I believe we decided to do test run in vesper for UO risk. Everyone wanting to participate is invited to help with the trial run to help work out any bugs that might arise.

10 pm eastern(If I heard correctly) this thursday, everyone meet at the Vesper bank in Trammel. I am going to wear all gm armour to save on insurance. You dont have to do the same, but I would assume that most everyone will die several times. Make sure you have insurance money.

We will divide up in to evenish teams and have a good time.

There are dice on a table in the tavern that we can use to see who goes first.

Are we going to just try a test run on the clompin part or are we also going to try one of the events too? (we are still planning on mixing in events, right?)

How about we have island to island PvP event.
Last team standing- teams battle until one team is all dead. No Rezing. We can play a best of three, depending on how long it takes.

Then we can have an archery tournament
Everyone takes five (or ten, depending on number of people)shots. Best score wins, to save on time.

Depending on time, we could do another island to island PvP event.

That should work the bugs out, I guess. Now that I think about it, we could do the events like this, Shortened versions, for the game. Would allow us to do several "moves" in one night.

*Reminder: Insure items and be certain the character, you are going to play, has insured the items they are carrying. I'm using Gm armour and weapons to cut down cost of insurance, participants don't have to do this, but everyone should expect to die several times.*

We should meet up at Vesper bank, divide into teams.
we should claim a few islands and toss in some neutral ones as well, five or six connected islands, just enough for a quick campaign, not the whole map.

Ok, I'm going to contradict myself on doing events Thursday, I still really think we should try and split it 50/50 for fights & events, but most of the events we are thinking of are well established on how to run them. What will still have to figure out is how to mix them in, but we can do that out of game.

So yeah, I wasn't thinking when I posted orginally........Again , sorry!

Lets just use Thursday to foucus on the island fighting! Woot!

Gak likes the way you think.

We could work in quick archery tournament.

I was planning on taking a break(5-10 minutes) between events/fights.

A lot of work went into bringing this concept into play, and I thank you all.

I had a very good time..I think we all did!

I agree, it was alot of fun last night!

I don't know if any one else is a gear-head, but much later last night I kept picturing Winfield as the host of Speed Channel's "Pinks", the original format, where the host kinda negotiates/moderates between the 2 racers before the start of each race.

I've got this picture in my head of Gak, Winfield, & NANOC huddled up debating mounts or no mounts, and other fine details before each match. I do think once the fight begins it should be left up to the teams to figure out their own tactics during the fight (this isn't a shot at anyone, I realize last night we were just working thorugh different scenarios, and I appreciate that.), and for the neutral parties to act as referees and maybe healers?

I'm not big on the scout idea. One draw back is if we are starting on seperate Islands some of the bridges are of differing lengths and that could mean sacraficing your scout and then being down one right off the bat

If we had a attacking team and defending team, both decide what tactics they plan on using, hiding, or trying to hold the attackers at the bridge, etc..when both sides are ready the give the ref a heads up and then the ref calls the start of the match.

I hope we stick with Se'an's original map, 3 areas each per side first to 10, was it 10?, wins!

just my 2 shinnies

Gak and I both had a great time last night.

I would like to thank everyone that attended, participated, and helped out.
Special thanks to Lord Havok and Se'an Silverfoot for getting the ball rolling.

For those of you who didn't participate you missed out some good fun AND you missed out on seeing Gak's head roll around the cobblestone streets of Vesper. But fear not, we will do it again next week...and the week after that, too.

*grins* All I did was post Your Ideas!!! Thank You for letting me do it Here!

Wish I could have come to watch or be apart of it. I work Nights so that sucks. Any chance I can see some screenies of it?

Winfield said he had some screen shots, but there was so much carnage that they can't be posted on UO forums...or maybe we had so much fun it couldn't fit on a computer screen.

Enjoy! Sorry for publishing later than desired.
*censored for carnage*
