Titanic CTF
This discussion has been closed.

Few suggestions to reduce some grief:
1. Remove devotion deliverance - the ability to grief/abuse this is too huge, and it will all be against Targossas which isn't fair.
2. Make sure to clear everyone's defenses after the CTF is over - after the Demigod event, I was able to retain the mega defenses for about 10 days before I got "randomly" kicked off Achaea.
3. Remove the ability to numb/apathy unless you innately had the ability - an extra 10 seconds of everyone not dying isn't going to be fun.
4. Remove mass aoe damage abilities unless you already had them - things like arc, chaos rays, holocaust - bringing a group of 20 people and having each one cast holocaust is probably not going to be fun.
5. Don't allow extermination during the event.
I'm sure there are tons of other highly abusable/won't be fun things, but those were some of the big ones I thought of right away.
but better for all of us, you won't be attending!
Titanic CTF sounds nuts. My only complaint is that I only have 1 day to prepare myself and everyone else for it, but I'm sure that's by design. Let the 20-man Backstab squads begin.
How could this not be fun?
Achaea is my favorite game. I have so much fun playing it. Even after 12 years. I'm glad the admin never let it grow stagnant. It's very impressive.
I guess I'll see you again Sunday, bud. Whoever you are now.
I'M READY.
Win or lose, though, I definitely think that they need to happen much more often, so the Effigy can be spread around and not sit in one city for RL years at a time (although Eleusis has only had it for a couple of months).

Me too!

The only thing I find really odd about the Titanic CTF is that when we were demigods, a God had to give up Their divinity for us to have all those skills. Now we're just getting them for free, except according to the mass e-mail Sarapis sent there will be some skills excluded... and we're not going to have access to Divine fire, zap, essence, Gods channel, etc.
I would definitely like some forewarning on what skills we do and don't get access to. As far as server speed goes, I don't remember the last CTF as especially laggy. The Foozle was, though.

Admin: Here's something super new and fun we made for CHRISTMAS! So you can all have fun at Christmas! Like, it was pretty hard work, but it should be super fun. Everyone wants to have fun at Christmas right?
Sections of the Playerbase: How DARE you. Are you implying we don't have fun all year round? Are you full on admitting to us, the (sometimes) paying customers that fun is not your priority at all times? How can you RP out something fun for Christmas, CHRISTMAS ISN'T IC. We refuse to buy credits for eternity, and demand some vague apology and recompense.
Admin: But... Christmas? Special... Christmas fun?
Sections of the Playerbase: We have no interest in your special Christmas fun, sir. The door is that way. We will be playing WoW instead where this kind of non-RP holiday nonsense is entirely unheard of.
Admin: *headdesk*
@Vansittart: If the Effigy wasn't on the line, perhaps. As it is it's not just about fun since there's a very tangible and powerful reward on the line. For a lot of people, I expect it's not going to be any more fun than a regular CTF, because they'd have to spend most of the two hour duration trying to set things up to use all the new abilities and as a result will only use the abilities they have access to normally. It may actually be less fun for some people to have to deal with already absurd damage from heavily artied players made even faster by abilities like reflexes.
Possibly open up the test server for people to go and try everything out?
I don't know if I'll be competing just because of the scheduling. Normally 11pm GMT wouldn't be too big a deal on a weekend, but I've not had a lot of sleep this week so might not last that long. Either way, I'm going to be picking up Monk as my eighth class tonight and tomorrow.

What if we had a stock scenario that gets wheeled out. Scheduled events where @Valnurana's priestess conduct experiments in communal dreaming on a world wide scale as they try to reach behind the curtain to help @Sarapis tend the flame?
To be honest, I've seen more real christmas spirit from achaeans than I've seen RL in almost a decade.
edit: retail not retal.
