Im in but only have villains - if the location switches to Pocket D - Ill seeya there

[/ QUOTE ]

Thing is, even in Pocket D, you can't transfer inf between heroes and villains - and I don't have enough Infamy lying around to pay out these kinda' prizes. That's why I'm making it as a heroes-only event, my main hero got the dough.

Then there'd be no audience... just an occasional tumbleweed.

Well, it certainly looks like there's enough interest... it's a go, then!

Next friday - the 15th, innit? - at 7PM BST, under the statue of Atlas, the competition begins.

The Rules: I'll state a question, and the first person to give me the correct answer gets a point and 100.000 Influence. I react to the first correct answer to appear on my screen, so it's no use complaining about lag. If a competitor states 3 wrong answeres, he's out for that round.(To prevent people from just guessing randomly)

When I run outta time or questions, whichever comes first, the competitor with the most points receives the Jackpot of 2.000.000 Influence! BUT, there are a couple of extra rules, just to complicate matters...

High Roller! When a competitor answeres a question correctly, he can choose to 'gamble'... then, instead of receiving 100.000 inf on the spot, twice that ammount will be added to the Jackpot! So, a good strategy to use if you're expecting to win...

A little help? Some of these questions will be rather difficult, so if nobody can answer the question unaided, I'll give out a hint... guessing the answer after the hint's been given is only worth 50.000, or 100.000 if you declare High Roller.

If there's a draw between two or more competitors at the end of the event, a tie-breaker quiz will be used... I shan't say more than that, though.


Well, that's the rules, see that you remember them - and see you next friday.

A while back, I hosted a riddle contest - it was a moderate success, so I thought I'd do something like that again... only, nothing like it.

The idea of the Riddel Contest was, that it would require no actual knowledge, just raw brainpower. This is the direct opposite - I will host a contest that will test the limits of your Geek Knowledge! Movies, games, comic-books, internet memes, everything odd and geeky...

However, I want to test the waters before I go ahead and spend too much time setting this thing up. So if you'd be interested in competing, let me know! If there's at least 5 interested competitors, the competition's a go.

As for timing, I figure Friday evening, maybe 7 PM BST or so. After all, any true geek won't have anything better to do on a friday night...

Oh, and as for the prizes, 2.000.000 goes to the winner, and there's additional prizes of 100.000 inf for each question answered correctly... and maybe more... I'm gonna complicate the rules this time, but I'll post more details if there's sufficient interest.

OK as Wednesday has problems for 2 people I may put it back to thursday if everyone can do that, if not Wednesday is still on and I will do another run with Mighty and Honborg at another point.

[/ QUOTE ]

So, it's Wednesday - is it going down tonight, or will it be pushed by tomorrow? I'd kinda' like to know...

Hard choice? Well, that's what you get for trying to organize this - no good deed goes unpunished, eh?

I know a guy with a level 50 dominator... he likes a challenge. Me, I tried one, got it to 10 - but it just seems hideously weak. Sure, you're a steamroller while Domination is up, but the rest of the time, you're just a poor man's controller, with a half-[censored] blaster-set instead of the buff/debuff set... basically, everything you could possibly want can be provided better by another AT. Masterminds get more and better pets, Brutes get more damage - and defenses too, whoo! - Corruptors are better for team support, and do more damage to boot... and obviously, if you wanna be stealthy and pick enemies off one by one, the Stalker is supreme.

So yeah, the only real reason to play a Dominator would be for the challenge.

I can't on thursday... catching a bus home to visit my parents right after work.

I need them all, but I'm too low for Visionary... so, sign me up for Skulls and Trolls, if there's room. For the next 2 days, I'll be around anytime after 4 PM BST, but I'm away tuesday and friday... after that, I'll be around basically anytime.

Have they actually fixed it so that all the red-caps count towards the badge for villains, too? I remember back during the event, there was some sorta bug which meant that only Snaptooth himself counted...

No answers... look, I'm sorry 'bout missing the original date and all, but I'll be doing it in 2 hours, at 7PM BST, regardless of how many or how few show up...

