Ironman

[Sheezo]

:: Sheezo's Ironman Competition #1 ::


Q: What exactly is 'Ironman' ?
A: Ironman is a sort of mini competition, where up to 8 players make new hardcore classic chars, level up to 9 together - and then duel. The last man standing wins, simple, right?

Q: Are we allowed to transfer items to our ironmen?
[i]A: No, that would defeat the whole purpose.

Q: Will we be allowed to use healing potions? What about healing auras, such as prayer?
A: At this time I have decided that prayer & healing potions will not be allowed, because I want some diversity, not 8 healadins in the game.

Q: Can I use any char I want? What about a necro, with summons?
A: Yes, you can choose any char you want, granted it doesn't use illegal healing (such as a pally with prayer on.) You may use summons, but you will not be granted time to go gather them, when its your turn to duel you must duel as is.

Q: Can anyone join?
A: Yes! If you are interested in joining, just reply to this post or PM me

Q: How can we be sure no one cheats?
A: Hopefully, a moderator, or trusted member of this forum will participate on this, in which case they will provide a character name prefix, and require you to wait in game while the other players receive their prefix.

Q: When is it?
A: The Ironman tourny will begin Saturday, March 28th @ 7:00PM Pacific time, which I believe is GMT -8, please correct me if i'm wrong.

I'd say at least turn on loot for everybody, then your reward is up to 7 extra sets of Ironman gear ! :)

Id be interested if there was a rule that prohibits to transfer any items. Enchant could be useful too, to level up faster.

[Fists of War]

Love to join in on one of these...

And you don't really need to level up any faster, it's kind of fun trying to snatch drops off each other :)

[Sheezo]

Yeah, there definitely wouldn't be any transfering of items, typically a moderator would choose a name prefix just seconds before the game starts, so you wouldn't have time to transfer anything.

[WarlockCC]

Well, Sheezo, set a date & time and see who signs up.
Preferably write the time in a GMT format.

As you stated(to clarify for others, correct me if I misunderstood), a moderator will choose a prefix, meaning you'll have to join the "waiting" game with a char and before you start the ironman, you'll have to make a new character with the prefix supplied, so you don't have time to transfer.
Not to mention it would be quite lame to cheat by transferring for such an event.

Hey,

I'm in for one of these "competions".

[FireMarshal]

Depending on when it is, I'd probably be in.

[Sheezo]

Great to see people are interested, tomorrow i'll write up a sign-up sheet including date/time/rules :thumbup:

[Sheezo]

bump for update.

[Fists of War]

Hmm, it seems that for me this'll be 1 in the morning. Not sure I want to be doing this that late (early) especially with work the next day.

[TraderScope]

This will be 4am here in Finland, I might be coming back from bar at the time or sleeping hmm..

[Sheezo]

hm, didn't realize so many were in non-usa timezones, what would be a more fair time fore veryone?

[fledgeling]

probably something between 12-21 gmt

[Fists of War]

around 8 AM to 1 PM gmt for me.

[Imortaldead]

i would like to play what relm you thinking of did not see that, i am one europe and still have one on east (shh) 12-1 west cost would work for get the gmt but it sounds like that is where your from ^^

[Imortaldead]

:tombstone: seems that Ironman does not happen for me :weep::hanky: give me ashout out if we get one together later

[jel]

These kind of events are just me, it can be done in 1 event, and not too much time is needed.

May I suggest a seperation between large time zones?

I'd also like to know some in game rules, I suppose that the first one to get an items gets it, no claiming, but I do also suppose we have to be partied and probably going to the areas together?

Finally what about tp's during game play, and pauses? I mean if one suddenly needs a break and tp's to town it can ruin everything as others may have set time out carefully planning, likewise if one falls behind then there might be some who reaches level 10 before others reaches level 9.

These things would be nice to get cleared up on.

When I've finished my 1.00 and 1.07 projects then I'm all in for this, I suppose 1 hour should be sufficient time for such an event? Maybe 1.5 if people get problems connecting?

Bump

I suppose there aren't many who're up for this kind of stuff, well anyway I suppose I won't be able as well for some weeks still, but I hope someone will see this and show some interests as I personally really like short events like these.
