Would be good to see something like this red side.
But will definitely be making a appearance on Napalm Bomb!
I know it's a lot more inf than normal, but it's still nice to see the cossie comps back. When I started playing I couldn't make it through Atlas from one mish to the next without someone starting one. Admittedly I've spent a lot less time in Atlas lately, but still, even when I did, it seemed like these were dead. Plus, now we have flyers!
edit: any chance there will be maybe a bonus category for a particular theme? (I'm just looking for any chance I can get to win some inf!)
@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.
A Redside option is something which we have been planning todo for a while although with limited slots for many of us we created our Villains on Defiant and kept Union for Heroes, just something I had todo as I didn't want to go down the 2 account road.
As for themes, currently we are open to all, any theme (as the flyer says) any style, anything you want, group efforts, anything goes, the Final Three will be our selected winners on the day!.
Welcome one and all !

@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
I will try to make it. But as I'm mainly Defiant (waits for boos) it clashes with the mother ship raid (not your fault I know)
Happy to be on Defiant.

I appreciate you doing things like this for the community but was disappointed to find that when I logged on 30 minutes early the event had happened 1 hour early.

I must recommend that the next time you plan such a huge event and advertise it as well as you have this one, that you actually go ahead and run it at the time you said it'd be run. I'm quite irked, to be honest.

It certainly was 7pm British time. I logged on just before it started (hoping to take some inf from Union) at 6:55 pm.
Happy to be on Defiant.

I turned up at just after 6:30pm GMT quite excited for the competition that was meant to be starting in half an hour. At this point, it turns out the winners were being asked to vacate elsewhere.
Firstly, Thank you all very much for your attendance this evening, It was great to see the bodies turn out in their mass's, so many people in Union/Atlas it was a great site and we have "Videos & Screenies" which will be posted within the next day or so.
Such a wide variety of Costumes We as hosts had a very difficult time to narrow down the contestants into Finalists, from there we continued amongst us to narrow down until we got to the ultimate final 3 (Screenshots will be posted very soon on the forums and in the BPM Studio gallery.
We notice a few people had issues with TimeZones which is very unfortunate and sry that you may have confused the start time, however on any "What is the time now websites" you can view the time in different countries and it will show you exactly what is what", sry to anybody who got caught up in this which seems only a "very few" as 100's and 100's were in Atlas/Union with their shiny costumes .
Screenies & Videos to come......................
Many Thx and See you all Next time Check the Screenies (when posted) for your faces.
Sorry man, It was at 7pm GMT. Me thinks one of the random atlas spammers conned you that it was over at 6:30.
I didn't turn up until 6:40 ish, then wandered off to the corner shop and still got back for the judging from 7 onwards.
This con artist must have been Perfectionist then, as he was the one talking. Sorry to seem like a nitpicking little thing, but I'm so confident I'm right. You do know that Britain is currently using BST and not GMT, right?
