Madame Pistacio

I will clarify this point. Basically we are looking at a number of different things for potential contestants. First and most importantly is enthusiasm and desire to enter and participate in the contest. The creativity of answers and a clear passion for base editing or a passion for trying something new are key here. We also realize that not everyone is as good at expressing themselves through writing and may prefer to link to selected pictures to show their love for base design. We do ask about previous work or "why a contestant feels he/she should be chosen" because we want to make sure we get a variety of people: some very experienced, some moderate, and indeed some that have little to no experience.

In our last base contest "Design Challenge - Bases on a Budget" we had at least 5 contestants who had never tried base building before. They were very excited to try out a new portion of the game and it was a lot of fun to see their bases! One of them even won an Honorable Mention and one received a Judge's Recognition.

In the next base contest we will make sure to stress the point that passion and desire to enter are indeed the most important factors.

LOL I want to +1 this post

Actually we only did one round of the lights, and it was AFTER all of the Lore pets had died/despawned. So the only issue was any controllers or MMs. We took out only 6 total.. maybe 7 if counting the one in the beginning, but I didn't see it.

Edit- I totally misread what Patient said about Lore pets... so yeah blaming that one on the pregnancy brain.

Sort of agree with this, sort of don't. I know it is a pain to go through a lot of posts to find the one you want, but if it's a thread, it is going to be a cluster of too much info. At least when a run is done, it eventually gets off the first page hehehe.

I think he meant to say defenders = win

Just think about it this way EB, we are so awesome they are coming from other servers to enjoy our awesomeness!

I am sure we can find spots for some of your scrappers/other melee as well! Now that we know how to do it, it's not as bad as I thought!

Ageless was REALLY helpful on the run we did. I know that all the rads were using EM Pulse and Ageless really rocked at that point. Also got the debuffs up faster

Just remember you can break down notices to get 40 threads from them if you have any extra! With 2 kins, you will have no issue with end. Just bring greens or whatever so you stay alive.
