Vice War 9 : Lost in Liberty

[aXXo]

Vice War is global Team Death Match event consisting of two teams. The two teams fight each other for the entire day and the team with most points after 24 hours will be declared as the winner. There is no limit on number of members for either team, so teams are required to gather support by inviting players to join their team.

This is the 9th edition of Vice War, called Lost in Liberty.

The event will start at 00:00(midnight) on 9th May 2020 and run for 24 hours.

Unoffical start time is 23:30 8th May, as we will be running some tests in the grace 30 minute period. It may or may not be accompanied by server restart or stats reset.

Features

		Liberty City Stories Map This edition of Vice War will be played on the Liberty City Stories Map - Portland area. Special thanks to the LCS-DM Community - rww and Piterus for making this possible. We will be using the Winter Edition of the map, in...June... because yes.
		Protect/Kill the Boss game mode Vice War 9 has an approach similar to protect the president or kill the boss modes. Each team would have a boss, which would grant valuable points on eliminating. This edition emphasizes on the driving skills of players along with the fighting skills. Expect a lot of chases, hot pursuits to hunt down the boss. Teams will have to prioritize between killing the enemy boss and protecting their own.
		Small map - The playing area is roughly the size of downtown. Minimap On - All player blips will be visible, with different colors for bosses. Ground action - No helis, planes, boats. Just ground action. All ingredients for a massive deathmatch fest.
		New Administration System We will be trying out a new administrative system, which will be report based. Each time you report a player, it will generate a case that is assigned to a specific admin on rotation. The admin will be given the direct responsibility and ownership of that case and the information will be transparent to the reporter. This will also accompany with statistics - Punishments, reports, admin handling time, admin response time.

LederART(tm) was used in the design to bring GangstaRas out of retirement.

The event consists of 2 teams:

• Portland Union - Mafia and Traid. Boss: Salvatore Leone.
• Panlantic Syndicate - Yardies and Cartel. Boss: Miguel

Spawning as a Boss

• Anyone can spawn as a boss, however there can be only one team boss at a time.
• To spawn as a boss, select the boss skin from spawn selection. You need to have $1000. The first spawn for both teams is free.
• If there is already a boss when you spawn, you are added to a queue - first come first serve basis. Your skin will change to regular team skin. As the current boss dies, your chance will come.
• There is a 30 second cooldown when a boss dies. Your next boss is announced privately and has 30 seconds to prepare.
• After 30 seconds the enemy will be notified of the new boss.
• If the boss is not ready(disconnected, not spawned, does not have $1000) - he is skipped and next person from queue is selected.

Playing as a Boss

• If your team does not have a boss, it does not gain any points.
• The boss can buy all weapons for free.
• The boss has 200 HP.
• The boss has to focus on survival, as dying will reward a lot of points to the enemy team.
• If the boss quits, disconnects, crashes it is counted as dying.
• The boss is exempt from Ping and FPS kicks.
• If the boss needs to quit without penalty, Use /resign. The boss needs to stand still for 10 seconds. The next boss from the queue is chosen.

The Map Overlay: The Portland Union will spawn in southern docks area. The Panlantic Syndicate will spawn in northern pier. There are following 5 bases, each having a checkpoint. Players can capture the bases to earn money and points for their teams. The bosses can upgrade the bases to generate more cash. The bases are the major sources of income for teams. Killing players give a minimal cash reward. To capture a base, stand on the Checkpoint for 10 seconds. After the base is captured, the boss can upgrade it by standing on the CP for 10 seconds to increase it's income level. Level 1: $1000 per minute for entire team. Level 2: $2000 per minute for entire team. Level 3: $3000 per minute for entire team. The Luigi's Club base has higher value. It grants 2x money than normal bases. Each base also grants 1 point per minute. The 5 bases are listed below: Future Diablo HQ Chinatown Base Docks Mansion Luigi's Club
