Well I know snk works on era but would it be possible if he could help out a little on classic? (for the events system) if he can though, cause we know sometimes his is busy like hell

Uh that's not my call at all.

My Idea: Tennis!

Two players start off on each side of the court with a net in the middle. The each have a tennis racket, the server hits the ball over like normal tennis and you press a button to hit it back. You can bet money for this. Once the server hits the ball just try to keep the ball in court. ;)

To Score Points:

If you hit it over to the other side and they miss the ball you score a point which will be displayed at the top of the screen.
If you hit it outside the court the other team scores a point.

Era's events system could be a lot better IMO. I'd prefer something different.

Better than nothing, and always room for improvement.

And if the system really is already scripted, but not used, why not hire somebody to use it? If you don't start, how is it ever gonna get done? We don't need 40 GPs, we need some ETs.

There are no events developed for use with the system...

It's been on dev for a while but no one with enough know-how has had time to create the actual events for it.

Using the system is one thing but creating quality Classic (automated) events will be the hard and time-consuming part.

I'd be glad to help out with that.

For the events, just think about what they did in medieval times for fun. Paintball seems more Era, sorry. Classic should have horse races, jousting, arrow targets while on horseback or something similar, javelin throwing, shot put, war like guild spar, kind of like a tournament but you challenge other guilds to a guild spar in order to claim a guild wars tower. And I think this events should be in different build ins, not unified in an event building cuz there are way too many unused buildings. Put them to use. They say "not enough people to create the levels, etc" when there are already many levels that are pointless, just add some scripts to them, heck some of those events could be done in 5-10 minutes. Could add about 10 updates to Graal in that day.

So, we all know deep in our hearts we would love to have an events system, with an events team of staff to host games for people to play. This is fun for both players and the staff! However, I'm sure we can't just jump into systems like this, there are lots of planning to be done first. To this day, the system, along with a few ideas for events, has been brought up many times by many people, and it remains a hot topic. I see future in this topic.

Even on Graalians alone, many players have come across many ideas for events. However, who will make up the events in the end, and what will they look like? In this thread, post ideas for an event. You should include both a list of rules and a level or picture of a level to play the event. If you aren't LAT (like me) and want to make a level, take a picture on Graal and use a photo editor to copy and paste tiles into your custom level.

Thing you may want to include:

Traps, obstacles, even decorations.
Smaller, similar levels for rounds 2, 3, etc.
Special elements like lava, ice, grass, etc.
Adaptable for iPhone OR Facebook client.

Post your ideas! Don't be afraid if it isn't perfect, we all make mistakes, and not everyone is an artist.

To start off, I'll post paintball. Simple level I whipped up real quick, players are divided into red and blue teams. Using only arrows, players will shoot the opposing team members until everyone on a team is hit. Start off with 0.5 health so one hit will kill you. Once dead, you will go into an observer area. (Which I forgot to add, and am too lazy to right now. x_X) Winning team gets a prize. Also, a timer would be used so people cannot wait it out. When timer goes up, it is a draw and nobody wins. The game is then restarted. If you run out of arrows, you should rely on teammates to protect you! Sound fun?

Did u make that level with level editor or copy and paste in paint? Cuz I can't find those Walls tiles anywhere.

been needing them so badly.

Copy and pasted into GIMP, I don't have level editor... I'm not LAT, just a person trying to help out lol.

That's what I meant someone should definitely work on making events for us to use. We have the system, but no events to host, or people to host it...
