Gday New and Noobed!

So you just hit planetside and found that sweating isnt much fun when trying to make a living, begging is a morale killer and wandering around listening to chatter around the cities and camps is worse than twitter on a pager...so what now?

Give up? Quit? Cry?


NO!


Bagmans fiendishly clever mind has come to the party for noobs.....

LOST IN TRANSPORTATION

I will become lost in the toxic wastelands to the NW of Port Atlantis (Yellow Zone) and will transmit a distress signal in the forum nearer the time (starts August between the 6th and the 9th) and in game when in the zone.

Any player may venture in and brave the creatures that dwell amongst the strange and wild landscape however the first person to find me must add me as a member of their team...check on how to make a team and add other players to it. Anyone who wants to rescue me will need to make the team name.."BAGMANS SAVIOUR" and once I have joined the team I will place my avatar on FOLLOW. If my saviour is killed trying to lead me out of the toxic wasteland by creature or is hijacked by another player and killed then they will have to form a team with the same name and do the same....make it out of the yellow zone with me on follow. I will continue to drop a team if my saviour is killed and follow the next saviour and so on.


The aim of this game/skill based test is to assist you in evading other players, using map cocords, avoid/killing creatures/players if you possess weapons or using tactics to make it out alive and unharmed. Before someone in authority places this in the event threads I have placed it here to allow noobs to read it mainly rather than more experienced players. I will scan players and will set a benchmark/cutoff in my opinion when noob is no longer noob...more to follow on that soon.

I will be donating prizes to those who give it a go and a special prize for the one who gets me over the yellow arc-line.

I will post more info and answer questions as time passes.


Its a simple game so please dont get hung up on questions on vague possibilities and what ifs..... simply find me, add me to your team with team name specified and run like hell with me following and make it out of the zone.....VERY SIMPLE....oh and I will throw in a curveball during the actual rescue! So be ready!

So keep skilling and watch the calendar and watch for more news....


Your friend...

BAGS :D
 
Gday All,

To start with....Thanks Jam !!

I am crafting some armour above the normal base levels and hope to have it finished to giveaway as prizes, also a weapon.

The other logistic Im working on is whether I can manage a couple of mini games rather than one so that more noobs get to play.

Im on a crappy wireless connection but have arranged a couple of nights with a friend to 'borrow' some net time.

If you feel like this is something that u all want then speak up or I will shelve the idea for another time....

All the best for you struggling out there!

Bags ;)
 
nice initiative

i just wish MA have the same thinking , eu will be a whole different place ;)


good luck
 
Once again Bags comes up with another great idea to get new players involved and realising that there is more to do in EU than just sweating for 6 months...:yay:

Well done Bags... it sounds like you all should have some fun...;)

Cheers, Nobleone :beerchug:
 
This event sounds cool. Looking forward to it.
PS Which players do u consider noobs and is a disciple still considered a noob ?
 
Nice "event" for noobs.

Too bad only noobs available on a similar timezone as you will probably benefit the most from what you are doing.

Maybe MA can get the hint and do similar mini events as well.

:yay:
 
Gday All

I play around the clock when I do get on so I will be doing one night and one day game in the period...just trying to convince my friend to stay up and allow me to crash but should be ok.

Bags ;)
 
Nice event man. ;) Sounds like fun.

Maybe you could post a few screenies after. :D

+rep
 
Great idea, this will actually get me away from sweat camp for a day or two! :yay:
 
Oooh :D,

Nice game bagman!

Can i be one of the creatures the players must kill/avoid also? :D

Bagman always makes things fun for noobs, even me when i started back in 2006, was it not for him and my mentor Alice, i'd probably not be here today, so i gladly support anything you organize, i'd even be willing to give some stuff as prizes to help.
 
Gday All

So...I will be posting 4 times for over this weekend to attend the event very shortly (in the next 6 hrs or so)...stay tuned!

Bags ;)
 
Gday All,

Sorry for the apparent late reply...drinks after work got a little larger than they were supposed to...

Anyways,

I have finalised the prizes and these will be a mix of items and ped to the value of 40ped each over 4 time slots.

SUMMARY
Again the idea is to navigate as a noob through the no-mans (or womans) land NW of Port Atlantis and search for me....from time to time I will transmit an SOS signal. You need to set up a team (with the correct team name!!!), invite me to join and then lead me out of the zone (I will follow). If i die (I will not be armed) by beast or other colonist then we start over again. My TP chip was damaged so I will not return to the same location twice.

The person who leads me out will win the prizes. :D

At the time of posting the following time across our universe is:

SATURDAY 8th Aug 2009
Australia 11:08AM GMT 01:08AM



THE SEARCH AND RESCUE will be around the following times....

Rescue 1:

Rescue 2:

EXTRA RESCUE:
Sunday 9th Aug 2009
Australia 10:00AM GMT 12:00PM (Midnight)* (* Still Sat 8th 2009 for those in GMT)
NO RESCUE - 40 PED RETAINED

Rescue 4:

Ah, the old cut and paste trick....yeah my bad and thanks for picking that up. :ahh:

No one has found me in the zone yet...i picked the easiest landmark....oh well I will give it another 10 mins before rescuing myself....:rolleyes:
Thanks again.

40 ped for noobs went begging...:(

Gday All

5 Minutes ladies and gents and then I head back to PA.

If anyone hits the radar in time I will allow the rescue to continue.

Bags :D
 
Sounds like a fun contest, dunno if I still qualify as a noob though :D. It would be good if you could announce the cutoff. Regardless, it's generous of you to set it up. Hope somebody pops in tonight ;).
 
Gday All,

Im in need of rescue after James Anzak Arden made a valiant attempt to rescue me but failed to guard my life.

INSERT PICS HERE

I am still lost in the PVP zone somewhere NW of Port Atlantis, rescue will be have been determined to have failed by GMT (MA) time of 15:15hrs on Sat 8th Aug 2009 if not found. Im in the zone and 40 ped goes to my noob rescuer!

I dare not move for my ammo is low and health lower, find me and get me out of this wretched place!


Bags :D

Im coming
Hold on tight :D
 
really good event bagman cheers

i found him again but then i died again :) coming for you tommorow bagman! i also got my 2nd global on the run and i gained marksmanship so thats really good :)
 
My teammate Ashley saw you but forgot to see the position lol
Are you still there?
 
that zone is really hard for us newcomers :)
 
Gday All,

Seems people are checking the obvious places inside the zone and forgetting that this wasnt meant to be a quick run in and collect the prize.

Anzak will attest to the skill required to evade and dodge those inside and lead a helpless person out. These rescues are supposed to give your basic evade, map read, team, tactics and maybe weapon skills a try out with a purpose in mind.

BTW I added another TIMESLOT!!!!

Bags :wtg:
 
very cool... hopefully you are all aware of who lurks within pvp1 :vampire:

Better be packing vaccines if you wander into pvp 1 to rescue bagman... or just may catch a virus first!
 
Transmission before power loss:

>>>>LOST SOMEWHERE IN THE ZONE NORTH-WEST OF THE PORT ATLANTIS....HELP!>>>>
 
Transmission:

>>>> I have around 10 minutes left on my power cells, please hurry....>>>>
 
still there?
 
Gday All,

I am having some technical difficulties getting in - keep getting D2D.

I therefore will postpone the last rescue to around 1-2 pm GMT Time and 11pm Australian....a friend is heading over to sort out issue.

My apologies

Oh and last rescue will be worth 50 ped to the noob rescuer!
