:twisted: Here is an idea that has been tossed around, the settlestone arena has the ability to hold up to 4 teams. Me and a few others thought that it could be cool to have a clan arena where up to any amount of clans can pick up to 10 of their best clannies and have an arena pvp team tourney….
I’ve got something like this on the drawing board, but haven’t built it on the builders port yet.
Its a chaos arena with 2 bases, light and dark, separated by a short playing field. I’ve got a drawing on paper, but no scanner.
Each base will have one very thick mob in the center and you win by killing the mob in the enemy’s base. Each base has three entrances with large guardian mobs that block the opposing team (can’t flee or hunt pass). Guardian mobs don’t respawn.
The base mob and guardian mobs are alignment aggro. So before the match the light team must all get aligned good and the dark team aligned evil. It’d be easy enuff to make a referee type mob that sets player alignments automatically at start of match.
Also each base contains a store where they can purchase healing potions, dispel grenades, and troops. Purchasing troops causes alignment aggro wandering mobs to appear in the center of the board. So lets say I’m on the good team and I purchase “treant wave”. A bunch of wandering treants appear in the center of the board that will only be aggro to the evil players.
Death: dead players remain where they lie. You’re free to cast web on them, push them into your own base, whatever. But Corpses are sacrosanct and may only be looted or pick up by their owner. This is enforced by proc, you simply won’t be able to break this rule. Also after a short amount of time, corpses will teleport to the center of the board. (so your corpse won’t be trapped in the enemy base)
Money: players must deposit all gold before they enter the arena. There will be an entry way with a referee and bank teller available to do this. After they enter the arena, the agreed upon amount of gold will be distributed to each player. Very small amounts of gold will be very significant in this arena.
Timed events: if the match starts dragging on, certain random events can occur designed to speed up an outcome. For example: arena wide dispel, large aggro mob spawn, weakening of guardians, etc..
I based this loosely on Hero Wars or Dota from WC3 and had clan contests in mind.
That would seriously rock.
The Settlestone Arena is the worst place to fight ever. Couldn’t we have an actual area like Rub said? I know for a fact that Jahnesta is 99% written and already flagged for chaos and it has mobs. It could easily be the base town on the light side. I would be more than happy to alter it for this purpose, and/or help write/contribute in any way I can.
The reason I suggested SS arena is because it is currently the largest arena ingame atm. I was unaware of the chaos/arenas that are in the process of being built. I just thought that it would be cool for a few hours to see what you could do against other chars for fun, not to prove your the best etc. Altho, it seems we got more to look out for, I like your idea Rub sounds like it could be a good hit.
Sounds cool Yinao. It’s just a hard thing to do spontaneously. Planning an actual tournament takes a lot of work. I think Wasp organized the last one. Maybe they’d let you organize one if you were willing. Volunteer and see what happens.
The reason I’d like to get permission to build another arena is that I think it’d be cool to have something with a preset format that doesn’t require too much interference or effort on the part of the imms. Players decide teams. The teams enter the arena, match begins, one team wins, the end.
I’m thinking 2 teams of 3-8 players each with a clearly defined objective within a time frame of 20-40 minutes. Chaos arena just doesn’t appeal to me very much.
It would be fun if exp and random bonuses (god sancs, increased stats for a certain amount of time) for winners in the new arena.
sure the bonuses could then be abused, but seriously the time required to earn them is prob not worth it for those seeking to abuse it
bump
I actually built this thing and it works. Has the features discussed previously, plus some more. Some folks have had a sneak preview.
I’m taking more suggestions and discussion before I beg someone to transfer it to the live port.
The basic idea is that it would be a permanent feature of the game, but that initially it is opened as an actual tourney.
I think the current owner of the Mantour gaunts is Chi (2 years now?). Anyway my suggestion is that the gaunts go to the winning team, rather than the winning individual. The gaunts could be set as personal for a number of individuals. For example gauntlets mantour tourny Banedon Yasix Shazuko Gargon Messiaen….
[img:2kgcj44d]http://th118.photobucket.com/albums/o97/terminalunreality/Animated%20GIF/th_OWNAGE.gif[/img:2kgcj44d]
I’m thinking 5 person teams.

