Hunger Games event..

I think it would be really nice if we could have a Hunger Games event maybe once a month. Maybe the participants could be a bright color hue of some sort kinda like the purple that faction players turn to so that everyone could know they were participants and could spot them out with ease.

Maybe even confine the participants to a shorter map so that it's easier for them to find one another. Choose a number of participants like maybe 30 and make it so they are only attackable by one another and cannot be healed or attacked by anyone except other participants.

This would give the participants the chance to form some sort of alliance amongst one another if they chose to do so. Make the even last for an extended amount of time like maybe anywhere from 2-5 days or whatever the community think is best.

The winner should get a really nice prize of some sort and also a cool attire saying Hunger Games Survivor. This is in no way a finished suggestion, my intention is to only plant the seed and let the community and our great staff tweak it to perfection. But in the end there can only be one winner.

Even better, have it where characters that are killed are deleted. The winner would get a 'Hunger Games Survivor" title. Would be one hell of a title to earn.

LOL WOW that's harsh but makes things quite interesting. I like.
Players could (of course) make a player for the event, or could choose to use one they already have. It would add a significant element of risk, and would fit directly in line with what this event should be about.

lots of death? i like it esp the toon deleted part sounds harsh but not really much time/cost involed and would stop tamer participating
Well I kind of meant, if everyone on the shard could possibly join, then people would just hang with their guilds till the end. Large guilds would just wash over the rest of the population until they defeat everyone or are whittled away to nothing.

Maybe have some sort of random factions (13 in honor of the districts in the Hunger Games?) to begin with that once only one faction is left, then it becomes deathmatch for everyone in that faction to fight each other?

Not everyone would be allowed to join. Have the moderators sift through the applicants and determine the 26 players to be in it. Those 26 would represent the first Hunger Games, and more could be held over the year.

Could make it happen just like zombieland in T2A and you say "[hungergames" to join. Instead of all the zombies add a mix of existing spawn in certain areas etc. Score points by killing other participants not of your color and let it run from Friday @ 8pm until Sunday @ 8pm either once a month or once each season (4x/year)?

I like zombies and lots of people do. The framework is mostly there so it may not be too far fetched to customize zombies slightly to make this work?

In my opinion, it would have to be tweaked to fit what Hunger Games is: a set number of participants (26), a restricted area, and a survive-at-all-costs style of play. It should take place on a relatively large island with various monsters and traps.

Players bring a minimum amount of supplies for their skills (magery = 100 of each reg, melee skills = GM weapon, alchemy = 10 of each potion, etc.), and have to find/fight for supplies that are stashed on the island. You could have a cave with a paragon blocking a chest of supplies, or other monsters that drop bandaids/regs/potions, etc.

It could be a fantastic event.

Boom. It would be fantastic.

(There should be a memorial somewhere that lists the names of all participants.)
