  1. Well you totally have to write one for the contest Fem. That would be so neat. I'm thinking of pushing the end date back a few days just because. Not sure maybe an extra 3 or 4 days.

    On Friday there should be a refined initial post for you. Come take a peek and let the creating begin. And Thank you.

  2. NecroTech's comment made me think.

    So Rule #7...You need to have a lvl 20 on Justice to claim the prize. Whether its on red or blue I could care less. I just need to see you. Sounds fair?

    While I do really want to support the AE system I also want to broaden the AE base on Justice specifically.

    I guess though Necro, if you want to come hang out on Justice and run up to Stamina with us you are more then welcome to join the contest.

    At some point in the next couple of days I will go up to the first post and clean it up a bit. Or maybe I'll just leave it. Sounds so much easier to do that.

    Anyways thats it for now. Look forward to seeing what you come up with. I fully expest LSK to have a group of Bikinni clad ninjas.

  3. Oh I sooooo totally want to do that as well.
  4. Well I think you 2 should make one and get the ball rolling.
  5. Happy birthday wishes for this year and next.
  6. Hi there. So with recent nerfs to AE (yet again) I am growing concerned that interest will drop even more then the current low. I know their are lots of great authors out there on Justice, have even ran some of your arcs. I am looking for the rest of you (although the authors I have already discovered are free to participate as well.)

    To that end I am holding an AE Bank Heist Challenge. It is simple enough. Create a 1 mission AE Arc that involves a bank robbery (or a jewel heist if you prefer just to add an option .)

    What I am really looking for is a neat villian group in a familiar setting. 1 Boss, 1 LT, and a bunch of Minions that some how have a common theme. Whether the theme is costume, powers, having 7 letters in their name doesn't really matter. Perhaps they all like to sing Neil Diamond songs as they go about their nefarious business. Whatever you like really, as long as its neat. (Psssst, I really do like costumes.)


    Rules? Well yeah, there have to be rules. Mine will be pretty simple. They can't be SOOOOOO overpowered that my Tank is mauled in the first 3 seconds. That always makes her mad. I do want something in the mission briefings and dialogue from the baddies is always a plus. Having things in their descriptions is also nice. Basiclly I want a one-shot story with a new enemy. Hopefully I will get a bunch of interest in this so try to make yours stand out.

    Beyond that, just do your best. Put in whatever extras you think are fun. If there are spelling errors, well, it happens. Try to limit them to 412 if you can.

    The top prize will be 250 million Influence, while 2 and 3rd prizes are a shiny from my base. All prizes will be awarded on Justice Blueside only as thats where I play.

    The contest will start now, whatever day it might be (April 12 I believe) and end April 27 (of this year.) That should be enough time to come up with something neat.

    Oh yeah, no allies please.

    Thats about it. Thank you for coming out and happy hunting.

    EDIT : Oh yeah. Just toss the name of the arc, ID # or your Global in this thread so I can run off to play your arc. Thanks again.


    CONTEST RULES just for clarities sake.

    1 mission arc centered around a bank heist.
    Custom baddies somehow connected by theme (name, costume, background, hair colour, whatever.)
    Set a lvl range similar to the blue side bank missions please. Chaos STring is a special case though as he was here before the lvl range was specified.
    No Allies in arc.
    Must have a verifiable lvl 20 something on Justice Blue side or red.
    Prizes will only be awarded on Justice Blue.
    Contest Ends April 28, 2010.

    Think thats it. If not I'll let you know.

    So. Yeah.

    (Though, to be fair, it was more Dr. Aeon's explanation of things that did it. Sometimes you're better off not knowing)
    Well thats too bad Doc. Hope you come back at some point, most of us will still be here I think.

    Oh. No changing your story now.
  9. Thats some nice looking work you have there Dead West.
  10. Just so you know....Sometimes when I Republish it takes a few minutes for it to take effect. If I start the arc before this has happened I get the old version.
  11. I would also like to suggest you try Khonshu's arcs. Fun stuff.

    If you play it, be sure to read all the descriptions.
    Might be helpful if you told us what arc you were referring to.
  13. There is something about only being allowed to spend a certain amount of money per day unless you modify it. What the amount is I am not sure, but I imagine someone will come along and let both of us know.
  14. I might pay Influence to check my grammar and spelling actually. Guess it wuld really depend upon the going rate.
  15. Out of curiosity can you use Ninja Run in Granite form or whatever makes the Stone Tank move so slow?

    Oh I'm taking it seriously enough. Not a fan of the kind of arc you are looking for but I have a villian group I have been sitting on since AE was in Beta. Don't know if they are tough enough for you (they kick my butt all the time though) but boy do I ever think they look neat.

    Off to please you. Or to at least try.
  17. I would very much like candles and other light sources that give off a very small amount of illumination.
  18. I had a CC with the top prize being 1 influence shy of a Billion. Seemed like a good way to help out.

    Yep, seems your the only one who didn't catch what was meant but that is ok. Showing your lack of understanding in something is a path to knowledge. It is when you know everything and make sure everyone knows that you do (or at least pretend to) that you are doomed to failure.
  20. SO much prettier in person but stil super nice pictures.

    I find the coolest things are done completely by accident.
  22. Well rumour has it we are getting a fancy new forum site to fix these problems.
  23. The Kismet +Acc is a nice little bonus in there as well.
