Announcement: Next Hydlaa Festival of the Hunt

[Induane]

To all who thought the Culture team was a flash in the pan ...

WRONG!!

We are back and since the wipe is here (though there may be a second wipe), we have decided to start the planning for the next festival. Per usual:

\"The grand Hydlaa Festival of the Hunt will be an event no
self-respecting citizen of Yliakum can afford to miss.

This festival will host tournaments, free to enter for all who are
skilled in magic, weaponry or unarmed combat to test their power. We
will also find out who will be the ultimate champion of Hydlaa as s/he
can stand undefeated for up to two hours in the ring. Anyone will be
allowed to challenge our champion and should they be victorious take
their place as reigning champion. Those who are undefeated in their
categories will receive a prize, as well as smaller prizes for those
who managed to win at least one duel.

For those who \'d rather measure their tracking and hunting skills with
others we will be offering the hunting game. The hunter that can
collect the most trophies within one hour without breaking the rules
will be declared master huntsman and receive their prize. Second and
third places will also receive prizes. In this game people with little
fighting skills will stand as much chance as those grand swordfighters
to come out a winner so it doesn\'t matter how experienced you are.

Aside from those main events there will be bards, storytellers,
merchants, dice games and food for everyone.

And of course you are all most welcome to cheer on your favorite
champion or hunter.\"

Now we\'d like some suggestions from the community on what events could be included to make it better for all!  I\'ll once again be making a Festival Patch, but this one will work!! and have a decent download speed I promise*

So please, I\'d like to for anyone with suggestions to post here on what all would be fun events. .. Also please note that no date has been set as of yet, but we\'ll try to set a tentative date fairly soon

*this is the fine print where I say that sure everything I said about the patch working was not necessarily true and blah blah blah...

i love you

[leuxast]

Me too!
But seeing as i only just got ingame, I\'ll probably lose. Doh! Then again...theory is the important bit...
Date....date...date...*Gloki racks his brain* Dunno about dates, but I think that sometime beteen three and five GMT +12 would be good.((sure that at least those living in new zealand will agree))
anyway....YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!

[shorty13]

Play give me all the money.  But don\'t play.  Do.

But really, those are good ideas, but can you please explain on the rules and what exactly we have to do/looking for for the hunt game?

[Induane]

Most of the information is found on our website, which is of course linked in my signature But specifics could change if people have better ideas.  Thats why a community is awsome.

One question...Are you going to hold Mage against Mage, Warrior against Warrior matches? If so then I\'ll participate in the Mage tournaments.

[yayoo]

Thats a good good idea but will thier b  tournaments for newer players and older 1s or will there just b 1 for ever1:tup:

Planeshift should have more festivals

[mikewsnc]

Good I will update website soon with new info.

the hunting game/event, is that the same as the treasure hunts they used to have? and yayoo, unless you are trying to send a different message to what i am recieving, Uranus has a u not an i. And i also disagree with you yayoo. If planeshift had more festivals gameplay would become less realistic and easier to get quick money. They already have the haloween dress up and the festivals of the hunt before that, so i dont think planeshift needs more festivals.

And i also disagree with you yayoo. If planeshift had more festivals gameplay would become less realistic and easier to get quick money.

not really, festivals add a level of realism to the game by encouraging roleplay.   The festival doesn\'t make it easy to get money... where did you arrive at that conclusion?

so i dont think planeshift needs more festivals.

It doesn\'t need more too often, but every 6 months or so irl, we\'d like to hold one.  Too often makes them unspecial.

While this is called \"Festival of the Hunt\", there should be more than killing in it\'s variations. Inspired by the game \"Hide & Seek\" that used to be popular in PS, something like this could be done.
Maybe something like hiding some (2-4) items around hydlaa which would be watched by a GM or a member of the culture team so that 1) it can be assured that players don\'t just buy / loot things and 2) it is known who actually found it.

As for the patch: the last one did work for me, though I was pretty late in D/Ling it.

Yes, a treasure hunt type activity.  Very nice.  You can even go beyond the limits of Hydlaa and hide something in the hills somewhere, give description of the surroundings and send everyone out to find it.

[Valbrandr]

Sounds great.. ill be there, but i dont love you for this .

[Externals]

Oh I remember this, I missed the last one due to a sudden trip that sprung out. Whens the exact date for this going to be held at? Hope i can attend this one. Xantherus

[Kixie]

OMG hunt festival. Brilliant.

What will you be using for the \"trophies\" or are you using more than one thing? Or are you just keeping that classified?

Great idea, which I could have thought of it
