Hunger Games-like Event this Saturday ...

[haywardgb 129]

Sorry for the short notice, but it was a last minute poke in the ribs from my admin to tell everyone about this.. Before I start, here's the link to our main server thread, for those that want those details afterwards: http://dayzmod.com/f...d-trading-zone/

HUNGER GAMES event - Today (Saturday, 23rd March 2013) @ 2PM (GMT)

ORING MAP: Version 1.0.7 (Not 1.0.8)

The event is from 2pm until 10pm (sorry for the earlier typo)

You must be white listed before 11am to join as this is a private event for white listed members only.

So, what's it all about?

It's nothing serious, just an idea me and the admins had the other night. For one weekend only we are going to change to the ORING map , start players off in pairs (or solo, it's your choice) and give them nothing more than a map, a compass, survival kit and 2 hours to get yourself orientated, find a base and prepare for the hunt. There will be no killing for the first 2 hours, although you can kill zeds and animals if you wish. After the 2 hours is up, the admin will announce "Let the HUNGER GAMES BEGIN" or words to that effect and the player with the most kills by the end of the weekend wins a prize (see below). The competition runs until 10pm Sunday. Like I said, nothing too serious and don't expect a modded map with fancy effects, this is a vanilla install with basic admin scripts and no AI ;)

Rules and other Information:

• The game starts at 2pm sharp (London time) this Saturday: Late comers will not be granted access.
  
• You can enter the competition as a solo survivor or as a pair (its your choice).
  
• Side chat will be disabled for this event, so you'll need to sort out skype or other comms with your team mate.
  
• You can type in global or direct chat to get the admins attention, in emergencies only.
  
• NO killing other players until the Games Master (admin) gives everyone the all clear.
  
• Killing anyone before the announcement will result in a 72 hour ban.
  
• Cheating of any kind will result in a permanent ban.
  
• The player with the most "player" kills at the end of the game (Saturday 10pm) wins.
  
• The prize is 10 weapons of your choice plus 50 magazines of your choice.
  
• No alternative prize options, take it or leave it :P
  
• You must have a tent on our server for us to put the prize items in for you.
  
• Admins may enter the competition, but the prize will go to the most kills by a non-admin player.
  
• You may not have an admin on your team (for obvious reasons).
  
• Admins will not have access to anything more than basic RCON tool (this is my promise).
  
• NO AI , Refuel scripts, tow scripts or edited loot spawns.. What you see , is what you get.
  
• The map, in case you forgot already will be ORINGS (not to be confused with Origins, the mod)
  
• The admins will not be able to answer any questions during the game. Please use common sense and reread these rules and information if you're unclear of anything.
  

We look forward to seeing you in ORING and may the best team win :)

Hey dude, I think this would be cool, however 8 hours long seems a little long for one event, but that is just my opinion :) Hope it works out!

Time goes fast on my server with the regulars, we often burn up 12 hours without even realising it.

We also have a surprise planned for the last 3 hours ;)

The ORING MAP event has been cancelled due to the serious bugs with the map. Sorry to everyone who came along , suffered from unexplained deaths, clipping through the floor, lagging in vehicles and having to relog every 5 minutes. I'll organise a similar event for next weekend, but on a different map.
