The Arena Olympic Games I

Miraculix · 12-17-2007, 02:42 AM

Hey everyone, I was thinking of starting some PvP tournaments in the arena in syrtis. Everyone is welcome to attend of course, and there may be prizes for the winner, therefore entree fees. But that's up for discussion.

Anyway, I was kinda thinking instead of having just 1v1 tournament, we could have a bunch of games and everyone could compete in any game they wanted.

Here are some game ideas:

Single player:

Classic 1vs1 knockout: 1 versus 1, best out of 3 rounds wins the match. Each match is a knockout, so if you lose, you're out. The rules for the matches are up for discussion (who fights against who, eg same levels as much as possible, or completely random?, where does each contestant stand, are buffs allowed before or not etc etc).

Crossroads 1vs1 knockout: This game puts single player (as in not team) tactics to the test: Four players, eg A,B,C & D. A fights B, and C fights D. The matches take place *simultaneously*, and WITHOUT A PAUSE (once BOTH fights are over), the winners of the two matches immediately fight each other (so, the one who finished first has some extra time to heal until his opponent arises -kill quickly to get the advantage!-). The one who is left standing in the end is the winner of the round. Each round is a knockout, and each round has 4 contestants. It's just like classic 1vs1 knockouts, only with a twist, one winner out of 4 contestants

Survivor: Each contestant fights for as long as he can stay alive, 1 opponent at a time. The player with the most wins in a row is the ultimate winner.

Classic Free-for-all Knockout: Players are pitted in groups of 8, where only one can come out alive! Anything goes, and the last man standing makes it to the next round!

More ideas are welcome for single player games

Team games:

Classic Team vs Team Knockout: Well, pretty much the same as with the 1on1 version, the only difference is that it's with teams this time. The number of team members can be discussed, and whether they will be fixed classes or anything goes.

Team Leagues: Teams are splitted into groups of 4 teams, and the first or the first and the second team from each group proceed to the knockout rounds. Kinda like champions league, or mundial

Each win in the group phase is 2 points, and loss none.

Team Free-for-All: Same as with signle player, only with teams, and maybe not 8 teams, it'll be total chaos. Maybe 4 or smth like that.

More ideas for the team games are welcome

We will also need people to be judges and stuff, make sure noone attacks thats not supposed to, no buffs are casted when they shouldnt be etc etc.

Oh btw, since i said arena, it's prolly realm specific. So i should mention I am syrtis. But this could be organized in every realm! Or we could agree on some place on the wz or smth, and if all watchers sit around in a big circle, people are more likely to stop and watch rather than randomly attack...

So, ideas, comments etc. Let's hear it!

You love the arena, don't you? :P

The only problem I see is with teams, you can't control who you hit with your area spells in the arena so you might accidentally attack your own allies...

But otherwise it's a good idea.

Well it's fun in the arena, and it's an excellent way to train before going to wz. Test tactics etc.

Yeah it's a little hard for team games, since conjus cant heal and stuff, thats why maybe we should agree on some place in the wz...

Sounds awsome hope it works out

woops. Well then, i suppose we'll have to use both the wz and the arena.

I'm in.

That sounds like a great idea.

Miraculix · 12-17-2007, 05:42 PM

Okey then, I suppose we will need to settle a date for submissions? Just to see how many people are interested in it.

I'm gonna leave this topic running until, say, the rest of 2007

I hope we get events and rules sorted out by then and that enough people are interested. If by that time we have enough people, we will start organizing details and set dates and stuff

w00t! Good Ideas from the past (in-game time, at least)

Ask if NGD could do Global announcements of the Olympics. Oh! Better yet, ask if you could use their special Arena Island (I know some have you have seen it)
then All realms might be involved!
