Slingshot Action

[aerox]

So I decided to once again use my brains to present to you a stupid event.......
no seriously..when I tried to think of an event that I haven't seen anywhere else I was thinking what I did as a young kid..I used this little stick with elastic on it and shoot windows,cats and people with rocks just for entertainment. But now i think this thing i was doing as a kid could also be presented as a event on classic, or even as a new item to be used by the regular player.

With the help from someone of the graal forums(alexandralove), a basic slingshot was designed to show my idea to the public.
Since Master Storm is never on and I rarely catch Night to listen to my idea, I'll just post it here.

The basig design is something like this


as you can see it has a slingshot from all directions with the rocks in all views.

This item could be used during events to let people shoot eachother in different modes of let's say All-Star, LMS or even add balloons to a room, put a timer on and let the player shoot as many as balloons possible using this slingshot with rocks in it.

The idea is a simple slingshot, but the things you can do with it go furthur. It's just up to the devs, if they see it fit for use on classic.

Pretty good, but how should the function of this NPC operate differently then arrows?

[aerox]

as arrows are pretty standard I believe a slingshot can be of use for multiple options.
You could make it possible to let people buy buckets of rocks inside graalian shops..
You can so not compare a slingshot with an arrow really.
You could even make a strenthbar that determines the power you are shooting a rock with...let's say the longer you keep a button pressed the furthur the rock will shoot.

you could even try to make a mini quest about it. by gathering different sources, wood...elastic..then take it to someone who can make a slingshot out of it.

by the way, this should not be seen as replacing the arrow , it should be considered an add-on for the servers items

Hardly a new concept, and not at all an "event idea", Zelda had one of those, Night actually made a slingshot image (which i believe is better than that one posted), can't remember if it was towards some type of seige event or something else.

I'm thinking of improving on last years SnowBall for christmas,
this time there would be the capability of shooting 360 degrees,
possibly have a maximum distance you can aim towards which can be improved by successful practise of hitting players, i thought digging for snowballs would be more realistic but ultimately it put people off,

Also - Rule #1:
If you want something done (as long as it's a new, not previously thought of and with a general unique use, realistic idea), Storm is the last person you should go to.
