| So, it occurs to me that we have a number of events that spawn a mob
who cause a negative mudwide effect until such time as the event
times out or someone kills it.
Further, it seems that it would be interesting to have a similar
event, excepting that the mob has a beneficial effect (enhanced
regen, 1/4 nosuck, or maybe a mild version of selinias
blessing/dhrugs rage), excepting, presumably, on anyone engaged in
slaying the mob (who would have some tp eq.)
It would be a social experiment (ala Milgram), to see who slays and
who doesn't, and the reaction of the active players to such a
slaying.
That is all,

isn't milgrams experiment to see if a subject will blindly follow
the orders of a superior when told to do something?
maybe you're just seeing which wiz will actually code an event like that =) |

That's a somewhat accurate, though simplistic explanation of
Milgram's experiment. The reference was actually meant more to
invoke the notion of a slightly demented, dare I say mildly evil
experiment.
It was pointed out to me that there are a few events similar to
this, such as confused magi, Raena, rawkenrohls, selinas, and
stralics. The difference that I see between those and what I propose
are twofold:
First, for Magi, raena and RawknRohl, The effects are nice, but
don't really make a huge difference.
Second for Selina, stralic etc, before the event is started, if you
think killing the mob is a good idea, you already have your party
ready, picking up a party once it's already underway (as you would
if the event were triggered by the daemon) might be a little more
interesting.

| oh, damn, i'm a dork.
ps, you can't kill the event god in rawknrhol or selinea. |
