UPDATE: Event is running already! If you sign up now, you'll be added to the stand-by line and can get on the server when someone drops out.
Hi everyone,
This is the chance to get all your Halloween masks to craft the Saxton Hale mask or do whatever you like with them. You can also fight the horseman for the relevant achievements or just for fun if you like. This event if open to Regs / Clanners. If you're non of the aforementioned you can still join if I am sure that you won't bring trouble.
when: Sunday 4:30pm
where: HH5 (Gerald)
(Sam said it's ok to use the Regs-server for this)
how it works:
Gifts start dropping with 10 players on the server. To minimize the time it takes to acquire a mask this event will be limited to 11 players + stand-by/ringers.
When you join the server you'll be assigned a number (1,2,3,4 ... you get the idea) and when we hit 10 people the one with the lowest number can collect the the gift.
Once you collected your gift you'll be assigned a new number putting you at the end of the queue.
If you join the server during the event you'll be assigned a number putting you at the bottom of the current queue.
If you are afk while its your turn, your mask will be collected and given to you once you return. I will manage this at the start of the event.*
Should you accidentally or intentionally collect the gift although you're not next in the queue you'll be asked to gift the mask you just received to the player it belongs to. No exchanging for a different mask or keeping it to yourself.
This worked very well in the previous round so I reckon it will run smoothly this time round as well.
Technically this system doesn't need much administration so it could go on for as long as there are ten/11 people on the server. I will manage the number of players for about 2 - 2.5h. After that it's up to you to keep the server filled. Please be sensible and only invite one at a time or you're likely to quickly increase the number of players in the rotation above 11.
I am currently holding a spot for the following people, as they signed up for the first one but didn't get a chance to play:
Finzy
Sam
Daystar
Deepblue
PGT (he played last time but bugged me quite a lot to be in the next one as well
)To all of the above: please reply to this thread if you're in or out.
Current sign-ups:

Kifter
Gorb
Daystar

Add me a few minutes before the event starts to get the password for the server: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197990181011
Technical note: is it possible to turn of the ping kicker ? If so could someone explain how to do it or point me to the right option in the admin menu (or just do it for me
). I am currently in Hong Kong and get an average ping of 250 to european servers. For this event that wouldn't be an issue, unless i get kicked every 2 minutes by the ping kicker
sign me up for the next one, if there is one. If i'm on at 6 i'll be able to carry on the adminstratering if Mike leaves.