Spite is a dark emotion that nonetheless seems to help set humanity apart from its closest primate relatives, new research suggests.
ADVERTISEMENT
The sinister emotion that angrily dwells on how unfair the world is could shed light on the unusual human notion of fair play, and scientists say the research could help understand how and why these dark and light sides of human nature evolved.
One concept some researchers think is unique to humans is the idea of fairness—that everyone should share the same advantages and disadvantages.
The presence of spite in humanity could shed light on why people can cooperate so well with each other. “Spite is a bit nasty, but it reflects how much you care what actually happens to the other guy,” Jensen told LiveScience. “The fact that humans are sensitive to fairness has a dark side, but also a good side.”
“Spite, envy and jealousy are definitely not the best human qualities, but we have them and can’t get rid of them, so it’s interesting to study them to put humans in a wider context
So chew on that befoe you start the flaming :twisted:
Huh… and here I thought Hades was humanity’s closest primate relative.
fukkin clown
All the trolling and flaming is getting pretty old. Maybe someone could moderate the crier and start just removing it?
12345 and Weasel are feeding the troll for some unknown reason.
Hades has meanwhile resorted to posting as himself, then responding to himself as Shazuko and then responding the response as Hades. At what point will the powers that be just start deleting it or blocking it?
I think Weasel and Bit enjoy it more than I do.
i enjoy pizza :x
cuz obviously, heavy moderation is the cure for trolls, has worked so well elsewhere…
ever think of you know, just ignoring it?
I’m Shazuko? News to me. Then again I’ve also been called Fysternheart,Harlot,Pagan and some long forgotten Imm. You’ve been watching to much Murder She Wrote or similiar program. Here’s an idea, turn your TV off Lifetime and grow a set already. Btw, get your facts fight… the troll you seek is furry and in most cases un-named. For the clueless that means 13 and 12345. Who I am by the way. So kill me ingame when you see me. :twisted:
You’re just some piece of shit who is upset because you can’t psteal anymore. Please choke on your own vomit or find a new hobby.
Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? Try showing some maturity, if possible. I’m sure there are some visitors here wanting to check out a new MUD and/or check out the locale without having to read thru all this rubbish.
Perhaps you need to take a few days ‘vacation’ and check yourself. I have no ill will towards anyone here. Some of those who ‘poke’ back rather in jest or not actually group with me quite often ingame. So in true pirate fashion I call Parlay, and hope that we can come together as a people and rid these boards of the utter nonsense that has seemed to plague it of late.

Weasel’s Getup and Go Stew
What you will need.
*1 ½ pounds of Boneless Weasel
*1 Onion (Large)
*5 Carrots (Mid or Large)
*2 Bouillon Cubes
*5-6 Potatos (Large)
*3 Tablespoons of Ketchup
*1 -12 or 16 oz bag of Frozen Assorted Vegetables (Pea’s, what ever, pick what you like)
*1 Tablespoon of Salt
*1 teaspoon of Pure Sugar
*1 Teaspoon of Black Pepper
*8 cups of Water (Filtered)
First cut the weasel into ½ inch squares and then lightly brown them. Set to the side once done. Now prepare to cry and mince the onion. The smaller the cut, the better. Dice the carrots and potatos next (Potatos can be cut any way you prefer). Run warm water over frozen vegetables and then weed out the stems and such.
Now add the carrots, onion, potatos, bouillion cubes and unfrozen vegetables to a 16qt stockpot (or a pot that can hold at least 8qts.) Add the filtered water next and set the heat a little above halfway (6 on a range that goes from 1 to 10)
Once you bring the ‘Stew’ to a boil, add the steak, ketchup, salt, sugar and pepper. Bring to a boil again and then lower the heat to 2 or 3. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring ever once in a while.
Servings : (Depending on the amount) 8 servings
die. now. :evil:

