An idea for an event based on Shinarae's 3 factions from Deso, Luce and Roth.

Essentially the war between the three factions has grown heated as they each
try to gain a foothold on the continent of Laenor. All three factions are
trying to develope a port on the continent while preventing the other 2 from
doing the same.

During a set period of time (2 weeks tm.) the amount of favour that players
gain is tallied up. Whoever the players support the most after the duration,
gains a chance at building up their new outworld port.

There could also be additional means to gain points for factions by adding
kill tasks to eliminate troops from opposing factions. These could be preset
tasks or simply random troops are spawned in outworld and whoever decides
to track them down can gain a bit more favour.

Once the basics of the port has been developed, there can be periodic defend
the base missions in which opposing troops try to stop construction while
players try to protect them.

Once the event has run its course, there should be a newly accessible port
of the appropriate faction. This area should offer a bit more in terms of
bonuses or services that are in keeping with that particular faction.
As an idea, there could be a list of larger possible benefits that can be
bought with a mudwide donation of favour. That is, if 50k favour is given
by the whole mud.. the bonus is unlocked.

Balancing this event is a non-issue in that the daily tasks have already been
tested to make sure there are options for everyone. Rather than come up with
an untested idea and try to make it work for everyone, it's taking something
that has already been balanced and attempt to expand upon it.

Although this does place a bit of work on the coder.. in that he'd have to
build essentially 3 possible outcomes and descriptions for the port.. IT
does make an event that the players have an impact on. IT also builds upon
the lore of the 3 Factions.. which can be expanded upon at a later date.
In a perfect world, it would be a repeatable event after a set duration..
(yearly?) which would keep players curious about the possible benefits of
each version of the port. If the mudwide favour benefits were large enough..
there could be encouragement to support your faction in the long term.

off the top of my head.. possibility to hire specific animals for bmaster
from a specialized breeding farm.. possibility to train a new skill, spell
under a specific master. etc.. up to the imagination of the coder.


Rough idea... added to bullshit because. well.. that's what i always do.
I've already pitched the idea to a couple players and received encouragement
to post it here. so here it is.
