    Yes it is a 15 day event and it is still going on.

    The RO Anniversary Celebration is from Aug 15 - 30th (15 days) and the Training Day Challenge is open until the end of the celebration (Aug 30th). Teams can practice and decide to have an official run, with an RO Observer, anytime during the contest period.

    When you are ready to get an official time, post here, send me a PM, or contact me via in game global @Alty. We will assign an RO observer to your team and your time will time will be recorded.


    We also have other events going during these 15 days so check out the link in my sig!

    Also, about Smurphy's challenge: it seems right now, if a team BEATS Smurphys time, they get LESS than if they DON'T beat Smurphy's time. (50M vs 250M). There a typo there or something?
    You can use Vengeance and Fallout, you cannot have someone who's only purpose is to be a vengeance/fallout dummy.
    There aren't any "defeat all" missions. Some objectives may be easier to achieve by defeating MOST...but that's up to the team.

    I can see where you're confused:

    Those who attempt (this means finish all 6 missions) Bunny/Smurphy's Bonus challenge will earn 50 million.

    If one of the team beats Smurphy's time then they win 1 BILLION inf prize. If team also had the fastest time of the normal competitors (those not going for the bonus) then they would win the normal prize of 2.1 billion as well. The gamble is can you beat Smurphy's time and the other contestants to potentially walk away with 3 billion.
    If no one beats Smurphy's time then the team with the fastest (The Losers) win a 250 million inf prize.

    You are actually get more cash going for the Bunny Bonus: 50mil to complete all 6 missions. You don't get any cash for finishing the challenge normally, but you may have a better chance at getting the 2.1 Billion.

    The Details

    The Challenge
    Training Day is a set of single mission arcs created in the MA as a challenging TF/SF for RO members. This contest requires a team to complete the entire set of six missions in the fastest time possible.


    The Six (6) Missions (in order)
    1. Arc #262520 Training Day: Morning -- Apply to RO: Defeat Hobo Healer & EvilRat
    2. Arc #262522 Training Day: Afternoon -- Protect the Formula: Defeat Akari Hayasa & L6
    3. Arc #262524 Training Day: Evening -- Recover the Packages: Defeat Teklord & ilr
    4. Arc #262525 Training Day: Midnight -- Find Evidence: Defeat Ceejer & OtterCub
    5. Arc #262529 Training Day: Zero Hour -- Rescue Alty: Defeat: Abnormal Joe & Concrete Dragon
    6. Arc #262530 Training Day: Dawn -- Defeat the Kings of Aggro: Prince of Fallout, Duke of Nukes, Baron of Buffs, Lord of ID, Sire of PBAoEs, Saint of Side Aggro, Dominus of Domination, Imperator of IOs

    Requirements
    • A team of a 5 - 7 players (LEVEL 35-50) +1 RO Oberserver.
    • The mission difficulty must be set to LEVEL 3 (Rugged/Vicious) or higher
    • Team makeup may be all-hero, all-villain, or mixed

    Rules
    • All team members must be individual participants; no fillers nor multi-boxing.
    • No Vengeance nor Fallout Dummy. "Natural" repeated deaths allowed"
    • No Temp Powers.
    • Accolades, Empowerment Station Buffs, Fortune Teller buffs allowed.
    • We will start the clock inside the mission once your team starts. We will consider "starting" scouting, positioning toward enemies, fighting or buffing. Moving a step over away from the door to make room will not be considered starting. These rules are to encourage teams to wait and let all team members load in the mission.
    • One "Time Out" per team which the team leader can use at any time to stop the clock for a maximum of 15 minutes. This time may not be used to achieve mission objectives (kill mobs, click glowies, etc.) but may be used for anything else (refill inspirations, return from the hospital, AFK, etc). The "Time Out" may be ended early at the team leader's request, but any remaining time is lost. (Note: please wait for the RO observer to acknowledge the start/stop of a "Time Out" before proceeding.)

