If you are gonna add artifacts to the event, you should keep them relevant.
Maybe include lesser known things the Egyptians kept in their tombs and commonly known things that you would not expect them to have.
It will improve the educational value of your ideas.
On another note, I spent all day turning your drawing into a map:

The foot is definitely weird, that backwards foot!
I used up to 300 strings and 48 grounds, not much room for changing things.

Actually, teh Lost in the Desert idea was insperation from Gryffin's thread. I actually didn't like this idea.

#109

Man, this thread is so nicely done, the idea was so well thought it,this would make such a great event.
Puffpapa I hope your idea becomes an event. ^^

Stop lying through your teeth. You said it yourself that you made an event inspired by this AND Griffin's idea. Want me to quote it? You also /supported this a while back.

On-topic: I haven't even started with the titles and badges, and the banner for the OP is just a crapy placeholder that I made in 5 minutes. I might be spending my Christmas money on art for this thread, since it needs a ton of that.

can i ask?
Are the artifacts going to work like relics or something like presents (or flags on Children's day, etc)

#112

/support ^^ It is a delicious :)

In a way, both. Artifacts are going to work as a trigger in the map. Once selected, (ducking, colliding with it, idk yet) it'll take you to a small screen with a challenge displayed on it. I'll get to that later, because the OP is not fully structured. When you successfully finish the challenge, quiz, etc., it'll show up in your inventory and I guess there'll be the ability to get multiple of the same artifacts. It's a stable concept but I feel like nobody can be too satisfied. It's not a relic event, however; they only show up in the inventory because people will forget if they had already obtained it or not.

Aaaaaand if anyone is wondering, this was all established BEFORE relics were EVER invented.
Maybe shitty but 100% original.

woah confuse now:
1) Each artifacts gives you a challenge / quiz.
2) After finishing it it would be placed in the inventory.

right?

Then whats the point of the shrine? is not a coop event anymore, unless you are saying we can donate our artifacts to it to get another prize.
I mean considering that the goal is to get all the artifacts (to get the badge) makes it a solo run.

Oh crap that's true. Forgot about that. I was actually gonna save the shrine for something later on in the event (hint,hint), implying that it even airs. Unless you'd have to run back to the shrine to validate your artifact. It might be a mess, though, because people would be complaining about how they didn't get to the shrine in time or they were unsatisfied with the amount of artifacts they got in one map. Buuutttt, you might want to ignore what I just said because I'm thinking of turning this event into a free-for-all type of thing, but, instead of people claiming their artifacts like they did flags in Children's day, claiming an artifact would be client-sided. The catacombs (to the right of the shrine) might also be used for the "hint, hint"y thingy instead of the shrine but idek yet. But yeah, like I said, this concept needs some work.

Fibs if you do it, I'd be so grateful omg like I'd be on your back about gifting you fraises. If you want, go for it :>

==============================================================================================================

OKAYYYYY options

1) Free for all, like said above, with client side and everything
2) If everyone works together to get at least 10 artifacts to the shrine in time (implying that you were one of them), then one of the relics you collected will be picked out of random and added to your inventory (or if you got just one, then that one relic that you got will be it)
3)Basically #2, but with 15 artifacts in the shrine and it's mandatory for you to collect 2+ artifacts and bring them to the shrine for you to get one of the artifacts you collected out of random(this will rule out people trying to farm one artifact at a time)

The problem with #3 is that people are only 2 times slower but can still finish the event in a few days. Raising the artifacts-taken-to-the-shrine limit seems to be the only way to fix it, along with you having to collect like 4+, 5+ and bring it to the shrine. The problem with this is that the limit for the artifacts-taken-to-the-shrine might be too high and people won't successfully finish the map, therefore nobody will get a single artifact for that map and whining will proceed.

Where are the shop items and the titles?
With the troll thing, this can be provoked. Make the artifact vanish for that player only.

That's up to Meli.

Well, actually, you're right about that. People can still troll, though. I mean, the only badge I've come up with is "every artifact being brought back to the shrine", which imo will be extremely hard to get because there's a high probability that someone will make a mistake or that someone will troll (there's bound to be a lot of trolling during the final stretch of the event).

They're still client-sided, though, but this badge would be the only thing close to not being client.

#119

Aplogies in advance for the double-post; both the information above and below this line is important so please don't remove either of them

I'm thinking of translating this thread into Spanish and French and remaking it for both those forums, but that'll only be considered once I finally decide to polish up the horrible (imo) OP and I'm sure that'll take a while since I am a neat freak (ocd for slang readers)

Also, I've thought of a few more artifacts but I don't feel like adding them just yet since that might fill the limit for images into a thread.

I still have a very important to say about how this event will go but I can't find a way to process it, and i'm sure it might even shock my friends, so for now this spot is reserved or something along those lines haha... (that and i'm not done photoshopping the image lmao)
------
So when the event starts, you'll be given the big map.. and it'll work like this:
At the top left of your screen, under the name of the map, you'll have some circles (the number of circles is TBA for now). In them, there'll be artifacts. You have to collect them in order from left to right, or else you'll have to restart or possibly die. Remember that every artifact has a mini-game assigned to it. Once you've gotten all of them in order, bring it back to the shrine and then do anything you want from there until time runs out. The artifacts you got that round are yours to keep. Collect them all and you've finished the first part of the event.

Every week, a new event map will be added, but they will not interfere with the MAIN event map. The weekly map will offer you something to do on said map that week, this way you won't get bored. After a week, that map will be replaced by a different one. The MAIN event map will, however, stay for the whole event since it is the "main course" of the event, and it'll take the longest time to finish. The new maps will be added weekly until there's only 2 weeks left for the event...

At that point, all of the maps will be added to the game just in case you missed a week or more. The last two weeks will be a cooldown period for anyone who still needs to finish.

Now people won't complain about being bored.

I'm fascinated by Egyptian culture and religion, so this would be cool.
