1st Weekly Advantage Hunt Scheduled
« on: October 06, 2006, 04:25:43 AM »

OK...  Thank you Mits for speaking up... I agree w/ you and all of you for that matter as this has always been a concern of mine and the problem is we all talk about solutions, but nothing is ever done.  Well I am going to attempt to bring a change to this mentality and am willing to offer albeit for now a weekly solution to this dilemma.  Starting this Sunday I will call a Society Wide Announcement in chat for a "speed hof/global" (most loot wins type of hunt)  I'll keep the requirements simple and w/in the realm of where most of our members currently stand.

1st Weekly Advantage Hunt Requirements (Optional depending only upon the individual player)

Nearest TP:  Rei's Defense (Amethera)
Creature/Maturity:  Atrox (Young-Mature w/ the occasional Old & Provider)
Weapons(one or the other depending on YOUR highest professional standing):  Opalo + 103 or the TT Handgun equivalent +103
Total Ammunition:  5000 rounds (will usually last for a full a103 @ 3 rnds total per shot) ***after almost losing sleep last night this number may be cut to 2500... depending on the number of participants per team 2500 per person will last a long time up to an hour***
Armor Preferred:  Shogun, Knight or better and please try and fully repair it.  (I know we have some good FAP's /Fappers so we shouldn't have too much of a problem)

Rules of the Hunt:

Split into 2 teams of equal numbers.
We don't quit hunting the "designated" creature/area until every last round is spent.
I will need a 2nd Colonel for this so as to be the team leader of the other team.
Each member will also need 1 PED extra as this will go to your designated team leader.
As it will be in a team format of course equal money split and queued items, the team leaders will be primarily responsible for tallying all loots for their respective teams.  This includes ALL items.  Unless it is a complete blowout by one or the other obviously.  Upon completion of tallying ALL loots, the team leader of the lowest loot team will hand over his 1 PED collected fee to the winning team leader to then be divvied up amongst the winning team.

Please DO NOT feel intimidated by the rules or requirements.  The only one that is non-optional is the weapon and amount of ammo.  If you can not afford it, then come and watch and hunt a few trox of your own or mine around us.  Beyond the ammo and weapon, please feel free to come and "spectate."  This is open to all that have the aforementioned TP and care to be there.

And if this suggestion sounds inviting to you please feel free to reply ASAP and/or in game upon the announcement in-game. If need be there will be a third team so as to keep individual teams at or below 7 members and the Winner will receive the 2nd highest teams 1 PED and the 3rd place team will pay the 2nd place team.

I will try and have this started mid-day CST US or approximately 1700-1800 MA time.  There will not be a lot of down time.  From announcement of the event there will be 10 mins given to get ammo/repair and meet at Rei's.
The teams will then be divvied up within 5 minutes (trying to maintain an equal skill/armor/FAP base between teams)
After this is accomplished there will be one final Society announcement that the event is under way and we will begin.

Please feel free to respond to this w/ your thoughts and/or concerns.  I will address them as necessary. Hope to see you @ Rei's Defense Sunday @ High Noon or there abouts... LOL!!!

I will try to be on for this.  Hopefully I can pick up a Shogun Set by then.  I have mostly Rascal right now.  But the Ped from Recent Globals.. HoF.. needs to go to something. :)

Rascal should work just as well. 
Ty   Plates?  or bare armor.   Besides the amps.. sights?  or just gun and amp, bare. 

Unfortunately I will not be there as this is getting towards the end of motorcycle riding season (it was close to 0 deg C this morning on my ride to work).  We will be out of town Sunday.  Hope it goes well, and we should make it bi weekly event with different mobs each time.  There are a lot of mobs that we never seem to hunt.

Rascal should be fine yes, again w/ some decent fappers on hand it should be OK...
As far as the weps go w/ lasers & scopes, this is up to the player again if you choose to take the decay on said items then go for it... 
And with regards to plated armor, again it is up to the individual player and what kind of decay they feel most comfortable with....

I think for this 1st hunt we will only use 2500 rounds of ammo... If we can get at least 2 teams of 5 each then 2500 rounds on Atrox Youngs-Mature will last us close to a full hours worth of hunting.  That and for some of us it will be more affordable to come and participate as opposed to spectating.

