Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza

Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza is the 2014 Spring event released on 14 April 2014, featuring the god of the cabbages Brassica Prime and the goddess of the monkeys Marimbo having a contest on the remains of Saradomin's camp from the Battle of Lumbridge. Holstein of The Godless also makes an appearance as a third faction in the event, seeking to disrupt the contest.

The event takes the form of a minigame of the same name, similar to British bulldog, which features players avoiding gorillas and collecting cabbages. This minigame will remain after the contest between Marimbo and Brassica Prime ends, although certain rewards are only accessible during the actual event.

While it is not officially a world event (although it was initially announced as one), the event shares many of the same mechanics, such as a "battle" between two gods which players must side with and fight for to gain renown and make sure their chosen side is victorious.

The event was put against a traditional Easter event as part of the Power to the Players system, and was victorious with 65% of the votes.

Starting the event
Players can start the event by talking to Brassica Prime, Marimbo, or Holstein, Emissary of the Godless located at the former Saradomin Camp north of the Lumbridge crater and by choosing the faction they would like to represent: Brassica Prime, Marimbo, or The Godless. The Lumbridge crater is located west of the Lumbridge Castle.

The minigame itself starts upon entering the barrier.

Gathering
Gathering cabbages, either through mining cabbage ore or picking cabbage, awards a automatic trophy worth two points each. Killing the smaller monkey minions also awards a cabbage trophy worth two points, but this trophy must be picked up. The cabbage trophies heal players for 10% of their maximum lifepoints.

Timing
In each round, players have 1 minute and 10 seconds to reach the other side of the maze. They must avoid the hazards and gain as much points as they get while doing so. If there are no players that haven't passed the maze yet, the timer automatically falls to 11 seconds. Players who fail to reach the other side will turn into gorilla guards.

Hazards
There are several dangers in the maze:
 * Gorilla guards: There are a few initially and players who die by any means (by another gorilla, AI or player, cabbage cauldrons, fire jets, monkey minions) turns into a gorilla guard.
 * Cabbage Cauldron: Should be avoided as it launches cabbages at the player at very fast speeds, dealing up to 300 damage.
 * Jets of fire: These are randomly off and on. When they turn on a spark should be seen before the fire comes up. This is the most deadly obstacle as they can deal up to 750 damage.
 * Monkey minions: weak and non agressive, but still deal damage. There are always monkey minions in each round, and they take more damage from your attacks.

Scoring
Scoring goes as the following:
 * 2 points from trophy cabbages, setting traps or if a gorilla kills a player (in this case, all gorilla players get 2 points)
 * 1) of points from surviving a round. The # is equal to the rounds you've survived. So if you survived round 14, you will gain 14 points. Gorilla players do not get this bonus.

Abilities
There are abilities which both players and gorillas can use to gain the upper hand on their enemies. Here are a list of them.
 * Flameproof - protects the player from damage from jets of fire for 5 seconds.
 * Stun Guard - stuns gorillas close enough to the player, both AI and player gorillas.
