Calling for Rescue Teams! (Kidnapping Team PvP Event)

Post by riveit »

The Sirens and friends are hosting a team pvp contest on Saturday, January 27, 2007 at 8:00pm GMT/3:00pm EST. It has an rp component and is posted on the Saga forum with full details here : http://forums.ryzom.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28395
However, the Kidnapping is also a game that all are welcome to join, so in the tradition of the Junior Olympics and UTC championships, we felt it should also be publicized here to reach a broader audience.

The Prize to the winning team is 90 stacks of cats (34 q250, 43 q200, 6 q150 and 7 q100), 24 op mats (1 q250 maga, 22 armilo, 1 egiros), over 50 supreme boss mats (including 4 Mekoo eyes, 5 Madakoo pelvis, 1 Kirokya shaft, Madakoo nails etc.), 3 sets of q250 HA and 1 q250 sword.

The game concept:

Rescue teams must search, locate, and rescue the kidnapped bride (Wandaxia) from the kidnappers in Nexus. After all kidnappers are eliminated Wandaxia will yell for Help! Indicating she is open for a team invite. She will accept the first invitation sent. She will then say the name of the "Rescue Team" that has her. Once the bride has been teamed the "Rescue Team" must try to exit Nexus through the portal to Elusive Forest, furthermore they must pass all four checkpoints (see map illustration in flyer), before reaching the finish line. Other teams are encouraged to compete by stealing Wandaxia from each other. The first "alive" (full) team to reach the finish line with Wandaxia is the winner.

The Rules:

1.Only (5) members per team.

2.Team makeup - Multiple guilds and unguilded homins may
form teams. However, because of GvG zone rules forbidding
guildmates from attacking each other, all members of a
participating guild must be on one team. If guildmates wish
to join the event on different teams, some of them must
temporarily drop guild to play.

3.Each team must be out for itself. Once the Bride is
rescued from the kidnappers, interteam cooperation or team
alliances are not allowed.

4.The Bride will not assist "Rescue Teams" in any way other
than following them to the finish line.

5.The Bride is not a target and must be kept alive at all
times; anyone who kills the bride will disqualify their team.

6.Only when a "Rescue Team" is eliminated can the bride
leave Rescue Team. (This means all members of the team in region with the Bride must
be eliminated).

7.The Bride will join first invite sent after announcing she
is open for team invite by shouting HELP!

8.Once the bride accepts an invite, she will remain in place
until the team leader arrives to escort her. The bride
follows the team leader.

9.The use of teleport altars is not allowed during or after
the event starts.

10.Rescue Teams must follow the check points in order to
proceed to the finish line.

11.Only one spawn-point is allowed and that is the
portal from Elusive Forest to Nexus.

12.Anyone breaking these rules will disqualify their team.


Please register your teams with us. You can reply here or contact Trixie or myself. There is no entry fee. We have gotten alot of interest but it would help us organize to start getting teams registered now. We wish to avoid a last minute rush, sorting out who can play while keeping in mind that a single guild may not be spread over multiple teams (due to GvG zone game mechanisms). The Kings of Oblivion have graciously volunteered to play the kidnappers. After they are defeated as kidnappers, they are welcome to form a rescue team to compete also. All are welcome. Don't worry if your team isn't all level 250 toons, perhaps the uber-pvpers will kill each other off and leave you as the winner! :)

Sign up now to rescue Wandaxia! She needs your help! We never discussed what happens if no one defeats KoO. What becomes of the prize then? Does KoO get to keep Wandaxia? :D

Say team A manages to get the bride past the first three checkpoint before being wiped out by team B. Does team B then have to take the bride back "to the top" and past all checkpoints again, or is it sufficient for team B to get the bride past the final missing checkpoint?

So long as team B has checked in the checkpoints themselves, then it is sufficient for team B to get the bride past the final missing checkpoint.


I need to confirm this point with Trixie though and make sure we agree. :)

An astute reader has suggested a minor change in the rules. :)

6.Only when a "Rescue Team" is eliminated can the bride leave Rescue Team. (This means all members of the rescue team in the region with the Bride must be eliminated).

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.

Yes as long as the "Rescue Team" already checked in at one check point there is no need to go back. The challenge is getting the team to the check points alive. There is an exchange at check points that must take place between the marshall and the team in order to continue. This will be more clear on the day of the event.

You will need to find a trek to Nexus minor if you don't have the tps yet. Unless you are a superb sneaker or mount-rider? The easiest path is usually from the Knoll of Dissent through the Abyss of Ichor. After that you may want to stay with a team in Nexus, Elusive forest and Gates of Obscurity. Lots of aggro especially in Nexus.

Beau, if you can manage to get to Nexus, I'm pretty sure some kind Homins would get you there, There may even be a team out there that would welcome your participation with them.

Depending on your participation level, it may be fun to be part of a team or if you are doing this as a spectator only for your podcast, you are more than welcome to follow me (the poor, distressed Bride) around.

Although I can't assist the 'Rescue Teams' in any way, I can't really see a problem in trying to keep you alive.

*NOTE - may have to check with Trixie and Riveit on that one*

Aww I appreciate the offer, but it looks like I'd have to sit this one out. Last thing a young bride needs is to be hearing "helllppp" all day.
If someone would take notes on what happens, or lots and lots of screenshots with notes, I'd love to read it on the air!
I can't wait to hit 250! lol
