Title: Planeshift World Hags Tournament Coming Soon
Post by: fireofsoul on March 29, 2005, 12:06:19 am: We are still working out the minor details right now

Hags: Hags is basically hide and seek with a twist. There is one person seeking at the beginning, but when they find you, you seek with them. The winner is the one who doesnt get caught.

There will be prizes!

Watch this space

Post by: Ashamn on March 29, 2005, 12:07:14 am: Its sounds great, can\'t wait for more details :)
Title:
Post by: shorty13 on March 29, 2005, 12:25:33 am: the only down to this is all of the places that people can get to, but aren\'t supposed to. Barely anyone knows all of these places. I myself just discovered a couple the other day.

Other than that, I think it is a fantasticly awesome idea. :)

Post by: Slagle on March 29, 2005, 01:26:53 am: Slagle hides out of the graphics, \"Find me now!\"

Slagle gets found, \"Oh yeah, you are a gm, you just teleport to me \"

Post by: fireofsoul on March 29, 2005, 01:34:10 am: Hehe, there will probably be an only hydlaa game, then we up root and head to Oja
Title:
Post by: wormking on March 29, 2005, 01:36:25 am: cool that sounds fun! *hides in my secret spot*
Title:
Post by: Slagle on March 29, 2005, 01:37:06 am: Hey, I have time to waste on the forums, I am running the updater and it is only 20% after 15 minutes...anyway, What exactly is this? We usually have hide and seek games and Nilaya always wins :[ .
Anyway, I know lots of places to hide in hydlaa where you will never find me :D (unless you know them also or are a gm that will just teleport to me)

Post by: Keyaz on March 29, 2005, 03:50:15 am: yeah, no using glitches to your advantage, cheating will get you disqualified :p

Planeshift World Hags Tournament Coming Soon

I\'ve never been to a Hags Tourniment before this could be interesting. :P
Title:
Post by: Efflixi Aduro on March 29, 2005, 08:07:13 am: Reminds me of when we used to hide mugs in mb and people would hunt for em. :) Or when somone would hide and people had to come find them for a prize. ^_^ Good times, good times...
Title:
Post by: Foresteer on March 29, 2005, 09:55:42 am: Yup MB was good times :) even though there wasnt much to do and i only played it shortly.. it was from a community standpoint in complete (sorry this is the only word that fits) \"pwnage\" of CB what was even funnier was the \"once per day OmG ThErE IS NoTHInG To DO wOW ThIS SsUcKS@1!\" person :) oh the nostalgia :D
Title:
Post by: fireofsoul on March 29, 2005, 10:02:10 am: Keep on-topic please.
Title:
Post by: cossack on March 29, 2005, 11:34:44 am: 2 people should be the finders first because at least if your usless at finding people you wont be all by your self and have somone to talk to :(
Title:
Post by: Ashamn on March 29, 2005, 12:02:43 pm: The finders could be defined gms. If course they shouldnt use theyr secret powers to find players and teleport them :P
Title:
Post by: Zan on March 29, 2005, 12:11:48 pm: This sounds very interesting ... *wonders if there is any chance it could be teamed up with his \"project\"*
Title:
Post by: Adyna on March 29, 2005, 04:47:08 pm: This sounds fun - count me in on this too and I\'ll write an article about it :P
Title:
Post by: Sarrow on March 29, 2005, 06:21:27 pm: Time to pick out the best hiding spot till then ;)
Title:
Post by: Burntleaf on March 29, 2005, 06:35:34 pm: I reckon quite a few people may hide in places and get killed so at the start just wait at the respawning point. Please make it clear when it starts so i dont miss it. By the way how would you choose who starts as the seeker, and how would you force the found people to seek?
Title:
Post by: fireofsoul on March 29, 2005, 09:34:06 pm: the found people will be greeted, so we would know who is seeking.
Title:
Post by: Ecolem on March 30, 2005, 10:03:56 am: 1st: How do we know who\'s playing or not?

2nd:\'Spawn\' should be disabled as you could just click on it and escape the seekers :]
Title:
Post by: fireofsoul on March 30, 2005, 11:24:20 am: A list ;) as i said we are going over the details
Title:
Post by: Mordaan on March 30, 2005, 07:15:34 pm: Perhaps the best thing if the number is large enough is for everyone participating to join a group.

As for spawning or unsticking, some things will have to be on the \"honor code\". Same for those greeted pretending to have not been so. Greet is only local so will not show. And if you are not in the \"all\" channel or check the \"system\" channel at least, you might not see it anyway.

In our Explorers games we greeted then proclaimed our victims in guild chat. Perhaps here the group channel can have the same purpose.

Maybe the devs could have greets show throughout the group but I\'m sure that sort of thing would be very low on their to do list.

