If you make the events fun then you'll get participants...but if people are doing it for the reward, you'll need to up the ante. 5 million isn't that much, unless you're really talking dollars, in which case, sign me up.

Fun is the idea. A player playing in most of the events would wind up winning a bit of dough still. I think it will be interesting at the least to see howmuch damage a player can muster up in one strike.

Good luck with your Olympics.
One question though. How will you be able to control what other players, who aren't participating in your Olympics, do?

This isn't really PvP related, to be honest. And in my opinion, it should not be done in a PvP environment. DR will really screw everything up. Things like "highest damage" will be pointless, since everybody will basically have the same thing, since DR will make buffs and inspirations meaningless. Also, timing the "longest hold" in PvP will be impossible. Considering a "long hold" is something like 8 seconds, compared to a short hold of 4 seconds, the difference is marginal, at best. And when you get one person with 8.3 seconds while someone else has 8.34 seconds, good luck timing that accurately.
Yeah, this sounds cool, but it should be done in a PvE environment, because that would offer a much bigger range of results.

Out of all the ideas I thought that one sounded the best, I dont think he just meant using a hold... its how long u can keep them in barrier, so laying down quicksand, using kb etc all included.|

I don't really see it working in a zone tho, not freedom anyway.
I actually would be really entertained watching people try to race across rv (ideally youd say no stealth or travel powers) while pvpers not participating were doing everything in their power to farm them. It would both increase the challenge level for the people doing the event and satisfy the pvper's desire to farm everything that moves.

Fear not. The Virtuous Vanguard will be there to supervise these Olympics and make sure things go as smoothly as possible.

This is an interesting idea. Like villains start at their base and run to hero base and whoever gets droned first wins without getting picked off on the way.

When is farm day?
Now I get it....
All those times we saw Chido run to drones across the entire zone....he was really just practicing for the race in these Olympics!
Since we need a reason to use walk, I suggest we toggle it on and try to make it from one base to the other. >.>

The interest is mixed but positive enough to move forward on I think. Working up enough influence and Infamy now for the prizes. I will set them as high as possible to hopefully get some involvement.
Of course it is zone play and I would expect there to be fowl play. That is ok also.
It will be fun to see who can muster up the most damage or run the zone fastest. I didnt plan on running the length from drone to drone though btw, lol.
I will finalize a list of events and post it up soon then.
Id love to see how much glue arrow/Caltrops/Snowstorms we can get on the people waiting at the starting line of the zone race.

I have been thinking about hosting a PVP Olympic in RV on Freedom. There would be several team and individual events to participate in for influence or infamy prizes. There will be a $5 Million dollar prize for individual events and $5 million dollar prize per player for team events. I am hoping for some feedback from the community here to see if they would be interested. Below are a list of some possible events but I am open to suggestion.
Individual race across the zone. Teams of racing players would be required to start from the same spot on the map and race to the lead team member at the finish line.
Team race across the zone. Same as the individual race but the team may assist other team member to the finish.
Most damage from a single attack individual. You will be allowed to use any power and inspiration you have to generate the largest amount of damage possible in one hit.
Most damage from a single attack team. You will be allowed to use any power and inspiration at your teams disposal to allow one team member to generate the largest amount of damage possible in one hit.
Longest team hold without killing the target. A team of players will attempt to hold a single opponent player within a ten foot square for as long as possible. The team may cast as many powers as they wish as long as they do not kill the target. The team will start the timer after they are satisfied that they have cast enough powers to hold the opponent. The opponent will have no toggles on and must walk from the without the use of powers or inspirations.
