Things for the event are coming alpmg nicely... Matt is the technical guru and is getting things together well... DaSlaya is putting together SG mates as well... So, we'll see who all we get over the next week or so and then work on setting teams...

Depending on the future, we may also have additional GOOD NEWS coming our way for this event...

Just FYI


Patch notes for build 1850.201009101722.1T.

Tasks

• Cathedral of Pain - Fixed Merit diminishing returns. Merit rewards were dropping off too quickly when diminishing returns kicked in. This has been fixed.
• Warburg Missiles can no longer be used in the Cathedral of Pain.

Whatever is decided... I will plan to make a toon for it

Come join The Cathedral of Pain as only Dream Weaverz, Project Obsidian Operations & Maulers and Medics Super Groups can bring...

We've invited 'The Ocho' to team with us and we'll be handing out some New and Unique Titles to all who participate in this event...

The initial plan is to meet in Pocket D then head to the Dream Weaverz Base to start the Cathedral of Pain... However, depending on the overall number of participants, Obsidian Ops and Maulers and Medics SG's will also be able to host teams through their bases as well...

Team Leaders will be on Ventrillo and team members will also have that option... So, we'll be able to coordinate our efforts more easily...

I'll update this post with more details shortly with team make up needs and other stratigic details...

We hope to make this event a huge success for Liberty and hope you'll come join us for The Cathedral of Pain!

I highly suggest and encourage you to read Amygdala's guide to the CoP BEFORE we start our quest tomorrow night...

Per OP... This event is being cancelled due to some family issues that I need to take care of for a few days...

Thanks all for your continued mass support of the Events/TF we plan...

Actually would be fun to watch, painfully fun to watch... Set it up Rex!

Sorry all... I have had a family issue arise and will be traveling for a few days to assist...

For those of you who made have already made a new costume, I will put together another event when I return.

Again, this event is being cancelled...




To honor the great boxer of past... Jack Dempsey... I thought a tribute to Jack was in order... On September 22, 1927 he lost his chance to become the Heavyweight Champion... So, as a tribute to him and to those who have the costume pieces unlocked (even if you don't, you are welcome to join us)...

An ALL BOXER THEMED Postiron TF...

Get your trunks, get on your gloves and let's pay tribute to the Great Jack Dempsey...

When: CANCELLED
What: Positron Task Force
Time:


Jack Dempsey, the "Manassa Mauler," misses an opportunity to regain the heavyweight boxing title when he fails to return to a neutral corner after knocking down champ Gene Tunney in a title match in Chicago. Dempsey waited five precious seconds before heading to the neutral corner, at which point the referee began the 10-count as the rules dictated. As the referee reached nine seconds, Tunney got back up to his feet. He had actually been down for what amounted to 14 seconds. Tunney went on to win the bout in a decision after 10 rounds.

Jack Dempsey, one of the most formidable and popular boxers of all time, was born in Manassa, Colorado, in 1895. One of 11 children, he left home at age 16 and traveled around Colorado's mining towns, earning a living boxing under the name of "Kid Blackie." In 1916, he abandoned saloon-floor matches in favor of professional bouts and earned a reputation as a quick and lethal fighter who generally knocked out his opponents at some point in the first round.

By 1919, Dempsey earned a fight with heavyweight champion Jess Willard. They met at an outdoor arena in Toledo, Ohio, on July 4. The 37-year-old champ was no match for the young brawler, and Dempsey attacked fast and furiously, knocking the giant to the canvas seven times in the first round. At the end of the third round, Willard had a broken jaw, a closed eye, two broken ribs, and a partial loss of hearing. He chose not to come out of his corner for the fourth round, and Dempsey was proclaimed the heavyweight champion of the world.

Dempsey, nicknamed the Manassa Mauler, was one of the great sports stars of the 1920s. He successfully defended his title five times in four years to the refrain of record-breaking ticket sales. He employed a brutally aggressive style that has been appropriated by many champions since. Bobbing and weaving, he remained on the offensive almost continuously, swinging rights and lefts out of his crouching stance with amazing speed and power. After a memorable match against Luis Angel Firpo--the "Wild Bull of the Pampas"--in 1923, Dempsey's promoter decided it was in the champ's best interest to fight as infrequently as possible, thereby ensuring that excitement and profit would be high when he did. In 1924 and 1925, Dempsey was out of the ring.

