Mayhem Motel: Temporary Help Wanted, Halloween, Seasonal

[Herah]

Ghosts, goblins and witches that go bump in the night, we return to Mayhem Motel in search of a fright. Werewolves, vampyri, and zombies out in full view, may bring out new costumes and salvage for you. Banners and Rikti and Zombies, what fun, we'll continue the mayhem 'til the dawning of the sun.

 

 

Mayhem Motel is currently hiring for numerous positions.

 

Management (League Leads) : Ideal candidates will have good working familiarity with managing a full league. This includes monitoring teams to ensure a current lvl 50 team lead for each team. Multi-boxing is discouraged unless there is need for an additional lvl 50 team anchor/return teleporter. 

 

Front Desk Staff (Team Leads) : Ideal candidates are lvl 50. Team leads are encouraged to add members to their teams if they have space. Teams leads are the level anchor for their team. If you are logging or alting, please request an additional lvl 50 be added to your team to be promoted to your place. We request that team leads max out their settings at +4 x8 to get the highest level mobs from disturbed guest rooms. League leaders are unable to move player positions within a team, so make sure to promote.

 

Tour Guides (GM Scouts) : Ideal candidates will have at least 1 level of Incandescence Invocation (Only 60 incarnate threads). This is a league-wide teleport so that the entire league (+/-) can be moved from location to location. Scouts will be provided with flight plan if unfamiliar with the route. An additional tour guide will be necessary to return and greet guests at Mayhem Motel. Several tour guides can be used to hunt islands and town proper. Eochai and Jack in Irons outside of Croatoa offer different badges for the event, plus 6 reward merits for each 'arrest'. Also taking out the Unseelie Court is a separate badge.

 

Concierge People Movers : Ideal candidates will have at least 1 level of Incandescence Invocation. Independent of GM scouting, the league will require multiple People Movers to have Incan for the Deadly Apocalypse (Banners). Preferably we will have 5 separate characters with Incan, one for each banner and one to scout for the Greater Mystic Aspect. Teleporters are also supremely helpful when getting into rotation for Zombies/Rikti invasions to keep spawn rates high.

 

Motel Turn Down Service (Trick or Treaters) : Ideal candidates will need to be on Blue Side and transportation to Peregrine Island. Any level is accepted. Management requests that if a team loses their lvl 50 anchor and one is present on your team, please promote them to Team lead. If there is not, calmly move towards management and request a lvl 50 be shifted to your team to anchor. If the guest with the team star isn't sure what to do, please kindly explain. League leaders are unable to move player positions within a team, so please promote if you can. Ask if you can't. Madness and Mayhem are highly encouraged. 

 

 

General requests from Mayhem Motel :

• The morgue (hospital) is conveniently located across the street from Mayhem Motel for ease of resurrection.
  • Although we request that you do not hit on the nurses, they're working hard enough. You can head there to sell off salvage, recipes, and enhancements. 
• Guests waiting to check into Mayhem Motel are asked to be patient. When the league takes off, it gets full quickly. Guests are generally added in the order requested. (So make sure to ask in local or broadcast) Spots will only be held if asked for and the new guest name provided. No one is being purposely ignored, I pinky promise.
• Guests currently lodging at Mayhem Motel are requested to have one party per room. Multiboxing is discouraged when the league is full (excepting when requiring an additional lvl 50 team anchor/return teleporter).
• Management pursues all events as they happen, generally speaking. If we do not, it's mainly d/t league lead's unfamiliarity with how we typically play out a particular event. Zombie Apocalypse or Rikiti invasions will make liberal use of Incandescence Invocation. Typically these invasions happen in the parking lot in front of Portal Corp. Management understands that the practice of 'Incan in Place' is annoying, however this keeps aggro and spawn rates high, but also to keep the invaders away from the drones. (Teleport prompt can be placed if you want, but the more people that move with each TP, the better this works.) Beatings will continue until invaders get tired.
• Management is not responsible for zone caps. As this event has become more popular over the years, it's possible that a particular instance of PI will cap out. 
• Management encourages the use of complimentary holiday costumes provided the great city of Paragon in order to be gifted with Whispered Rumors tips. Management, however, will not be hosting any side excursions for Whispered Rumors. You may feel free to drop and pursue this independently or with a team, but guests will be subject to waiting in turn to rejoin the league. Having a Tip Team within the league is too problematic for the league play in general.
• The XP bug continues to lovingly be an ongoing 'feature'. (I luv you devs, I swear) If your XP seems low, ask to be moved to a different team (if space), or ask to drop and get re-invited. 
• If you have the You Cannot Enter box open on your screen it can prevent you from seeing the teleport prompt screen (if enabled). You can turn off TP prompt if you like to make sure you don't miss out on any of the 'fun'?
• If you need to be AFK briefly please let management know. Prolonged or frequent AFK will be kicked to make room for active players. It's only fair.
• We might try our hand at running this on Red Side again. If I can remember where that spot was that I found last year or if anyone knows of a good spot with tons of doors.

 

Community requests:

• Please be kind and patient with league leaders. Some folks that are in charge of the league might be old hand and some may be in process of getting their training wheels off. Running the league, managing zone events, adding/removing 47 players is a challenge. It's the Golden Rule for a reason, treat others as you wish to be treated.
• Homecoming continues to add new players all of the time. Not everyone is familiar, or has ever participated, with the ToT league. We try our best to explain but we never turn down an upstanding hero or villain willing to help explain or show someone the ropes. Also, don't be afraid to ask, Torchbearer is a super amazing shard with lots of nice people with 'happy feelings'.
• When you're out on Monkey Island, make sure to drown some AOE attacks or Ion Judgement for bonus monkeys towards your Zoo Keeper badge.
• We do ask for league leads (lvl 50) to swap out or rotate. It's nice for all of us to run new toons thru the event. If you wanna learn the ropes, just ask us. We'll gladly you show you how. The more people that know how to run the ToT league keeps the party going nonstop. 

• Please remember that ToT league is entirely a player led event as we run it. If you cannot be civil and gracious, please do not participate with us. We try our best, we try to be fair, and we're here to have a good time. If we're not having fun, then we're done.

• Lastly, Paragon PD, the zone of Peregrine Island, and Paragon City council have given up on shutting down the event, but we don't need to rub their noses in it. Please make sure to properly dispose of all trash, litter, body parts, and corpses in the appropriate receptacles. Recycling is also acceptable and encouraged.

Mayhem Motel-We'll leave the fright on for ya!

 

Also- For our regulars, Hami Raids will continue as usual. Newcomers are encouraged to join both raids. (Raids descriptions are located on the player led calendar.) 

Also also-None of this is anywhere nearly as complicated as it sounds. Show up, have fun, be nice.

 

 

* It's been 327 days since our last Halloween casualty.

Would you like to add some Pumpkin Spice to your sauna for a nominal fee?

Shout out to the small, but powerhouse group on the Red Side this afternoon. With about 14 dastardly participants we managed to get the banners down with about 30 seconds to spare and the Greater Mystic. You all get a Red Rider BB rifle for Xmas! Just don't shoot your eye out.