    Judging
    • The combined total time for all 6 missions will determine the winner.
    • Teams that are unable to complete the entire 6 missions will be disqualified.
    • Teams must complete the missions on the same day and within the maximum of alloted time of 4 hours.
    • If the RO observer has to go AFK (away from keyboard) / DCs (disconnects), etc., team must finish their current spawn and stop immediately. Team may not resume fighting until the observer returns or a replacement can be found (recommend team leaders should RO EVENTS channel prior to event start). Time lost in this way may be used to hospital / refill inspirations, etc., and will NOT count toward your finish time (basically functions as a free "Time Out").
    • Prizes will be awarded to the 5-7 members of the winning team who finish the challenge. If the team had to replace a member halfway through mission 2, sorry about your luck - if you think you're entitled to something for your efforts, take it up with the team leader.

    Procedures for Observers
    • Observers may not aid the team in any way.
    • Observers must a stop watch or other methods to record time. http://www.online-stopwatch.com/
    • If an Observer goes AFK (away from keyboard) or DC (disconnects), they must pause their stopwatch. If an observer cannot return for whatever reason, they are required to record and save the time up to that point. Replacement observers must start their own timer at zero when the observer instructs the team to resume the challenge. The times will added together to equal the final total.


      Training Day Challenge -- Bunny Bonus! -- By Smurphy
      1) Form up a team.
      2) Run the RO Training Day Challenge on Challenge level 5 and not the required level 3.
      3) Complete the challenge within the 4 hour time limit.
      4) Receive bacon! Wrong Challenge. Sorry, no bacon
      4, try two) The team receives 50,000,000 Infamy or Influence.
      That's right. All you've got to do is try* and 50M Inf is yours.**

      But wait, there's more!
      I'll be organizing my own team to take on the Training Day Challenge on Challenge level 5.
      If a team does the challenge, beats my time, and is the fastest team to beat my time they get a...

      1 Billion Inf bonus!

      If no team succeeds at beating my team's bonus challenge time...
      1st place team receives 22 Quadrillion Influences, their names on the Atlas Blimp, and a limited edition Matt Miller verses Jack Emmert Rock 'em Sock 'em Dev-Bot.
      1st Loser team receives 250M Inf Bonus
      2nd Loser team receives 250M Inf Bonus
      3rd Loser team receives 250M Inf Bonus
      4th Loser team receives 250M Inf Bonus
      So let's get all the details and questions handled. Each person's global account only gets 1 shot at the Training Day Challenge. Choose your team and choose your attempt wisely. In order to be eligible for Bonus Prizes a team must do the entirety of the Challenge on Challenge level 5. This uses up their one attempt. That team still is eligible for the main prize. Smurphy's team is not eligible for either Training Day Challenge first place prize.

    The Rules

    General Info
    • A list of "subjects" will be published on the main forums at 6:00pm EST on Saturday, August 15th, 2009. Take screenshots of these subjects and enter to win fabulous cash & prizes!
    • Villains only, levels 1-50, on Freedom, Virtue, and Justice.

    • Limit of one contest entry per global account.

    The List
    • Will contain 17 subjects to be captured.
    • Each subject will be broken down into 3 levels of increasing difficulty: Basic, Advanced, and Master.
    • Basic: can be solo'd by a level 1 character. Every subject will be something that can be found in an open zone.
    • Advanced: can still be solo'd, but you'll need a high level character to do so. Most subjects will require access to level restricted zones and/or use of the Flashback system.
    • Master: will be difficult or impossible to solo. Most subjects will require use of SF/Trial content and/or the completion of an exceptionally dangerous task (such as the defeat of a Hero or Archvillain).
    • No randomly occurring events (i.e. Giant Monster spawns or similar) will be required at any level.
    • Please submit only one screenshot per subject.

    • If the subject is a targetable entity (an enemy, ally, NPC, etc.), then it must appear in your target window.
    • Screenshots must have filenames and/or tags that indicate their subject matter. If in doubt, use this format: "SubjectName (DifficultyLevel).jpg"

  • Dr Robert takes a moment to thank all those who donated to the celebration.

    On June 10th, we (Repeat Offenders) started kicking around some ideas for our fourth anniversary. Four years is quite an accomplishment, and we wanted to do something fun and memorable to mark the occasion. On June 15th, after we had some potential events in mind, the discussion turned to prizes for those events...

