Staff Events

Introduction
From time to time, Olympus Staff can host fun events that players can participate in for a chance to win some money. These events typically happen randomly and can range from a fun demo derby to a full APD vs Rebel escort event.
Joining Events
When an event is being hosted, a message will pop up in the top right of your screen similar to a player message. The message will contain information on what event is happening, and how to join it. In order to join events, you must type ‘;ejoin’ in chat. To leave the event, type ‘;eleave.’ If you want to join an event, it is highly recommended that you store your gear in a safe location because if you lose it you will not be compensated. You will also need to make sure that you are not inside a vehicle, in jail, dead, or in restraints prior to being teleported.
Beware, however, if you do not join the event or are too late and want to go watch, do not interfere with the event in any way. This will be considered Event Disruption and you will receive a hefty ban.

Types of Events
There is a wide variety of events that staff members can hold. The most popular being a demo derby and a Russian roulette game. In addition to these events, last man standing, races, and air battles, are all events that can be hosted by staff. APD vs Civ Escort/VIP events do occur but are rare due to the amount of work that goes into them.
Rewards
Players that have proven themselves and have won their events get paid by staff for their efforts. Typically the top three players get paid. 1st place: 1 million dollars, 2nd place: 750k, and 3rd place: 500k
