18.3.9 Great Starfalls
The grandest sport known throughout the land! Or perhaps not. But fun nonetheless. The idea of this game is to gather as many special meteorites which are scattered about the land in the time limit provided. The person with the highest score at the end of the time period is the winner. As the Starfall begins, you will notice the following thing: A bright flash of light ripples across the sky as a meteorite falls from the heavens, and crashes into the ground near you. That is what it looks like as meteorites start falling all around the world in areas that are above ground. This does not mean that they land in the specific location you are in, but they will show up around the area. After that, it is time to start collecting them by picking them up from the ground. Game Variations ------------------ PK Allowed/Disallowed: If PK is allowed, you are allowed to attack anyone in the game. All experience loss and gain from player kills will be disabled. Do not attack newbies unless you are certain they are participating in the event. If you are online during a PK event you risk being killed. If the event is No PK, then you are not permitted to kill a player just because they are looking for meteorites, or have meteorites on them. Sharing Some events will allow sharing meteorites, and others will not. In the case of No Share events, the meteorites will be destroyed when picked up and the points applied to your score. Points ------------------- The meteorites and their point values (from rarest to most common): 9 points: Radiant Meteorites 5 points: Glowing Meteorites 3 points: Glossy Meteorites 2 points: Icy Meteorites 1 point: Dull Meteorites Commands ------------------- STARSCORES - This command will display a few things. Your score, the time remaining in the event, and the top 10 players. Once the event is over, it will display the scores for all players who found a meteor. Occasionally (but not always!), the winner(s) may be granted an aura of the stars. When one is draped in this aura, they will gain access to a couple of abilities: STARAURA LIFT - This ability will lift you high into the clouds. STARAURA SEEK <target> - This ability will allow you seek out the location of your target, scrying their location and observing their well-being.
