Quote:Let me put it into gaming words as to why we have preregistration lol... Preregistration works a lot like when you preorder a game. You are promised the game when you arrive at the store and whatever special thing attached. Alas, the only perk you get when you preregistered with us is that you're guaranteed to be judged on that night, no matter what. Therefore, once you're called first you are judged bing bang boom and you can go play for the uber loot.Originally Posted by Matt_King
Seriously Dusk? Anyway, I'm not even mad I didn't win, partly considering it wasn't for any influence and partly because I would have missed the final CC anyway. I was just confused by having people register as well as having walk-ins. It's not that big of a deal lol.
An example I can give of this is DJ Shecky, who was late to the preregistration call, but was able to get judged even though we where doing the closing final call.
And also DJ Shecky, I would like to point out something of this contest... Even though you are right on the facts that we should allow powers since they are customizable through the Tailor I must stress that this is still a costume contest.
We allowed weapons and shields because they're not distracting to the costume itself as well as they're more customizable than they've ever been. If you are wielding a bow, sword, claws, a shield, or whatever else. I can still see your costume and judge you on that. It is difficult to see a costume if there is a fire shield on that character, or any other power like that. But not only that, as you can see we took screen shots of all entries, and sometimes there are those powers that denature the screen shot because of their animation. (Electric is a good example)
As Ice said, we are looking at a phase to see powers. We even discussed it as we were planning the event, and there was just not enough time to get that ball rolling and we would try to implement it in next years Mr. and Ms.. And further much so there will be Vigilantes, Rogues, and Praetorians to think about. Mr. and Ms. will be very different next year.
As you can see though, this game does change how we do this event.
Hope this helps, and once again thank you for participating in the event.

Ok, this is from our computer tech Zek.
Quote:100k (actually =~ 120kb, give or take depending on connection) is how much the perl library I'm using can eat in a single chunk when using the form submission. I can re-write the script to use a different module and use buffering, but it's both more complex. Also, and equally important, that makes people actually trim the screenshots instead of sending a 1 Mb JPEG with the character taking maybe 10% of it (the main reason why I though the 100 Kb-ish limit was enough).
The reason they can't put a link instead of uploading a file is because I can't use wget (or similar) in the new hosting place - commercial hosting companies that don't charge an arm and a leg have dim views of scripts that remote dowload stuff automatically. In the last year you could paste a link and my home server would download the picture no problem.
That said, both limitations can be easily circumvented by firing off an email to perc.coh@gmail.com and having me doing the legwork. -

From my years on Protector, I've seen many themed based toons from DC, Marvel, movies, ect... They do act in those characters from those universes, but they're do it behind closed doors scared of the nerf bat. I've never seen, for instance from Virtue when I was there MCing for the Mr and Ms, open Role Playing of their made up characters in Pocket D.. I've never seen that here.
Although, that doesn't mean if you come in here and start doing it we're going to be like... wth is this person doing and make fun of you. We're RP Friendly as a server. -
Quote:Walk-ins are organized like this, (basically the same way a hair salon does it) we let the people who are preregistered go first while the nonregistered wait for a time being before they are called. We check to make sure everything matches up with the preregged. Once that is done and we call in the nonregged we write down all the information concerning the nonregged. We get your global, character name, screenie, server, male or female, Rogue Isles or Paragon City.Originally Posted by Pale_Enchatress
I was there and I thought everything went wonderfully. I'm actually thrilled that it was such a success. Widescale player run events are worth the effort.
Anyway A question that was never answered:
How are the Walk-In's being organized after judging. You have no information on them and since sign ups have been closed. If a walk in wins will their character name simply be posted while you wait for them to contact you?
We will post the winners on these forums and there will be set rules to follow from there.

Let me ask our computer tech the reason why it has to be 100k, it could be the reason that she hosts that site herself... But let me double check Zek.

I'm so excited! Can't believe this is happening this Friday!

Males, are you going to sign up? Those females are going to just fill in for the Mr. Paragon City and Mr. Rogue Isles if we don't have anyone for male entries... And then... They will take your prizes from you!!! :O

Hey, can we get a link to the results of the last ones? I can't offhand remember the winners/runners up, and I'd also like to see whether I entered one particular character last year or not. I think I did.