    On June 16th, my initial prize estimate was 1.7 billion in total value. I rounded that up to 2 billion, just to be safe, and when fundraising efforts kicked off a day later (the 17th) I asked for 3 billion in donations. I didn't think we'd get that high, but it was worth a shot.

    Well, it only took five days to break 3 billion. Then, seven days later, we broke 4 billion. By June 29th we'd increased our goal to 5 billion, but even that wasn't high enough. We cleared 6 billion on July 5th. At about that time, Smurphy offered up 2 billion of his own for the Training Day Challenge bonus prize.

    It's also worth mentioning that those numbers, totaling over 8 billion inf, are all in cash. We had an additional 2+ billion in IO donations come in over the same period, including the following:

    IO Donations
    11x High value purples (Apocalypse, Armegeddon, Hecatomb, and Ragnarok)
    3x Luck of the Gambler +recharge
    2x Numina's Convalescence +regen/+recovery
    1x Miracle +recovery
    3x Regenerative Tissue +regen
    2x Performance Shifter +end
    2x Karma -KB
    4x Steadfast Protection -KB
    1x Steadfast Protection +res/+def
    1x Blessing of the Zephyr -KB
    6x Winter's Gift -slow
    1x Celerity +stealth
    1x Unbounded Leap +stealth

    By the way, when we figured out the cash prizes for the various events, we deliberately ignored these IO's. They'll be handed out in addition to the other posted prizes on an event-by-event basis. We've already added one of the purples to the pot for the Ninja Run.

    Finally, I'd like to acknowledge the people who made these prizes possible: the donors themselves. We recieved donations from a broad cross-section of Repeat Offenders members and SG leaders, ranging from our oldest members to our newest (seriously, at least one person donated on their first day as an RO member). The following 77 individuals contributed influence, infamy, and/or IO's:

    --------------------
    The Details

    The Challenge
    Training Day is a set of single mission arcs created in the MA as a challenging TF/SF for RO members. This contest requires a team to complete the entire set of six missions in the fastest time possible.


    The Six (6) Missions (in order)
    1. Arc #262520 Training Day: Morning -- Apply to RO: Defeat Hobo Healer & EvilRat
    2. Arc #262522 Training Day: Afternoon -- Protect the Formula: Defeat Akari Hayasa & L6
    3. Arc #262524 Training Day: Evening -- Recover the Packages: Defeat Teklord & ilr
    4. Arc #262525 Training Day: Midnight -- Find Evidence: Defeat Ceejer & OtterCub
    5. Arc #262529 Training Day: Zero Hour -- Rescue Alty: Defeat: Abnormal Joe & Concrete Dragon
    6. Arc #262530 Training Day: Dawn -- Defeat the Kings of Aggro: Prince of Fallout, Duke of Nukes, Baron of Buffs, Lord of ID, Sire of PBAoEs, Saint of Side Aggro, Dominus of Domination, Imperator of IOs

    Requirements
    • A team of a 5 - 7 players (LEVEL 35-50) +1 RO Oberserver.
    • The mission difficulty must be set to LEVEL 3 (Rugged/Vicious) or higher
    • Team makeup may be all-hero, all-villain, or mixed

    Rules
    • All team members must be individual participants; no fillers nor multi-boxing.
    • No Vengeance nor Fallout Dummy. "Natural" repeated deaths allowed"
    • No Temp Powers.
    • Accolades, Empowerment Station Buffs, Fortune Teller buffs allowed.
    • We will start the clock inside the mission once your team starts. We will consider "starting" scouting, positioning toward enemies, fighting or buffing. Moving a step over away from the door to make room will not be considered starting. These rules are to encourage teams to wait and let all team members load in the mission.
    • One "Time Out" per team which the team leader can use at any time to stop the clock for a maximum of 15 minutes. This time may not be used to achieve mission objectives (kill mobs, click glowies, etc.) but may be used for anything else (refill inspirations, return from the hospital, AFK, etc). The "Time Out" may be ended early at the team leader's request, but any remaining time is lost. (Note: please wait for the RO observer to acknowledge the start/stop of a "Time Out" before proceeding.)