Post by: fireofsoul on April 05, 2005, 06:22:37 am: Ok, now i need your guys help. I need people who are from different countries to say what times during the day they are mostly on(and what country) GMT please.
Title:
Post by: Drey on April 05, 2005, 09:20:31 am: me play

Title:
Post by: Adyna on April 05, 2005, 12:41:14 pm: UK - available any day (except Friday) after 18:00 GMT
Title:
Post by: fireofsoul on April 05, 2005, 12:44:04 pm: Ah i was actually meaning what time most people were on, not individually ;)
Title:
Post by: Burntleaf on April 05, 2005, 01:36:24 pm: most brits ( who are kids probly) araa on from half 4 to bout 8 maybe ( after school if they\'r allowed) College i can go on pretty much any time. Will it b on weekend or what?

yeah, no using glitches to your advantage, cheating will get you disqualified :p

noooooooo, now where the heck am I supose to hide? you sure? no glitches? what about glitches than can be found by anyone? or by people that are smart enough... no? please? ok ok... I\'ll shut up...

I see loads of people when I\'m on, usually after lunch, or after I come from school (4:30pm GMT) then I stay there till 11pm GMT and there\'s still lots of people there...

1st: How do we know who\'s playing or not?

if the players are grouped we can check who\'s playing and know if we see them they have a white/yellowish name label...

Reminds me of when we used to hide mugs in mb and people would hunt for em. Or when somone would hide and people had to come find them for a prize. ^_^ Good times, good times...

Hehe...I think whoever you are..it should be weekend..more people then :D

Count me in....If I be around I\'ll join the party...if you find me that is...:D
Title:
Post by: AfroNinja on April 14, 2005, 02:57:53 am: This sounds really cool. It\'s exactly like a game we used to play - we called it \"psychotic killer\" - but the concept is the same. The only difference was that the characters who joined the seeker were considered to be \"zombies\" and couldn\'t speak to other players. It made the game that much more spooky.
Title:
Post by: kariloy on April 16, 2005, 08:34:14 pm: Hmm hide & seek interesting! If I can make it in the designated day i\'ll be happy to join in!

And I think weekends are the best choice! I at least can only play during weekends. Saturdays after 1 p.m. GMT!
Title:

Post by: Keyaz on April 18, 2005, 02:45:32 pm: no one wants to play? cool! me and Fossie get to split the prizes 50/50 then :D
Title:
Post by: Cyl on April 18, 2005, 03:25:15 pm: Well If my PC will be up and running again till then I will join in.

(Is it considered a glitch to balance alongside the wall at Bloodclaw Plaza?)
Title:
Post by: Keyaz on April 18, 2005, 05:43:28 pm: I\'d say in natural b oundaries, if theres a barrel, you can hop it, if not, no ^^ Fossie is the main organiser so really he can judge these rules

Title:
Post by: Merdarion on April 19, 2005, 09:35:08 pm: kein Icon means No Icon.
Title: Friday the 22nd of... What?
Post by: zkin on April 20, 2005, 01:55:51 am: Did I miss it?
If it has happened already, it might be a good idea to remove priority on this. Also, it may be a good idea to post the time of the contest for each time zone, as I think that little bit might have been a party crasher.
For what it is worth, most of my friends tend to play MMORPG\'s both right after school (2:45 PM), in the afternoon (5:00 - 7:00) and early in the morning (1:00 AM - 4:00 AM; after that, they do tend to stay on, if only because they have fallen asleep on their keyboard). On weekends, they tend to sleep in (after playing till 4), turn off their computer to give it a rest, and turn it back on after 40 minutes. This usually brings them to 10:00 AM, and I expect they stay on as far as 2:00 PM before eating. They then get back on by about 6:00 (after seeing friends and the like; insert daily exersize here) and may stay on as late as 9:00 before going to bed (unless they have enough energy to stay up). Mind you, these are only estimates; I do hope they help the next time you do a turnament. I live in NW America (Washington, to be percise). I should also like to add that we have a half-second delay to your server, which makes such a tournament difficult for us.

That would be 5:00pm EST.

Count me in! I guess I\'ll PM you to be on the safe side.

In-game Name: Indigrus Gloh
(Unless by mistake I get on as Amylstave Trebourni)

How will you chose the seeker?

Post by: Zan on April 21, 2005, 12:03:27 am: I \'m gonna try to be there but I can\'t be certain .. hopefully it won\'t last too long though since that \'ll be pretty late for me.

A few questions though .. if we are spotted can we run until caught or do we simply lose when seen? Also what area is counted as the plaza exactly? the whole town or just around the grand plaza?

I\'m not in on the whole thing, but my guess is if you must exploit a bug to hide. Like falling into a house or managing to get on the roof of the temple, or winding up in one of those water-filled rooms in the sewer. Anywhere you need to use /spawn or /unstick to get out is probably illegal.

Post by: fireofsoul on April 22, 2005, 01:32:19 pm: :( due to small numbers and lack of understanding, this will be postponed to another date. In that time i hope we will get more people. :(

Maybe you can still show and see who all happens by?
Title:
Post by: MaidenIndigo on April 22, 2005, 07:30:23 pm: I\'ll still show up. Maybe we can all have a practice run before the real thing? I am also bummed...I had set aside time for this thing. Now that time will be filled with homework.

edit: So...is the tournament cancelled or did I miss it? /me wanders out of the thread as aimlessly as she wandered in

Post by: Drey on July 01, 2005, 12:15:33 pm: are we ever going to get this going, maybe it needs brining up soon.
