Random Events

I got one! Sometimes the shooting gallery will have the GMT logo (this http://i.imgur.com/Itt6A.png) instead of targets!

New idea for random event: because the mini golf course on the moon would be too small how about instead we change the moon into a moon-sized golfball.

why

beause a golf course on the moon is too small, it would be referencing the moon golf course

There is already a planned planetary Minigolf map to pay homage to Moon.

I reckon it might be fun to have surprise random plaza events a few ideas I had were:

chainsaw massacre
players are stripped their jetpack (if they have one) and one random player is given a chainsaw and forced to hunt other players (payout for A. surviving B. kills)

running money man
one player is given a large amount of units and what used to be “the slappers”
which knocks people away if another player presses E on them then the units and “the slappers” are transfered to them. ( payout of whatever amount of money the money man has and to who is the money man at the end of whatever time)

hide n’ peep
an amount of units are hidden somewhere on the map for 10 mins and the person the find it wins! (payout to first to find the units)

look out below!
all players are teleported to a 5X5 square checkerboard and random squares are removed until there is one left. any players on the square get the units split between them

guess who?
a random person is given a mark on their back said person also has to try and blend in with other players if he is found the the finder wins! (payout goes to A. the person with the mark if they hide for long enough B. the person who finds the hider)

If anyone has any other events post them below :slight_smile:

I love the idea of virus randomly breaking out in the lobby. Maybe it could disable everyone’s jetpacks and powerups when it happens.

I don’t care for any suggestions relating to the condos.

I know the devs say they’re probably not going to do anything for holiday events this year, but bringing back random snowball fights before Christmas would be cool.

Oh my god yes.

Or for about 3-10 mins any action you do gets narrated by the narrator
E.G.
“Stanley entered the Casino, Obviously wanting to waste his money.”

They are all so good…

Wish i could come up with one

Pretty good for post EA

As requested by Mac, I’m gonna go ahead and bump this, since the events system is being worked on. Here’s a neat idea for a trivia event from another thread

:stars: Abduction Event :alien:
Stars or random burning objects begin to fall from the sky at random locations.
These objects can be futuristic or as silly as they come.
Participants must cooperate together to collect these ‘fallen stars’ , whilst UFOs spawn per number of objects collected, these UFOs will travel around the plaza hunting event players and if spotted will give chase until they’re sucked into the UFO (abducted) or out of their view.

Note : During this minigame all jetpacks, potion effects and traveling to new areas (like casino or gameports) is disabled for participants only. Entering buildings however like shops is permitted and is a viable way to get UFOs off your tail.

Win condition : At minimum 1 player survives till the end of the timer, units are given to participants depending on amount of ‘fallen stars’ collected.
Fail condition : All participants are abducted and unable to play, no units will be given for ‘stars’ collected.

This would need some sort of method for players to get past the event area without joining the event. Would be annoying if I want to go play Typing Derby and I get abducted and have to wait till the event is over.

I did say participants, not general players.
The UFOs would only chase/abduct participants of the event, not players just going to and fro.

As I’m sure this would also happen with old events like chainsaw massacre where players who didn’t join for the event at the fountain and they’re just going to the shops won’t be affected by weapons or the event at all.

There was no opting in to events in GMT. On more than one occasion, I’d be minding my own business, walking to a store to buy something, when someone would run up and murder me with a chainsaw. That’s why there were specific areas for the events. If you were outside the event area, you were safe but if you entered the area, you were considered to be part of the event.

Not really. In GMT, there was no opting in or out. There were specific areas for each event and if you walked into the area, you became part of the event and if you left the area, it bumped you out of the event.
