Location and date

What the header says. Any ideas? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 05:21, 9 June 2010 (BST)

Upper left corner, any time. Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others 05:23, 9 June 2010 (BST)
I'm not fussy, somewhere where there is a mixture of survivor and zed presence. Honestly, it'd be cool making it so the second half of the tournament was when the BB3 was in the arena. mMah hah hah. -- 06:03, 9 June 2010 (BST)
North East corner. And soon. The Dulston Alliance are apparantly after Deej's ass so moving around through that lot would really be taking the piss. Fuck 'em, no fears here. Cig.gif ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD | 06:36, 9 June 2010 (BST)

Yeah, umpossible. ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD | 12:24, 9 June 2010 (BST)
Once it starts, you can't step outside the playing area. And I think we'll be lucky to have one of the three malls inside. Really, as DDR, I want variety, and just now the area has everything from green to ghost. --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 12:44, 9 June 2010 (BST)
Definitely North-West corner.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 15:46, 9 June 2010 (BST)

If its in the NW I'll need more time to get there.--Michalesonbadge.pngTCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 23:47, 9 June 2010 (BST)

So, shall we do this the same as all the previous AHMH? 3x3 area? Or shall we kick it up a notch depending on the number of contestants? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 00:04, 10 June 2010 (BST)

We have less than last year, 3x3 is fine for now.--Michalesonbadge.pngTCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 00:07, 10 June 2010 (BST)
Another thing, I'm gonna agree with Misanthropy to put the event in the NW. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 00:08, 10 June 2010 (BST)


OK, nobody really cares much about where or when this Manhunt takes place, so I'll throw in a few areas for you all to decide. Since the playing area will most likely be a 3x3 suburb area, I'm just gonna list the middle suburb. I'll also list some specific reasons for these areas.

  1. Lerwill Heights
  2. Reganbank - No Malls in the area.
  3. West Becktown - Caiger Mall is in the area. Who wouldn't like shooting around a famous mall?
  4. Havercroft - Who wants to shot the monkeys?
  5. Pitneybank - It'll probably be difficult to kill another contestant in Fort Creedy, since it's usually packed.
  6. Judgewood (RenegadeRomero's suggestion. Added here on the list at 01:59, 12 June 2010 (BST))

As for the date, can we all agree on the first of next month? With the event going on for a month? If so, pick an area, quick. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 00:48, 12 June 2010 (BST)

Alternatively, we can start the manhunt earlier than the first. If so, I'm thinking along the lines of the 20th or later. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 01:24, 12 June 2010 (BST)
Option 3 and ASAP --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 01:35, 12 June 2010 (BST)
Centred on Judgewood and starting soon as everyone can get ready. --BOSCH 01:48, 12 June 2010 (BST)
Agreed. Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others 01:50, 12 June 2010 (BST)
The reason I decided West Becktown instead of Judgewood was because I was trying to limit the number of malls in the area to 1. But if you want Judgewood, I'll throw that up there as well. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 01:59, 12 June 2010 (BST)
Judgewood means it's exactly the top left corner. Makes it easier to figure things out. Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others 02:00, 12 June 2010 (BST)
Judgewood sounds good, and there's a tiny chance that Caiger Mall will be active the entire competition, so it might as well be one mall. Oh, and what happens if BB3 makes it all the way to to the manhunt area and ruins it? May 02:27, 12 June 2010 (BST)
I don't think we need to worry too much about the BB3. Some of the contestants here (mainly DDR and Rosslessness) have alts in the BB3. And the Judgewood area also has Calvert Mall. But if every wants the Judgewood area, then it'll be the Judgewood area. As for the date, if everyone wants it ASAP, than we can all pretty much agree to start this manhunt on the 20th. I wanna give everyone a week to get into the area and stock up, so... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 02:35, 12 June 2010 (BST)
The first of July is best IMO, the location is good :D -- 03:42, 12 June 2010 (BST)
Alright, I have an idea on how to settle this starting date thing...Please scroll to the bottom of this page in...3 minutes... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 03:54, 12 June 2010 (BST)

OK, folks. Seeing the number of people signing up for this Manhunt may make the playing area too small. If we hit 20 contestants, I'm gonna increase the size of the playing area from 3x3 to 4x4. And it looks like we're nearing the 20 mark... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 23:46, 16 June 2010 (BST)