Is that the best you can do? Your post has the tone of someone who has intimate knowledge of being said attention whore. I’m betting your the girl who walks by with her eyes on the floor because of no self-respect. I’d like to think I was wrong but somehow I don’t think so. Matters little to me what you think anyways but to set your diagnosis correct. Actually, I don’t care to be the center of attention. Most people bore me and I find them somewhat lacking of any credibility. Dealing with hundreds of different people bring me to the same conclusion as some others. That most people are sheep. So.. having said that.. what the heck do I care about what someone else thinks about themself or me? Anywho…maybe I am not funny as I think… don’t get paid to be. I have an odd sense of humour that some people get and some (sheep) just go about with their drollness. I’m not gonna drop to your level and name-call/insult. It’s not beneath me, your’e just not worth it.

Back on topic, I haff an ideaz.
Maybe on ‘corpsing’ players are immediately ‘raised’ but returned to some safe limbo-type room fully intact and healed, but cannot rejoin the action in the arena for a specific duration.. that way ‘Team A’ could use a strategy of say concentrating on first killing off some of the opposing team to thin out their numbers, and while part of that opposing team is taken out of the equation for that duration, ‘Team A’ could then mount a raid on the opposition’s flag.. (also a nice way to avoid annoying consequences if the mud should choose that moment to crash).
To further develop this strategy-type approach to the arena, perhaps disallow raises via spells, and instead two team members have to somehow pick the dead team member up and take them back to the home base (like a medevac), which then ‘raises’ the dead player after a 1-minute wait (all three players have to remain at the base for that 1 minute), then all three can return to the action. Alternatively, the team can choose to let the player corpse and be taken out of the action for a longer duration in the limbo-type room. Again this means tactics - ie: can your team afford to be short an additional 2 members for 1 minute while they drag a third member back to base for a raise, or better to let the third member just ‘corpse’ and be taken out of the action for 5 minutes (or whatever duration seems suitable).. Something along those lines anyway..
yes?
hrm,
I kinda think that it’s going to be like that already, as you don’t want to raise someone to 1 hitpoint just so the other team can smack them again right away. Also when you die, remember that your corpse is going to get sucked thru the ground and reappear in the center of the board. So you’re going to be pretty vulnerable unless your team helps you to go secure your eq.
If you wanted tho, I could add a one or two minute delay after corpsing until you re-enter the arena. But since you’re going to re-enter naked and low hit points anyway, I’m not sure it’s necessary to slap a lag penalty in addition. I get the feeling an additional delay would just serve to piss people off.
Oh, and yes I would like my previous post regarding Hades posted. I am actually rather insulted that you would choose to censor my post, rather than his persistent spam.
Thanks.
I’m not going to “check myself” because I’m not saying it in anger when I say that I hope u die. I just don’t think that there is anything positive about you. You are an intentional nuisance to the forum. You can’t justify your pointless spam by saying that we unknowlingly group with you in game.

Deal with it :P
Will area/arena have psteal also or just strictly pkill? It has a few chinks that need ironing out but could possibly turn out to be a hot spot to adventure.
heh.. not surprised to see that question from you Hades.. err.. Tap. I think if psteal were added to the area, at least 50% of the playerbase would avoid it, however that is just speculation. The point of the area, I believe, is for playing clan vs clan rather than pvp. Making the area psteal would (in my mind) change the dynamic to one of personal gain rather than working for a common goal, at least for some. In other words I can imagine certain pthiefs abandoning the goal of capturing the other team’s flag in favor of pillaging some eq off another player and leaving their teammates to die.
nevermind, carry-on.
Here are a couple of Ideas to be considered.
First, a trophy room, if it is going to be restricted by clan, then the game should be able to tell which clans are fighting and keep a tally of total win/loss over the life of the arena. Could also have a special board of remarkable feats, such as if you had one team of 3 players smoke a team of like 9 or 10 then it would be on that board as a battle of note.
Throw in a locker, or chest, in the area that after 2 (or more) items has been placed in it, can not have items removed from it until all players from one clan have been killed. Then winning clan can raid the locker. That would throw in the element of having something on the line if you lose.
And along the lines of a trophy room. Create a useless best clan trophy. Award it to the winner of the first clan battle in the arena. After that have a sign up sheet in the arena where contending clans can challenge the clan with the trophy. Would require some coding but have the challenging player choose when the challenge would take place and list the number of people from their clan who will be fighting. Then if not enough people show up from that clan, they can’t actually contend for the trophy, but if more show up, still only the number originally stated can participate. Then have no such restriction on the clan that holds the trophy, it will give them the advantage but will also force more clan members to work as teams to keep the trophy. Not sure the possibility of it, but instead of it being a useless trophy, perhaps it could add +1 ma/hp/mv regen to the room it is in as long as it is in a clan hall. That would keep the battles going as each clan would probably want the ‘best’ regen room on the mud.
Sorry if these ideas have already been mentioned, didn’t read the whole thread.

