September Giveaway and Event Schedule

With the wipe only hours away, I wanted to share a preview for the giveaways and events we’ll be seeing during the month of September! Nothing is set in stone, and we may see some changes based on the needs of the server. However, barring any changes, here’s some idea of what kind of stuff to expect for the coming month!

Giveaways:

• September 1-7:  Assorted food items – Small Presents – Cosmetic Items
• September 8-14:  Anything Above, plus: Medium Presents – Small Beneficial Items (Traps, Stashes, Etc)
• September 15-21: Medium Presents – Large Presents – Supply Signals
• September 22-October 5: Supply Signals – Weapons – Rocket Launchers – Rockets – Timed Explosive Charges

Events:

• First Weekend:  Caveman Arena
  • Staff builds an arena and scatters primitive weapons throughout
  • Contestants enter the arena naked, gather weapons or armor and fight
  • Each round, the first to die falls out of the contest
  • The final winner receives a choice of prizes
• Second Weekend:  The Labyrinth
  • Staff will construct a multi-level enclosed labyrinth including some locked doors or hatches.
  • Logic puzzles and clues can be found around the labyrinth to figure out the codes for the doors or hatches.
  • A prize chest exists in the center of the labyrinth.
  • TWO MODES OF PLAY:  Small prizes for each person to solve the labyrinth -OR- timed, competitive play, with larger prizes to the person with the best time.
    
• Third Weekend: Airdrop Mayhem
  • An admin will announce 30 minutes before the event that it is going to initiate soon. At this time, they will note 3 monuments where the event might take place. 15 minutes before the event, they will narrow it down to 2 monuments. Once the event begins, players will be able to follow the contrails of supply planes or the sound of helicopters to direct them to the event.
  • At a randomly-selected monument, 2-8 supply signals will be triggered.  3 minute after the first supply crate drops, helicopters will be summoned to the area, or an admin will be hidden in the area as a sniper.
  • Players can choose to try and sneak in to take over the supply drops, attack the helicopter(s), hunt other players who are doing one of the above, or give the area a wide berth so they can gather or build in relative peace while the more violent sorts are fighting it out over guns and ammo.
• Fourth Weekend:  ARMAGEDDON
  
  • With the wipe imminent, utter chaos reigns.  Any of the above events may trigger. Additionally, random giveaways will increase, and can include explosives and incendiaries.
• October 5th:
  • Multiple giveaways of rockets, guns, ammunition, explosives, and supply signals. Violence reigns supreme.  Did someone raid you to death earlier in the wipe? Been holding a grudge?  Sick of that eyesore building near yours screwing up your view?  BURN. EVERYTHING.