OK, well, we have 20 contestants. I think it's time to consider increasing the area to 4x4. Since the original playing area is exactly in the NW corner, increasing the playing area shouldn't be too much a problem. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 00:51, 19 June 2010 (BST)

Well, with 20 in a 3x3, it averages to one person per 45 blocks, as compared to one person per 80 blocks with a 4x4, since 4x4 is almost double the playing area. Maybe a 3x4 or 4x3? It's not quite as drastic and should make finding people something that will happen a bit more regularly. Aichon 01:32, 19 June 2010 (BST)
You also have to consider that about 50% of the area is open space. It's very unlikely that any of the contestants will hide on the streets. Unless, of course, they're dead. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 01:39, 19 June 2010 (BST)
I'm actually planning to hide on the streets for at least part of the time, though I have some good reasons for doing so. Regardless, yeah, I thought about it some more, and if the first one had eight suburbs with six people, then this should be fine. Aichon 02:15, 19 June 2010 (BST)
So 3x4 or 4x3 instead of 4x4? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 17:58, 19 June 2010 (BST)
I was actually agreeing with you that 4x4 should be fine, I think, though others are welcome to disagree, of course. ;) Aichon 21:24, 19 June 2010 (BST)
4x4 sounds good. I've already found giles.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 21:53, 19 June 2010 (BST)
4x4 it is. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 22:45, 19 June 2010 (BST)

technical stuff

I'm assuming only survivor vs. Survivor kills will be counted? And if we head for NW it will be a no malls setup? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 11:53, 9 June 2010 (BST)

Calvert Mall innit? ~ Kempy “YaketyYak” | ◆◆◆ | CAPD | 11:55, 9 June 2010 (BST)
Umm, If you pull off a Zed v Survivor kill I recon you deserve the points, but not Zed v Zed, we outlined none of the latter last tournament. -- 12:08, 9 June 2010 (BST)
Seems fair --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 15:34, 9 June 2010 (BST)
Look, the rules stuff...It's gonna be the same as the first AHMH (with the exception of #5). And I'm thinking extra points for specific types of kills. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 00:02, 10 June 2010 (BST)
This is maybe a silly question, but for the sake of clarity, a survivor killing a contestant zombie earns no points, right? --BOSCH 03:06, 10 June 2010 (BST)
As far as I can see, the only pointless kills are zombie-on-zombie. Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others 03:24, 10 June 2010 (BST)
Ok, I can work with that if everyone else can. --BOSCH 03:48, 10 June 2010 (BST)
I'm pretty sure we outlawed Survivor on Zed cause of killing whilst searching for a revive point etc. I can't remember what we came up with... -- 03:58, 10 June 2010 (BST)
In AHMH2 all kills were fine except zed vs zed, and RP kills. Survivor vs zed was okay: I killed zombie Nick, Nick killed zombie DDR, DDR killed zombie Obi (Malton Manhunt/image ark). --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 09:06, 10 June 2010 (BST)
That's the one. RP kills (RPs being determined by the Suburb map, groups in that suburb or Cemetries etc) shouldn't count, SvZ ones otherwise are fine, yeah? :D -- 10:44, 10 June 2010 (BST)
That's reasonable. So if you happen to catch someone in zombie form on their way to a RP and you can kill their ass you probably deserve the credit. But RPs should def be off limits.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 15:13, 11 June 2010 (BST)

Pointless header

You going to interview us again axey? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 15:54, 9 June 2010 (BST)

Well, I failed for number 2 due to technical problems (PC crashed and was lazy to fix it). If you want me to redo the radio show that I promised for number 2, than sure. I can throw that in. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 23:53, 9 June 2010 (BST)

The rules so far...

  1. No sleeping in Malls. Malls may only be used for resupplying.
  2. You may not enlist the help of anyone not involved in this Manhunt. (ie: Broadcasting on the radio that one of the contestant is KOS.)
  3. Most kills win, whether as a zombie or a survivor. A screenshot must be provided to validate the kill.
  4. No teaming up with other contestants. (ie: Player1 and Player2 may not "tag team" on Player4)
  5. No zerging.
  6. No kills on a contestant will be counted if both players involved was a zombie.
  7. A kill at a Revive Point will not be counted.

