We did some fun "testing" of Cat and Mouse and have the following rules updates:

Concept:
The individual named MOUSE avoids the Cats!

How to Play:
* Quest Conditions are employed. All Cats and the Mouse Signup.
* Quest Begins: the Mouse gets a thirty second head start. Countdown is provided for the Cats.
* Quest Continues until Mouse is caught or Cats run out of time.


Clarifications:
* The Mouse MAY NOT stay in Solitary / Private / Safe rooms.
* the Mouse MAY NOT hide behind locked doors / in locked areas.
* the Mouse MAY NOT quaff recall/Summon/Teleport/etc to escape no exit rooms. They are considered Trapped, and must wait out the quest duration, or a Cat finding them.
* The Zone or Room name of the Mouse will be announced by the sponsoring Immortal of that game, as often as possible, at minimum every 30 seconds.
* The Mouse is considered 'found' and 'tagged' when a Cat engages them in
combat, initiates emoted or socialed contact, Faerie Fogs, or area spells,
etc. That Cat then becomes the next Mouse, and gets a 30 second lead
to escape and be chased.
* the mouse MAY use Guild portals to duck in and out of home towns.
* the mouse MAY use the vortex.
* Obscure, Invis, Sneak, Hide are all legal by Cats or Mice.
* Summon, Darkness, Portal, Teleport by any participants or their immortals are NOT legal.
* Participants MAY NOT wizard mark one another.
* Immortals MAY NOT teleport or otherwise assist Cats or Mice with hunting or hiding.
* Mice may not lock themselves into rooms or zones to avoid capture.
* The safety of the Mouse is not guaranteed, or that of the Cats. Quest conditions will be in place, but strange things sometimes happen. Play at your own risk.
* Any Cat or Mouse that violates a rule is ejected from the game.

Prizes:
There will be a prize for each mouse who survives to the end of the round.

I'm supposing quest restrictions are put in place to eliminate debt/pk potential?

[Cordir]

Yes: Some folks were specifically saying they were NOT participating, just so they could PK and get around the whole 'Hey, please be cool and don't PK during my games' thing.

Also, for the Cat & Mouse games, because there's specifically combat involved, that's why I wanted to make sure folks debt/justifications don't get all messed up.

[Cordir]

Info on Cat & Mouse and Bug Hunt are now on the Wiki. I'll be using that from now on as the 'official' spot for any rules changes.

Over the weekend, ran two quests: The Quest of Fire and the Quest of Water. Both were individual quests, and were completed by Kylor (water) and Ridley (Fire). The prizes were items created a long time ago by Molo, which, to my knowledge, have never been given out. Look for the Quest of Earth and Quest of Air, coming soon.

To: All Who Dare
Guardian has laid waste to many an adventurer during the Bug Hunts.
No one has been able, thus far, to withstand her fangs and claws. At
Noon, System time, tomorrow, I will set her in the arena. Any group
of up to five individuals who wishes to take her on, may attempt to.
Any who succeed, will gain a reward.

"Tomorrow" being Sunday.

The team of Linkin, Pein, Soloban, Daisy, and Rath demolished their way through not only my Guardian Spider, but also Lanae. They asked for more challenges: the third, brought them all low in a matter of 4 rounds: The Sable Dragon. Undaunted and in good humor, they asked to fight Scar -- and again, won. Thank you, gentlemen, for your good sportsmanship and effort in this quest.

[Pein]

Let the records show that Daisy is a woman, not a gentleman.

[Anduin]

me, Ridley, Ozzy, and Waylin beat the guardian during that demon/dragon/arch mob quest... congratz on being the SECOND group to do it guys/Daisy!!!

[Pein]

We never claimed to be the first. We only claim to be the coolest, and the judges rule in our favour.

[Cordir]

Erm. The Guardian you guys fought probably wasn't *my* guardian... because I was inactive during that time. And if it somehow *was* *my* guardian... she was a fraction of her current self.
