The Pingus Turn 4! Let's have a party! (5/31@7EST)

So the Pingus turn 4 years old this month, and I like the number 4, so I think we should have us a nice, big party.

And for those of you who have been around for awhile, you know what a Pingu party entails.

So, how about a little rundown of the events this year?

Event: Pingu 4th Anniversary Party
Date: Sunday, 5/31/2009
Time: 7pm EST/4pm PST - 11pm EST/8pm PST

Now, in the past, we've given away inf and IOs, but with the volatile market this year, we've decided to focus more on nice, pretty little inf. So, the party itself will include the following things:

[ QUOTE ]
1 Billion Inf given away PER HOUR [u]MINIMUM[u]

That's right. I reiterate, minimum of 1 BILLION inf being given away PER HOUR.

It'll be given away through costume contests, bio contests, random giveaways, trivia, pick-up lines contests, and just about anything else we can imagine because 4 hours worth of contests will be nerve-racking otherwise.

1 Billion Influence Costume Contest...on the Forums

I'll personally be judging a costume contest here on the forums for the entire week leading up to the party. This is primarily for those who cannot make it to the party, but I obviously can't regulate that idea, so it's just an open contest. I'll make a thread the week before the party, and I'll accept posted screenies, PMed screenies, and emailed screenies at that time. The rest of the rules will be covered then.

First Prize: 500 Million Influence
Second Prize: 300 Million Influence
Third Prize: 200 Million Influence

Villainside Contests!

That's right! This year, we've scratched together some funds and IOs, and we'll be giving away approximately a BILLION infamy worth of cash and prizes!

I'm not sure how Jester's gonna handle the giving away of these funds, but don't fret, he'll be along sometime soon to elaborate.

Win a Build!

This will be my own personal costume contest, Winner Take All. It's a Heroside-only contest (sorry Villains, it's where my money lies), it's gonna form up at 7pm PST/10pm EST, and the prize is going to be an entire build (either by your design or by mine, if you'd prefer I min/max one for you). A WHOLE BUILD.

DISCLAIMER: Now, obviously it'll take a little time for you to be able to collect on this (I don't make money on the market by forking over BUYITNAO prices all the time ) and there is a limit on the size of the prize (I've got about 2 billion inf set aside for this prize, so that's a de facto cap after 30 days of shopping by myself for the pieces), but if it won't fund your whole build, it'll sure come close.

[/ QUOTE ]

Now, this isn't associated with PERC, PvPEC, WTFeverOtherECsThereAre, SG recruitment, or anything else sinister. I could care less if Devs show up and give pretty yellow titles or people join my group afterwards or whatever, but I won't rule out the possibility of one of these things happening. I'm not gonna ask for any of these things, so if you think such a thing should happen (or you want such a thing), you'll have to lobby for it on your own. That also means that none of these folks are responsible for the ridiculous crap that goes along with the presence of all the Pingus we can scrounge up.

Anyways, if I've missed anything in this announcement, feel free to ask and I'll elaborate. Hope to see ya'll there, we need someone to give away all our money to.

Don't take it personally if you think I was mean to you. I'm an ******* to everyone.

It's a penguin thing. Pingu FTW.

Happy Birthday, penguins.

One of the sole reasons I resubbed last week during the free week, even if I haven't spoken to many of you yet.

Should do it in Galaxy....just to be different. Isn't that what Pingus are all about, after all?


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

I heard about this from Stabby the other day, but a reminder is great. Sounds like a lot of fun, and I can't wait to celebrate with some friends. Just gotta be sure to mark my calendar and get in-game on a Sunday. Also, agreed with above poster: where will this take place and/or where should we meet?

Gratz to all the Pingus on four years!

11 - 3 so far tonight says otherwise.

For meeting places, on Heroside, it'll be in Atlas unless we find major, major issues due to the AE building there. On Villainside, I would expect it to be in Mercy, but Jester'll make the final call for that.

I would so love to sport a yellow " <censored> " title in honor of the Pingu's fourth anniversary.

Sounds like a good time. I'll mark my calendar.

I say we mob the AE Building after the last contest. Jumping and flashing powers all over the place. And if anyone asks, just say that the building aggro-ed us......
....
Or we blame Ping.
That's what a good Pingu would do.

<yawn>

Sorry I'm late . . .

While ping is planning on avoiding Atlas if the lag from the AE is bad i want to load more people into AE . I have always felt we need more villain content so it is only fitting that i have a Villain MA content contest.

For those who don't know i like my villain arcs to feel villainous. Think Peter Themari and Westin Phipps. I wanna steal bodies, burn books, break peoples spirits and generally be a [censored]. A challenge and some humor are always a bonus but I'm tired of helping heroes and inadvertently making the world a better [censored] place.

I'm thinking 3 prizes will be given out for this event.

1st place will be some purple IO's (and maybe INF) . I think i have at least one full purple set . I'll update this or the contest thread with what IOs or Set when I'm home and have the time to log into the game to look.

2nd and 3rd place will be INF rewards of at least 150M and 100M, this could change once i get a chance to look at how much INF I have amassed.


I have not really thought about how the rest of the Infamy is going to be spread around but I'll have more details as the date gets closer.

Grat Pingu's; this server wouldn't be nearly as fun if you all weren't here.

Sounds like my kind of party! Thelxiope is always up for some body-theft and general mayhem; anything that doesn't make her feel like a watered-down hero.
