EM Event "The Ranger Revue - The Whiteblade Archery Tournament" - 20th July @ 8pm UK

[EM Gotan]

This will be an EM run archery tournament, hosted in Skara Brae... as requested by the last Governor of that city. The top 3 archers will have their name on a plinth in Skara Brae somewhere.


[This Space Reserved For The Governors Fiction]

 

[EM Gotan]

This will be going ahead as planned, but unfortunately I've not heard from Palin Whiteblade so the fiction will be EM driven. Come one and all and get your archery on!

 

[EM Gotan]

I'm just hearing now from our commentators at the scene that the results are coming in... and they are... "No one likes Tormented Minotaurs! But there's a thumbs up for the Platinum Dragon" Not the ones we were looking for! What were the actual archery scores, Jim? "Well beginning with round 1..."

A number of players dropped out for the second round, but we did get to witness the nail biting shoot-off between Thor and Titanium extending to the 9th arrow, which ended with one of them splitting his own arrow, Robin Hood style, in the bullseye!

Robert and Hypo both had equal scores on the 5th shot, so I let them take 1 more to break the tie. Had Pestilenz equalled anyone after 5 he too would have had a 6th shot... You can see one match has to go to 9 shots before they separate Had they come second and third at that point, behind someone and their 5 shots, they'd have stayed so, it was just to work out which of a tie came higher... if I'd let everyone take a 6th shot you could be there for ever, as now the third person could equalise someone else's score...

As Pestilence was already in the final, his name went on the display all the same though, so the final score doesn't matter as much as his overall performance.

One thing I wanted to do, which didn't work out, was lock people in the alleys for a second round with opposing npc Archer mobs, and the winner was whoever survived longest, but I found that the mobs didn't target the players quick enough, and their corpses made too much of a mess, so I scrapped that idea. I was looking through a list of lesser seen mobs and letting everyone fight those instead during working out the next rounds, he he!

 

[drewster513]

oh i must have missed the 6th shot tie breaker but i was there to see the rest
