relevance ftw

Bounty hunter type idea worked like this : A player becomes the target. A bounty is placed on this target's head. Opposing realms try to track and kill this player within a time frame to gain the reward. The home realm defends the target for the time frame to divide the reward.

This is how the AMUN experimental event is structured. In this case, the test offers up to 1000 magna as a bounty reward. Remember it's experimental and may never go live.

If it does, it could work nicely on RA as i see how they handle it on amun. On Horus, I predict potentially disastrous results. The culture of Horus is not quite ready for it.

This. It would probably turn into a solo hide and seek game, who can glitch which texture or run faster etc...

Thanks for the info, I didn't know the details.

Only thing for NGD to consider is, whether the reward is given to the single guy, or spread between his defenders..?

There was a world cup event, so I suppose its possible there could be one.

Olympics event? You mean throwing javelin/hammer/discus/metal balls on enemy zergs, jumping over rocks/logs/etc. while chasing enemies, swimming/diving (good luck with getting rid of necro) etc.? - Fencing is implemented already.

I'd really love to see the possibility to give points for sync jumps into river (some people already started training for that and became real masters of this sport).

Also sth like pole vaulting into enemy castles or over realm walls would be fun

(I apologize for all sports I left out - feel free to add anything)

Don't know if it might happen but wouldn't NGD be at risk of getting into trouble with the Olympics companies? I mean, it's not like they're stealing sales from the Olympics but they would be using someone else's idea, and it wouldn't be like St. Patrick's day, because there aren't really any rights people hold to that holiday. Like I said, don't know any details but in this world, people are suing left and right for stupid things. Olympic event could be nice though, barbs would win most races with spring.