Meanwhile, Gene Tunney, a scholarly former U.S. Marine with a refined boxing style, was steadily accumulating victories. The "Fighting Marine" lost sometimes, which may be why Dempsey agreed to meet Tunney for his first match in three years. On September 23, 1926, at Sesquicentennial Stadium in Philadelphia, Tunney dethroned a rusty Dempsey before 120,000 fans. Tunney never knocked Dempsey down, but he systematically accumulated enough points to win the heavyweight title in a decision after 10 rounds.
Dempsey briefly considered retiring, but in July 1927 he returned to the ring to defeat Jack Sarkey, which earned him a rematch with Tunney. On September 22, 1927, the Manassa Mauler came to Soldier Field in Chicago to regain his title. More than 100,000 spectators turned up, and there was talk that gangster Al Capone had tried to fix the fight. To avoid any possible charges of a fix, the referee was replaced at the last minute. Dave Barry, the new referee, took the boxers aside just before the match began and reminded them of a new rule that required a fighter scoring a knockdown to retreat to a neutral corner. He could not begin his count, he warned them, until the fighter on his feet started backing off to a far corner.

As the match got underway, Tunney took charge of the fight, racking up points and keeping Dempsey at bay. In the seventh round, however, the old Dempsey returned, knocking Tunney against the ropes and then felling him with three strong punches. Tunney went down, and Dempsey took a step back to the nearest corner--not a neutral corner. Barry rushed over to Dempsey and yelled, "Go to a neutral corner, Jack!" but Dempsey just stood there, glassy-eyed. Finally, Barry grabbed him and shoved him on his way. Dempsey shuffled across the ring, finally remembering the new rule that had been twice told to him before the match. Barry then began the 10-count, and Tunney got up at nine.

Tunney's total of 14 seconds on the ground allowed him precious time to recuperate from Dempsey's assault. He ran from his opponent for the rest of the round and then came back to dominate the eighth, even knocking Dempsey down briefly. Tunney won another decision.

Dempsey continued to box in exhibition matches until 1940, but he was never a serious contender again. He became a successful restaurateur in New York City and remained a popular figure until his death in 1983. Gene Tunney retired in 1928 after successfully defending his title against Tom Heeney. He became a wealthy business executive and died in 1978 at the age of 81. His son, John V. Tunney, was a U.S. senator.

Glad to see you back... Hope RL settles down for you as well...

Yes, kids can be expensive (all year long... but especially when the Holidays roll around)...

Take care and stop and say HELLO when you get in the game!

The server status has not been updated since September 7th... (small print, lower right of status screne)...

We have both 'blue' and 'red' side bases... We have many members with toons in both... The ability to switch 'sides' is annoying at best, unreasonably difficult at the very least...

In theory and game concept. I can understand a 'little' as to why when initially switching sides the bases can be 'off limits' to possibly opposing factions as a whole, but if a toon is rouge or vigilant and on a team, then the moral choice is basically made, so that toon should have access to travel through a team leaders base, even if they can not join that XG until they have completed their morality transfer...

As far as base love goes, yes we all want more toys and shinies... but also think about how many toons will not be populating the streets and missions because so many will be in base edit mode as soon as any love is given... So, the base love would then transfer into a perception that there is no one teaming or gaming and will look like a lower population in game...

I'd be all for some step-up type base love... give us some reasonable goals to unlock base items, give us a 'pack' we can purchase at a reasonable price that includes base love items... The game has progressed in so many ways with new graphics and textures, it just seems like the Dev's don't want to share the keys to the toy box...

Best of luck for a speedy recovery and cheers to the future!

Very nicely done... Loads of detail and many, many hours of construction...

Congratz once again...

Sounds awesome... sorry, never heard of this before... Tell me more...

Hmmmmm... what?....

Can I just shoot things with paintball?...
