Whack-a-hearthling:
for 2/4 players or teams

put a hearthfire in the center of a field
for 2 players or teams, divide the field into two with a fence, with the hearthfire in the center
for 4 players or teams, divide the field into quarters with a fence, with the hearthfire in the center

each player or team takes position on their half or quarter of the field
at a set time, the hearth secret for the hearthfire is announced on public irc
after a set amount of time, the player or team with the most extinguished hearthfires on their side of the field wins (accomplished by killing hearthlings that spawn on your side)
Points are deducted for lit, green hearthfires on your side

I've heard about this pk lp, i assume it is based on how much lp the victim has gained in their lifetime?

Oh, and a sort of gladiatorial arena would be pretty awesome, tho not necessarily set up like this. The only thing I can think of is to set up a large brickwall area with a village totem in the center. As far as I understand if you destroy your hf then your village idol works like a hf with you being able to teleport there anytime. Never tried it tho. But anyway you set that totem up in the middle, and anyone who wants to come to the free for all pms the guys running the arena to get invited to the village. Then they destroy their hf and port in (you could perhaps set up things so that new people are added the village only one day of the week, saturday or sunday maybe, so that there was at least one day a week when you were liable to find a fracas). So then every Saturday a bunch of people show up, slaughter each other, and then the winner (or winners if somebody set upa little teamwork) get reinvited to their village and destroy their fires to get back home.

Unless the village port thing doesn't work, I could see this being quite fun The guys running it would have quite a big brickwall to maintain, but they'd also probably get a good deal of loot once all was said and done, since the last man standing probably isn't gonna be able to carry off all the weapons and armor of the rest. You could help ensure this by denuding the whole area of forest so they couldn't build any type of containers and just denying reentry to anyone who ports in with a container (the benefit for the contestant is mostly lp and first pick of whatever loot they can stuff into inventory). Also if lp gain is based offa something you do with the skeleton or body (and it would be EXTREMELY awesome if you had to eat the person to gain the lp, with the option to butcher them and all the meat together providing some fraction of their total lp) then the event organizers could end up with quite a lot of free lp that the contestants simply couldn't cart off. I imagine it will be just an instant lp gain, but even so you're talking a lot of loot and lulz.

I really think something like this would be awesome I dunno if I would be competing for a while (a long long long while hehe) but it'd be fun to watch for the luls. You'd have to have trees bordering the area for spectators to hide behind tho hehe.

Oh man i really want to set something like this up. I might would if i was more out in the boonies where someone was less likely to come and wreck it, maybe out somewhere near a good mountain (because a mountain top would be the perfect place to put it, imo, not to mention made of pure epic). Does the village idol teleport really always work if you have no hf or was i misinformed? And where is the info about lp for pk? I have heard a lot of people talking about it but never actually seen the original comments from the devs.
