I have decided to compile all of my ideas into this one thread, and this thread alone. I will update this thread as much as necessary to keep it up-to-date with all of my event ideas, and just well, ideas in general.

Well, I'm going to begin with how the prizes of forum events should be issued if they are implemented. I was hoping to be able to host these, but that requires me to be staff which will never happen due my recent behavior in the forums.

I was thinking for less work for the Developers is to have Forum Event "Rings" and maybe "Meds"
And since we can't just overpower rings with 1 win, so I was trying to Develop by way of a "Fusion" system to make a balanced amount of stats to be added in the rings.

My base work is here Base Stats, with a 1.2 Multiplier

Now, maybe to correct it, instead of adding 1.2 multiplier, but to just add 2 points.

So Base is 10/10, then 12/12, then 14/14, then 16/16, then 18/18, then 20/20(at the 5th tier), and then finally at the 10th tier, 30/30.

As previously stated in my thread/link that I've posted above I have made the fusion system quite clear. In order to get to the tier 2 set of rings, you need to get 2 tier one rings. Now, if you do that math, you need 2 tier 9 rings to get ONE tier 10 ring, which would require about 50 Forum Event Wins.

Now, I just previously thought, maybe people don't want extra stat rings and work through the tiers to get better rings. I thought maybe we can have you know, extra meds.

Now, I do not know how much Hp/Ap meds give exactly, but what if we doubled that, or just simply added a couple of meds to there med packets.

So say at the earlier levels, a person who can only get like 3 meds, gets instead 4 meds(example I don't remember the max amount of meds used cuz I rarely use meds).

Or maybe extra ammo packs.

Even a Color name can be distributed for this.

Forum Events:

1. Quiz, a weekly quiz should be given out. The person with the most answers gets a chance at a lottery to win(A random winner is picked). The users will have a week to answer it, and by PM'ing the event host.

The event host is required to post the questions, and go through all the PM's he may get(With my forum activity would be a breeze). Also, the event host after posting the questions would be required to lock the thread. After the week time limit is up, the host will go through the answers he received, the person with the most correct answers he will determine is the winner. If there are multiple people with the same amount of answers correctly, a lottery will be determined, or a tie-breaking question.

-NOTE: IF you send multiple answer posts, you will be disqualifed. Only one chance with a PM, make it count.

Lottery - If there are more then 3 possible winners by the same amount of answers correct, a random winner shall be determined.

Tie-Breaking question - The host will then post a random, and much harder question, of the 3 entries, the first one to get the correct answer wins.

If anyone else shall post in the tie-breaking question(which the host will post to who the question is concerned to), They shall get a 2 week suspension from any forum event.

2. Sig of the Week - A GFX Contest.

Our Graphics Engineers shall battle it out. The users will vote on who's piece of work is the best. The winner receives an item(Ring or Extra Med).

If our GFX Engineers keep getting better and better at GFX. They can produce awesome banners and advertisements which can be beneficial to our server. Why shouldn't they be rewarded?

If 2 people shall get the same number of votes, those 2 GFX are moved to a new thread and new poll to determine a winner.

3. Beef War Tournament-
I thought about this when I said there should be a beef forum. But this is just for particular "fun"
This like the Clan War Tournament will be ran in days. We will set up a bracket, and the people will just take stabs at each other for no reason at all.

If a beef is kept outside of this forum, the user shall be banned for a day, if the issue persists a week, and so on. This is meant to be fun.

Winner at the very end, gets an item(since this is a tougher event to win, may be at discretion an in-game event like an event shotgun.)

In-Game Events:

1. The Immortal Gm -
-The first player to kill the GM wins. The GM that is participating must use GM rings to make his HP huge.
-The GM is required to use Uber rockets of some sort.
-All other GM's must watch for hackers.
-Players can wear anything
-1 point to win
-Any Map
-TDM

The Participating GM's job is to kill all of the players trying to kill him with his unstoppable rockets. The person who wins the event gets an event item.

2. Pick-Up Game event.
1st half:
-TDM
-Any Map
-2 players shall be captains(I'd say the 2 highest level non-gm players)
-The 2 teams shall battle it out for 5 rounds.
-The team that wins 3 of the 5 rounds will be the winners.

2nd half:
-Berserker DM
-5 Mins

-The winning team will battle it until the 5 minutes are up
-The Final Berserker wins the event.
-He gets an event item of his choice

GMs part:
-Make sure noone hacks or makes use of an extreme lag
-Extremely lagging players will be disqualified from winning the event

Players Part:
-Wear whatever is going to make you win.
-Be respectful.

EXP Event - The owner, or a person that can do this. Ups our current rate to 2x the normal rates. Since our server is 35x exp, on the day of this event, it should be 70x normal rates.