I totally agree. Some people hate challenges and would rather ‘puss out’ instead of facing them. Having psteal would add the ‘x’ factor.

Yep, a team/clan leader would have to know his teammates to know who he/she was working with. But to add to the mix.. assuming more than 2 clans would be involved at the same time… not only would they have to watch out for opposing clan(s) but also be on guard against independent operators. Certain rules could be coded to keep certain ‘individuals’ from running in and grabbing items and leaving area before retribution could be gotten. Maybe gates could be locked to keep anyone from leaving BUT not entering. Then gates wouldn’t be re-opened to end of conflict. Also, recalls and such obviously wouldn’t work. I’d like to add that thieves need a new skill called….
Hideout
level 10
This will allow a thief to make a cache into which to hide in. Only by looking ’target’ would reveal the person hiding.
This has alot of potential…

It’s a proposed clan area. for clans. understand? Don’t try to make out you’re proposing some ‘x’ factor - you’re just trying to figure a way to rip others off and gain eq for yourself without having to actually work for it like everyone else, and that is it Hades. Calling people pussys if they don’t agree with you doesn’t help your case.
Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear. Understood it’s a proposed clan area. Also mentioned that just because it’s clan based shouldn’t keep someone who isn’t in a clan out. What about 4-5 people who don’t wanna be in a clan but want to group for a tournament or whatever. Also, certain guards could be placed to keep someone who wished to ‘solo’ from leaving area before time was up etc etc would prevent cheating for someone who plays a pthief. Don’t be so damn paranoid.. I’m not calling people pussies for not wanting an ‘unknown’ variable thrown in a mix. Just some people, not YOU of course, get all worked up when even a hint of psteal is mentioned.
Good day to you sir,
I would pay a lot to find out who hades plays, if she even plays. It would be worth logging on for more than an hour or two at a time to give her the ole fyrstenheart salute.
I hear Hades other char is Bag but maybe thats just a rumour. Also, why pay someone? Pkilling is against the rules and strictly enforced.
:D
Sorry, I got off-topic. Please stay on topic 13 or start a new thread. Anyone else have other ideas for this area?

If you want to join a clan tourny (if one should ever exist), then join a clan - nobody is going to stop you ‘un-joining’ the clan afterwards. If you really don’t want to join a clan, then you have no reason to go to a clan arena - there are already existing solo arenas ingame for you, so use them. End of story.
Well, on that note, how exactly does one go about joining a clan. Last I heard some clans were expecting immediate dues from players to join etc. Am interested in joining a clan but not sure exactly what the procedure is on sloth. Does it vary clan to clan? is there an easy way to see who the clan leader is to talk to them? What about newer players? Is there a clan to take on newer players just getting in to sloth? This might be a question better suited to a new topic but to be honest very few crier topics seem to last 10 comments before they are about something else. Well…ummm….and that’s all I have to say about that…..<—best forrest gump impression I can muster.

