Sounds like fun!

Knock, Knock, Knockin'...

Do you have what it takes to make it on US Scourge's first-ever game show? In this gruesome game show, players are confined to their own space with their own respective doors. Each door is attached to a random numbered switch on the board. Players take turns picking a switch to try and "knock out" (eliminate) the other contestants. 

Choose wisely! You could very well pick your own door switch!

How The Event Works:

• Players join the event with an empty inventory and no access to backpacks.
• The first 12 players to successfully grab a seat will play for prizes.
• Once all of the seats have been filled, hosts will start the game.
• During the game hosts go in order and have players select a number 1-40 (that remains, of course) until everyone has been knocked out except for the final player.
• Contestants are knocked out when the door behind them opens.

There is up to three rounds of play with 10-12 people each (depending on total number of event participants). Players who win EZ store credit in one round cannot play another round. Players waiting for a chance to claim a participant seat remain in the audience.

Fun fact:  Knocking on Death's Door is a server favorite and we run this game show event a couple times each wipe, changing the design, electrical setup and finding new and creative ways to eliminate participants who are knocked out. During the first Knocking event an over-excited contestant made it past the hosts and to the door control switch area. While the event ban for the player was lifted after 12 hours, all Knocking event builds now feature a caged audience area.

April 16 ZERG:

MT ZERG is an event where players are required to rely on participant numbers and teamwork (and not good weapons/gear) to defeat the Military Tunnel. Don't be fooled: even in a large group, using low tier weapons makes this challenging.

How The Event Works:

• Players join the event with an empty inventory and no access to backpacks.
• Players will spawn in the MT ZERG HUT: a small build located near the Military Tunnel.
• Gear for the ZERG is provided by admins:  Hazmat suit, hunting bow, 200 arrows, 10 medical syringes, 5 cloth bandages, and 10 pumpkins.
• A secondary weapon may be offered -- typically a longsword or Eoka Pistol and handmade shells.
• When the event starts all participants exit the ZERG HUT as a group and follow the train tracks to MT.
• If you die in the Tunnel, respawn to the ZERG HUT, grab a new gear set and run back (or ask an event admin for help getting back to your group).

The goal is to clear out all MT scientists as quickly as possible, then choose a few team members to go back to do fuses and open the monument puzzle doors for the group.

For some new players, this may be your first time doing tunnels and seasoned players & admins will help you learn how to do the puzzle and defeat the scientists.

Quick Tip: in a large group blocking the door will result in teammate's  death.

This is an event for fun: players are unable to leave with the loot obtained in the Tunnel.

To bad I don't have l96 yet..

 

700 scrap at Bandit Camp! Another 300 if you want the good scope!

RULES FOR SNIPERS:

1.    You must upload a full-sized screenshot that clearly shows the hit in the kill feed.  No cropping or editing.
2.    You must secure your own L96 Rifle to enter the challenge. Ammo & attachments are your choice.
3.    You can build sniper towers or work in pairs/groups but only the player name shown in the kill feed can enter the screenshot.
4.    Yes, capturing and posting the screen is required (see #1).
5.    No cheating or being dishonest: You will be disqualified from this and all future monthly server challenges. 

Getting the snipe successfully recorded in the kill feed is half the challenge! I'll consider changes for future wipe-long competitions, but I won't make any changes to the rules mid-competition. Rules for this are as noted above.  ~ Thanks!

Pickle Roulette is a fun US Scourge event where players gather to eat, puke, die and win prizes. Prizes are in-game awards, ranging from obscure items to valuable pieces of gear. In other words, winning and what you win is totally random. The only thing that is certain in Pickle Roulette is death.

Note: Please turn In-game sounds on to truly experience this event. *BLEH*

How The Event Works:

• Players join the event with an empty inventory and no access to backpacks.
• The event host will provide participants with pumpkins and med supplies to bring player's health, food and water to max levels.
• When ready, each participant will take a seat in Pickle Row and be given a stack of 50 pickles to place in their hot bar
• When the contest starts, participants chug down the pickles as quickly as possible.
• The first person to die WINS the round.
• Everyone then respawns back to the event and heals up for the next round!

Fun fact:  Pickle Roulette started on US Scourge during a Halloween wipe. Admins used Pickle Roulette as a way to harvest player skulls to craft skull fire pits. Admins managed to keep the motives behind the event concealed for some time – in fact they crafted hundreds of these "specialty seasonal items" before event participants caught on.

