*Note: If you make the finals you must attend this date for the final judging or be disqualified.
The following is the schedule this event will follow. It is important to arrive on time in order to be judged!
2:00pm EST - Gathering
2:20pm EST - Judging Begins
2:40pm EST - Semi-Finalists Announced
2:45pm EST - Semi-Finalists Judging Begins

Overall winners will additionally receive the following:

*Note: In order to receive the prizes finalists MUST attend the finals.
Contest Basics:
Any Hero or Villain may enter.
Only one entry per server allowed.
Characters must be at least level fifteen (15) to participate.
No late entries accepted. Arrive on time if you want to be judged.
No member of PERC may enter (since PERC Reps will be judging).
Huge body type heroes/villains will be determined to be male. Monster heroes/villains will be determined male or female by body type, and/or name and biography if necessary.
Costume Rules:
Customized Weapons are allowed. This includes shields, blades, guns, etc. Players are asked to only draw weapons however and not utilize power animations.
Powers Usage is limited: We understand that i16 has brought with it a variety of power customization opportunities however we have found that powers can effect other players unintentionally and can also diffuse attention away from other character components. We would prefer players limit their use of powers and utilize them for Aura purposes. Examples of powers allowed include but are not limited to Fire Shield, Rock Armor, Personal Force Field, and Invincibility.
Be very careful in your power choices and avoid overusing multiple powers.
Powers that effect other players will result in automatic disqualification from the event. Examples include but are not limited to Steamy Mist, Lightning Field, Hotfeet, and Shadowfall.
Please contact a P.E.R.C. Chair Representative if you have any questions about a specific power.
Judging Rules:
A panel of P.E.R.C. Representatives from other servers will be compiled to judge this event.
Players are urged to utilize costume choices, weapons customizations, emotes, and auras in building their concept for display.
Judging for the contest will be scored based on concept, costume, and creativity.
Semi-Finals:
New to the contest this year is the Semi-Finals.
Semi-Finals will take place in the Pocket D Arena.
Judges will pick a total of 16 contestants (8 Male / 8 Female) at the end of the Server Judging Round to move on to the Semi-Finals Round.
Each Semi-Finalist group will be taken into the Arena separately. Males first, followed by females.
The PERC MC will start the Arena Event and set up the teams so that it is Judges vs. Semi-Finalists.
Each contestant will have 1 minute to show off their powers!
A "dummy" or "test subject" will be announced for the person to target.
During this round it is IMPORTANT to listen to the MC & PERC REPS for any additional rules & details.
Anybody who griefs and / or kills another contestant inside the Arena will be disqualified.
All attendees, who do not make it to the Semi-Finalists, are invited to observe the Semi-Finals event once it starts.
Finals:
The finals will be based both on concept / costume design (same rules as above) and additionally on a series of short interview questions.
Questions will be provided to the finalists following the finalists announcements.
Questions however will be asked LIVE at the finals only. Contestants do not answer the questions until the LIVE finals event.
Costume scores will be formulated the same way as they were in the individual server contest rounds.
Judges have the right in the event of a tie to refer to character biographies and how they apply to the character concept.
Characters must be at least level fifteen (15) to participate.
Players are allowed to enter on multiple servers.
Power customization will now also be judged.
A NEW Semi-Finalists judging round will occur inside the arena.
We will be looking at biographies in the finals. -
DEE!

Welcome back
And nothing is wrong with playing the Sims 3 either.

Not a bad draft at all.
Whos all in it this year?
1) Me
2) Shnax
3) Cat
4) ???
5) ???
6) ??? -
A few things, and I'll try not to go off on a tangent:
1) Has this dude never played City of Heroes/Villains before? Guessing not since, you can't die from falling.
2) How the hell did he get Ninja Run and Mish TP? He bought the MAC pack and the Ninja pack?
For the things I agree with him on are:
1) The screen resolution, YES! It used to be full screen and yes, it would be nice to be able to tweak your settings before launching the game for the first time.
2) The mobs running away. As he showed in the demo, that does happen. Yet, no answer from the dev's, its a natural AI occurrence.
Nothing he said during the video was wrong. Had both the positives and negatives from the game.

I think I've located the issue.
After watching the netgraph 1, my ping is 140+
Off to look at the modem.

Same thing here:
Firefox 3.6.8
Win7 -
As of late, mostly today that I've notice, graphics have been odd.
For example, while in AE, the 3 green dudes that stand in front of the portal have NO HEADS til I get within 5ft of them, then the head appears.
(I have screen shots, but no way to post them. I really need to get a picture site...)
On advice of Bill Z, here is my COH Helper log.
Thanks in advance!
