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. Some examples of events would be Demo Derby, Russian Roulette, Race, Air Battles, Tank Battles, Escort, and fan favorite Last Man Standing (A.K.A Battle Royale.) Events like Demo Derby and Russian Roulette are more common due to the amount of work that goes into some of the other events.
Demo Derby
The Demo Derby typically takes place at the event arena in the salt flats. During this event, you will be teleported to the middle of the arena where you will run to 1 of the 4 sets of vehicles placed in each corner of the arena. There are multiple different types of vehicles the staff member can choose from when starting the event, however, all the vehicles in the event will be the same for that single event. Once the event starts, players will drive around attempting to demo other opponents. If your vehicle is disabled or destroyed, then you are eliminated. Last player still driving wins!
