Escort Mission, won't it not really be fair, because if someone's already activated the masks on the way to the cliffs, and there's only one, it will be a lot faster than if nobodies activated any, and there are 6 or more

there are tons of other places where your speed depends on luck, not skill


We were actually considering just dropping the Single events in general since it doesn't seem to be worth it xd

That's what bo was telling me, that's why we switched for the Gauntlet thingy in the bigger event thing xd
well thats another idea

so... do you have any dates for when this is going to take place? and your plan of having a judge go with the person won't really work for the solo event(if we have a solo event)

We are stiiiill waiting for a few more teams to arrive, then, we are going to put a deadline on registration and start up the first event.

We will be hoping to move at the rate of 1 event/week after that.


And what we were GOING to do for the solo events (we dropped all of them btw if you check the list) is it'd be in a 5 people (1 from each crew)+judge type of thing, with the last man standing wins (or in the case of SS, farthest person wins). But yeah, we decided that'd be better to do a completely separate thing later (if i have the time, school is starting up again and I have slots of homework and studying and s**t). So, no solo events, only crew events :C

Actually, I'll bet the solo Olympics would get a lot more people because, for the people who want gold, it has a MUCH bigger prize, and for the people who are doing it for fun, soloing is generally harder. And I knew you dropped the solo events, I was talking about the solo Olympics.

We'd definitely require videos in a solo olympics, because snapshots could be too easily manipulated and give us no sense of time.

Though they could still be edited, so we'd probably have to find another solution confused

yeah, although you could either
a) make them do it on easy or normal
b) some bosses don't scale to the # of people in the crew, so just do those
or
c) have a judge stay in the boss area, but only have the judge kill half the baddies, and not the boss at all

and if you were going to do screenies('cause I don't have the software to make videos, or an account on any video sharing sites), you could make the person include the computer date and time at the bottom

Although another problem would be power-up abuse. :C

well, you could make them take screenies of how many powerups they have at the beginning and end

▬▬ Time on computers can be manipulated... though it'd take a crap load of effort.

I can also think of ways to get past no power ups (though those would also be inconvenience , but possible)

Maybe judges in null would be the best idea for solo...

But it will scale to 2 people for everyone, so there shouldn't be any problem.

I guess, but you should make the events on easy or normal then, because I couldn't solo Stone Coatl on hard with 2 minions attacking me.

Yeah, I know, but remember, this started out as a suggestion for the team events

I have done instance testing some lately for counting boss spawns.

To clarify-- Instances scale to HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE INSIDE-- NOT how many people are in your crew. So if you have crew members outsides/in null, it won't affect things. K? Good.

So just have the judge sit in null/outside the instance and watch them.
