Magic Relay Race / Ritual Working

[eldoth_terevan]

Just a quick idea folks. I was not sure how to search for previous posts about this one so I decided to make a thread. This game might be called magical relay ... and it started as a simple idea that could be used to perform a show ritual for RP or used as a competition. This could be with higher level players, but a couple of lower-level players could do this as well.

1) Get 3 or 5 or 7 or X number of PCs together that have Crystal Way and can cast Summon Missle.
2) Get together in an open space and form a circle.
3) Everybody challenges each other to a duel and accepts (Or just with the player on the immediate left and right of you) but the point here is not to kill your friends (necessarily) so hold on a moment.
4) Choose clockwise or widdershins... and one player starts by casting the missle at their next player.
5) The next player starts casting their missle at THEIR next player so as closely as possible to coincide their cast, with the recepit of the first missle from the first caster.
6) Repeat around the circle ... around and around and around.

Why do this? No reason! But think about it... You would be making a circuit. There is resistance on the individual players. They have to be able to recover from the missle hit when the charge passes through them. So it would be kind of fun seeing how long a group could keep this going...

At night people could stand on different points in Hydlaa around the square and it would be like fireworks. Two or three people can play this with each other like a game of catch. If you get good at the timing it could be a seamless flow. A large circle could gradually move closer and closer together which would make it more interesting because you have to keep responding faster and faster.

But wait! There is more. Get 5 evil players with Red Way make a small ... hehehe ... 5 pointed star and start casting the Flame Burst (or Flame Strike  whatever that is called). That would look cool from above. A 6th player could stand in the middle and pronounce maledictions as well, maybe casting Life Infusion for extra effect in he middle of the pentagraming flame bursts.

Or you could make a big group and offer a reward to the last player standing. As players die and drop out the circle should get smaller until it is down to one or two people and their time for recovering grows shorter and shorter and they move closer and closer together. Last PC standing wins the prize...

Somebody has got to have a better name for this. And I would not be suprised if somebody thought of this already. But I have been having fun thinking about it and I thank you for letting me clog your board with such silliness... By the way: Pentagraming is not a word.

1) You are crazy in funny and weird way ;P
2) Dead players dont drop tria like in diablo.

what happens when someone fails to cast? 

[Mindari]

i have another idea...... all the mages secretly gang up on a newbie mage and see if they can kill him before he realises, and runs away ;p

[Datruth]

That's awesome bro, eldoth_terevan.

Join the guild i'm in, Elemantal light, and we'll try it out with ya.

Sounds sooo fun.

[Peacer]

good idea... one thing is stopping you though, no magic in pvp at the moment due to a bug...

[eldoth_terevan]

Thank you, Peacer. That was the sort of confirmation I was looking for. Mindari: I would laugh and laugh if you guys did that to me. Daltruth, I will try to get together with you guys when the magic in pvp issue is fixed. Nikodemus, thanks for that, although I didn't think I mentioned anything about tria. Thanks for reading, all of you. BTW: Venae came up with the name "Magic Tossing" which I think is more appropriate...

[LARAGORN]

Sounds like fun
How about Magitag ?

[Kiraki]

Hehe sounds almost like that game you play at a braai where everyone stands in a circle and you light a firelighter and toss it to the person next to you then see how many times it can go around the circle before someone drops it.   

[Peacer]

what about throwing stones on fire at each otehr singing "stones on fire stones on fire burning burning with desire" or just plain "flying stones"

[eldoth_terevan]

I think I almost got that one Peacer... Magitag is a good name too, Laragorn.

It's seems nice to me, maybe could be used when people get bored, that would make it fun.

But I think it would be better if that, when say something like Ojafest, goes on then we could use that as a spectacle(like fireworks, which is what you said).

But it would be an interesting game too, you could even make it so that you could make it a kind of hide-and-seek game where when you find somebody you can hit them with the arrow to let them know they're it...who knows.
