Title: Hags
Post by: fireofsoul on July 28, 2005, 10:27:01 am: Yes, its back. After some organising we have come up with a finished plan.
The Hags tournament will take place, Saturday 8pm GMT/3PM EST the 6th of August.
Meet at the statue!
If you want to play for a prize you will need to register. Send me a PM or tell me on IRC (Freenode, #planeshift, talk to Fossie or Drey)
This will help us by having a list of most of the players making it easier to keep track of scores
There will be ONE spot prize given out at the end of the Game(S)
There will be ONE spot prize drawn from the people who register.

If you are found, you will need to send a pm to the GM\'S organising the game.

If you loose you get 1 point, and every person after that gets one more. If you are second to last you get 2 Points etc..

The rules are
* If you leave the zone specified on the map below you will be disqualified from that round. (basically all of hydlaa, not the library map)
* No glitching into walls
* If you are found and you dont be an honest player you will be disqualified from TWo rounds.
* If you log out of the game you will have to wait for the next round.

What if you crash and are able to make a \'timely\' relog?

Anyway, nice of you to organize this, Fire. The timing may be good or bad depending on how you look at it. If the update occurs before this and everyone has a chance to settle in a bit and its *before* the wipe, we can have some nice prizes because no one will care about their items anyway. Of course getting prizes will be pointless too. But getting a nice sword or something can be nice even if you only get to enjoy it for a few days. :D

This can be used as a last celebration before the wipe! But something tells me that the new update will provide some bugs they will have to work out before the wipe occurs. So a week or two might be a little optimistic.

edit: read the thread that there will be two wipes. One with the update and one after the bugs are fixed. :( But if the hags tournament occurs between those two wipes, the above statements still hold.

LOL well you made it too hard to register. PM you(what\'s a PM?) or IRC you(what\'s and IRC?). Then there\'s all us newbies and PL\'ers that \"know\" better than to respond. :)

Welcome to the new PS community. Where exclusion actually works.

/me wonders why he didn\'t just tell em to register here?
Title:
Post by: Drey on July 31, 2005, 02:43:22 pm: yeah, if you are interested at all just stick a post here, but prefrebly PM one of us (best Fire) by clicking the PM button at the bottom of the post...

and can we take it, Arkumin, by your post that you are in?

Oh that\'s how PM\'s work! kk. Dang I guess I have to enter now. I\'ll even try to RP since I\'ll be in game...cause I never do that..honest...

I\'ll be easy to find tho. I don\'t spend too much time in Hydlaa.

/me Drinks some Ale and wonders if he can fit inside the BeerMugODeath...
Title:
Post by: Eolius on July 31, 2005, 03:34:43 pm: Great ideea!
HAGS is always fun. I\'m in! :D
/me runs to find a place to hide
Title:
Post by: DormentBlackstress on July 31, 2005, 11:13:41 pm: sweet! Um howabout more info for us who havn\'t played HAGS befor.. how is the hiding and seeking organised.. who get\'s to hide who gets to seek etc. And is the Laanx Dundeon off limits? Either way I\'ll be there but more info please? :)

*Dorment begins to stretch and put on his hide and go seek apparel*
Title:
Post by: Drey on July 31, 2005, 11:26:50 pm: the limits are clearly shown in fossie\'s screenie and then a seeker will be picked then the rest will hide then people will go to find them then the last person not found wins.

Post by: DaveG on July 31, 2005, 11:37:19 pm: ooo ooo ooo... if I can manage to get under the plaza again, but still inside the squigly yellow line, is that good? :D :P

(Drey can verify that, yes, I have done this...)
Title:
Post by: Eolius on August 01, 2005, 09:53:54 am: Is hiding inside houses alowed?^^ I seem to be able to do that because of a bug :P
Title:
Post by: Mercwyn on August 01, 2005, 03:51:12 pm: I doubt it\'s allowed, If you can\'t glitch into walls why would you be allowed to glitch into houses? lol

\"The rules are
* If you leave the zone specified on the map below you will be disqualified from that round. (basically all of hydlaa, not the library map)
* No glitching into walls
* If you are found and you dont be an honest player you will be disqualified from TWo rounds.

