Guns Of Icarus Online

Hey guys;
I designed a small one-lobby event called Gold Rush for some casual fun. This is played on Canyon Ambush.
We're playing tonight, 22:30 CET (21:30 GMT)
You can sign up here. Password to the game will be given out to people when the lobby is created about 20-15 minutes before.
What is the objective in "Gold Rush" -
-- One captain chooses a Goldfish. This captain is also the referee for the current round.
The Goldfish flies around on one side of the map. He can not enter the canyons under any circumstance.
-- Three captains choose a Squid. They start on the other side of the map. Their objective is to be the first to ram the Goldfish.
When the Goldfish has been rammed;- that squid scores a point. The goldfish let's the enemy squid(s) kill it so it respawns
on the other side again; and so the round can end from kills at some point. Obviously the squid on the same team as
the Goldfish can't do this;- but kill count does not matter.
The squid that scored the most points;- which the Goldfish referee is keeping track of;- will win the round. The round ends naturally from Goldfish kills to reset it's position.
Rounds are expected to go very quick and somewhat chaotic. Being playful and creative is encouraged.
RULES:
Goldfish:
- The goldfish may not attack an enemy squid. They may only try to flee and keep them from ramming.
- The goldfish captain may use any tool they desire;- except Tar; since it hurts the squids.
- The goldfish may hide. But they are entirely prohibited from entering the Canyons.
- The goldfish crew must consist of 1 captain and 3 engineers. The engineers are there to help referee;- and to repair the goldfish engines etc. from helm tool useage.
- After the goldfish has been rammed; and an enemy squid has scored a point - engineers do not repair; so the goldfish can be killed quickly to reset the round.
- After the Goldfish has been killed to reset the round;- he and the ramming squid confirm who scored the point;- and lets the squids know when he is in position again on one end of the map;- and which end this is.
Squids:
- The squids may not use any guns to attack other squids. Each squid should have 3 engineers. Flare guns are allowed.
- Squids may use Tar to bother the other squids in the race.
- Squids may use any other helm tool that might be useful at their discretion.
- Squids may decide to simply race to the goldfish;- or to ram the other squids to keep them from doing so.
- Squids can use any path they wish through the Canyons.
- The squid captain that rams the goldfish lets everyone know through Regional chat;- the Goldfish has to confirm it.
After a round has ended and a winning squid emerged;- another crew and captain take on the role of the Goldfish;- and the crews can swap captains for the next round so other people get a chance of doing more constructive things than just repairing engines and such.
If the event does not reach a full sign up;- we'll reschedule with some more time.

Im in buff kits and MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONSHIIIIIINNEEE
-
This sounds fun! I'm in!
-
i can team up the goldfish crew if needed
is the score point earned with any touch of the goldfish, so that you don't need to ram until it's death?
And flare guns still can damage ships putting parts into serious fire
-
I actually need to get kills on a squid for an achievement :3
I just need to see what time it'll be where I am
-
i think its a race so no need to ram it to death but will let connor kill us at the end : D...... best outta 3 ?

Flareguns are only to be used to uncover the goldfish in case it's hiding in a cloud; I stated no guns may be allowed to damage other squids.
The point is earned with the first touch of the goldfish;- it's a race through the canyons; kind of like a star wars podrace

i was just thinking of star wars

4:30 looks like. Pylon racing time

Just to really confuse the issue, CET and GMT moved to daylight savings in the early hours of this morning (Sunday). The relevant current zulu times are now CET+1 and BST. Depending what Phoebe is intending as s start time, this could throw people out by an hour.
UTC is really the only useful time zone for international communities. But you do then have to remember your current local offset.

Could I get put down as a maybe? I'm going to lunch with me grandma today, and I dunno when I'll get back, but I'll do it if I get back in time
-
Still noting down; sorry for not updating the actual list. But we're a little over an hour away and I don't think we're making it on such short notice.
Trying to get a couple of more people;- otherwise we'll just recreate and reschedule with a couple of days notice. :)
-
maybe i can livestream this
-
It should be in 7 minutes but we don't have near enough people.
I am rescheduling this for sure though! I'm out of town a couple of days tomorrow to attend a LAN again to promote GoIO - but I''ll be back in the country by thursday and I'll schedule it up then for next weekend.
-
i think i can stream this, just have to set everything up again but that wont be a problem
-
Count me in! sounds like fun :)

@ Phoebe I would not mind trying this out, but yes please give us some days notice. It's Easter, and I was spending time with family today. :)
As well I I try my best to pay attention to these forums, but too many posts, and takes me hours to get through them all. LOL You are welcome to add me as a friend on steam and let me know as well. Same name.