Well, Friday 7PM has come and gone... I guess that makes Saturday 3PM our best bet. Who's left that's actually still interested, anyway?

Okay then, two possibilities here, according to the replies:

1) Friday (25th) evening - 7pm UK time (suggestion)

or

2) Saturday (26th) afternoon - 3pm UK time (since PrincessSazzy is only available until 6pm).


Post here which would suit you best. In any case, I'll be around tomorrow evening around that time, just send me a whisper (@Ailar) and we'll see if we can get it going

[/ QUOTE ]

Both are fine with me... I may have a mission scheduled for Saturday evening around 7, but if we aim for an early afternoon start, that shouldn't be a problem... so, I'm good either way.

Sorry about not showing up - I started reading a webcomic and forgot the time. Happens a lot for me, actually... if you're all still interested, I guess we'll have to find a better time. I've got an SF on Friday, but what about Saturday? say, 'bout 7 PM BST? This time, I'll set my alarm-clock...

I'm in with my Mastermind - level 31. I'll TRY to get to 32 before the appointed time, though - I'm fairly close, so it shouldn't be a problem, and a fresh set of ench would be helpfull...

All right... anybody have a problem with pulling it off at 9 PM BST tomorrow night?

I've picked up the mission for the Bad Luck badge - required for the High Pain Threshhold Powerade, I believe.

Anybody who missed it and wants another go? I'll hang on to it for a coupla' days...

Oh, shut your piehole already... I couldn't have foreseen an opportunity to run the Leviathan SF popping up in the middle of the TF (actually, more like 2 missions into the TF), and since at the time, the defender was doing everything but defending, causing way too many near-death experiences, I decided to take it. So sue me. If it'll make your mean-spirited little self feel any better, I got stiffed on the SF reward - didn't get the cool temp-power that's supposed to award for it.
Yeah, so I hurried up and logged back on my blaster to see if I had time to rejoin you guys - and when it turned out to actually be in time, I figured my night was saved despite the bugged temp-power. And then the lot of you acted like I'd been deliberately waiting around for you to finish the TF so I could join on the last mission, and kicked me...

Wouldn't have cost you anything to let me rejoin, and the only thing you got outta kicking me was some deep satisfaction in knowing that you'd totally [censored] me off.

What do you want Banished Pantheon missions for? The creepy floating masks are all over the Potter's Field graveyard in Sharkhead Island, y'know. And you can get decent numbers of them in Bloody Bay too, but of course, there's the inconvenience of being auto-exemped.

Anyway, if you get some good farms set up, lemme know, and I'd be happy to join in with my Mastermind... my global's @BlackDragon.

Naah... after getting a small team together and running the mission a couple of times, I determined that the mission I've got isn't particularly good fro Rikti Monkeys. Not that it's particularly bad - it just isn't any better than any other Rikti mission. And apparently, Rikti Monkeys don't really spawn in serious numbers 'till you're level 35, so I've basically given up on trying to organize anything for at least another 4 levels...

I'd like to join... global is @BlackDragon, and I'll be on my level 32 blaster, Heat Fulcrum. I'll miss my Nova, but there you have it... [img]/uk/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Sorry about skipping out on the appointed time, everyb... Dr E Genius, that is. :P My internet connection was cut - I only just got it back.

Ehh, forget 'bout arranging times, I'll just send some tells around to the people who've expressed interest whenever I'm on, and if a team of 4-5 can be arranged, it's a roll.

I'm sorry... can't make it... my connection is going to vanish in a minute. Damn lousy timing!

Sounds good, see you then...

Not exactly a major run on this badge, i see... well, Dr. E. Genius, I guess we'll meet on Saturday - say, around 2 PM BST? - and see if we can get another 2 to join us with a few calls over the badge-channel, Broadcast, Coalition, whatever. If we can't get a team of at least 4 to be interested, however, I think we're gonna have to just scrap it...

Golden_Girl? Here? In the City of Villains? Priceless!
