[LVS] Rocket Wars

[ABParadigm]

We're going to be having a game of Rocket Wars on LVS on Wednesday May 20th, 2020, at 7:00 PM BST. If you'd like to come, please reply to this thread below, so we know how much food and how many crossbows to bring. We'll be making enough rockets hopefully for this event, as well as future events, so we can host more of these in the future!

Rocket wars is an event where you quite simply try to PvP with firework rockets and crossbows. To utilize crossbows in this way, you must place the firework rocket(s) in your off hand, and load the crossbow with the rocket that way. Then, you fire the rocket - which has a fairly straight trajectory - into opponents to try to create some glorious murder. Two shots and you're dead!

This event will consist of five rounds of gameplay. The rules are simple: Gear up at spawn, then go into the nether, and when it's time to start, try to murder everyone you see! There will be a short grace period between the time players enter the nether, and when the round officially starts. If you die, you're out of that round! The last man alive in the nether hub is deemed the winner of that round, and will be given a stack of gold blocks. You can even win multiple rounds! Don't worry, for attending the event you will receive a stack of gold ingots too!

I'd like to hear your thoughts and opinions on this event, as we figure out some more details. Would you like to see armor in chests here and there, would multi-shot or quick charge crossbows sound good to you? Do you want to be able to regen with food? We can make each round slightly different, with different crossbows and different food sources - just please let me know what you think. Currently the plan is to use default crossbows, a very weak food source (carrots, fish? TBD), and no armor for every round.

More details have been decided! Prizes included! Please let me know if you're going to come!

Don't do multishot with high star count crossbows, it turns them into something that'll paralyze people with lag. I wouldn't be surprised if this could end up crashing people with weaker computers.

I'd say no to loot chests as it'd distract from the main affair of murdering and avoiding being murdered.

I'm in

And I say yes to hidden barrels inside the hub.

[ABParadigm]

Good shout Dax, something I hadn't considered was the lag factor. As for hidden barrels, since there are so many chests in the hub I think it'd be safer to just not do that. I may bring some armor and change up the rounds, say some blast protection armor for one round, or maybe a more robust food source or potions to help with regeneration. Maybe even a speed round, where you can't regen at all. The goal will be the same though, kill everyone until you're the last one standing.

Rocket wars is THIS WEDNESDAY at 7:00 PM BST! Hope to see you all there!

Hiya! After a suggestion by Dax we will be having a 6th round of rocket wars, which will be a bit different than the rest. This round will be a free-for-all, with me running around in full protection diamond armor, with a shulker box full of very explosive goodies on me. If you die, unlike the other rounds, you will be permitted to go back into the hub. The goal for round 6 is to kill me, grab my corpse, and run back into spawn with it. If you're the first at spawn with the box, you can keep it! Note, my armor and crossbows will also be enchanted with curse of vanishing.

An addition to the rules, as well, is that each round will go for a maximum of 15 minutes. If the round goes any further, and people are deciding to hide, I will be going in and poking people with my own rockets in hopes of getting them out of hiding. Hope to see you all there!