Those are your rules so far. Anyone else wanna add something in? Hopefully something worthwhile, not a rule that says you can screw the rules just because you have money...Any new rules you may wish to add must be agreed upon by the other contestants, so no, you cannot just slap it up there. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 01:56, 10 June 2010 (BST)

A Point System

Hey, for this third installation of AHMH, I'm thinking of doing a point system. What I'm thinking is something along the lines of the point system in Super Smash Bros, if you ever played it. So here I am, pitching you guys my idea. If you guys like it, we'll implement this into the rules. Basically, it's the same as the previous installments of AHMH. A kill will score you a point. However, previous installments of AHMH never took into account death count or even reviving an opponent. What I propose is if you get killed, you lose a point. If you get a revive from an opposing contestant, you lose 3 points.

To sum it up:

Killing another contestant: +1
Getting killed by another contestant: -1
Getting revived by another contestant: -3

So, what do you guys think? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 21:09, 10 June 2010 (BST)

Having just been playing SSBB for the past two hours, I like it alot.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 21:14, 10 June 2010 (BST)
I'm also thinking a +2 for a Punch kill... --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 21:16, 10 June 2010 (BST)
Personally, I don't like the revied by other contestant loss, it seemes to me that it takes away some of the point of a manhunt as you are rewarding points for non-combatant things.--Michalesonbadge.pngTCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 21:22, 10 June 2010 (BST)
Well, technically you don't get a + for reviving. I just put that in there as another way to attack the others points. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 21:25, 10 June 2010 (BST)
But getting found by your enemy at a revive point should have negative consequences. Since RP kills are disallowed, this allows a way to get back at your opponent, but they benefit. The benefit is hence weighed out by the heavy loss in points.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 21:26, 10 June 2010 (BST)
Aw. Not a fan, I'm afraid. I also tried thinking of variations before, but in the end I decided I really like counting just kills, and this being about who's the most efficient killer. No shenanigans, a game for Real Men. And Susan :D Saying that, I won't oppose, I'll play by any rules you peeps choose, so don't let me spoil the fun :") --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 21:39, 10 June 2010 (BST)
That's why this topic is here. To see if anyone likes it. If no one likes it, we'll stick to the original rules of the previous AHMHs. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 21:46, 10 June 2010 (BST)
I agree. A game for real men. But DDR can still play. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 23:11, 10 June 2010 (BST)
Well, by the looks of it, everyone hates the idea. Let's throw this out than, and burn it with fire. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 23:50, 10 June 2010 (BST)
I would liek a points system too Axe.

Here's my propousal:

Killing another "living" contestant: +2
Killing another "dead" contestant: +1
Getting killed by another contestant: -1
Getting killed by another "dead" contestant: -3
Kills with punches, toolboxes and other cool stuff: +0.5

That way guys with better kpds and whatever can win not just the guy wth most kills.--Obi + Talk!|TZH|MDK 21:21, 16 June 2010 (BST)

Well...We already tossed out the point system idea. =/ --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 01:24, 19 June 2010 (BST)

July 1st

  1. i'd actually prefer it to start after Biertag but I won't push my luck. -- 04:11, 12 June 2010 (BST)
    Um...How about we change the rules a little? Any kills with a Wine/Beer bottle on that date is worth double? Would that work? --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 04:16, 12 June 2010 (BST)
    I was thinking it over and I have a better idea. How about a 5-day ceasefire period? From July 6th-10th, we can issue a ceasefire, giving everyone some time to find revives and resupply. During this time period, it should be enough time for you to make it to Biertag and back. Of course, we'll extend the Manhunt by 5 days to make up for the killings lost during this ceasefire period. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs (status:Mudkip!) 05:12, 12 June 2010 (BST)
    What happens if I accidently kill someone in the ceasefire? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 11:22, 15 June 2010 (BST)
    Dunno. Either way, I don't want a ceasefire, it breaks flow, I'm happy to send an alt to Biertag. -- 11:36, 15 June 2010 (BST)
    I agree with DDR a ceasefire would break the flow of the manhunt--ZIPO/Talk/◆◆/CAPD 11:55, 15 June 2010 (BST)

    Technically, voting was suppose to be over yesterday. But, as you can see, counting up the votes isn't gonna be a problem. It looks like the 1st will mark the start.

What the fuck is this 4x4 rubbish?

I go away for two days to a wedding with a free bar and this happens?

We had 20 "contestants" last time round and had no problem with 3x3. RL always means some jokers will have to pull out. We want concentrated death, not Urban wandering.

