    Additional Info:
    Powers and Emotes are allowed (so long as they don't affect others).
    Feel free to draw your weapons, toggle up, or strike a pose! The only request here is that you avoid using powers that affect other players' costumes, such as Grant/Group Invisibility, Steamy Mist, Dispersion Bubble, or Ice/Thermal shields. If you would like to display these abilities, please feel free to use them on the event organizer, R-Tech. If you're not sure whether a power you have is allowed, go ahead and ask! Using a power that affects others may exclude you from being judged.
  3. Sorry about missing last night guys; Net went out around 6 PM and didn't come back until early this morning.
  4. Noooo, Smallz! We'll miss you (don't know that we'll manage the "not too much" part. :P)
  5. Many thanks to our contestants tonight! Winners of the "Government Work" contest:

    1st Place: Audience Member
    2nd Place: Ben Bernanke
    3rd Place: Dingo Wilde
    Honorable Mention: Chironex & Taxibot Belle

    I'm afraid that no screenshots are available for this one. If you were one of the winning contestants and would like your picture posted, feel free to post it in this thread, send me a screenshot at RTechCoH@gmail.com or contact me in-game so I can swing by to snap a pic.

    Since the IDFS has had a schedule/format change I've started a new thread for it. You can get updated details here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=262908
  6. Welcome to Infinity Madadh! Here's a quick rundown of some of our most frequently used channels:

    AE Anonymous - General teaming and chat for anything except AE missions.
    Inf Badge Seeker - One of the major badge and TF/Trial channels.
    Infinity Badges 2.0 - The other big badge, TF/Trial channels.
    Infinity Hamidon - A pretty broad collection of topics, also used for raid recruitment.
    Infinity TFs - Specifically for recruiting teams to run TFs and Trials.
  7. Sorry for the delay in updates guys! Been a busy, busy week with some crazy weather to boot. We are on schedule for tomorrow with the theme of "Government Work" -- See you there!

    P.S.: Herc was kind enough to get those screenshots to me and I'll have those up as soon as possible. Thanks Herc!
  8. Thanks for helping to spread the word Belle, Ska and I really appreciate it! We do indeed plan on being back next Thursday, in force, with bigger and better prizes than ever to make up for this week's absence. Hope to see you there!
  9. Tonight's contestants were:
    Pyroclastic
    Wishsong
    Ellscry

    This was yet another exciting episode with a great turnout, including some PERC reps from other servers paying a visit! Everyone made it on the board early and the scores jumped back and forth with Wishsong finally jumped ahead with the final question of round 2! All told, Wishsong walked away with 275 million influence!

    Tonight, in addition to our typical assorted door prizes, three audience members walked away with the same amount that the contestants did!

    Many thanks to everyone who joined us tonight. See you next week!
  10. We'll be getting updated info on tonight's winners ASAP. Sorry that I wasn't there personally tonight; a power outage kept me out of game. Many thanks to Hercules, Lycrest and Onjo for taking over while I was away!

    Excellent Arcs

    I just wanted to stop by and thank everyone for their work on putting together this list and the love that's obviously been poured into many of these arcs. I recently made a character with the intent of leveling them up solely through MA, just to see what other players had come up with, and I have been delighted and entertained non-stop for the past two days. I've been having so much fun, in fact, that I brought my friends and even a few strangers along with me on some of them.

    This is a fantastic resource and I really appreciate having access to it.
  12. Sky Raiders are also common on blue-side. If it was raiders, an engineer could have dropped a force field gen... That would explain the string of misses.

    Either way, glad to hear that you're sticking to your guns and going back to it. Good luck and better XP to you! If you want/need any advice about IOs and etc., feel free to ask. Oh yeah, and welcome back!
  13. The Player Event Resource Committee would like to thank all of our 57 participants in Memory Lane! We had such a wonderful time reading all of the entries. It was a special delight to see so many different styles of writing and so many unique CoH/CoV experiences. We enjoyed this contest so much that PERC members donated extra influence so that everyone in the top group would be able to win a prize (25 mill inf each)!

  14. I'm definitely glad you guys brought the AEnvasion to Infinity; I had a wonderful time. The variety of arcs was surprising! I always knew there were countless types of stories available, but experiencing that first hand is a different matter. Back Fire and Rayonn did a great job of helping us follow along with the story in each one.

    I'm looking forward to the possibility of a return visit, and seriously considering joining you guys every now and then during your other runs. Great work!
  15. Naikelea, you freaking rock! I'll be there with bells on.
  16. There's definitely still non-50 and non-Incarnate things going on out there, even though the bulk of the playerbase (at least appears to be) focused on the new trials. Just last night I ran a Sister Psyche TF. I even saw an Eden trial form this week.

    It wont be as easy as usual to pull players from the new shiny yet (that'll change as time goes on I'm sure), but it's certainly doable. Keep using your resources, connections, global channels, /search, and even consider asking around for some anchors if you can't find quite enough players to start the TF you want to do. Story arcs, AE, and scanners are always there too, with no minimum player requirements. Also keep an eye out for MSCat's weekly TFs if you're available early on Saturday afternoons.

    Good luck with the leveling!
  17. Had a great turnout tonight! Glad to see so many heroes, villains, and Praetorians have characters that worked with this theme. Tonight's winners are:

    1st Place: Vanariad & Water Sprite (tie)
    3rd Place: Terra Watts
    Honorable Mention: Raging Firestorm

    You'll notice that tonight had two 1st place winners. That's because the two players had the same number of votes, and instead of using my vote as a tie-breaker we just upgraded them both to the top prize. Congrats everyone!

  18. The next costume contest is about an hour away! Tonight's theme is "Force of Nature" - Fire, Air, Water, etc. elementals. Hope to see you there!
  19. Thanks to you, Rayonn, and your crew for bringing this event to Infinity, Backfire! Definitely looking forward to it. I'll make sure to mention it at our other weekly events. Schedule permitting, you might just see me there too. *Fingers crossed*
  20. The Player Event Resource Committee would like to thank all those across the forum who participated in "Memory Lane." We will do our best to get the winners announced in a timely fashion, and we thank you in advance for your patience as there are many entries to read and score! We had a wonderful time designing this contest and watching so many different styles of entries pop up. We hope you enjoyed this contest!

    If you have any ideas for future contests, events, etc. please do not hesitate to contact a PERC Representative.
  21. Today is the last day for the contest everyone! There's still some time before the deadline, so hurry!

    This is a cross-forum contest so make us proud, Infinity!
  22. Congrats on the trial guys! Really glad to see that with the right mix of skilled players it can be done short staffed.
  23. Did a 5v5 PvP match on Infinity today, and it's got me pumped for this Friday.
    I wont be able to make it for the TF on Thursday, but good luck on it! Planning on running a few make-up TFs, hopefully this weekend. Ska and I will make a post about once we nail down a time if anyone else needs Synapse and Sister P.
  24. Winner's for tonight's "Bolts 'n' Brass" costume contest:

    1st Place: Autumn Dog
    2nd Place: Princess Julie
    3rd Place: Chironex
    HM: Ellscry

    (Bit of a typo in the screen shot. The above list is correct, despite the two 3rd place listings in the picture. Sorry about that!)

  25. The CC is about 20 minutes away! Also, I'll be updating the original post with next month's themes tonight. Stay tuned!