Hey ripper long time no see...
My post was a suggestion for us to start having some fun as a society in response to this..

http://www.euadvantage.com/forum/index. ... 430.0.html

Maybe one day we will go to a PVP ring and/or area and practice PVP on each other so as not to look like the primarily large group of unexperienced Pk'ers that most of us are. 

There will be bigger and more fun hunts and events in the future...

In the future? The future has passed, long time ago, Ty. I'm sorry for beeing blunt, but this is a fact. Guys, I love you all, but a soc is not solely for socialising, I can get that on my street. I want to kill, rule, learn!! Don't you? This is a game, not a tea club!! Stop recruiting, kick 99 of the worst (latest, or what ever, 140 is far to much) members, get together and get some respect out there!! I thought 'Advantage' was going to give me that, but I was wrong. A 'hunt' won't do...far from it! I want some real action!!


EDIT: But, then again, who am I to whine about this? I'm not even a member of the society!

I think it would be very fun to go into PVP3 some day,
or only go to one of the other pvp areas, and the one that get the most kills, wins.
Without armor, of course.  :D

Hello soc!

Firstly i want to thank Ty for making the 1st soc event true :) Secondly i want to thank everyone that attended to this soc event last night!
I belonged to the defeated team but we had fun :) Gratz to the Winner team and its leader Buxxy!!! :):):)

We infact need MUCH more team work to make this teams work correctly, in both team play and personal avatar care (i was also uncareaful regading my health status, sorry for that)! Lets keep on working on that as also i would love having more ppl attending to this events :) But i believe it will happen eventually :)

Main Subject now:

This is a suggestion to the soc leader (now its to you Buxxy) and to all the leading members like Ty :)

Lets have an event, gathering as many soc members possible (i hope more than 12), if more than 12 making two groups with 2 leaders. We will go like last night hunting in a place of the leaders choice depending on number of participants. settings will be leader takes all and equal to money. then we go hunt without to care if the mob i'm killing belongs to the other group. this is due to the fact that after the hunt we will give all loot (including peds) to the leader and then after they have gathered all loot they will split them equally to the participants.
Of course we will all have the same weapon amped or not, and same amount of ammo to spend.

Now why should we have such a big group! There are many reasons for that.
Firstly based on the FACT that loot is not based on skills but in luck then statistically the more mobs we kill the more chances to hit a Global or HOF we have! Even if some believe that skills do matter then we will be killing more mobs for the most skilled person to loot.
2nd even if one player revives then there is not much of a lost in the time he needs to get back to the group. Its a small 5% if 20ppl in group.
3rd since we are 2 or 3 big groups we can hunt other places and check for loot. Even if we are in the same area we can split in to different ways. One heading NE other NW. cover a larger area to hunt!
4th since we are too many ppl the mob will hit us less, so not many decay in armor.
5th since again we are too many ppl we can kill bigger mobs with smaller weapons ( Like Arghs Unamped opalo hunt) so less expenses.
6th even new members can attend since we have small weapons requirements, and help them get some skills :).

Now i know that this will need alot of organization from leaders and members to keep everyone alive during hunt as also to be able to shoot mobs with less missing shots or not shooting others... but I believe that we need to start this!

All suggestions and questions are welcome to discuss :):):) Plz we need your feedback on this!

Thank you for your time!!!


PS.
I have seen and participated in a team hunt with 24 ppl killing atrox old alpha and araneatrox guardians EASYLY with everyone having opalo+amp103 and NO ARMOR! what do you need an armor when they can hit you with 350 hit wearing a shogun full repaired? Many have revived but they came back and continue fighting while others were reviving and .... BIG CIRCLE OF HUNTING!
RESULT: within 30mins hunting and 3k ammo spend each, i cannot say how many mobs were killed... but we had 2 Globs(150, 180) and 1 HOF (1817), many small loots and many many many NL ! At least we got 110peds each, REALLY MUCH FUN and many skills!
(Argh you remember that guy in the oupost of PVP2 with the power fist hunting????)

Mitsos you are a genius...  I love the idea... and due to the planning involved lets make this our week 4 event as I'm looking at a big gun/critter hunt for week 2 and a possible PVP tournament for week 3... Maybe if everyone will agree to it we can do this upcoming big Trax hunt w/ the format suggested above...