Quote:Let your friends know about the event.Originally Posted by Trickshooter
If I could enter a character for each category, I would enter some dudes, but since we have to pick 1 per global, I had to go with who I thought looked better, and they happen to be females on both my accounts.
Btw, I like your siggie in your signature... Where did you get that? I want one...
I like your avatar too, I want one of them as well.

Quote:Now is this in game? Or outside of game?!?!Originally Posted by Niviene
Ocho has agreed to sport a pink cape and screenshots to be taken if someone from Protector wins.
I think it should be outside of game in the office.
I bet Sexy Jay could sew him up a cute little cape in a nice hot pink fabric. -

It's buried deep within the past , i hope it doesn't last
It's something i already chased, i already chased
I try to give it all away, but it's never gonna fade
It's something i don't wanna face, i don't wanna face
I know you feel it's all the same, but I promise that i'll change
It's something i already chased, i already chased
You know i'm trying to believe that you're never gonna leave
It's something i don't wanna face, i don't wanna face
There's nothing left! The fear is gone
Here is mine...
One sip ain't gunna do sh*t.
On the 2nd sip I begin to admit
that the 3rd one down is what makes me feel alright.
And number 4 I slam down to the floor.
By 5 I'm ready to fight all night.
An then 6, 7, 8 to make me break your face sometimes. -

From Brokeback Mountain:
Jack Twist: Tell you what, we coulda had a good life together! F_ _ _in' real good life! Had us a place of our own. But you didn't want it, Ennis! So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain! Everything's built on that! That's all we got, boy, f_ _ _ in' all. So I hope you know that, even if you don't never know the rest! You count the damn few times we have been together in nearly twenty years and you measure the short f_ _ _ing leash you keep me on - and then you ask me about Mexico and tell me you'll kill me for needing somethin' I don't hardly never get. You have no idea how bad it gets! I'm not you... I can't make it on a coupla high-altitude f_ _ _s once or twice a year! You are too much for me Ennis, you sonofawhoreson b_ _ _ _! I wish I knew how to quit you.
Ennis Del Mar: [crying] Well, why don't you? Why don't you just let me be? It's because of you Jack, that I'm like this! I'm nothin'... I'm nowhere... Get the f_ _ _ off me! I can't stand being like this no more, Jack.
God, this made me cry.

Quote:We were active for Halloween!Originally Posted by Solitarian
So I was trolling the forums and I noticed the P.E.R.C. to be pretty active on all servers. However, once visiting the web page the absence of any protector events was glaringly obvious. Just curious what's up with it these days or if it's still active.
Some servers are actually lacking reps while others are more abundant with them. Protector has three reps; myself, Rastafaria Man, and Archiviste. After the Halloween Event we've been working on our annual event which is the Mr. and Ms, which you can read in my other post on this thread!
Thanks for asking the question, and if you need anything else feel free to ask.

- Judging for the contest will be scored for costume and creativity. The final contests will be based both on costume design and on a short series of interview questions. Interview answers will be judged in the finals only. Costume scores will be formulated the same way in both individual server contests and finals.
- Judges have the right in the event of a tie to refer to character biographies and how they apply to the character concept.
- Interview answers will be judged in the finals only. Interview questions will be available to answer online after the last server competition judging is complete.

- Character screenshots of the finalists must also be submitted by January 1st, 2010 by 12:00am (midnight) EST. This is to ensure that in the unlikely event that one of the judges is unable to make it to the finals judging, the finals will still continue as scheduled.

Thanks Stalemate for saying all that.
And I don't believe Rasta, Archi, or myself were offended that you wanted to split your winnings. I personally enjoyed your story because I've had my own accounts to the paranormal.
Haha, your son was making me laugh throughout the night. He kept asking me if he was number 1 with his story... "GIMME" hahahaha
To be honest, I wasn't sure if I wanted to do the stories in-game or on the forums themselves. In-game proved to be a tad bit more fun though.
I hope everyone enjoyed the 2-Day Event.