It's like having something stupid to fight over. If we leave our fights into the beef tournaments the forum itself would have less flaming in the forum itself.

EXP Event - 70 is a bit too high. Maybe 1.5x or to 50EXP

some good ideas in there. I'm just gonna address them, and very briefly explain what I think.

the Forum event thing, is a good idea to get the forums active. You've also explained quite well how you would go higher up on the rings, but I just have one question. How would you get the 1st ring? Like what exactly do you have to do in order to get the 1st rings.

weekly quick event, is a good idea, but there is one humongous flaw in it, and that's the fact that google is available to just about any1. You can practically type in anything into google, and will have basically a 99% chance of getting an answer. Yes, sometimes the information is wrong, but there's still a very good chance that the info will be right. Since we can't monitor what everybody does on their computers, then I'm not sure if this will be a good event to do.

SOTW, I've said before I was gonna ask Paul, but seriously, I just keep putting off asking him. If any of you guys wanna ask him, by all means go ahead, cuz for some reason I just never remember to ask. And if he does accept it, I'll be more than happy to host it.

Immortal GM event is basically the boss event we had in v1.6, except the GMs would wear 7k GM rings, and they wouldn't have too overpowered stuff to kill people with. I think we should get into doing this event again, cuz I liked playing it even though I always failed at it. The only reason we aren't doing it now, is cuz our GM rings add 100k hp/ap, and that would probably take too long. However if the max point was 1, then it might be an event we could do. But yeah....

Pick-up event: I like this event, except there's one thing that may go wrong. Once we split the teams, nobody else can join the event. That means any late commers won't be able to join. Also, if for example, somebody leaves the event cuz they think the teams are unfair, or if they keep getting owned in the beserker part, then we won't be able to have any extra people to join and take their place, cuz (in the TDM half): the teams may become unfair, and (in the beserker half): people will probably complain that a person didn't do the 1st half of the event and win, and was allowed to just skip it all and go to the second half.

Exp event: Well this is not so much an event, but whatever. I think it can be a good idea, but like exercitus said, 70 might be a bit to high, and I think if we were to do it, it should only last like 2 hours at a time, and maybe do it once every 2 weeks or so, cuz our rates are already high compared to ijji, which might make leveling crazy fast.

Anyways, some good event ideas, but some may need a little rethinking. Oh, and about the beef event, I think that's a horrible idea, even though it'll help reduce flaming.

I know I have posted this all at once, and I'm going to address this carefully.

Your first subject is about how getting the first set of rings. The first set of rings you will get when you win your first forum event. That's how you get tier 1 rings. Then you need 2 Tier 1 ring's to get a Tier 2 ring. And since all forum events can be hosted and there's a possibility of winning 2 events in one week.

The next subject is the Quiz. I never expressed that it was the first one done automatically wins. I said if multiple users get the most number of correct answers goes to a lottery. Also, I never said the quiz was a quiz of intelligence. Google is available for everyone. Google is not an advantage for one, nor a disadvantage to anyone which is why I never challenged to go over it.

And who knows, If I host it, anything is coming, and some answers may not be findable on google. Why, I may include all kinds of problems related to what I'm learning, or is in the news that I can find.

Third subject is in SOTW. The SOTW will definitely get our GFX people to do there best, may they pick-up new styles that the users liked most, and getting better is the aim.

Even if a person doesn't win, it's still a win cause they learn something. Learning is the most important thing in sig making. You have to follow a flow, keep a style, and overall be organized.

Next subject is the "Immortal GM" event. With 40-50 people online alot more, there's always a possible amount of people in this event of a 20+ on 1. One 100k Ring would be perfect, since the GM is aiming to kill the people he sees, the people shouldn't run out of ammo ever, unless they hide.

The pick-up one is the toughest to explain due that exact problem about the people not coming late, people leaving or the berserker part.

So, to this extent, this is on the players. The players should pick trustworthy players(the captains) to compete through the team deathmatch. If the player fails at berserker DM, what am I or the GMs to do about it? Sometimes as a GM, or event host, you have to be "Cold" about it. No matter what event we are dealing with, people are ALWAYS going to play if they don't win.

Also, events fill players up quite quickly. If your late, you shit out of luck.

Exp Event - This is usually in more MMORPG's private servers. It usually lasts for a certain amount of time, or an entire weekend. If the entire weekend, I suggest 45x exp; 2 hours 55x Exp; 1 hour 70x Exp.

Lastly, I believe there shouldn't be too much beef in the forum itself. I know through recent weeks, I've set a bad example for some people, or depending on how people look at it, it may not be beef at all, but just an arguement.

hmm looks good, although i'm still on edge about the pick-up event. And for the quiz event, I know you said any1 can win, but here's where the problem lies. If every1 uses google, then every1 is gonna get the answer right, which means that you'll be hosting a tie-breaker for everyone.
