event Don't Starve Together: Hunger Games

[Cunning fox]

Hunger Games Rules:

The rules of the Hunger Games are quite simple. The last survived player (or two of them IF THEY АRE IN THE SAME DISTRICT) is/are the winner(-s). You can do everything while playing. Building, destroying, killing, lying, betraying, whatever. The only thing is forbidden in Hunger Games is cheating and flame in chat.

Hunger Games features:

·         You can enter the game only in first 8 days of the game.

·         No way to revive

·         Antileaving system (players drop everything when leave)

·         Structures in pocket will come apart after 10 seconds. There is no way to carry structures on long distance.

·         No way to craft difficult items far away from research labs.

·         Some characters are disabled.

·         Sometimes there will be gifts near portal. Be ready to fight for them.

·         Ghosts can't spy. They will be kicked if server is full.

·         Be ready for any surprises in the game. Everything can happen.

·         Every bug you will face in the game is feature. If even it is a bug, mostly it will not be fixed while playing. Maybe it will be fixed in the next round.

Goal

Kill all other players. You have only one life.

Who can join

At start, anybody can join the game. After a while the game enters to closed mode.

Who can't join while open mode:
- Ghosts if the server is full. At least 2 free slots are reserved for new players to join.

Districts

Every player can join district. If you want, leave a request here. 

If you want you can play alone. But districts can give you some features:

·         A way to win game with your friend

·         You’ll have your ow district icon!

·         You’ll won’t be able to attack your teammates!

·         Bonus inventory for each district!

Armor tuning

All armor reduced by approximately 2 times. But you can combine different armor. For example, 50% body armor + 50% helmet = 75% of the total absorption.
Formula: A + B - A*B,
e.g. (0.5 + 0.5) - 0.5 * 0.5 = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

Armor	Absorption
Grass armor	0.3 (30%)
Snurtle Shell Armor	0.3
Scalemail	0.35
Log Suit	0.4
Thulecite Suit	0.4
Night Armour	0.45
Marble Suit	0.5
Football Helmet	0.3
Battle helm	0.35
Shelmet	0.4
Thulecite Crown	0.45

Hey , that sounds pretty nice.

Wanted to participe but since i'm not a really punctual dude and i forget stuff easily i saldy won't be able to come to your super cool event.

But it's a freakin' great idea! I love it , should become a part of Don't starve together game modes (after Cooperative,Madness,etc).

By the way , what are "dangerous gifts"? Is it a Gift wrap with 80 killer bees or something that spawn monsters/giants?

[mathem99]

It's a good idea if you mentioned which characters are disabled so others will be aware.

[SkyCommision]

I won't be able to come since I already have an event on my server happening that day, but that sounds freakin' sweet. Following this thread so that I can know when a new season starts.

Sounds interesting.

Can you share your mods and world configs? Moscow is a little far. I want to host a Hunger Game locally.

[csc_unit]

Does the world get smaller over time? Idk how you'd do that, but that would be dope.

I've been thinking about it, but no. On day 25 all players will be teleported to arena, where they'll have to fight each other.

I'm using my own mod, that noone can find on workshop. Sorry.

[fimmatek]

Will you organize this hunger games more times? Like if I cannot play this week, can I join and try it at some time later?

I like the idea and would give it a try

Add a penalty to player who is too far from the portal.

Reduce the penalty distance over time.

 

This avoid changing the map, and prevent players escaping again after teleported to arena.

tfw Wolfgang disabled for no reason whilst WX and Wicker remain

[Starlogy]

Uhhh... So no disadvantage to picking Wigfrid? Like, at all?

Just remove her ability to craft her armor instead of removing the attack and defense bonus. That would make much more sense, anyway.

[Scarecrow0_0]

Can't wait, going to try to join but connection might be a little bad since Moscow is pretty far away. Hopefully I don't forget!

[Cunning fox]

Time is changed. Starting at 17:00 on Moscow time. Sorry about that :/ 

[Residays]

I can't even join because my country and my ISP bless me with often disconnects and I only have one disconnect allowed, gg.

Have fun participating people.

[fsp98]

Are you serious? What do you achieve by banning people you consider too old (which is questionable at best, if you use the computer, why should you be considered too old?) or casual? What is the system assessing who fits this description?

You also have a serious flaw in allowing a single disconnection. Third-party technical issues should not be persecuted.

Where is the list of disabled characters again?

[Cunning fox]

Hey everyone! Sorry about what happend today... At my side everything worked fine... By the way we've found crash, and we'll return on the next week. I'm realy sorry about that  Thanks everyone, who tried to connect...

I mean, I hate to nag, but @JohnWatson & @Arlesienne make good points. Wolfgang being disabled is a little dumb, why not just change him like you did with Wigfrid and Wickerbottom? Remove his speed boost if you consider that OP, maybe even lower his max attack boost to 1.5 or something less obnoxious.

ALSO, disabling Webber yet Maxwell is allowed. And even buffing Maxwell. Realize that spiders have got NOTHING on Shadow Duelists in PvP. If you're gonna ban characters that can have unique allies, ban the one that can literally summon them at will.

Wigfrid being able to eat veggies is like letting Wickerbottom be able to sleep. That's just stupid. Sure, you removed her attack and defense bonus to even it out, but the fact remains that she still spawns with armor and a weapon. Remove her ability to craft them, or at the very least remove them from her starter kit. If you're going to change how her meat diet works, then I'd suggest this instead:

Rather than not being able to eat vegetables at all, Wigfrid is able to eat them on the brink of starvation at the cost of 10 sanity. Maybe at like 1/15th of her hunger, she'd be able to eat vegetables until it goes above 12.

Removing her defense bonus was probably for the best, but removing the attack bonus isn't really the best of ideas.

With the whole disconnect thing, this really makes it difficult for people who are far away from where you host. If you're worried about people leaving during a fight, put a timer on the disconnect button, like make it so they have to stand perfectly still for 10 seconds before disconnecting. Also the dropping items upon leaving is kind of dumb.

Don't get me wrong here, I honestly love this idea and will definitely play on the server when it goes up again. However just skimming through things, I got the impression that you didn't think a few things out as much as you should've.

Course it's your mod, if you wanna keep it the way you do there's no beef from me whatsoever. Those are just some improvements that would make things a lot more balanced.
