View Full Version : Rabbit Hunt - 500 geos!!!

I have some ideas for some games I want to run.
This is going to be a trial run, very simple. Start here, see how it goes, and grow from there. I hope to begin running these games regularly.

So, this game is called Rabbit Hunt.

There is an army on the field called "Rabbit", this would be the target.
"Rabbit" is a 100 man army.
"Rabbit" is travelling a predetermined path using selected home bases as waypoints.
HINT: There will be an emergent pattern. The path will be cyclical.
The object is to kill the rabbit.
The person that kills the rabbit wins.

Entry for this round is free. I may change this in the future if people like the game, to allow for a bigger pot to be given out. Possibly even betting, baby steps ;)
This one's a freebe though, so enjoy :)

HOWEVER, you MUST pm me to participate.
You can NOT win if you do not pm me.

Should someone kill the rabbit that is not signed up for the round, a new rabbit will be released. Please, if you're not playing, don't kill the rabbit!

To keep it simple and easily manageable for this first run, it will be played out entirely in North America today.

The prize I am putting up for the winner of this first round is 500 geos.


The rabbit is already on the field, so pm me to get in and let the hunt begin!!!


PS: Even though No members of RCMP or RCMP Recon are involved in this game in any way, at least for this round to ensure no one has any cause to call foul, no RCMP members will be eligible to play.

Is this rabbit controlled by a human or a script. If the latter, then it may be a violation of the game rules.

Human. There is no way to script this really, well, I could I guess, but wouldn't anyways.

Just wanted to be sure because when you sayd "predetermined path"... anyway. :)
Thanks for the answer..

We have our first taker!

You don't want to let one person just walk away with 500 geos do you? Come on down!

My first taker poses a good question: Can players hit other players armies that are playing.

My answer is I can not stop that kind of thing. But as well, I will not post the list of players until _after_ the round is finished.

Do whatever it takes, there is a war going on out there after alll!

What I mean is the list of waypoints is predetermined and posted prior to round start. No, not posted anywhere public, just somewhere where it can be pulled from if there is any question of manipulation. You'll see as the game progresses that there is indeed a predetermined path that is repeated, so it should be obvious that there is no manipulation going on.

I've never used the nukular option, so I really don't know if it works against a home base. But I really dislike rabbits?

so I have to ask those that have used it.. Does it work against rabbits.. err. does it work against home bases?

No actually, you can't nuke homebases, so you'll just have to do it the old fashioned way :)

The Rabbit had a close call outside of Yankers home base, but managed to find a hole to duck into at the last second. Watch your step hunters, there's a wee pile of pellets sitting there now ;)

Um, how's that? The rabbit is very much alive indeed! It was a close call at Yankers home base, but the rabbit got away in the nick of time!

Word from the field is that the rabbit has just pulled through the homebase of VWGU slightly ahead of the hunters ;)

We've got 10 hunters on the field now! That rabbit's running scared! Let's get some more people involved and really turn up the heat on him!

Edit: Make that 11 hunters!

In the future, yes.
I'm thinking about running bigger more long term games that travel the whole world to be able to get everyone involved. Plus some other variations so there can be more than one winner, possibly betting even, we'll see :)

The rabbit had another close call at the home base of sgibbers17, Hunters all around he bolted left, and he bolted right, then straight off like a shot through the hunters legs! I hope there were no 'hunting accidents' involved ;)

12 players! I want to see more out there!

Edit: 14 now, we're getting there! Poor poor little rabbit, whatever did he do to deserve this?

How would people feel about paying for this hunt and others in other continents.

How much would you pay? 10, 15, 20, 25 or 50 Geos?
An idea WT and I are discussing is as many as 3 rabbits at once. (India, Europe, North America)

I'm inclinded to 20 Geos per rabbit hunt (IE. 60 to get all three rabbit hunts) that way we'll get some of the 500 per rabbit back. If its over the prize we'll probally up the Prize money.

Comments?

With 14 hunters in the chase, and a number of them hot on the trail, the rabbit has pulled through the homebase of chux52 unscathed!

Where's he off to now?
More importantly, after that?
nudge nudge, wink wink :)

i would be willing to pay anything from 10 - 150 geos for this game (if in europe) :D

That darned rabbit got away again!

Looks like he got an extra spurt of energy when he saw he was coming back around to the start of the course. He can't keep up this pace for much longer I'm sure!


Edit: 15 hunters out there now!
Edit: 16 now, poor rabbit doesn't stand a chance does he?
Edit: 17, they're just rolling in! Way to go!
