Game Theory - Psychological PvP Event @ Zychion

[xillonz]

Salix Sol Presents:



A test to see if the chat box is mighter than the EnBlade

Date: 08-08-09 @ 18:30-19:30 (MA time)
Location: Zychion Citadel
Ticket Price: 15 PED

Please get there 1/2 an hour earlier to help the organisers and maximise the playing time.

Rules:
One life only, deaths will be tracked, once you are killed you are out of the game. Revive room exit will be blocked off.

A certain percentage of the ticket money will go onto the prize pool. This prize pool will be evenly distributed to all contestants still in the game, that is, hasn't been killed. This will happen even if noone dies.

Diplomacy will be paramount, do you get everyone to agree not to kill anyone, thus ensuring that everyone gets at least some of their money back. Do you get everyone to agree to kill one person. Or do you try to kill enough people to ensure everyone still alive makes some money.

The percentage of the ticket price going towards the prize pool will determine how many people still need to be alive in order to get your ticket money back (that is, if 60% of the ticket price goes towards the prize pool, 60% or less still alive will guarantee everyone gets their money back (not including decay).
Here are the Prize Pool percentages for the number of people registered.
1-20 registered, PP is 60%
21-49 registered, PP is 70 %
50+ registered, PP is 80%

Further Rules
No healing.
No armour.
No leaving the PvP area (includes using the TP).
No TP chips.
No Scanners.
Unamped TT weapons only!

If you feel that someone breaks any of these rules, and they stay alive to the end, you are to take a screenshot, and report to me (quietly) after the event. Judges will be roaming the field.

Please register at the Zychion event NPC, or if you see me in game, I might have some tickets available.

Feel free to discuss tactics.

If you would like to volunteer in assisting the event in someway (either as a judge, advertiser, or something else) please PM and I will gladly follow it up.

And you said EU presented "no more challenges"


Best of luck with the event!
I'll see if I can make this one.. my first PVP event

May I use Cb5 though?
I'm BLP Sniper all the way. I'm not even maxed Cb5 yet though.

[AA Omega]

Wooohoo, this is gonna be great!

I'm in

[somon90]

It might be a good idea to forbid faps to.. as the fight might go on for quite some time otherwise..

I might join if I manage to find my goldcard reader ^^

[DaveFoz]

Good idea for an event.

However if you going to make it so that it is TT weapons only that you do not let the event system to award the prize. and you have plenty of judges out in the field as it is not hard for those who are not so nice to slap a few shos in with a big gun and finish with a TT one

That is from previous experience of TT only open event

The percentage will start at 70%, if a large number of people register, it will be increased to 80%. If very few people register, it will decrease to 60%

So let say 10 people join is that a few? Or is it 100 people?
With a price pool that can change instantly by one man it does not feel right
Set the pricepool as a fact, for example:

1-20 PP is 60%
21-49 PP is 70 %
50-up PP is 80%

That way no one could feel tricked

Thanks, funnily enough you hit upon the the exact numbers that I was thinking it was appropriate to change the PP. I certainly do not want people to feel they are tricked, so I will edit the original post with these numbers. Ideally I'd have a scaled formula which tracks the PP for every registered participant, however that is probably too confusing for people.

Cheers for the comment.

[Torresta]

Sounds great I am in.

I would say no because CB5 is better than opalo

[xillonz]

Yeah sorry. At the moment, going to say no to the CB5, just because its going to be hard enough for the judges to ensure everyone sticks to the TT weapons.