The process depends on the clan. There isn’t a set group of circumstances.
The clan board (on BH at least, don’t remember if there is one on every continent) should list the different clans as well as the clan leaders. The clan leader is the only one who can actually add people to the clan, though anyone in the clan might be able to give you information about their processes.
Indeed, each clan has their own methods.
Some require financial support, some have extensive deliberations, some take bribes, some just take anyone.
And then there are some that are just plain impossible to deal with :roll:

Alias
I believe the standing guidelines on Sloth for clan related stuff is that being in a clan should not provide any substantive bonus to the player and that not being in a clan should not restrict a player from any part of the game. Thus anyone can participate and on anyone else’s team. If a particular clan wants to field a team and name themselves the DS, DoW, Pirate, Sapphire,…etc team thats fine. But ultimately anyone is free to be on anyone else’s team.
Regarding Tap’s suggestions:
Pstealing will be on or off depending on the the master switch. It won’t be “enabled” or “disabled” in this one zone. Taking anything from someone’s corpse however is disabled. You are only able to loot your own corpse. However I did make it so that when you kill someone, their gold automatically transfers to you.
Regarding Resouh’s suggestions:
A trophy is easy enough to make and give out, but I’d rather see trophy eq. There are already the Mantour Gaunts, but it would be nice if the admin could be talked into making some new tourny eq. Seems kinda unfair that the only tourny item is stabber eq. Perhaps something ACish and something with nice mana regen+spellbonus could be added.
I will try to make the arena automated as you suggested tho, perhaps where you can challenge the top team for the trophy eq and they have x number of weeks to respond before their eq poofs. Perhaps you would have to pay to challenge them. This will have to be further down the road tho, it’ll be a coding challenge. The board would also have to wait as I don’t know how to do it yet.
If teams want to wager eq on on a fight, I could just do it manually. Teams give me the stuff to hold onto and I give it to the winners. I could try to automate this also down the road.
Thanks for the ideas.
Any volunteers for player testing on Sunday afternoon or evening? Send me a private msg via the crier and pls give me your char’s name. I might also do some mob testing sometime soon. So if you hear some new mobs talking smack on gossip, I’d appreciate it if you’d dispatch them. They should take no more than 3-5 players and some are even soloish.
the tourney eq was updated a couple years ago and most of it is awesome
i know there are extra margn items and extra out of cap spelldmg items
wrist and shield respectively iirc
maybe add a few more clasp types for the hands, arms, waist, and body…
+1 hit (iron studs added to brass knucks, etc…)
+1 dam (claws added to gloves, etc…)
.1ac (bronze plating added to body armor, etc..)
and/or a nice item for the
<Chaos>
Hrm.. to steal an idea from movies who steal them from books..
Random goodie bags during tournament would be interesting.. item’s could be Temp-zone to keep them out of normal play and have affects like full-mana restore, extra-oomph heal etc etc. Maybe even temp-eq one could
gear up in or wield to up the odds…
Also.. now that you’ve announced gold would be transferred upon death, peeps will bank before tourney….maybe make a requirement to have ‘x’ amount on them to enter area.
Seems like things are starting to come together… last thought.. how can we get psteal enabled or is that dependent on time and whim of Imm?
:roll:
Your gold is auto-banked when you enter. At start of tourney, a pre-agreed sum of gold is distributed to each team to purchase stuff. Currently the only things available for purchase are:
dispel grenades (can throw into an adjacent room, or just pull pin, give to player x and run away. Dispels all effects < 41 in the room on detonation.)
triple restore potion
tangle vines (good side - Stationary defensive mob that targets evil side)
grymlyns (dark side - charging wandering aggros that attack good side)
More to be added.
Dispel grenades sound awesome! I love it. Funny, only thieves have throw? I don’t know if you’re using that skill for the nades, even.
Just a thought, the shop you add doesn’t need to be all new items. Plenty of potions and scrolls and coconuts around that might be useful in an arena. It might be good to disallow people from bringing in potions / scrolls from outside the arena though, and force the teams to purchase those items from their team gold.
Sounds like fun though, I hope to try it sometime. :)
Is this arena going to be in additon to, or in replacement of, the classic
