This is more of an event suggestion than an actual game suggestion.

You know how we all love V-Day. It's a ritual we've had for a long time now. Well I was thinking what if we brought in a new celebration, just like it, for another holiday like Christmas or Halloween.

I was thinking of an inverted style to V-Day which would go like this...

An NPC or several NPC's would be created and they would have a little holiday of there own. They would log on and start wacking at all the lovely members here at MR.

So if for example we had this celebration day on christmas...

Santa and his Elves would log on to get rid of all those who have been naughty this year.

Online and active members would have to petty and fly frequently to build defence and avoid being shot. Santa and his Elves would be constantly building their guns and eventually start killing the entire community and whoever did the most pettys and whatever else helped them to avoid being killed would become the "Last (Wo)Man Standing".

I would suggest that all the "deadwood" like IA's and offliners would build up santa and his elves guns first.

A system like this:

Santa kills 3 deadwood = +1 Gun
Santa kills 1 onliner = +1 Gun

Santa misses 1 onliner = 1 onliner gets +1 Defence


I would leave the finer details of it to the admins but I just thought it would be another enjoyable event for everyone who spends most of there time here online at MR.

If this goes ahead I will leave the specific holiday and name to those lovely PC that have voted for this. :)

I would love to hear from more of the public and maybe an admin to see if this would even be considered before any kind of sponsoring was done. But having said that... I think this is an awesome idea!

Although i do love me some Unadulterated killing, i kind of like the fact that its 1 day a year event, for me it thats what keeps it so good, the fact that we have to wait all year, i feel that if we do it more, even if it is for xmas, or whatever that we may run the risk of Cheapening the event.

In saying that, i would participate any time an event like this was held.

I'm sure something like this has been done in the past, if I'm not mistaken it was on Halloween & the dead rose up and walked among us like zombies and where killable. Also there have been large Christmas (PC stands for Player Commission not Politically Correct so you'll hear no "holiday" from me) spawns of NPC's with "Elf" & "Santa" in the name so I'm sure we'll see these things happen again.

I like this idea. As we recently had the zombie durdens again I think this is a suggestion that should be bounced back up for more people to think about and discuss.

Thank you for bumping this Warrior. I think those commenting thus far have misread the suggestion... The suggestor isn't asking for NPC's to shoot at... They are asking for a day of NPC's to shoot at us. Which I still find to be a fabulous idea.

I wouldn't mind this sort of idea. It'd be interesting to hear what the administration might have to suggest, especially since they just did a zombie sort of deal. 

Yeah I dont think anyone would like to see such a great day ruined by the concept being over-used.

Its a very interesting concept though, having the NPCs coming in and actually attacking instead of waiting to be attacked. I like it. In fact I like it that much I'm going to sponsor this, hopefully more people will add their thoughts and we can massage this into a feasible idea.

Personally, I have always been infinitely jealous of never having been around for a v-day...

This poses two sides to me 1. I don't know much about how it works 2. I really want to see it happen

Now, these seem to be the type of things that are 'talked about' and are held up there as being something really fun and exciting. It's sad that many people haven't seen something like this - and that many more may never get a chance to see it simply due to poor timing...

That being said I can see the idea of 'special events' being overused to the point where they are no longer 'special' but with a game like this there is no end to new and different idea thta can be come up with. I often hear people say 'oh yeah, they/we did that before - it was fun' well simply for the enjoyment of new players maybe more events like this could take place? I think this is a great and refreshing idea and I'm going to sponsor it right now...

I don't think we're talking a once a week or even once a month thing here at all, just a same type of once in a great while deal where things are changed up a bit. I think it's a brilliant idea and it definitely has my support. I would love to see some more user input as well.

So what would the best way for us to get this moving along then other than say a bump? :P

All it needs is 1 more person to give it a wee vote! :D

I find this idea quite fascinating. You should have no problem finding one more  vote.

A serious challenge for all 1 day a year. nice!!

Hopefully it shouldn't be too hard, just gotta make sure people notice that this is something that is wanted.

Well, I've voted because I love the concept of turning the entire game on its head for a day and having us become the hunted, rather than the hunters.

Not much else to say really; Squishy has clarified that the server changes will be able to accommodate ideas like this. As everyone has said, I would much prefer that this an annual/once in a blue moon event, but otherwise...bring it on!

I don't know why I didn't think of a health meter myself. Doh. Love the war you have presented it enkindle.

Love the idea and was thinking about Friday the 13th? The event would change every year. :P
