Arch-Mob Mini-Quest

Official Information

ARCHMAGE ARCHMOB ARCHMOBS AMMQ

Archmobs are MOBS with additional capabilities that tend to make them more
powerful and dangerous than the run of the mill mob.

An ArchMob Mini-Quest, or AMMQ, is a contest that god+ will sometimes
run for high level characters. Here's how it works: If a character is
interested in participating, they need to SIGNUP. Once the quest begins,
the archmobs will start hunting the participants. To win this mini-quest,
a character has to 1) survive (cannot die during the duration of the quest),
and 2) must score the most points (at least 1 point).

Points are scored by killing the hunting archmobs. Contestants are
eliminated if they are killed during the contest.

The typical AMMQ duration is 20 minutes, though they can last for a longer
or shorter duration.

Player Provided Information

Types

There are generally two types of AMMQs: "KYN" (Kill Your Neighbor) or "TF" (Team Friendship.
With KYN, kill-stealing, pk, thievery of all sorts and generally in-it-for-yourself behavior is allowed. Participants and non-participants alike can interact. Teams are allowed.
In a TF, high standards of sportsmanship are required. NO interferance by other participants or non-participants is allowed. No kill stealing, thievery, etc. Doing so is grounds for (painful) ejection (by death) from the AMMQ.

When Cordir runs an AMMQ, she will announce whether or not it is KYN or TF.
When Thor runs an AMMQ, it is *always* assumed to be KYN.

General Info

• Immortal assistance is not allowed during any AMMQs. No spells, summons, etc.
• a prize of one Quest Point is given to the winner of an AMMQ
• No more than 3 AMMQs are run per day
• Anyone beating the current top score (1260) will receive an additional QP, and their score becomes the new score to beat.
• Bards who die during an AMMQ will *NOT* lose their Lyricals. (However, if it's a KYN, be careful that someone doesn't take advantage of the quest end to get in a quick kill!!)
• The many Arch-Shaman mobs that are generated during an AMMQ tend to pepper the world with Phosphates, which can last for hours after a quest. :(
