New Event at Catronain Archipelago Friday 12.30 PM

Post by Trouble Ahead »

An Exciting New Event:

CATCH THE SMUGGLER'S BOOTY!

Legend has it that some old, forgetful smugglers, after one too many drinks, left their precious treasures scattered across various islands. Now, the question is: who will be the cleverest and quickest to uncover them all?

What You’ll Need:

A Niitti gunboat, SPD or Statenjacht
A kayaker’s magical blunderbuss
A Magic Meter 1.2
A map of Catronian Archipelago for navigation.
All is provided at landing point, at the docks and given in group: but new ones will get what they need at the start of the event.
Those who don't have a ship: they can use a ships rezzer.

How It Works:

The game involves 5 islands, each with a hidden treasure chest.
The names of the islands will be revealed on the day of the event.
Event Details:

-All players gather at the docks in Port Hope. A rezzer is available to summon Statenjachts.
-Each player must wear their Magic Meter and carry their blunderbuss before starting.
-The Battle Coordinator will announce the names of the 5 islands where treasures are hidden.
-The treasure chests will be placed on the docks of those islands, making them easy to spot.
-Players must race in their sail boats to find the islands and chests and claim the gold by clicking on them. Once the gold is claimed, the chest is empty for other players.
-Players must navigate their own routes to the islands, aiming to be the fastest.
-Players can sink their competitors’ boats during the race. Those who sink are eliminated from the game.
-Captains can shoot at each other with the blunderbuss too. A hit captain needs to wait for healing..
-Onshore, players can engage in combat with blunderbuss . Captains who are hit must wait until they heal before continuing to search for treasures.
-The winner is the player who collects the most gold. Winners must return to the docks ( by ship) after the event to finalize their victory.

Strategy Tips:

Will you prioritize speed and head straight for the islands? Team up with others to cover more ground? Or focus on sinking your competitors at sea and onshore? The possibilities are endless—choose your strategy wisely!

Additional Notes:

We’re still testing whether 5 islands are ideal or if more (or fewer) would work better. This will depend on how the event plays out.
Players with slower connections can opt to be passengers, focusing on finding treasure and engaging in combat instead of sailing.
The Niitti boat is recommended for players looking for a low-lag option. We will provide this ship when needed, but captains can chose for every other ship.. as long as it is SPD scripted. ( it needs to be sinkable).

Summary:

-Gather at the battle docks.
-Rez a boat and prepare for the adventure.
-Make sure to equip your blunderbuss and Magic Meter before starting.
-The Battle Coordinator will announce the island names twice, giving helpful hints to guide players.
-Race to the islands, claim treasure, and engage in combat to secure your place at the top.
- Captains can sink ships , but .. also can shoot others with the blunderbus during sailing !! (This has been tested)
-Return to the docks by ship once someone declares they’ve collected all the gold, or when all chests are empty, or when all other captains are on the bottom of the sea :) We will count the rezzed coins on the docks to decide who is winner.

So how did this work out? The silly captains started to shoot each other before the event even started! There were 5 players in the beginning, then 3 ships finally started the exploration, one ship with a passenger. Surprisingly the passenger ( Snoots Dwagon) navigated well to all the chests and got 4 out of 5, while Port Celyddons captain Till brought one coin to the dock.
Apparently no one of the captains decided to hunt the others instead of searching the booty, all were blinded to find as much as possible, but they better had sunk the ship with the passenger!
Conclusion: this was fun, it brings it all : for the competitive ones , for the ones that like a hunt, and for the ones who like cruising around as a passenger ( and picking the gold unexpectedly)

To be continued, check out group notes!
