How about starting with a couple of one-on-one\'s

followed by one or two pair fights

with a tag team fight between the men of laanx vs. Talad\'s warriors where only two combatents are allowed in the arena at once - if a combatant is able to get out the door before dying a new team member can enter to continue the fight

finally a grand one man standing fight in the end.

How about something along the lines of the last melee tournament, but team-based?  Players would need to form teams beforehand, let\'s say 4-player teams.  Then, they register as a team (perhaps with a team name as well).  If a team was formed completely of members of the same guild, in a way they could be competing for the honor of their guild or something.

Two teams could form two lines and square off face to face then battle each other.  Maybe each one fights the one across from them at the same time (4 1vs1 fights at the same time).  Or, maybe the two at one end fight and when they are done, the second two, then the third two and so on.  A defeated competitor would be eliminated and after every was healed again, another round would start.  This could continue until one team had no members left.  Teams would either win or lose as a team.

Maybe not a great idea, but it might stimulate some thinking and inspire someone to come up with a better one.  :D


I have done it.

What happens is that the two teams group up, then they stand far apart from each other in lines. Everyone challenges each member of the other team until everyone in one team is in a  duel with the other, then it is counted down and mayhem erupts :P.

Drey: /changetype doesn\'t allow aggressive PvP, only retaliatory... so... everyone would just sit there staring at each other, unable to attack. :D

Oh, Psybur has made another special client for you?

No, seriously, I think these people meant having fun together ;)

Yeah... you can get attacked with it on, but that\'s about it.  ;)  You were supposed to be able to fight back (not start fights, though), but there\'s another check somewhere I didn\'t bypass, and it doesn\'t work.  :/  When I initially tested it, I didn\'t notice it allowed the fighting, but you couldn\'t really attack.  Whoops...  :D  It needs to be re-done to handle the new GM system, at some point, but I may just create a full PvP mode at eventually.  Till then, /changetype is only useful for temp GM levels, testing, and making someone killable.

No special client, Cad.  No mods either, though if there\'s something like aineko\'s stuff running around it\'d be nice.

No, I\'m just coming back...I\'m just having issues that are very ironic and slightly amusing, so much so that it deserves it\'s own thread.

Yes, I know.  But I rather enjoyed PS.  Both the game itself, as well as the internal politics of the game.  That, and I kinda miss arguing, though I\'ve heard that most of the people that did are rather inactive nowadays.
