How do you envisage this event of Hide and Seek? What about making it more tied into the workings of the game, for advancement of the people involved. How about something along these lines…
An event manager will be appointed to oversee the smooth running of the event. Teams will be created among the participants – entrants may be added later, up until phase 2 of the contest at which point no more contestants may enter. The event will last 3 hours.
Phase 1: in each region (Ul"dah, Gridania, Limsa, Coerthas, Mor Dhona) there will be a specific NPC you must find – directions and hints will be given, but no name. Notify the event manager of their name when found. Your team will then be tasked with crafting an item within their ability – every team must have at least one capable crafter and one gatherer. NQ materials for each requisite item will be provided in the FC chest. However, gatherers in the team are allowed use their mining/botany to acquire HQ materials instead, if they wish. When the item is complete for each member of the team, the next NPC must be found, next item made, until all NPCs and items have been cleared.
Phase 2: The team must equip their 5 new items and begin to spiritbond them. Teams may not use spiritbond increasing items during this phase, however the Company Action for increasing spriitbonding will be activated for the duration of this event. When an item is bonded, convert it and notify the event manager what materia was received.
Phase 3: Should a team bond and convert all their items, they may complete new sets of the items they created the first time and begin bonding anew.
Completion: at the end of the 3 hours for the event, the team with the most items converted to materia wins. Grade of materia will not influence the score – only quantity, to avoid discrimination against lower level contestants.
Prizes:
First Prize: a requisite item level 55 weapon for A Relic Reborn of their choice, complete with melded materia; or, a level 50 crafter/gatherer's HQ item
Second Prize: 1x HQ items for a class of their choice, up to item level 49, and 2 grade 1 materia of their choice.
Third Prize: 1x HQ item for a class of their choice, up to item level 29, and 1 grade 1 materia of their choice.
Fourth Prize: 5000 gil
Fifth Prize: 1000 gil
… something along those lines?