I\'ll mark this on my calendar and most likely be there, sounds like alot of fun :]

Fancy item? Should we understand that there will be some fancy prize? Well anyway, if the seccond wipe comes we can\'t keep it but i\'m in for the fun so i really don\'t care :D
Title:
Post by: Drey on August 01, 2005, 06:55:31 pm: well money you can keep, maybe that will be a good prize? by fancy i mean glyph or somesuch expensive thing.

I\'m just kidding. I hope that the server will be up untill then :)
Title:
Post by: Xzerba on August 02, 2005, 12:28:36 am: This seems like it might be fun.

I just have one question.

Can we hide in areas that require the unstick command to get out (i.e. trees)?
Title:
Post by: Drey on August 02, 2005, 12:35:03 am: thats a good point, you cant unstick into places, will count as glitching but i think we will need to ask fossie on that one.

Post by: Danok on August 02, 2005, 02:02:12 am: \"...come on people... show a little interest? a great way to end your pre wipe days or a great way to start your post wipe days....\"

Sounds like a whole lot of fun! Unfortunately I can only get online after I get everyone to bed--which ends up being awfully late EST. :(

It\'s like someone mentioned about the \"Bash and Dash\" tourney--with a game played internationally it\'s hard to find a time perfect for everyone. I hope we\'ll see more of this activity as the player list grows. :)

Have fun! Joy and Peace,
-----Danok

Post by: fireofsoul on August 02, 2005, 05:36:29 am: No hiding in buildings:P or glitching into any
you can go into trees etc.. but remember you cant move once we start

Post by: Arkumin Delvrim on August 02, 2005, 12:56:08 pm: Ya know...it shouldn\'t be a newbie that has to do the obvious..but fine! What\'s a Hag? What\'s a Hag Thread? Why should I pay attention to it just because it\'s in front of my face? Oh..nevermind! I know yer oldbies and sophisticated and all that..but sometimes you have to cater to the LCD...

How do you play and can you tell me step by step? Who seeks? What do I ACTUALLY have to do if you get caught? How do I know when I\'ve been caught? How do I know if it\'s a legitimate catch? Can I move once I\'ve hidden? Where can I hide? Where can\'t I hide? How do I know I\'m registered for the prizes? What are the prizes? Do I get to keep em after the Wipe? What\'s a round? How many rounds will there be? Are there any squares? What\'s a point? What\'s the point? Why is the sky blue?

Inquiring minds want to know!

/me Drinks some Ale and gets out the really BIG HARD TO MISS hammer...

Nope... no walls involved. :D I walked out around the wall, into the field, down to the end of the field, and jumped down at the lowest spot. I simply walked across the bottom of the universe over till I was under the plaza... However, I ~think~ they got rid of the ground since then... my last attempt involved allot of falling... :P

Yep but walking around the wall into the field puts you off limits. And i dout you can make that jump again without max endurance and all ;)

Nope, stopped at about 100 endurance. I just found a low enough spot to jump from. And... they removed the ground... the result is my 9th image on your bug shot thread (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=18036&boardid=13)...

DO you have to see them or must you get next to them?

Post by: fireofsoul on August 03, 2005, 09:30:54 pm: you greet the person you find. Then you pm a gm and say you got them
Title:
Post by: Suno_Regin on August 03, 2005, 10:01:30 pm: Wait a minute, fire that would mean they can just scroll through the player list, target you and greet you without seeing you, that would be screwed up
Title:
Post by: dragonfire999 on August 03, 2005, 10:15:25 pm: the greet message does have a limited range you know -.-

Post by: Suno_Regin on August 03, 2005, 10:19:56 pm: Yeah, but if people are hiding closeby, he could always scroll through names

Post by: Hieronymus on October 02, 2005, 01:23:16 pm: Hello everyone,

Although the hide and seek party of this thread was cancelled, I would like to try again and am organizing one myself in the near future. It will have a bit different setup than this cancelled one.

Please check this thread (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=19492&boardid=13 ) if you are interested. Game masters, please read it as well and contact me if you can help me with this.

I hope that many will participate in this one, I am sure it will be great fun!
