Ten Days remain to submit arcs for January!

Just a reminder everyone...starting this week there will be no more Tuesday night Costume Contests hosted by The American Legion. We are moving our themed contests to Thursday; the same night as the general costume contest. So this Thursday! One night; two contests! The themed contest grand prize has also been increased to 150 Million influence.

Following the non-themed contest there will be a brief break for anyone needing to switch costumes or alts to match the theme of contest number 2. The theme for the second contest is Blue and White

To qualify for the theme your costume must consist of only blue and white colors. This does not count skin or hair color which may vary. There can be only shades of blue and white on the costume itself however. Any questions about the theme please feel free to ask here or ingame.

Congratulations on five years Global Co!

Our costume contest is coming up in about an hour and a half. No theme tonight...next week begins our revised weekly contests with the traditional and themed contests both on Thursday January 12!

Themes will still be announced a week in advance. But someone may have a costume that fits the theme on a different character. Or they may need to go to the tailor to load a costume. Or if the theme is simple enough; which some are; it gives those that did not check the forum ahead of time a chance to compete.

CHANGE IN COSTUME CONTESTS ANNOUNCEMENT

First of all, I would like to thank all of you that have come out so often to our weekly costume contests. There have been a great many winners since we started these in July of 2010 and a whole lot of great costumes. The fact that people continue to come out to these keeps The American Legion motivated to keep bringing the contests to the server and hopefully give everyone a fair chance to win something.

Beginning next week; we will no longer hold the Tuesday night themed contests. We will be moving these contests to Thursday; following our regularly scheduled Thursday night contests. So we will still be hosting the same number of contests per week; we are just going to condense them into one night. The reason for this is twofold: it frees up a day of the week for any other group or player that may want to host a weekly event and it also frees up our SG members from feeling obligated to come out and judge three nights a week. I would like to go on record publicly here thanking each of the members of the American Legion who have donated their time and influence every week for over a year to make these contests a success.

The way the Thursday night contests will work is simple. Every Thursday at 10 PM Eastern; we will host a non-themed costume contest just as we have done every Thursday since July 2010. There will be a grand prize winner and honorable mentions named. Following the conclusion of that contest; an announcement will be made about the themed contest which will begin no sooner than ten minutes after the first contest but probably more like fifteen minutes. This will give any contestants that were at the first contest a brief interlude to perhaps switch characters to fit the theme; or doctor up a costume so that they can participate in the themed contest. The themed contest grand prize will be greater than the non-themed contest. The usual prize amount for the non-themed contest is 100 Million. The usual themed grand prize will be 150 Million. I will increase these prizes at times based on turnout, quality of contestants, or any other special circumstance. Honorable Mentions will always receive a minimum of 25 Million.

For this week our regular Thursday night contest will be held on Thursday night 10 PM Eastern. The first of our multiple costume contests will be next Thursday, January 12, 2012.

Once again; thank you all for participating in these contests! See you around the City!

Father Time/Baby New Year Themed Winners

This marks our final regularly scheduled Tuesday night costume contest. As such; we decided to send them off with increased prize amounts. Congratulations to each of our winners.

Grand Prize 250 Million: Grandfather Century
Second Place 125 Million: Grandfather Clok
Third Place 75 Million: Baby Titan

Honorable Mention 25 Million: Rescue Me
Honorable Mention 25 Million: Erudin
Honorable Mention 25 Million: Father Llusion

Our final Tuesday night contest is tonight! Theme is Father Time or Baby New Year!

Grand Prize is 250 Million Influence!

A reminder about this Tuesday's theme...Father Time or Baby New Year If you are looking for inspiration on a costume; head to the Chalet and run Father Time's mission...and then avoid making your Baby New Year look like that little hobgoblin.

Realizing that we have reached the first year anniversary of this contest the Legion has decided to do something for the winners over our past year...or at least one of them. We will be running each of the eleven arcs that won in 2011 (May had no entries due to AE bugs) and will be giving a bonus prize of 500 Million to the author of the arc that we consider to be the best of the best; that is the previous winning arc that gets the most votes from our playerbase. There is no deadline on this contest; as it to run it in conjunction with our usual monthly arc it may take us an extra week or so to get through all of them; but sometime in the next six weeks an announcement will be made on whose arc was chosen as the absolute best of our winners for 2011. All of them were quite good so I do expect this to be a challenge for our members.

The winning arcs from 2011 are:

Tales of Cimerora: Of Feathers and Fur... Arc ID 12647 by @Nebulhym

Suppression Arc ID 374481 by @Gypsy Rose

Nova Roma: American Empire Arc ID 347594 by @Liberty X

Day Job Hell: A Villain's First Day Job Arc ID 322480 by @Clave Dark 5

The Golden Age Secret of the Paragon Society Arc ID 344596 by @Wrong Number

The Coldest of Wars Arc ID 299972 by @Zaphir

The Serpent Beyond the Horizon Arc ID 515140 by @Ankylosaur

City of Ho Ho Ho Arc ID 18775 by @Tubbius


Being considered or winning this special prize does not make you ineligible to enter our regular monthly contests. The only person who is ineligible is the winner of the previous month.

I would also like to suggest the following arc which I found to be well done:

A Christmas Carol starring Statesman Arc ID 355620 by @browncoats

January's contest is now open for submissions. There is no theme this month; please submit your entry no later than Friday, January 20, 2012 at 23:59 Eastern time. The winner will be chosen and announced at or shortly after 20:00 Eastern time Friday January 27, 2012.

We have our winner for December!

Congratulations to @Tubbius for his arc City of Ho Ho Ho Arc ID 18775!
