Runescape Tournament ideas...

Hey,
Another librarian sent me the post below and is looking for help and ideas about how we could compete against other libraries while playing Runescape. Here is his letter. Please post if you have answers or ideas.
Thanks,
Bill


A colleague and I are trying to figure out how to do Runescape tournaments between libraries.
If you are a Runescape player, I invite you to help us think through how to do this.
And/or ask your Runescape playing kids how they think this could be done?


For me, the issues/questions are:


- Where in the Wilderness should tournaments be held?


- Should free players and member players have separate tournaments? Are levels for free and members players the same? Or is there a difference between a free and member players at the same combat level?


- If tournaments are held in the free world so free members can participate, members can't use their powerful member only weapons. How will member players feel about that? (I believe members can't use member only weapons in the free world because if they could I would see member only weapons being used in the free world.)


- What should be given as prizes? I doubt I can get real stuff donated to give to kids in other states, possibly even other countries. I think prizes probably should be Runescape stuff. One way to collect prizes is to ask players to donate stuff or a certain amount of money. What do you think?


- How do we keep players from getting killed while they are waiting in the Wilderness to fight?


- If tournament fighting is two players at a time, waiting to fight could be intolerably long if we have 300 or 400 players. Should we have free-for-all between libraries? Should we insist that each library has a tournament at the library level and then enter a single champion for between library tournament?


- What should happen to the losing player's stuff? Should the winning player get it? Or should the stuff be picked up and returned to the losing player?


- Finally, how can people cheat? How can we prevent it?

Gaming Magazine? Which one???

What is your favorite gaming magazine? We might add one in the teen room and I'd like to know which are your favorites.
Thanks,
Bill
