Bait

Bait is one of the community's favorite events. The idea is to catch the most fish, the winner and some of the participants get paid.Some clans take bait very, very seriously though. Like Balu. Balu is a large clan on Newwind's sub-server Oath. Balu takes it very seriously and they split the rewards.

History
The event used to be very buggy and was in an arena. The earliest recorded version of bait was olly using a random plugin that was for fishing and the winner seemed very inconsistant. Players also used to have to be teleported in and out of the arena using a command block.

Strategy
There are 4 player types in bait:

Runner:

A player that constantly flies around in elytra trying to avoid being killed, usually they are fed by players in their clan

Hider:

A player that tries to find new hiding spots in spawn and fishes (usually underground) right below third place (players in third place of above have a glowing effect)

Hunter:

These are the players that attempt to kill the runners and find the hiders, usually the most geared players weilding insipids (to prevent gapping), stasis (to prevent teleporting) and acropsis (to disable elytra)

PvPer:

Players that don't care about getting fish and just like to pvp in main spawn during the event to help kill players.

Monopolization
Balu

Balu clan is the largest clan on newwind ever, it has monopolized every event on oath with bait being no exception, this is due to most wealthy players adopting the "if you can't beat em, join em" mindset and joining the balu black hole. Very little competition against balu has been measured throughout oath's history
