Events Planning - Brainstorming Thread

you got it lily.
1. Sheep shearing race where you must get as much wool as you can before time runs out2-4
...
How about those idea's?

Massive amounts of any animal, sheep especially since the sheared wool also adds to the amount of objects rendered, will lag many less fortunate of the graphics cards if not the whole server itself. The sheep arena has had these problems before and we had to make precautions against it. If you are planning a mosh pit of sheep for the participants to rapidly click through to win, this will be an issue.
To avoid this, I suggest making a non-narrow-passaged grass-floored maze (city, pasture or normal maze) with sheep scattered through it (not enough to lag severely, but enough to warrent rushing around finding new sheep rather than waiting for the same one to replenish wool) and let participants run wild through it. A narrow passaged maze might work, but would make it less about the sheep and more about the maze. Really any map that brings more focus into the hunting and finding of sheep rather than spam clicking shears on sheep is the suggestion. Double checking over your post seems to tell me you thought of this as a suggestion already, though you think of it as single player where my version would be focused on the wool rather than luring sheep to the end.

@lily a similar idea would be to give each participant a certain color dye and see who can color the most sheep of the same stock (dye being able to color over already dyed sheep). Similar competitiveness without the need of a too massively large sheep pile. Kinda like the paint mini-game from mario party 9. The obvious negative to this suggestion is that there are only fifteen dyes so only fifteen people could play it ...luckily and sadly I doubt more than that will be logged on at the same time. Is the events world creative? That would make supplying the dyes easier.
