Capture the ... erm... Tricorne hat.

This is an idea and I wonder if you folks would be interested in.

A capture the flag event in Trinsic (since it's nicely defendable]. The flag will be a neon green (or at least one of the bright green bod clothes) tricorne hat for visibility, worn by me, Sir Robert.
The lightbringers would defend it, the evils (or whomever would simply want to kick the lightbringers rear ends) would try to invade Trinsic, defeat me and loot the hat, then return to the moongate.

Rules:
-Looting is just permitted of the carrier of the flag.
-Whomever has the flag, HAS to wear it
-No mounts
-No recalling inside Trinsic, or with hat in possession.
-One death
-Medium (drake strength) pets only, one per tamer. Pet is removed from fight when tamer dies.
-All involved guilds have to be warred to all of the other side.

Set up:
Guilds involved will war each other and 10 minutes before begin meet in a neutral area, to make sure the opposite side is orange.
Defenders will set up position in Trinsic.
Attackers will gate in at their location OUTSIDE of trinsic.

Goal:
The Goal is to kill me, Sir Robert and loot the green hat. Whoever has the hat, has to wear it before moving. Once the hat is in the possession of the attacker, they have to head to the Trinsic moongate on foot, and enter the moongate.

Winning situations:
1. Defender defeat all attacker.
or
2. Attacker escape with the hat into the moongate.

Additional:
Unwarred parties can be invited as independent referees.
As looting is part of it, DO NOT bring uninsured items that you would hate to lose. Remember that potions, reagents and bandages can be easily replaced. Any complains of being looted at this event will be met with blank stares and a "why did you bring it then?" response.

Time and Date to be determined.

Ah yeah.. this will be mostly an OOC event. Just so that Umbra can finally shed some blood in Trinsic.

At least you can scout it out and test the defenses.

The Hat should represent Trinny itself just to up the stakes. Twisted Evil

PS: For the first time in a long time, Finland might win a war.

Finland seems to win all the time. Last time I used it, asking at the ULMB which graphic card I should by... 60% told me to get Finland.

If the person who takes the hat is a stealth, is it ok for them to stealth their way to moongate? Or just they be visable? Thought I'd bring this up before the game ever started Razz

It sounds great to me.

I would say no stealthing with flag in possession. The idea of the green tricorne hat and having it worn is to make it CLEARLY VISIBLE who holds the flag. And while I trust you people, the chance to cheat if stealthing can be used is too high.
*grabs hat, pretends to hand it over to someone else, who stealthes, carries flag into moongate, pretending stealther still has it.*

Stealthing to ninja-assassinate the target. Sure, go ahead...

Just as a reminder.

I haven't forgotten about it, there are just a few things I'm waiting on, before the planning goes into phase II.

1. I'm not yet guild leader of the KOS. This means, I am officially the leader, which means, I can make the decisions, etc, but the current GM hasn't had IRL time to transfer the guildleadership in game over to me. I tried to get snatch it via the voting system, but didnt work out.
2. Once I am for the game the guild leader, I'll join the House of the Gauntlet/Sanctus alliance, to make it easier.
3. Mayor Prower has offered to make the "uniforms". Yes, since not everyone will be in an alliance, I think the best way would be to wear uniforms: Red for attacker, purple (since its trinsic) for the defender. Most likely robe and cloak.

Also. Since we have no longer a bagball league, why not making a capture the flag.. erm.. hat league? But for that, let's see how the event goes first, aye?

Dad won't let me have the evil armor. I might as well go for a hat.

When is this day of death to hat wearers?
