Many Comps w/ Torn 2 day Events - Idea Competition

Can be run anytime - a short dump search X amount over 2 days and the sell value or a previous market value of the combined haul used to determine the winers This will also stop people with deep pockets pushing up item values up
 
July for attacking - Bounty hunt, on a bunch of inactive get participants to place a random numbered bounty and claim as many as possible, can be placed across all ranges of levels so everyone can join in and restrict attacks to +/- 10(?) levels to stop the easy ones being hovered up at the start of the event.

*edit for spelling as its late*

You could do the hunting day event by most trips taken to SA?

Recruit a bunch of crimes 1.0 players to commit drive-by shootings and the first active player to get run over wins a prize? Maybe also the successful (fail) on the drive-by also gets a smaller prize?

Yeah I'm editing this but I don't need the reward for ideas lol.

Lowest quality weapon received from the mission shop? (Or highest, but they're supposedly high quality so lowest quality is funnier)

For blood bag day, you could do the highest kill rate per dmg dealt ratio for the day? (aka sniping people stronger than you who just bloodbagged themselves lol) Or most kills in a damage range getting a portion of the prize pool. Say, most people killed with 1-10 dmg per kill gets 1st place, most people killed with 11-20 dmg second place, etc.

For world population day, or really whenever, you could do who gains and who loses the most elo rating over the course of a day.

it would be fun having a nudist weekend (most unarmored fights won)

and also if you want to make it fair for all players you can disqualify anyone who uses boosters and eggs

Most races won maybe

An idea would be to do the competition as an Olympiad with a specific location to travel and cultural stuff related to gather as well and change each year.

I'm thinking of all sorts of things with this, not sure yet about showing proof but I like the ideas

I read all of these, and I think there's some good stuff to go off of here.

Combining a couple options, I think the World Tourism day jumped out to me first:

I definitely like the idea of a rat race, mixed with a hunt. At the start of the tournament, everyone needs to start in Torn. At the go, everyone can fly to any country they like. In 3-5 random countries, you place some volunteers to be found. If you do 5 per country, that's 15-25 volunteers to be found. Once you found the right profile, there will be something on it that is a clue. I think the about me section is ideal for putting a couple hints. Maybe "someone else on my team has an eyepatch". Once you have found what you could, you head back and can try another country. Have this over a period of 10-12 hours to give people chances at multiple countries, but to also keep the competition short and sweet.

Most correct finds wins. Maybe it's a team duos affair. Maybe there are extra things sneakily hidden on the volunteers. Like a secret menu for bonus points. The minimum level becomes 15 and anyone can play.

I also agree with the trash idea, and I think we can use it for beer day. I know there was a guy that threw tons of soccer balls in the trash and asked people to find them for a tournament. I think we should drop like 2k beers in the trash, and see how many each person could find. Would be limited to the registered participants only, and would need to be the beer dropped by __ . Most beers found in a certain period of time would be the winner. 

Best and worst ROI at bookie could be fun.  Might want to have a few different weight classes for total amount wagered over the two days, e.g. 10m 100m 1b 10b 100b

Suggestion 5: June - Blood Donor Day - Bloody arena. Leagues are formed depending on the BS. At the beginning, the value of meditems used by each participant is recorded.  Each player then fills the empty blood bags until they have less than 10% health.  Then the arena begins. Players attack other players in their league until only one remains.  Revive and healing yourself means elimination from the game.  Winners in each league receive prizes. Everything can be easily verified.

I think you're jumping the gun by creating more threads about competitions regardless of their content when you haven't even started and finished the first competition. With so many players signed up it surely won't be easy to organise it all.

Finish the first competition, have a successful event, let people see you're a good event organizer and then discuss whatever you want to do for the next competition.

What about a UFC Torn Gang Fights

- Have teams of 3 or 5 of the same faction to have a display from the atacks.

- Arrange forum pages for braquet stats, with people not doing happy jumps for the duration of the contest maybe (if they go beyond their stat braket instant discualification), with diferent dates for diferent divisions to avoid overload, could be arrange many ways.

-Teams got to declare who is the tank an who is the sidekick, first team on to post against the second to post. 

- Defeating a tank gives you a point.

- 2 rounds of 3 or 4 atacks minimum (maybe) on each round, to win a round you got to ahead 1 point.

- Tipe of weapons and temps would be limited to make it more balanced.

-The start time of the atacks it`s agreed by the parts and it starts by the tanks, first round of atacks tank A can only atack tank B and Tank B can`t atack nobody, 3 min brake for healing time and strategy talk between fights, every one execept defendant tank got one atack.

The atacking tank A it`s the real one starting the fight, (this comeing part coud be aranged many ways to help push strategy in diferent directions that I`m not sure about) the defending sidekicks B can`t  tank A the first 20 secs but they can atack sidekicks A as soon as tank A starts the atack, sidekicks A as soon as tank A atacks can join the fight or atack sickiks B, diferent options diferent results :)

The idea of this event would be focus on learning about group atacks and the choice of stats on gym gains and it`s effects on a fight.

Coud be made like a league to have several fights or something easyer like a one off tipe page to meet up for group fights on similar stats range.

Thanks for creating a cool event everyone involved!! ;) 

hmm i like the idea of something around people learning how to do better with different types of group attacks and such... thinking on how we could do this fairly -- in some capacity if not exactly what's above -- 

If it's not limited to Torn activities alone perhaps for world beer day you could do beer can art?  Either they pixelate an image having to do with a Torn theme and turn beer cans into the pixels, or maybe cut cans up and make something out of the can. Leave it Torn themed by making it items one would expect to find in Torn. 

continuing on that sort of idea, maybe world tiger day could be a csmoflauge yourself for hunting?  So maybe photos of gilly suits or tiger costumes? Or maybe just an old fashioned safari outfit?  

