Welcome to Malton's First Player Killer Olympic Games!
The Player Killer community of Malton has raised the act of homocide to an art form such as humanity has never seen in its history. Let us no longer be deprived of sport by virtue of quarantine and the presence of the fetid undead. This September, the Player Killer community will gather in diabolical competition to learn who among our number are the best of the best at executing execution.
Across the city, over a multitude of organized events, Malton's Player Killers will have the opportunity to prove their mettle in the homicidal arts, and many, many innocent residents of the city will perish for our sport. Join your fellow psychopathic athletes in a quest for citywide recognition as one of the greatest at what you do - assassinating the cringing cattle that cowers in fear of the rotten hordes. Demonstrate yet again that in the face of our unpleasant infestation, that something beautiful can be created through destruction.
SOLICITING INPUT -- ENDS SUNDAY 8/31/08
This wiki page, the rules, the structure - nothing here is completely final. We've gotten to the point where we're ready to share it with the rest of the PK'er community.
Please follow this link: Forum, or you can reply on the discussion page here on the wiki to let us know you'd like to participate (as a group or individual) to make comments or suggestions or say whatever you want.
We've spent a great deal of time asking lots of folks about the rules and ideas. There are is at least one event yet to flesh out. The main idea has been SIMPLE and VERIFYABLE - so keep that in mind when you're making suggestions.
Thanks!--Squid Boy
The Malton Player Killer Olympic Torch Relay
Lit from the sacred fire in Stanbury Village at the source of the outbreak, the Torch of the 2008 Player Killer Olympiad is on the move! Look for a PK'er carrying the official PKO Torch starting NOW. Be sure to cheer our athletes on as the torch makes its way through YOUR suburb!!
How to participate in the torch relay:
Whereever you are in Malton, if you are a PK'er (or want to be), simply successfully attack a survivor with the fuel and flare option, say something about the olympics, and submit the screenshot or iWitness at our forum. We will make a page that tracks the torch's progress across the city. Let's light up the town people in the run-up to the opening ceremonies!
Survivors are just burning to get in on the action!
Opening Ceremonies
Soon, at a location to be announced later, Player Killers from all corners of Malton will congregate to kick off these august proceedings. A spectacular extravaganza is planned, sure to entertain one and all. Stay tuned to this space for more information and details.
  
How do I Join the Competition?
- Recite the PKO Oath out loud.
- Each week, a certain number of events will be announced, with accompanying parameters for each event.
- Choose the event(s) in which you wish to compete
- Equip and prepare yourself for the competition.
- Perform the tasks required for the event – e.g. Kill people.
- Take the required iWitness reports shots of you performing the event
- Submit the iWitness reports to the PKOC for evaluation
- Await your rank based on all submissions
- Accept medal if appropriate.
Individual events will take place within specific windows of time. During the time window, you will need to decide which events you care to participate in, and equip yourself appropriately. The windows will be devised in hopes that the largest possible number of people will have the ability to perform to their highest potential, given adequate time to prepare and execute a submission for medals.
Team events will take place at scheduled times, determined to work best for the majority of players. A team that does not show up to a scheduled team event with the required number of players, will forfeit that game.
Teams can be any combination of players from any group or groups, and large groups can field multiple teams.
Who is running the Games?
The idea came from Malton's largest Player Killer group, Red Rum, but input shall be solicited for a specified duration prior to the games from the entire player killer community, and nominees from groups will be selected to serve as member of the Player Killer Olympic Committee (PKOC), who will serve as arbiters of all rules, and judges of all events. Watch this space for more details.
Is this another DEM Pancake?
No. It's a fun idea, it's been carefully planned, and you should hush up and join the fun. The rules have been designed to allow the greatest flexibility possible, and should result in a staggering body count across Malton for the duration of the Games.
Notes for Squid - THIS SECTION WILL DISAPPEAR
- Need thorough text proof of every page
- Need EVERYONE to help publicize
- Need to choose members of the PKOC leadership committee, and seek volunteers to be observers
- "Period of soliciting input" ends SUNDAY.
- Folks need time to prepare for opening ceremonies.
Thanks first and formost to Blackmatter for his help with the logo, and the creation of the medals. Thanks to the creators of the original Red Rum page, to Vigeous, to Lemonhead, to Grim_S the Condescending, Amber, Bisfan, Wasted Wallaby, many other folks in IRC, and to pages all over the wiki from which I cobbled code together to make this page, and used to bounce rule logic off.--Squid Boy
