And now that the character's become part of City of Heroes' lore, NCSoft will go after him with C&Ds or other measures if he "infringes" on the IP? That he helped create?

This is why I hate how the video game industry works, with the way publishers own everything. Just ain't right.

I am sorry that it caused issues and I sincerely apologize for my comments, specificity to Zekiran_Immortal and ShadowKitty.

While I can not justify my comments, I will say at the time of my post, I should of known better then to post at that time as my stress level as thru the roof due to no fault of the good people on Protector.

Yeah, there were only eight female characters on the platform, but there were two others floating around the D, and no one tried to chivvy them onto the platform or let them know what was going on at all. The judges saw there were eight women and went "okay, there are eight of you, you're all in the semifinals!" and never looked at our costumes before the powers segment.

All four judges looked at my costume for a grand total of about five seconds, after I worked on the concept, costume, and bio for the past month. The powers segment where we were supposed to get a minute each? Some of us got thirty seconds, some got a minute and fifteen seconds. I have loved doing this event in the past and I have enjoyed it, and I have always cheered for the winners. However, this year, I felt that no one was really given a fair chance to shine, and the whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth.

At the end of the event, the winners were announced in the Arena chat only and not in Pocket D or anywhere else, and no runners-up were announced. It was really confusing and disappointing to me to basically hear "Okay, these are the two winners, bye everyone!"

I've been running events since I joined the game, and I'm sad to say you guys really dropped the ball on this one. It's not hard to run a costume contest where people feel like their work is appreciated and enjoyed. I doubt I'll be returning next year or at all if this is how things are going to be run.

And by the way-it's PERC's event and it's PERC's job to promote it, not ours.

Way to show the playerbase how much you guys care about us by being outright rude when we come to you with our concerns.