So around november i'm wanting to do contest stuff involving art but with that i have a broader idea of what i want to do....

for the smaller events i don't want to try to judge contests, i mean people could do that just for fun but not as a competition... i dunno... i don't like the idea of some getting mad or trying to figure out if ai was used etc etc... When staff does it they have an actual team that judges things, I'd have to find a team because i'm not doing it alone... but i dunno... i like the thought but not the judging.. 

Note: apologies if I miss credit people's ideas I have expanded on.

Hopefully some of these ideas meet what you're looking for or can help lead to even better ideas!

World Blood Donor Day (Life/Cooldown Halved):

This one's hard...maybe most blood pumped and dumped during the event? Pump and Dump! 

Copy and post the logs of drawing blood and trashing it.

Possibly selling it. 

Winners for most drawn, most sold, most dumped?

One downfall here is cost for newer players.

World Population Day (Attacking Exp. Doubled):

Most bounties claimed

Highest total $ earned collecting Bounties

Most bounties placed

Highest total $ placed on bounties

Clues to who to place or collect bounties from, most successful for each or first to complete wins.

World Tiger Day ( Hunting 5x Exp):

This would be a good one to run a scavenger competition that could include those not hunting(mentioned in an earlier post by Robberhood)

Most times mugged in SA

Most people mugged in SA

World Beer Day (Beer 5x Effective):

(Kinggoose idea posted first - expanding on it) - You (BrandyQHQ) dump 100-5k beer and players post if they find them - Could be prizes for any beer found, 10+ beers found, and most beers found. Not sure how fast dump items enter circulation. Maybe ask staff if this would work, or extend ending to 1 week out?

Tourism Day (Travel Capacity Doubled):

Most variety of locations visited

Most trips to each location

clues/puzzle to solve to find which item/items to buy abroad, post log of buying it once time is up - could be run over entire 3 days or shorter mini comps

Other Competition Ideas:

When it comes to tracking some of these that are technically spread over roughly 3 days, if Omanpx could make a similar spreadsheet to the current leaderboard, but include each 6 or 12 hour interval you could award based on best X hours gains, or could just track all 3 days as a cumulative. 

Torn Market Sweep:

Example: Buy 1 kitten plushie, 1 nodding turtle, and 1 bikini

You could pick one item from each destination, or each store. Could even leave it open to buy 1 item from every torn store. Might want to list them and get input on the list before actually starting. 

Find the odd item:

(KingGoose idea posted first - expanding on it - Dumping specific items like an axe with 48% quality that a person could trade with you for the prize could be a neat contest for other events too)

Drop 50+ items in the dump - like leather gloves - track a specific quality and see who finds it. Though may disappear to people unaware of contest

Fill the Dump:

Everyone interested counts to the 25th item down in their all items inventory and drops 1 or all of those items in the dump (obviously miscount if the item has sentimental value or is more than 1% of your net worth, then skip down 1 item at a time until you're ok with it)

Also, here's an idea for bracketing players for competitions:

Bracketing players by days played and net worth

For instance:

(Names pulled from competition and put in order from high to low age)

Sonicboom - 6,110 days - Net - 50.4b

Steven - 5819 days - Net - 35.5b

 Omanpx - 3,347 days - Net - 29.9b

Grabowski - 2,310 days - Net - 46.2b

Robberhood - 1,749 - Net - 22.5b

Emarlite - 1,635 days - Net - 16.8b

Ata - 1,547 days - Net - 23.4b

Monosect - 795 days - Net - 33m

Judith - 584 days - Net - 21.6b

S1mplekill - 436 days - Net - 1.5b

BrandyQHQ - 434 days - Net - 5.2b

Daveyboy27 - 178 days - Net - $750

Sumdumpunk - 95 days - Net - 175m

Nahtanos - 64 days - Net - 375m

Garlanator - 43 days - Net - 79m

Lava - 34 Days - Net - 2.6b

Iyvy - 13 days - Net - 42m

So we have Age brackets something like:

0-100 Days - Sumdumpunk, Nahtanos, Garlanator, Lava, Ihvy

101-500 days - S1mplekill, BrandyQHQ, Daveyboy27

500-1000 - Monosect, Judith

1000-2000 - Robberhood, Emarlite, Ata

2000-4000 - OmanPX, Grabowski

4000+ - Sonicboom, Steven

And we have Net Worth brackets:

0-10m - Daveyboy27

11-100m - Monosect, Garlanator, Ihvy

101-500m - Sumdumpunk, Nahtanos

501m-1b

1b-5b - S1mplekill, Lava

5b-20b - Emarlite, BrandyQHQ

20b+ - Sonicboom, Steven, Omanpx, Grabowski, Robberhood, Judith, Ata

Obviously arbitrary numbers and you could always ask for a general consensus on where to draw the lines, but this gives a framework for making the challenges more fair and less *she/he who has the most knowledge/money wins*

It also often pits people against different groups giving players more chances to win

Similarly:

Fighting competitions could potentially be bracketed by the community by how many xanax/ecstasy taken or days played

The staff could do it this way:

Have individual fighting brackets with cost to enter creating a prize pool. Have divisions based on total stats or similar. Run weekly or monthly. Could be similar to racing only more actively involved. Or have it automatic like racing. 

Though I do not know how much work this would actually be to implement, nor how it would be received.
