap me next time around. ;)

I think a great time was had by all who joined in. The events were really imaginative and (with the exception of a few "hickups" ;) ) well executed. Thanks again! :D

np. but unless i can find a more organized way or have someone there to help me run them i dont think i will do them again. i tell people that the rules are here and inevitably every time theres atleast 3 people who insist on getting a run down of the rules 5 minutes before it starts. think maybe drocket should put a board thingy by the bank for people to post stuff like this ingame for those who never check the forums.
