Tournament of the Races

I`m sort of like an on call retiree, I get called back into action when things get interesting.

The best event ever quarter backed by mara was this concept of race tournys. I was a maru at the time, best event ever with storyline and balance. Stacking was required and spamming was punished. Staff was involved and given npc empires to control. What a great event it was, nothings been close to as excellent as that event since.

Thought you retired raist

*rubs hands together while looking at the ranks* someone trying a UW without my permission eh?

Oh lawdy, that`d be fun.

Other prize ideas: "UW slayer" for the last 2 people to make attacks on a UW before killing it (if it is the same person, then get both prizes).

Again, THE UW DOESNT HAVE TO GO OFF! It can go for 3 weeks if defenders are that good or attackers are "lazy".

Accord, that`s a good point. The UWs wouldn`t necessarily have to go off. In fact, we can keep the UW going until it is defeated entirely. So you would have UW conditions for an entire week if need be on RT server.

We could also have prizes for things like players who do the most damage to the UW, best defender of the UW in terms of # of players hit above a certain PR, etc.

And this would happen 6 times. :D

Lmfao @ Accord

Dam I miss that girl running rank

Bahaha!!! thats exactly right!! really hoped the UW rewards would entice more to attempt it. =(

wingnut it is because most people on RT that are UW`able are all gollums, they look at their empires and rub them while screeching the words "precious"

why doesn`t someone just try to UW on RT the old fashioned way? It`s been almost a year. You all have the capability to make an event happen. Just go do it.

6 UWs at once ;-]

too bad it`s impossible.

These are good suggestions i would love to be something put into place, but with the npc rolling UW wouldn`t be fair really, due to it being attacked by multi races and then the "cost" comes into play, they last UW would have a advantage over the first due to people being a little more drained in both aspects of mind and economy.

Oh, and to prevent an unfair advantage, everyone starts at less than 20m pr when the UW starts or they get force VMed 3 days.

As an alternative to the runoff UW idea, you can determine the winner by which one lost the least PR.

And how would you measure "winning"?

I say do 6 NPC UWs by lucas using only ships of a specific race, and whichever one survives the longest. So Lucas might be terran first time, then Miner, then maru ships, guard ships (although at perhaps a decreased PR other than max PR), etc.

If two or more races somehow make it, there will be a runoff UW to determine the winner. :P

Incidentally, whichever race wins, let it benefit the other servers too so those of us who don`t really play RT can have a team to root for from the sidelines. ;)

To make it interesting, the prize to the winner could be a permanent minor increase in race stats or something (like +5% to collective food if they win, or +5% tax to guard if they win).

i like that idea and war won your fed gets a prize from each victory
