Calling for Rescue Teams! (Kidnapping Team PvP Event)

[raven41]

the fights at the respawns were fun/funny ... everyone just killing and the respawning 20m away, and running right back into the fight

Few things could be fixed, Like when me and the others in my team killed all of the team holding Wanda exept one, who ran away with invuln, And we stayed and defended Wanda, But couldn't get her in team cus Zok was still alive... lol... That was kinda ridiculous lol, Perhaps nect time make a rule where the defending team can't leave the one peep behind? Was the only thing I got a little annoyed at, other then that, great fun...

Hope to have another event soon (Not in the next two weeks tho)

My apologies Red, when Zok ran off I did actually seek a ruling/advice from Trixie and she was real busy, by the time she replied, Zok had returned and rezzed his team (that did surprised me).
I DO want to say that you guys (KoO) DID do an awesome job of saving, protecting and defending not only myself, but also Beau and for that we are grateful.

I agree there were a few things that went astray in all the confusion, however, this was my first event and we've learnt a lot from it, including Trixie.

It was a terrific event and played in an extremely friendly manner by all who participated and was totally enjoyable, I hope everyone enjoyed as much as I did.

I have compiled a little movie clip which I will hopefully be showing soon, so keep your eyes open for it

My heart felt thanks to all who made this possible, the organisers, the donators and the support, far too many to mention but you all know who you are

Thanks everyone! Thanks to the teams playing, the volunteer kidnappers, the donors of prizes, the organizers and the marshals who stood at tps for an two hours! We had seven teams of five members each competing and having fun. We received alot of compliments on the event. I think that event plan had alot of good points: small teams, strategy and tactics, ambushes, use and knowledge or terrain, a little rp, etc. Sorry about the confusion at the end where several teams waited to ambush where Wandaxia did not need to go according to the rules as published. I hope everyone had fun! We plan to go some more events, even bigger and better, in the future.

Just to say here that this is exactly the strategy I would use in a trek against just the kitin in the PR, and there was definately nothing in the rules about it, I checked. The whole idea is to keep one homin alive and return when the aggro has dispersed, be it homin or mob. I actually only ran as far as the mob was chasing me, but they seem to have a longer aggro range than KoO

Of course, if we are going to make rules like that, then should dragging aggro on the team with the bride also lead to disqualification?

No running off and hiding in the Wastelands or the Abyss to keep your team up! If the Bride is abandoned by a Rescue team too long, she will call for Help! again.

I was about to say something about YOU. But il leave it at this quote.

If the team has a survivor, survivor runs with the bride, then comes back (still with the bride, RPwise) and tends his wounded mates it makes perfect sense to me.
It's the team's who killed the four the job of chasing the survivor and kill him, I guess.

I'd rather find a way to stop everybody clutch at the portal and wait the finders to ambush. Nexus was not the theatre of too much fight because of this. Maybe set marshalls in 2 more spots in nexus to spread out the ambushing teams?

Eh, dude. Wandaxia was left behind by zok, he was nearly dead. Had aggro on him.
Wanda would have been killed if it wasnt for me and redslayer protecting her ass for nearly 4 minutes.

So runs with the bride, comes back with the bride would be:
gets both killed.

My original plan was to spread each team around the periphery of Nexus, but we decided that would take too many marshals. It is difficult to plan alot of details without knowing the number of teams or marshals.
