Hunger Games Hourly Event

Updated Top Post!

 

maybe also do a event (maybe make it weekly or daily)
with 2 people of every town and then this event

 

Me Freaking Gusta

 

That was fun... except i blew up at the beginning... i guess jumping was a bad idea

 

I never claimed that the idea was original. Not once. The idea has been around for a very long time, even before the hunger games. Just because it's not original does not mean it can't be fun.

The fun of this game is not "killing" one another (I put that in quotes because it's not killing) just as it was not fun in the story. The fun part is finding a friend who you can team up with to try to find food, and survive. Maybe you may run into someone and you might just have to "kill" them, but hey, that's part of the game. And no, kids do not think it's normal to kill because we do not equate sending a player back to spawn and taking their items to be killing. Murder does not once cross my mind while playing Minecraft. I'm quite sure it doesn't cross anyone else's either.

And as for the "Organizing" issue, the game would be automatically organized by a plugin. The way it is now is a simple signup and random choosing of players. Quick and easy. No "organizing" to be done.

 

I put killing in quotes because of this:
death/deTH/

Noun:

1. The action or fact of dying or being killed; the end of the life of a person or organism.

The reason I quoted this definition is because on Deity's server, when you are "Killed" you simply respawn. No lives are being ended, therefore death is not occuring, therefore there is no "killing".

ZangetsuMC and I spent several hours last night experimenting on other hunger games servers. Multiple times we found ourselves the last two to survive. We both stacked up on the best armour we could find and then met for a 1 on 1 match. Zangetsu and I found this to be extremely fun! I do agree with you that there is no fun in killing. By killing I mean the exact definition of what killing is i.e. The ending of life. However, in most games, you aren't out of the game forever if you die once, so it's okay to defeat opponents IMO.

I don't understand entirely what you meant here so correct me if I'm wrong. I want this game to be fun for all, so if you feel that it's unfair for Europeans because of timezones, then perhaps the game could be every 12 hours? I'm not sure, suggest a solution.

As for the issue about the plugin, I was telling you about the automation of the games because I thought you were concerned about the "organizing" of it. I only just now realized you meant the fact that it'd be less fun if it was daily. And so in response to that, it's really a matter of opinion. Zangetsu and I spent many hours playing hunger games back-to-back. Neither of us felt that the frequency of the events ruined the fun.

 

I have heard of them. A lot of people talk about them on diff servers and whipser me that i should join if i really like it. i would like to try it out

 

On the note of 1 hour limit, some people may have lag and might not be able to collect nessecary resources, but I love your idea and I hope it isn't passed over as a common request for every server!

 

Well I got to test this event out, and it was pretty fun... I don't know if my ideas matter but as for suggestions and things I'd like to see, well, different maps and biomes would be pretty neat, such as the jungle biome... I could imagine climbing up real high on those huge trees and 'vining' your way around the map... Maybe even an underground map with the threat of magma and leg-shattering drops, and/or near total darkness... Perhaps some mobs could be added, like cows if you're desperate for leather armor and food if you get hungry from sprinting... But whatever the final product is, I'm sure this will be a very popular event, and I'll be playing quite a bit... (Oh and one more idea, maybe disable player names being shown above everyone while in the event, or just have them appear when very close... That may make the game too long depending on the map though, so, yea, it's just another thought...)

 

I think we're looking at ways to force combat and have the event not be drawn out forever. Many die in the first few moments, but we don't want five people playing hide and go seek for 30 minutes.

 

Well, it would depend on how often these events are going to be held. If it's one every hour then I can see why it shouldn't be dragged on.. however if it's one every once in awhile, then I don't see a problem with them dragging on. Unless I'm missing something?

 

Hmm ways to force combat? Well maybe the map could slowly destroy itself from the outer area into the inner when a certain amount of players are left, if that's possible... Or if player kills aren't entirely necessary, add aggressive mobs as the player count gets lower and lower, maybe break away land that creates a ravine that leads down into a fiery hot pool of death... o.o But I agree with Kassial, if these events are going to be rare, I think they should be somewhat long...

 

You're completely right, and I agree Kassial. I don't think you're missing anything besides ImDeity deciding on the schedule.

Player kills aren't entirely necessary... and aggressive mobs do exist when night falls. Also, there's no cap to how many spawn, so it gets real dirty, real quick.

 

I think that it could be once weekly or biweekly so that it stays special, and the games can be way more intense, with the need to hide and things like that....

 

i like that it is often. we had a hard time a little bit ago getting the 24 people to sign up lol
there was around 38 people online

 

i think once you enter your little podium thing, it should wait just a little longer before the games to begin so the world loads a little? Maybe just me