    Judging
    • The combined total time for all 6 missions will determine the winner.
    • Teams that are unable to complete the entire 6 missions will be disqualified.
    • Teams must complete the missions on the same day and within the maximum of alloted time of 4 hours.
    • If the RO observer has to go AFK (away from keyboard) / DCs (disconnects), etc., team must finish their current spawn and stop immediately. Team may not resume fighting until the observer returns or a replacement can be found (recommend team leaders should RO EVENTS channel prior to event start). Time lost in this way may be used to hospital / refill inspirations, etc., and will NOT count toward your finish time (basically functions as a free "Time Out").
    • Prizes will be awarded to the 5-7 members of the winning team who finish the challenge. If the team had to replace a member halfway through mission 2, sorry about your luck - if you think you're entitled to something for your efforts, take it up with the team leader.

    Procedures for Observers
    • Observers may not aid the team in any way.
    • Observers must a stop watch or other methods to record time. http://www.online-stopwatch.com/
    • If an Observer goes AFK (away from keyboard) or DC (disconnects), they must pause their stopwatch. If an observer cannot return for whatever reason, they are required to record and save the time up to that point. Replacement observers must start their own timer at zero when the observer instructs the team to resume the challenge. The times will added together to equal the final total.

      2) Run the RO Training Day Challenge on Challenge level 5 and not the required level 3.
      3) Complete the challenge within the 4 hour time limit.
      4) Receive bacon! Wrong Challenge. Sorry, no bacon
      4, try two) The team receives 50,000,000 Infamy or Influence.
      That's right. All you've got to do is try* and 50M Inf is yours.**

      But wait, there's more!
      I'll be organizing my own team to take on the Training Day Challenge on Challenge level 5.
      If a team does the challenge, beats my time, and is the fastest team to beat my time they get a...

      1 Billion Inf bonus!

      If no team succeeds at beating my team's bonus challenge time...
      1st place team receives 22 Quadrillion Influences, their names on the Atlas Blimp, and a limited edition Matt Miller verses Jack Emmert Rock 'em Sock 'em Dev-Bot.
      1st Loser team receives 250M Inf Bonus
      2nd Loser team receives 250M Inf Bonus
      3rd Loser team receives 250M Inf Bonus
      4th Loser team receives 250M Inf Bonus
      So let's get all the details and questions handled. Each person's global account only gets 1 shot at the Training Day Challenge. Choose your team and choose your attempt wisely. In order to be eligible for Bonus Prizes a team must do the entirety of the Challenge on Challenge level 5. This uses up their one attempt. That team still is eligible for the main prize. Smurphy's team is not eligible for either Training Day Challenge first place prize.

      Team B runs the challenge in 2 hours on CHallenge level 5.

      Team B wins the main prize of XXX Inf
      Team B is first loser for the bonus prize and receives an additional 250M Inf.
      2nd through 4th loser prizes available.
      Team A wins nothing.
      *and succeed
      **your teams. Limit one per global account. As supplies last. At least 20 teams will be able to receive the bonus. More if I'm feeling generous... and I am rich... but I am cheap... so who knows!
    --------------------

    Team Leaders can also send me a global tell @Alty to sign up. We need the global of the contact person/team lead.
    If you have any questions, please post here or ask in our event global channel: RO Events
  • So no other sign ups except for one team from Freedom?! Looks like there won't be much competition for the prizes.
  • I'd forgotten about the doing an MA mission about BRB and had throughly lost the ideas I had.

    I'll try to jump start my brain again.

    Also it's time to make another avatar for BRB:
    This one is still available (80x80)

    I like your banner but it's hard to see the outline of the person in the blast...there's a person in there right?

    You might want to scroll back up and check where you stated "I don't believe you" which is another way of saying "I believe you're lying". I don't exactly find that funny.

    Maybe I was wrong about you robots. You guys are okay.
    So you don't believe women are:

    a) capable of being on the net
    b) interested in MMOs
    c) would post on a forum about an MMO?

    Because you don't believe in women?
