Other events, as an alternative to the Locker Rot Virus event #107

The 'Locker Rot Virus' really breaks up the gameplay and adds some excitement for everyone in the server. I'm interested in finding more automated events. The Nemesis AI would select from a list (perhaps based on some criteria, like online player count) and activate it for the server.

Right now the 'Locker Rot Virus' event can happen every hour, if a top 10 player (of any metric) is online. Practically this should result in it happening about every hour (if the server has enough people playing on it). With more types of minigames, more variation could exist.

In #74 Neilaf had the idea for a headcrab infestation in the streets. I like that, perhaps the spawn points are abused by the AI to spread some type of mutant monsters into the city for a short while.

I'd be interested in hearing more ideas

Maybe the Nemesis AI can also target someone his bolt generator. Stimulating raids on players who have their bolt protector out for the longest.

Back in the day I also organised some team deathmatches. Maybe we can also make an event like this were people have to assign for the deathmatch and choose a team to join. The loser loses all they carry into the battle. This might need some thinking through, because if 1 team has all automatic rifles and exosuits, it is not fair. So maybe there can be a point system for the equipment being taken into the battle. Long shot idea.