Let's Make a Deal, Scourge!  April 7 8pm EDT (UTC -4)

The Rules are Simple...

Ten players from the audience will be randomly chosen have a chance to join Scourge hosts on stage. You will be offered an item of value and given the choice to keep the item or trade it in for a mystery item that is locked in a chest or behind a door on the stage.

When players choose to trade with the host (rather than keeping the offered item) they don't know if they are trading up for a better item (like a high-value weapon or RustEZ store credit) or if the trade in will be a "NULLER" (slang for a bad trade or an instant death prize).

Let's Make a Deal, Scourge!  Will run Sunday, April 7 at 8pm Eastern, in the all-new Scourge Event Arena. Hosts will be available 15 minutes prior to event start time to help players and to offer a tour of the new Scourge Event Arena. Players from other servers welcome to join for the fun -- RustEZ store credits and some of the in-game prizes can be redeemed on other servers.

Think you have what it takes to earn the title of top sniper on US Scourge?

OBJECTIVE:  Capture the longest distance zombie kill with the L96 Rifle during April wipe.  Players will have from Friday, April 5 to Monday, April 29 to submit their best shot.

RULES FOR SNIPERS:

1.    You must upload a full-sized screenshot that clearly shows the hit in the kill feed.  No cropping or editing.
2.    You must secure your own L96 Rifle to enter the challenge. Ammo & attachments are your choice.
3.    You can build sniper towers or work in pairs/groups but only the player name shown in the kill feed can enter the screenshot.
4.    Yes, capturing and posting the screen is required (see #1).
5.    No cheating or being dishonest: You will be disqualified from this and all future monthly server challenges.

REWARDS: The Top 3 Zombie snipers will receive a supply signal to use on wipe day in May. The top sniper will also earn the L96 Rifle on wipe day in May.

GLHF!

Even if it's not a winning shot, please feel free upload and share your kill feed attempts, screens of your sniper gear or sniper tower here for discussion!

I personally would like it if there were events w/ PvP.`

Keep an eye on the Announcements channel in Discord and in the forum thread. The RustEZ Casual server hosts some pretty fun PVP events and participants can usually claim any prizes on any RustEZ server. Much like Scourge events that we add to the Announcements, you don't have to be a "regular" on that server as admins usually provide the event gear and so on.  If I'm online I usually try to find some Scourge players to join me on Casual for the events. Always a good time! =D

The event build will remain for the wipe. We will do this one again for sure!

.. and feel free to mention in server chat when you find one, too. Newer players usually don't know you have to enable sharing! ~ A

Good job, everyone. ... except you posted to Pure PVE forums and this is on the Scourge PVE server.

I'll try to get your night-time sky pics tonight when I'm logged in for Dresden's event and add to member gallery.

Hey RepeatPete, welcome to RustEZ! Glad you found your way to the Scourge server.

Pumpjacks are delivered to your inventory when you log in to the server, after the store purchase. 

If you are referring to a pumpjack that was purchased prior to September 2018, please read this announcement: https://www.rustez.com/forums/topic/2236-store-update/ and submit a help ticket to request an EZ Store credit.

Quote

Pumpjacks and Recyclers are no longer permanent and will need to be purchased every wipe. This change is to completely automate the delivery of all store items which has deprecated the old requests system. The prices have been significantly reduced to accommodate these changes. You can request a full refund into account credit to be used on future store purchases if you purchased either of these items before these changes were committed.

US SCOURGE ADMINS OFFER REWARD FOR THE SKULL OF OZZEN.

Rules for Bounty Hunters

- Skulls cannot be harvested for bounty during official server events.
- All server rules apply: No griefing, trapping, harassing or annoying player and so on to get the skull.
- Admins will not assist or help players obtain the skull.
- Skulls must be obtained from the Scourge player named in the wanted post.
- Any form of cheating or being dishonest (i.e. changing your name to harvest a skull) will disqualify you from this event (for all wipes).
- Only first bounty skull turned in each week will earn scrap reward and prize (March wipe: Mar 9-15, 16-22, 23-31).

Tips: keep an eye on the kill feed when player is online to see what they are up to.

Suggestions for Hunted Players

- If you die, consider leaving your body intact so there is a chance for bounty hunters to loot your skull.
- If your skull is not turned in by a bounty hunter during the wipe, you may turn yourself in to any admin in the last 3 days of current wipe (April 1-3) to redeem the bounty reward (paid out the following wipe).

Hey, Spoon!  Welcome to RustEZ. I'm happy you found your way to Scourge!
