Damn I've been sporting that I Dream of Jeannie costume for a month on Liberty... and now someone wins 300 million with it on Infinity, I must be on the wrong server...

While the costumes for the contest on Infinity were nice...

WHAT A BASE! Oh my goodness what a beautiful room! Has that base been featured yet?! Clouds in the sky, tree lined park... wow. A square with yellow I'm guessing is the 'sun' and a pool below... that is just incredible.

Yeah, wth? A costume and concept that should probably be genericed due to lack of originality shouldn't win the competition.

And for those young uns out there who don't remember the show "I dream of Jeanie" this costume and name is a direct copy.

Yeah well mine came out because the desert colors I wanted as an extra costume weren't to my liking as much as the huge scimitar... so I went Jeannie for fun, though my toon's name, concept or AT has nothing to do with her... though mine does have the sweet pink gas emanating from her as she flies!

What can I say, Barbara Eden was hot!

Yep! Even though they wouldn't let us see her belly button. Jeannie, Elly May Clampet, and Mary Ann. The top three reasons to watch TV back in the days of yore!

I can see where the other poster is coming from, though. Someone that just ripped off a design from an old TV show is rewarded over those that took the time and effort to come up with thier own original designs. Kind of lame. Copycats shouldn't even be allowed to enter contests, but that's just my opinion.

I was going to participate but I have no need for Influence hero side on Infinity. Infamy is a different matter entirely.

Hi all, it seems that Smurphy's byline got lost on this week's Scoop for the Market Watch article. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Also, go to test and look at costumes. The Genie sample costume is a preloaded costume set.

Good Judging by the DATA crew, lol. Crime of fashion dislikes your fashion decisions.

Congrats to Children of DATA for a huge and successful event on Infinity. There really were a ton of heroes. Belle was lucky enough to snag an invitation to the base to watch the final judging, and all of the contestants really did look fantastic.

She loved the base, too. She's been working some of its ideas into the Taxibots base.

Thanks, all for all the great comments on the Children of DATA base. We are really proud of it. Zen has done a great job. We actually did contact the Scoop over 3 months ago about featuring it in the scoop, but decided to wait until we upgraded the plot size and getting the themes of the rooms together. Hopefully, if I can get Arch and Zen to agree on the questionnaire, we can submit this back to the Scoop to be showcased.

Thanks again for all the great comments!

Sorry some feel that our selection for CC weren't what they would have selected. CC's are very subjective and I suggest you have your own contest so you can select who you want. They are great fun to do!
