    Oil up the guns and polish the swords,
    tighten the whips and ready mindforce.
    It's an event as common as blue,
    but perhaps today you'll want to join too.

    Date/Time:
    Saturday August 10; 20:00 - 20:30 MA Time
    Location:
    Arkadia Event Area #2
    Mobs:
    Caraboks & Gallards
    Entry Fee:
    0.50 peds

    Prizes for the Top 3 Highest Single Loots

    First: 25 peds
    Second: 15 peds
    Third: 10 peds

    Event is open to everyone. Please register in-game if interested.

    Be gentle. ;) First time for me hosting an event. Last few that I've seen have had good turn-outs (20-30 people), and I'm hoping the somewhat higher prizes will incite even more people to show up.

    Three days left! Only three registrants so far (who are all secretly hoping no others sign up so that they are guaranteed a prize :p).

    The event system does it for you, for any mobs spawned, killed and looted inside the event area boundaries.

    Thanks Medeina for the event, was fun!




    ..and sorry if I was confusing anybody with "the New math" in calculating Highest Single loot. I was not very clear.


    What I was trying to say: for the first mob you may get some points (say 55), the points are calculated from the loot you get on that single mob. The next time you get points it only states additional points if loot on a single mob is higher than the single mob that gave you the 55 points. That's why you may get smaller amount of points as the event goes by ..lol, not sure that made anyone wiser, but it made sense than in my own weird mind..

    T'was my pleasure. And thank you as well, Raven. :)

    That makes sense now that I've read it a couple of times. Was a bit confused earlier in chat. Though it still doesn't really make sense in how it works. If you get 55, then 72, why not just show 72? I don't think Snow understood as well, hence all the confusion and me starting to question whether I made a mistake setting up the prize pool. Seems like a sign for me to participate in a few events, to have first-hand experience in how things work on that end. ;)

    -----------------

    Event went well. 33 people signed up, though I didn't see a few (but our paths may not have crossed while I was running around checking on things and trying to force-feed a few ped into the mobs).

    I got a goodly amount of feedback (thanks!), learned some basics of how the event system works, and everyone seemed to have a good time. Looking forward to hosting another, and better, event down the road.

    Toplist
    1) Mr Adam Glenton
    2) Goran GOgiran Ristic
    3) Venom The Viscous
    4) Maxi Marzi Red
    5) Kent OZtwo OpaloMan
    6) Shy Less DarkLight
    7) dragos dsillion silion
    8) Arpil Raven Phoenix
    9) Im LittleWendy You
    10) Prototype Hunter Legenda

    Many thanks again for everyone that came, and especially those that gave me feedback!

    I agree with you Medeina, it' would make more sense to see the "total" points for every new HSL that you get, not just the improved/additional points.

    Here's a link to a great guide. It's very informative and will probalby explain any event question anyone could have. Ty Oleg :)
    Olegs Event System Guide


    So, his short and simple info on HSL is:

    "Highest Single Loot Wins: Points are only awarded for your biggest kill, again at a rate of 1 point per pec. Players can only improve their points by killing a mob with more loot than their previous best. The player who gets the highest loot from a single mob wins."
