Event: The Balor's Wrath

[addicted2rpg]

Wednesday (1-21-04), 6:30pm.

I have decided to go and do what phoenix has suggested and make a quest involving two parties, good and evil. First of all, I can only be in so many places at once and I have no idea how this is going to work out. If it is bad, I probably won't run this type of event again. If it is good, we can see more of it. All in all though, if I don't step out on a limb and try something new, we will never know which it will be, will we?

I will try to time it so that while I am talking with one party, the other one is walking acrossed long distances to buy time.

ADVANCE WARNING BEFORE HAND
THIS QUEST WILL CONTAIN PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER (PVP) CONTENT. YOU MAY DIE, BE ASKED TO KILL, AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS COULD BE JEOPARDIZED
----
I am capping each party (good and evil) at 6 members each. This will be *enforced* strictly for this quest. Only one party will be victorious.

Neutral characters may side with either party. Lawful Neutrals may prefer to side with the Good (this quest involves some law violations), and TN/CN's can side with either or not participate (a CN might pick evil team for enough gold or some wooing from evil team).

I would like to see a lot of good conduct from all of you about restraint during engagements (espeically rolling), but to be honest, don't expect any. Assume the worst. If you feel you can't bare to have your quest ruined by infighting or inappropriate behavior, just don't show up at all. It MAY go really well and exceed expectations if there is a mature cast, but don't count on it.

I havn't finished the entire thing. There will be a loose RP basis, and I may tighten it up and insert various RP roadblocks and take the high road. There is also the possibility I may see it fits better as an "Action Event (of willing participants)" with a downsized RP basis where some people can have their RP aftermath while the rest don't have to take it too strenously. I'll re-post which path I've taken before the event.

I suggest team captians/leaders, even if there is no RP sense to it, just to make things easier on you. That should minimize who you need to contact for some things, but not all. It will also give some structure while your 'away' dealing with the opposite team.

I would like to sign up for the event on the good team, your know the evul one. I'd expect my friends to join as well, I'll have them post or post for them shortly.

Thanks for trying this, I hope it works well, it does count on a bit of maturity and a lack of humility (for those that die). I know you will NOT be hearing from me should things go sour and I get have my left flank handed to me.

I'm up for it.

[addicted2rpg]

I've decided to follow a powergamerish theme with mild RP.

May you all have fun.

The event was ran at the time and date mentioned....

Didn't go so well. Good slaughtered evil in the first 60 seconds and the event was over. I was expecting a more intricate battle with people running ahead to capture mission objectives, but instead the two groups just fought eachother with mutual annhilation in mind.

The two party factor wasn't really a problem, BUT, it was kind of hard for me to manage in a "timely manner." If I were to do a two party event again, I would most likely do it with Makzimia, when and if he has time.

Oh well, I'm glad we tried it. At least I will never regret saying, "darn, that would of been cool.", when in fact, it wouldn't be.

There is probably stuff I could of done to make it better..... but didn't....

[Phoenix]

It was, well a slaughter, though I think a little unbalanced too. Thanks for trying it, I agree 1 DM/team if you ever try it again.

Oh well this is the first time I have posted but I am sure not the last. I loved it I was the most fun thing I have done sence I have been on the server. The evil people need help though I mean come on, the good people all have these ideams that are so hoover and they are beating us on levels by about 9 or 10 levels. So the good people get hooked, up but the evil gods will not come down and help us Evil basterds out, o well... hehehehe. ;D
