Uh, yeah. On second thought, I think I'll pass. I just remembered that there will probably be douchebags who'll show up for no other reason than to gank those whose guards might be down because they're too busy fighting AVs. And I play this game as an escape from the douchebags I must deal with in the real world.

Imagine that, people pvp;ing in a pvp zone, where do they get the nerve! Quick someone pm the devs, they mistakenly put BADGES in a pvp zone, this must obviously be wrong. Maybe they can disable pvp for a little while so the precious badges can be had with the ease they are supposed to :P

BLAH BLAH CAREBEAR BLAH BLAH BADGEZ BLAH BLAH PVP
Not once in my post did I make any sort of asinine complaint about PvP. A certain breed of PvPer, yes. But not PvP. Recluse's Victory is a PvP zone; you'd have to be either naive or stupid to expect to go in there and not possibly deal with PvP of some sort.
But bear with me here, Funk. What if - and this is big, so you might wanna sit down - we get a whole bunch of people together in RV for an event, an event during which they'll have a good time? And what if afterward, since they've all had a good time, some friendly mass PvP breaks out and nobody cares how many times they eat dirt because it's all awesome and fun? And what if, because of the experience being fun, they become more open to the idea of engaging in PvP more often? Wouldn't that be a good thing?
Or does ganking distracted noobs who'll likely never again step foot in a PvP zone once they've been ganked appeal to you more? If it does, well, then maybe the PvP zones in this game deserve to sit largely empty.

so why do your hypothetical group of players get to have fun and the "other" group of hypothetical players can't do what they enjoy? What if the "douchebags" outnumber the Badgers? would that mean the badgers are imposing on the douchebags? Or does posting an event on the forums all of a sudden make what goes on in RV the other 364 days of the year all of a sudden a "bad" thing?
Hawk is a regular in our vent, he knows full well all of the possible scenarios surrounding this event, and in a way, i think he likes it

Meh it doesn't bother me. At least it makes regular badge hunting more interesting.

Maybe it's just some irreconcilable fundamental difference in personal philosophy between you and I, Funk, but I happen to think that "Wow, that event was great! Now, let's kick the [censored] outta each other!" is a sentiment that will generally encourage future PvP participation, as opposed to "Wow, this event is -- *DEATH* -- Hey, who the [censored] did that?! That sucks!".
And on the outside chance that this really is just a gankfest disguised as a PvE event: bad form, man. Bad form.

Please, there's not even anyone on this server worth pulling off an elaborate ruse to draw into the zone. Hawk's event is legit. I kill heroes, it's what i do, everyone knows it. Red = Dead. I'm flattered that you're insinuating that i singlehandedly make it so there is no pvp on Pinnacle,but that's Castle's doing. I PL, I farm, I exploit, I kill innocent players. I guess i'm just a big meaniehead.

When is this? Next Monday? I will try to be there. My villain needs those badges and I'll do what I can to help out.
When planning for an event, I try to think of things will please both crowds for us, the casual non-pvper's and the the pvp'ers.
In my recent event, I decided to get both crowds together to have a nice event.
That being said, I do hope that event can be fun and entertaining at the same time.
Do I think that this event will off nicely, no! Why, well, simply put, its not going to happen. I do hope that the PvPer's will let us get the badges, but yet at the same time, try to stop us in our path.
One thing to remember, the numbers of the few out fight the numbers of the many.
As always, Questions or Comments, post below or PM me.
Happy Hunting!

Hell,some opposition makes it more of an event.Any team can go into RV and get the badges any time they want if there is no opposition.I would almost say the whole point of the event is to go into enemy territory and take the prize.
I wish you all goodluck as well,hope alot of people turn out.
I will be one of the enemies and look forward to a good fight.

No, but through your responses you are starting to resemble the stereotypical PvPer that many PvEers don't like to associate with. I'd like to think you're above that and capable of at least semi-rational discussion of PvP-related things that doesn't degenerate into the usual "us vs. them" rabble.
And the only reason I even entertained the incredibly remote possibility of Hawk's event not being on the level is because of your comment that not only was he more than likely aware of the ramifications of said event, but that he liked the idea of said ramifications. I'm relieved that my slight concern was completely, totally, unfounded and baseless.
I originally came into this thread because I legitimately thought Hawk's event sounded like fun - I remember this event being fun the few times I took part in it back when folks like Taser were organizing them - and because it had potential to maybe get some folks to try PvP by first dangling the badge-carrot in front of them. It's just a shame that at least one person in the PvP community (because Lord forbid I paint you as the sole cause of the PvP dearth in this game ... wait a minute, I never did that) feels that their reputation is more important than doing things that could end up getting more people involved with PvP.
But in any event, have fun being the hero killer (Red=Dead, after all) who thinks people are insinuating things about him when they aren't, and whose matter-of-fact statements ("I PL, I farm, I exploit, I kill innocent players.") induce much laughter. No skin off my back to happily go back to the PvE game and wash my hands of this exchange.
See you in-game, where we can both hopefully retain civility and lightheartedness because, at the end of the day, none of this really matters -- I'm not this much of a smug [censored] (I know you're probably thinking that I am 
); you're not some stereotypical, emotionally-retarded PvPtard; and this is a friggin' video game.
And Hawk: Sorry for the massive derail and hope your event goes well. Maybe some fresh blood will be injected into the PvP scene because of it. I'll try to pop in, but I'm in England and sometimes 2 AM on a weeknight is far less do-able than others.

i'm not a part of the pvp community, those people use 3's instead of e's and all left the game a couple issues ago and the few stragglers that are left wax their e-peen's in the pwnz forum. Me? I'm just a simple bunny trying to make my way in the universe.
