UO-Risk...Where to play it?

To draw from a hat you could make a list of events in a bunch of books(all the same of course) and toss them in a back and when it comes time, have the side draw from the back.

Thanks for explaining it CK!

I don't get it entirely, but it sounds intriguing.

At first, I thought you meant to re-enact risk using real players as armies and PvPing (dueling?) in place of dice rolls.

But - you really are just recreating the dice boardgame with a UO theme, right?

Nifty!

Ok, so far this is the line-up:

Good

Se'an (ATD)
CK (ATD)

Bad

Gak (ORC)
CaT (PaxO)
Malia (SoSV)
Havok (13th)

Neutral

Winfield (Pax)
Cymbria (DWxC)

Now for pvp events Gak, CaT, Se'an, & CK can all already fight each other, is it possible for the 13th to just war ATD? maybe Malia could temporarily join the 13th for events? or if the SV alliance can war ATD then she could stay in SoSV....I'm not sure how it all works.

I do think it would be cool to be able to actually hold the pvp events in Vesper, bridge fighting sounds fun

I'd also suggest that since this is the first time we are trying this, and there will undoubtdly be bugs we will have to work out along the way, we should try and keep it simple, we can always add stuff later.

Gak mentioned in the event post some of the options for pvp:

"When I speak of a side getting to chose the rule for the event I mean things like:"

Gm only items
Anything goes
No pets
No mounts
No potions
and so on...

Should this change per event or should we just agree on a Rules of Engagement for the duration?

Also for events that have to be held in places other then Vesper, like Archery, lets agree before hand and have runes marked, or a runebook along, so we save time by already knowing where we are going for the event.

What about Alts? Do I have to stick to Havok for every event or can I field my best toon for events? I do think there should be a master list (we wouldn't need to list who's alt is who's), of who is going to participate. Guildmembers/Alliance members may not post on the forums but they may want to join in on this, so we'd list them.

Just some thoughts....

It's more like giving a bigger meaning to smaller events, with a good vs. evil feel. A long term goal, I guess.

You should sign up, we need more good.

*Neutral? Neutral?!? With all that trashtalk... Neutral??? C'mon now... Neutral? Really???

*I believe alliances can war alliances, alliances can war single guilds(and vice versa), Single guilds can war single guilds, but war cannot be waged on a single guild that is part of an alliance.

I do think it would be cool to be able to actually hold the pvp events in Vesper, bridge fighting sounds fun

*Having the whole game set up for pvp in Vesper might take a whole day or so to play one game. When everyone on one side dies, the land is taken and battle is waged for the next island once everyone is set. This does sound fun! I REALLY like this idea...

I'd also suggest that since this is the first time we are trying this, and there will undoubtdly be bugs we will have to work out along the way, we should try and keep it simple, we can always add stuff later.

*Yeppers, Me like simple

*Per event, see how even the sides are. As the numbers above show, the evil would win even if they close boph peepirz

Also for events that have to be held in places other then Vesper, like Archery, lets agree before hand and have runes marked, or a runebook along, so we save time by already knowing where we are going for the event.

*We could hand out plenty of runes for the next event at the Paxlair meetings

What about Alts? Do I have to stick to Havok for every event or can I field my best toon for events? I do think there should be a master list (we wouldn't need to list who's alt is who's), of who is going to participate.

*If I had alternate characters, I would have an opinion on this. I think its a good idea. Being stuck as a humie/elf must be a drag. Perhaps have the sign-in book in game somewhere? A messageboard would be good for this, I think.

Just some thoughts....
