Hello guys, I have thought of an event that I believe can be pretty fun if done right. It's a little team vs team PK event. Something that can be held once in a while (every week perhaps) and facilitated by a GM (of course) to make sure things go smoothly. A 6-man Party vs another 6-man Party duel-like game in a chosen PVP map. Where the first team to get wiped out entirely loses. And the last team standing, wins!

Please read on~
It can be held for 2 categories, Winged category (for those equipped with wings - any level) and the Wingless category. Prizes don't have to be too much, but should be something worth it and special. The prize should also be better and more speical for the winged category compared to the wingless. A few rare weapon/gears/accessories perhaps and a good recognition in the forums? A boss spawn of their choice, maybe? Or even special limited edition weapon/relic/accessory. Anything great enough to motivate people to continue participating but not too much that's going to inflate the items in-game.
To make things run nicely and easily for the GM. People must mail the GM their team name, category and roster (e.g. The Ultra Nuclear Super Cool Porn Watchmen - wingless category) along with the IGN of their teamates at a given time. The GM will call upon the 2 leaders to who are gonna be matched via PM to go to a designated area in a pvp map preferably far from the given map's portal (to make sure the rest of the server won't follow and cause freakish lag) and give them perhaps 10 minutes or so to be there or be eliminated to make sure no boring delays happen. The teams will assemble in the area and will wait for the GM's go before they start hitting each other. Anyone outside the given party will enter the map at their own risk, they will be left open to PK (from other players or even the GM if they annoy him)
Anyone who talks trash via megaphone (or any form of chat), annoy the GM/waste his time with complaints and anyone outside the fighting party giving assistance to the matched teams will be kicked harshly so that no unnecessary drama and things wouldn't be ruined. Any form of cheating found like logging in & out to save himself from near death (if dc-ed, the player will then have to sit it out the rest of the match -- if he continues to assist after logging back in, they're eliminated), reviving on the spot without being resurrected by a healer auto-eliminates the team. The GM can give an invisible boundary for the match for example (using Spirit's Shelter) Cactus area only. Anyone who runs way beyond that boundary like going in the middle of Crura's area will auto-eliminate the team. The GM will also post the accepted rules here in the forums (if ever this event goes thru), and don't have to explain it again and again in-game so the event wont be delayed. If anyone pleads ignorant to the rules, then its their fault.
After the GM collects the mail of the teams who wants to join, a maximum of 8 teams (or more if necessary) for each category can be good enough so that the event wont take a day, late comers will have to try to be on time next time. If you have wings then you are bound to play with the winged category. Removing wings to join the wingless category is not allowed to avoid any complaints. The teams will be then randomly set up by the gm to form a tournament pattern. like this:
team 1
vs --------------
team 8 \ winner of 1 vs 8
------------------------------- / vs
team 2 -------------- winner of 2 vs 7
vs
team 7
---------------------------------------------------------------------- (and so on, lol dont expect me to finish this little figure.)
team 3
vs --------------
team 6 \ winner of 3 vs 6
--------------------------------/ vs
team 4 --------------- winner of 4 vs 5
vs
team 5
If less teams join (judging by how most people are afraid of PK and FUN and prefer afking) then it can be adjusted. A wild card team can be applied if the number of teams isn't even (for e.g. only 5 teams, the lucky wild card team will have to wait till there's 2 teams left, so they can join and settle for a 3-team free for all. If 4 teams (or 2) joins --- /sadface --- then the tournament goes on and follow the pattern. Hopefully the prizes are neat enough lol. The line up you join in with round 1 will have to be your line up till the finals. No substitution allowed to see to it that no one complains. If you're line up fails, there's always a next time to improve.
I prefer it as a 6-man party vs 6-man party for it is much easier to monitor. More versatility when it comes to line ups. We don't want people complaining about heavy lag or people abusing logging-out and in to save themselves which is probably gonna happen if not given attention and will be hard to watch out for in a raid vs raid. If the party isn't complete in time, the match starts with who you have in the party. If one or two of the teamates aren't present at the start of the match then they are not allowed to join in late and will have to wait for the next round if their team manages to get past it.
This will be fun cause people in iris can start creating different line ups to see which combinations are the best for championship recognition. This can spice things up a little bit and will at least make people think of ways to unite as a party and create strategies to win. Making combination line ups and etc. sounds fun, right? There's a ton of full-geared people in the game so i doubt that there'd be any imbalance issues. It can be held nicely too if everyone will cooperate and just focus on the match instead of politics. lol
But this is only a suggestion for now, I need your support if we want to make this happen. Any thoughts, suggestions and criticism about the idea are always welcome. Any stupid, ignorant, offensive, idiotic, and etc. remarks will not be entertained.
