So you just hit planetside and found that sweating isnt much fun when trying to make a living, begging is a morale killer and wandering around listening to chatter around the cities and camps is worse than twitter on a pager…so what now?
Give up? Quit? Cry?
[CENTER][SIZE=“7”]NO![/SIZE][/CENTER]
Bagmans fiendishly clever mind has come to the party for noobs…
[SIZE=“5”]LOST IN TRANSPORTATION[/SIZE]
[COLOR=“Indigo”]I will become [COLOR=“DarkRed”]lost in the toxic wastelands to the NW of Port Atlantis (Yellow Zone) and will transmit a distress signal in the forum nearer the time [COLOR=“DarkRed”](starts August between the 6th and the 9th) and in game when in the zone.
Any player may venture in and brave the creatures that dwell amongst the strange and wild landscape however the first person to find me must add me as a member of their team…check on how to make a team and add other players to it. Anyone who wants to rescue me will need to make the team name..[COLOR=“DarkRed”]“BAGMANS SAVIOUR” and once I have joined the team I will [COLOR=“DarkRed”]place my avatar on FOLLOW. If my saviour is killed trying to lead me out of the toxic wasteland by creature or is hijacked by another player and killed then they will have to form a team with the same name and do the same…[COLOR=“DarkRed”]make it out of the yellow zone with me on follow. I will continue to drop a team if my saviour is killed and follow the next saviour and so on.
The aim of this game/skill based test is to assist you in evading other players, using map cocords, avoid/killing creatures/players if you possess weapons or using tactics to make it out alive and unharmed. Before someone in authority places this in the event threads I have placed it here to allow noobs to read it mainly rather than more experienced players. I will scan players and will set a benchmark/cutoff in my opinion when noob is no longer noob…more to follow on that soon.
I will be [COLOR=“DarkRed”]donating prizes to those who give it a go and a special prize for the one who gets me over the yellow arc-line.
I will post more info and answer questions as time passes.
Its a simple game so please dont get hung up on questions on vague possibilities and what ifs… [COLOR=“Purple”]simply find me, add me to your team with team name specified and run like hell with me following and make it out of the zone…VERY SIMPLE.…oh and I will throw in a curveball during the actual rescue! So be ready!
So keep skilling and watch the calendar and watch for more news…
Once again Bags comes up with another great idea to get new players involved and realising that there is more to do in EU than just sweating for 6 months…:yay:
Well done Bags… it sounds like you all should have some fun…
I play around the clock when I do get on so I will be doing one night and one day game in the period…just trying to convince my friend to stay up and allow me to crash but should be ok.
Can i be one of the creatures the players must kill/avoid also?
Bagman always makes things fun for noobs, even me when i started back in 2006, was it not for him and my mentor Alice, i’d probably not be here today, so i gladly support anything you organize, i’d even be willing to give some stuff as prizes to help.
Sorry for the apparent late reply…drinks after work got a little larger than they were supposed to…
Anyways,
I have finalised the prizes and these will be a mix of items and ped to the value of 40ped each over 4 time slots.
SUMMARY
Again the idea is to navigate as a noob through the no-mans (or womans) land NW of Port Atlantis and search for me…from time to time I will transmit an SOS signal. You need to set up a team (with the correct team name!!!), invite me to join and then lead me out of the zone (I will follow). If i die (I will not be armed) by beast or other colonist then we start over again. My TP chip was damaged so I will not return to the same location twice.
The person who leads me out will win the prizes.

Ah, the old cut and paste trick…yeah my bad and thanks for picking that up. :ahh:
No one has found me in the zone yet…i picked the easiest landmark…oh well I will give it another 10 mins before rescuing myself…:rolleyes:
Thanks again.
Sounds like a fun contest, dunno if I still qualify as a noob though :D. It would be good if you could announce the cutoff. Regardless, it’s generous of you to set it up. Hope somebody pops in tonight ;).
Im in need of rescue after James Anzak Arden made a valiant attempt to rescue me but failed to guard my life.
INSERT PICS HERE
I am still lost in the PVP zone somewhere NW of Port Atlantis, rescue will be have been determined to have failed by GMT (MA) time of 15:15hrs on Sat 8th Aug 2009 if not found. Im in the zone and 40 ped goes to my noob rescuer!
I dare not move for my ammo is low and health lower, find me and get me out of this wretched place!
