Event: cRPG Olympics!

While playing around today, I saw a naked guy running around with a torch..

I was like: "Eureka! Olympics!"

So, what about an event where people could participate, to face some challenges?

It would bring something fun to the game, events bring the community together.

So, this is what I came up with so far:

Every type of "build" should have an event where they can join.

For an example, running, an obstacle course on foot, whatever.
These would be quite good for infantry.

And to the ranged part!
Throwing challenge! Who can throw the farthest?
Also an accuracy challenge where people have to hit a target from a distance.

Same could apply to Archers and Crossbowmen. The game already has targets, and I saw some can register difficulty, perhaps even distance?

And for the next one, Riders!

Obviously, a Jousting tournament, or Tourney for those who love medieval times, and chivalry.
Also, an obstacle course like in modern sports, you have to jump with your horse etc, player with best time wins.

Prizes.. well I can't find out a good one. I bet you guys can.  :)

What do you think? These are very early ideas of mine, they still need polishing.

Yes, I know what you guys and girls think: That there are some people, who excel at something more, than others.
I have a simple solution for that: Only, I mean ONLY participate in an event you're good at! Problem solved.

Thanks for reading.

This does sound interesting, and would give people a break from the usual grind.

I can definitely support this idea. I can sign up for the Foot race, the throwing, both distance and accuracy, the jousting, and the obstacle course. I suggest a course like a modern barrel racing course, but longer, so that both fast horses and maneuverable ones can compete together. Put it with the jumps, maybe a swim and even a gauntlet where 2 people try to hit horse and rider with a wardart while he tries to dodge and complete the course in a good time.

Shielder challenge:

- 1 regular huscarl for the shielder, nothing else
- 3 bowmen with the weakest bows and arrows
- 1 sniper crossbowman
- 1 long obstacle course with areas for the archers to fire from

Objective: Make it through alive.

If you want me to I could make the map.
But you have to tell me what events you want.

We'll need a server for it. Hopefully East Coast, so EU players could participate in some of the lighter challenges.
And maybe a logo, eh? Officials? Let's get this show on the road.

The shield one I suggested earlier is just some tall towers with ramps connecting them flanking a central obstacle course of your choosing.  One or two pillars for cover may be nice along the way too  :wink:  Perhaps it should be a nearly unwinnable course, with the victor decided based on who gets the furthest?  I dunno, cRPG tournaments are a new thing to me.

For bowmen I suggest three arrows apiece doing precise shooting at super long range and aiming for a moving targets at close range.

For 2h some naked duals would be good.  This may do well for all the hand-to-hand classes.

Okay, I'm working on a long, stadium-like complex.
But uh, I need a server to test. Anyone got a small one, maybe can handle 10-15 people? Later we'll need a great one to handle spectators, with shitloads of GHz.
