Around the World [Suggested Event]

Okay this is a VERY rough idea for an event....BUT...here it is...

So...the new event that is going on now has inspired this idea...

pretty much we have a few maps which represent modes of transportation...
and we have a fair few maps that represent different parts of the world....

-so...the event would have it's starting Destination in Toronto, Canada (assume you're leaving there)
-from there you'd take a mode of transportation to the next area. (say based on distance this would require X games or X amount of time played on the map)
-then you arrive at the next place where you'll have some sort of task that involves playing that map. This could include games, wins, kills, time, playing with friends, or even a particular type of kill.
-next you're traveling again....you must take another map of transportation to the next location....
-another Place map where you'll have some task to complete...
-pretty much rinse and repeat until you've hit all Location based maps and in doing so have perhaps completed a kind of circle?

To ADD to this...it could be made into a 'race' as well. Where the first 10% of players to finish out of all finishing players get rewarded a bit extra EP. then the next 25% of event finishers get the 2nd place prize amount. and so on until the last place finishing % base gets the base amount.
Now i'm generally not into the 'competitive' event scene as it always gets heavily abused by the farmers. But if the needs to complete each section are varied enough and don't rely just on playing, winning, or time...then idle farmers won't be able to achieve it as easily over others. So the farmers will have to at least be 'active farming' on this unlike in some events in the past.

this would be a rather long event since we have quite a few maps that represent unique areas (13 countries are represented after all!) AND a fair few maps for 'transportation' between them. So naturally this should reward nicely on both EP and select crates and perhaps even a ribbon.

If anyone wants to flesh out some paths that could be taken to go 'Around the World' and back....and further the idea. that'd be awesome! As I said...it's rough as it is now. But didn't feel like smoothing it out with further details especially since much of that is up to the GMs discretion anyways.
