Ok, So.. heres the deal.
I had wanted (and been trying) to crop picture A and picture B together, but, i dont have the needed programs and couldnt do it.. (even Fanged tried..I think he wants to kill me for it too)
But, the sentiment is the same none the less.. Happy Birthday, That Guy.

Hey Everyone..
Our lil sg turns 2 this weekend! WOW! Cant believe how time has flown. So many people I want to thank but dont even know where to begin and I'd feel bad if i left anyone off. I DO however wanna tell the guy's in my sg how much I love them and appreciate them all. You guys are totally the best ever! This game would suck without you
To Champion, you guys are such Rockstars! You've made myself and my SG feel welcomed and we've enjoyed meeting and teaming with each of you. You guy's never let me down, have always been super supportive of me/us and the activities we do. It's nice being able to count on ya'll whenever a call is put out for something we have planned! Sooo with that being said...
On Friday, Oct 22nd, @ 11 eastern please join us for our SG's 2nd annual
Hippie Hami ! Thats right, you read that correctly. Come dressed in your best Hippie attire.. or something thats 70s related. Hippie, 70s or Disco, Something FunkAlicious or Funk-tastic! you decide. Just think retro!
We will be hosting a costume contest after the raid, in the Dark side of the Moon room located in our base We will have enough people to be able to usher you in for this contest (our coalitions will be able to enter on their own).
We'll be asking random trivia, and just general useless trivia related stuff during the night!. Lots of goodies up for grabs
Special Guest DJ's! Dazz & Sinny will be broadcasting live from various places, including our sg's base! They will be spinning all the groovy hits people request all night, so, get your requests in! The theme for the night is the same; Hippie, Funky, Groovy music.. the kind that makes you wanna
Hope to see ya'll Friday night in the Hive starting at 11 eastern and goin till whenever we want
Oh ya.. 1 last thing before I end this post..
We had planned a Drop Ship Event, but, due to Halloween we decided it was a bit risky with the spawns and the events that are planned around Halloween this year.. If there was something happening in a zone, there would be no spawn. So, we decided to postpone it for early November instead! Keep an eye out for all the details for that. -
Updated contact list to have your events added:
@Cherry Cupcakes
@Dazz Marvelous

Quote:true storyFirst off: Host your own Costume Contest if you do not like how things are run.
Second: Having five billion trillion temp powers is not showing off "Power-Customization" that you originally took with your build. More of a hey lookie here, let's see all of the content that I went through/or not.
Third: A few of us do not spend hours upon hours getting every single badge on our toon, I personally save that for a 50, also provided that some people these days accumulate their accounts in different means. So being a badge-floozy should be out of the question.
Enjoy. -
Quote:What the bloody Hell do exploration badges, set bonuses, and someone's global name have to do with what is essentially a costume contest? Sour grapes are sour.
considering this year the contest was open to anyone that wanted to jump servers to enter.. only stipulation was that they had to be lvl 15 to join. -

simple solutions
1) join perc so you can put your 2 cents worth in since you clearly feel the rest of us did such a poor job
2) hold your own contests, set your own rules, make your own decisions and take the hits when someone feels you did such a poor job and that clearly they can do it better
3) dont participate in events.
Not that an explination is owed but..
There are/were a lot of people involved in the contest format and rule sets. There are several checks in place to make sure things are being done correctly and that the original posts that eventually make it out to the servers are clear and concise. It's not as if we all just sit around a spit ball ideas and toss out rules. Its gone over, checked, re checked, adjusted and tweaked where needed .. then and only then are we given the green light to post. This contest is MONTHS in the making.
As with anything in life, there are times where people dont agree and break things down to the most miniscule parts of any given thing to fit their argument.
I'm sorry that you, along with a few others, dont agree with some of the wording, or how the contest was held.
1st apperances are everything.. those that made it to semis, had the opportunity to strut their stuff, and to be honest, they did a great job. The female winner on this server did an outstanding job.
There are reasons a huge deal wasnt made about bio's being a crucial part to a persons costume this early on.. a lot of people that play this game dont have bio's or arent as creative to compose them, a lot of the players on this game are younger and we felt as a whole that it wasnt fair to them.. to be EXCLUDED because they DIDNT have a bio. Not everyone is as creative as you.
Quote:You do this on ONE server.. try pulling this same thing off across all 11 servers, in 1 weekend.WHOA! That is pure BS! I'm part of the Golden Age Heroes SGs who run the Golden Age Festival, every year on Virtue. We have several costume/bio contests in the festival every year and they only take a little while longer to judge than a normal costume contest. I've been there. I've BEEN one of the judges who read bios. You have a couple judges assigned to bios and a couple to costumes...VOILA! We've had well over 40 people in our contests on a regular basis and they've regularly gone off without a hitch. For you to have only ONE contest and claim it's too much work to judge both costumes and bios is just simply a lie.
Fact of the matter is we cannot please or accommodate everyone.. It's unfortunate but its reality.
Thankfully there were more people that enjoyed it and the new format VS those that didnt.
Good Luck to the winners on test. I actually enjoyed checking out what Virtue had to offer. Ya'll rocked it.
Peace. -

Quote:Only 1 win per global. If you win tonight on Champion, you cannot win again.Clarifying questions about this:
Let's say a player wins two different server contests, and therefore has two entries in the finals.
1) Is this even allowed? If not, the second question is moot.
2) Will there be allowances made for this person since they won't be able to have both characters logged in at the same time?
I just saw that bit and these thoughts popped in my head, and I was just wondering if these bases will be covered.
Good luck to the participants tonight. Go Champion! -
*booty shake* BUMP
this is tonight! -

Thanks, Jack for taking care of this for me tonight.
