I'll need to plan more efficiently for next Monday.Naah, I'm good blueside. I figure with switching between 2 accounts (on 2 boxen) to minimize wait times, and leaving a few toons beforehand in the most out-of-the-way zones (those that take more than 1 min. to get to and get out of, like Cimerora or Dark Astoria) I should easily make it under 1 hour.Quote:Originally Posted by Stalemate
Yeah - that's very time consuming.
Thanks for stepping in and offering. Next Monday I can handle the hero-side pre-announcements so that will be less work for you.
But if you really want to help, Cim and the PvP zones are a particular pain in the butt for me

Quote:So... the questions are given out in Broadcast, and we get replies via Request ? Or do we do everything via Request ?Originally Posted by Stalemate
The other trivia contests I ran had questions and answer submissions in the request channel. We can let whoever is present in Pocket D, which is relatively deserted usually, know to use that channel only for submitting their answers.

Quote:What channel will be used for the trivia contest ?Originally Posted by Stalemate
The description you made of the trivia contest is exactly what I had in mind as well, hence the need for a few assistants to ensure the fastest repliers are not missed.
Local / Broadcast ? (might be annoying for those in Pocket D. that are not there for the contest)
Team ? (ideal if you have 7 or less contestants )
Request ? (not sure how that channel works, so...)
New Global one, like "N P C 2" ?
The reason I ask if that if you use a specific channel, you simply set up one of your comm tabs to monitor *only* that channel, easier to pick up the fastest replier.
I'll try to make my questions NOT TOO easy (like the "status of Atlas" one), i.e. something that you might have to think about before 'googling' it, while keeping my answers short and non-equivocial (sp?), like "Atlas Park", "Blue Shield", "Doc Delilah", etc. (NOTE: These are *not* actual answers to questions I have already written !)Quote:BTW, I like your comment about Paragon Wiki, and I think this might even simplify matters on one hand, and allow new players more exposure to Paragon Wiki on the other.
Win-win.

Oh well. If you want to "spruce it up", I made a little sign:
direct link: http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/w...te/COH/NPT.png
You realize that most of this stuff can be found in ParagonWiki without ever leaving Pocket D... ?Quote:Trivia - Anything that can be found ingame, but require a little more scouting to find. Info found on history plaques or billboards. Easter eggs. Etc.
I was more thinking of terms of "fastest guy to press the buzzer (i.e. broadcast) with the correct answer" trivias, like...
- "BZZZZZZZT! Perez Park !!!"Code:"In which zone can you find the statue of Atlas"
- "wrong... wha-wha-wha..."
I'll send you what I have by the middle of the week.
Undecided yet...Quote:Were you also wanting to assist during the actual event?
Thanks. I'll add the URL for the Player Event thread at the end of it, hopefully I won't bust the maximum character limit for a tell.Quote:Great job on the broadcast announcements btw. Thanks.

Sorry to see you go, Baffo.
If that pesky Real Life ever gives you enough of a break and you decide to drop by, you'll always be welcome

Quote:I should be good for the items listed above.Originally Posted by Stalemate
- Assistants for trivia contest coordination.
- Contributions of influence.
- Contributions of trivia questions.
- Promoters to announce the event in advance in the zones (all sides), a week in advance and then a couple of hours before the actual event.
Influence: If I pull my resources, I should be able to come up with another 50M. I'll email it to you in-game tonight, Stalemate.
Trivia: PM me to let me know the type of questions you want.
Announcements: Barring any R/L complications, I should able to do it next Monday between 7 and 8 PM EDT and on the 1st starting around 6 PM EDT.
Suggestions of messages to broadcast (IMHO):
Next Monday (week before event):
Nov. 1st (night of event)Code:New Player Triathlon Contest (Costumes/Bios/Trivias) Next Monday Nov. 1st, 8 PM EDT in Pocket D. Open to 12-months Vets and under.
If you're planning to add a post in the Player Events section, we could add it to the announcements as well (as a tinyurl link ?)Code:New Player Triathlon Contest (Costumes/Bios/Trivias) Tonight 8 PM EDT in Pocket D. Open to 12-months Vets and under

We're cute and fuzzy that way.
(I should know, I used to have a cat like that...)
As another former PERC rep, I totally agree with the rest of Stalemate's assessment. -
Unfortunately, I have to bow out of COH events for the foreseeable future, including this raid
To y'all, the best of luck ! -
Quote:Is there a posted list of current PERC members for all servers ?Originally Posted by ToxicStriker
But if you really want to do something about it talk to a PERC member or join up.
If so, where can I consult it ? -
Quote:I don't have any RadsOriginally Posted by Carnada
Blue side. Based on our attempt today, we need Rads. I will be there on THursday tho!
What else would you need ? At level 50, I have
* Str/Invuln Tank
* Kat/SR/Concealment Scrapper
* Fire/Fire/Fire Blaster
I have a few lower level toons as well... -
Quote:Thanks for the update, Dazz, even though, judging by the reports I heard - I could not make the event either - I was not aware there was any male contestants at all...Originally Posted by Dazz Marvelous
Hello Marvelous Protectors!
I am very bummed I could not make the event! But I wanted to take a moment to post the winners since they seem to have gone unmentioned!
Congrats to Steampunk Charlie & Vampir RaDuli for being chosen as Mr & Ms. Protector. Thanks for representing and good luck in the finals!
Too bad it had to be done by the Senior Rep from Champion, which kinda confirms there is no more PERC reps for Protector.
And no, I'm not volunteering. Been there, done that, didn't work last time. -
Unfortunately the TF I was doing ran long so I could not be in Pocket D to cheer the participants (running myself was a moot point since I will be out of town the weekend of the finals).
Congrats to the winner(s ?) -
Question: Redside or Blueside ?

Quote:My scrapper is waiting in Ourobouros with some... huh... "party favors".Originally Posted by Sooner
Well... since Badge isn't here to lead the madness, I'll take charge, unless someone objects.
Let me know what you're bringing to the party. -
Quote:So..... do we bring 'em one by one, or all at the same time ?Originally Posted by Sooner
Either should work. I will say I made a tactical error trying this with a blaster - too much mezz.
But I should have a few Kronos ready to go for this.

Quote:hummm... interesting... *gives Major T his quarter*Originally Posted by StarGeek
I have my +1 ready.
Running WWR on my tank only took an hour and fifteen minutes. I was at -1/x1, no bosses and I stealthed where I could. There were only 2 defeat alls, including the stop all Wildfire agents. Much easier IMO, than pulling up a Babbage.
I should have a few more ready by Thursday.
I might try that tonight on my Kat/SR/Concealment scrapper. If I understand correctly, I need to jump to either Pocket D or Ourobouros before the Kronos ambush, right ? -
My Fire/Fire/Fire blaster (Enora) ding'd level 49 during last week's Sara Moore TF, so it would be cool to ding 50 this week-end
Sign me up, please...
Edit: Sunday is the 17th, not the 16th -
Yep. There's already a few other threads about it in the forums:
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=241111
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=241110
From what I could gather...
* layoffs probably due to having done massive hiring in order to get Going Rogue out of the gate on time. Now Paragon Studios is back to the same size it was a year ago.
* No 'official' confirmation if Christopher Bruce (Back Alley Brawler) was part of the layoffs or not, but all signs point to: yes. There's always the possibility he left under his own steam. He will be missed. -
Pretty sure a few hearts skipped a beat when they saw the title of this thread...