I fear I may still be drunk. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 18:35, 20 June 2010 (BST)

It's change, change is coming--Michalesonbadge.pngTCAPD(╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻ 19:20, 20 June 2010 (BST)
I'm not so sure about 4x4 either, although I have no experience of how these hunts play out, and I haven't done the maths. 3x3 equals the most action, surely? And 3 down and 4 across would be a good compromise (but then I'm biased against Dunell Hills...) --BOSCH 19:48, 20 June 2010 (BST)

No, but really, I hadn't thought of it but Ross has a point. AHMH2 had indeed 20 people in. There were 43 kills total, bit over one a day, which is good entertainment. I think there's no need to make it slower. --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 21:30, 20 June 2010 (BST)
I think you'll find that a lot of AHMH2's contestants were inactive, unfortunately, so the 40 kills was actually a well-rounded amount for the amount of people ACTUALLY playing, so maybe 20 actual contestants would bog it up, dunno, I don't mind this 4x4 stuff, but it's up to AH to choose/vote I guess. -- 03:06, 21 June 2010 (BST)
1x1 for total chaos :D. Seriously! --Obi + Talk!|TZH|MDK 15:51, 21 June 2010 (BST)
Lulz. And yeah DDR, it does look like it'll have more action, this one B) If it's put up to a vote, I'd vote 3x3, but I'm good with 4x4. --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 19:20, 21 June 2010 (BST)
Alright, a few things. First, DDR is correct. AHMH2 never actually had 20 contestants since many weren't active during the hunt (myself included). Second, 20 contestants may seem like there'll be a lot of action in a 3x3 area, but by putting it on 4x4, I'm putting more emphasis on the "hunt" part of manhunt. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 02:49, 23 June 2010 (BST)
So, yea. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm promoting hunting. If the field is cluttered, everyone will most likely be running into each other left and right. When the field is not cluttered, you need to use your instincts (or luck...) and hunt down your targets, using only the hints given on their kill shots. There's only so many paths a target can take after killing. ;) --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 02:52, 23 June 2010 (BST)
Yeah, I think 4x4 is well worth a go! -- 03:06, 23 June 2010 (BST)
Cushty. Here, I made a map. --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 20:05, 26 June 2010 (BST)
Awesome, thanks! I was intending to splice a map of the Manhunt area together for myself over the weekend, but you've made it reality sooner, cheers. --BOSCH 20:12, 26 June 2010 (BST)
Yvw :) Note that in Firefox you can select, from the browser menu bar: View -> Page Style -> Free-running lanes. That's useful when hunting people. One of these days I'll get around to making it sticky... --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 20:39, 26 June 2010 (BST)
Actually, I just went ahead and added the feature, you may have to reload, there should be a wee toggle below the map, and the free-run highlight style should be persistent now, in this and all DSS maps. I'm slightly drunk and dizzy, I hope I didn't break anything :/ Very happy, tho :) --Sophie ◆◆◆ CAPD 01:36, 27 June 2010 (BST)

I'm assuming we're going to be posting kills here under a new header when things start, ala AHMH2. As far as odds? I give 2:1 odds on any of the newcomers, 6:1 odds on Rosslessness & Hashk, 7:1 on DDR, and 32:1 odds on Axe Hack placing in the top 6 (100:1 on him winning).

Just my two cents but I think it's late to be changing the rules. There may very well be a few players who don't sign in again until the hunt begins. If the playing area is going to change, you'd better let us know really soon so we can make sure we're within the designated area before tommorow. --Hibernaculum 14:32, 30 June 2010 (BST)

Well, it wouldn't be the first time we changed the playing area size. In AHMH1, we knocked out 1 suburb just about mid-way through the hunt because one of the contestants had an alt stuck in a group war in that one suburb. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 14:51, 30 June 2010 (BST)

Six hours to go

I have a few (mostly insignificant) questions to ask, namely:

  • How do we report kills? What's the format? Where do we post it? Are we allowed to hide details or not? Screenshots or witness programs?
  • Is there a chat we can use... I realise we're not going to be coordinating at all, but a place to shoot the breeze whilst we shoot each other might be nice/fun/interesting/distracting/a thoroughly stupid idea?
  • What's it been like in the past with third-parties who view the kills? Have they reported them? Stepped in? Is any explanation necessary?
  • Are we using revive points as listed on individual suburb maps as the definitive list of where to get Mrh'd/where not to get shot as a zambah?
  • Crucially, what's the playing area?
  • And finally, not a question, but I made a tinyurl that fits in the link section of a character profile, thought I'd share: http://tinyurl.com/axehacksmaltonmanhunt3
