good idea...if im not out and drunk yet I'll be there
Nice to see other people as interested in the creativity as I am. Unless something unforeseen happens I'll be there, just have to figure out what I'll be wearing.

Lots of great costumes on display.

Did anyone take pictures?
Yeah, screenshots were taken of the winners. Don't know when they're going to post them though.
I tied for 3rd in the Concept portion of it. I was stunned because I thought there were characters there much better than mine.

I just want to say you guys did a great job on this event! The turnout was fantastic! You guys were organized, communicated well and had everything under control. Very well done to all involved! I also loved the location selection, it was a perfect spot!
My character was Ultra-Lass, who was extremely lucky to take 1st place in the "costume only" portion of the event. I didn't envy the selection commitee's task at hand, as a mulitude entries could have easily won. There was some real quality designs on hand! Well done everybody!
Speaking of EnnVee - She did a fantastic job on spinning the tunes and mixing it up on RadioFTW! Thank you for squeezing in Winger! My jaw hit the floor when I heard that!
I'm really hopeful we'll get to see a bunch of screenshots from the event soon!!!

I was Glister in the event, came in 3rd in the costumes only, I too was surprised I had been picked for my placement (And excited). Everyone did a superb job and kept the spamming to a minimum, Pie-ro was the man announcing and the DJ spinning had the greatest of sets.
Look forward to new contests (Though on different toons!)
Hey guys REALLY sorry on the late post of pics. A couple of guys took off on vacation and a little miscommunication on who needed to do what before they left.
Anyhoo, I hope I am not butchering the name spellings but the winners for the costume portion were
1st: ultralass (left)
2nd: aurellia (middle)
3rd: glister (right)
The concept portion:
1st: Matinee Hero (mid- right)
2nd: Ion Darkstar (far left)
3rd: HalfStack(mid-left) and Faded-Glory(far right) : Tie
Special thanks once again to PERC and Radioftw.com and to all that showed up to make this event possible. Not an exact count but well over 1 billion in influence + salvage + enhancements were distributed to the winners, and many (if not all) the contestants. Every costume was great and rest assured that there was plenty of bickering among Turtles members in deciding the winners of this contest. You guys didnt make it easy.

Heh, the colors are kind of low, so you can't see the yellow on the mask, and the fact that I'm wearing an eye patch, also the back of my cape is yellow, all black is terrible, and the pic doesn't give the full 360 degrees of justice! Also, grats again to my fellow winners, nice to see Matinee won 1st in concept, his origin was REALLY REALLY great.
so you are hating on your own costume?
Naw, just critiquing my costume, it was my first costume I made (minus the cape, as we didn't have those when I started)
An artists work is never done.

Have you ever entered a costume contest only to find out that it was rigged? Or the judge was looking for something very specific, and you show up in your great costume, and aren’t picked, just because the judge was looking for a different genre and didn’t tell anyone?
Well have no fear! "Love The Turtles" are here! We will be hosting a large costume contest on August 22nd (This Saturday), at around 9pm EST. We’re going to try and start it at the beginning of the day cycle so we have the most daylight time. It will take place in Founders Falls, where Infernal and Numina are.
When we made this SG we had an emphasis on encouraging people to not only participate in every aspect of this game but have FUN doing it! With the costume editor being as robust as it is, costume contests are something that have evolved from people’s desire to be creative and express themselves, and has become a regular part of the game that many people enjoy and have fun participating in. It's always nice to take a quick break from the TF runs or pvp.
The theme will be classic superhero costumes. We're playing a superhero game lets dress like it for a day!
For those looking for more details on what type of costumes we're looking for, please google Golden, Silver or Bronze age of comics, basically any classic superhero costumes.
Also @The Barroness aka enn-vee, will be DJing the whole event. Listen in at:
www.radioftw.com
www.radioftw.com:8000
But wait! It doesn’t stop at just the costumes!
Our contest will not only deal with costumes, but character concepts as well.
The Contest will be in 3 parts:
1: Just the costumes. This will be the traditional contest that everyone is familiar with. We will be picking the coolest costumes. Simplicity is a big deal with these types of costumes.
2: Costumes and Bios. This will be judged by how well the costume represents the bio.
IE: If your bio says you are very heroic, and a straight shooter. Your costume should reflect that in some shape or form, such as bright colors, or no villainous costume pieces.
3: EVERYTHING! Anything you can do standing in place to convey your character concept. That includes: Toggles, Powers (That don’t require an enemy present) and COSTUME CHANGE EMOTES. For this contest we will take into account anything you throw at us, literally or figuratively. Is your character a shape shifting alien who came to earth to do good? Switch between two different costumes while the judge is there, one being the alien look, another being human look with spandex. The possibilities are endless.
Warning: The Everything contest will not be judged on how flashy you look, it will be judged on how well all the flashiness fits into your bio, and your character concept. So keep that in mind.
Rules and requirements for participating in the contest:
All participants will be placed in three separate groups based upon which contest they want to enter.
For the costume contest and the costume/bio contest, simply stand in the designated area and await the results.
For the everything contest, if your character concept requires a costume change emote, please wait for a tell from one of the judges to signify that he is watching, before activating the emote or any powers you have.
There will be multiple finalists from each group, who will be invited to a team, for further judging. If you are invited please stay in place for the final judging and communicate in team chat.
Winners will then be announced and prizes given.
Judges:
As of this post these are the judges, this list may change depending on availability:
@Pie-ro
@Odacer
@Targutmunky
@BadBadGirl
@Xanthorin
Note: No one will be wrongfully judged based on SG or personal drama. If their costume/concept is good they will be fairly judged just the same as anyone else.
Also, if you or your SG would like to assist with this in any way, be it judging, organizing, promoting, or donating rewards, please contact any of the judges listed above.
Rewards:
Along with influence we will be giving out a number of other prizes such as Orange salvage and Halloween costume salvage and possibly hami-o's. Salvage will go to runner ups. and there will be multiple runner ups from each category.
Also there may or may not be a couple secret prizes after the contest.
The main prizes for each contest are as follows:
Prizes are the same for all three contests:
1st place: 200,000,000
2nd place: 150,000,000
3rd place: 100,000,000
After all the prizes are given out, a large-scale pvp, free-for-all match will be set up for any and all players who wish to participate. There may be a prize for this as well. Wear your costumes for this! Superhero fights for the win!
This game severely encourages creativity and individuality with the character creator and with the costume change emotes, but often times people in this game just become a name, or simply copy an already existing superhero. I love being creative, and love to see other people’s ideas. I'm regularly sending random people tells, commenting them on their costumes. So put on your thinking caps and come up with some great character concepts, roll a new toon, or just alter an existing one. There’s no level restrictions for this! Remember creativity and originality will play a big part in this contest. So please no superhero knockoffs or homage’s.
Good Luck to everyone and I hope to see some excellent characters there!
P.S. The costumes in our flyer, above, are some simple examples of the type of costumes we are looking for. Tights with other accessories. Costumes must be 55% tights. Also TIGHTS!
