In the Arena of Logic, I fight unarmed.
Let me start off by saying: I am sorry to be critical, Miz. I mean no personal disrespect.
I'm having a hard time with the "categories" presented.
-Formal Wear / Dress Wear
-Casual / Street Attire
-Swimwear
-Misc. (Alternative, Outerwear, Lingerie, etc.)
Here we are in a superhero game, and not one of the categories is for uniform/costume. I can understand using those elements for enhancement of a superheroes costume, but having a costume contest without "costumes" seems silly.
When comic book characters were created, their wardrobe was modeled on circus performers and strong-men; bright and colorful, showing off the enhanced body shape, etc... This made them stand out from the other figures on the printed page of comics.
This game is based around the mythos of the iconic recognizable costumes of the superhero, (Such as Superman, batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-man, Capt. America, etc.) and although the nineties took a brief detour from that iconic look (like stupid Adam-X with his ridiculous backwards baseball hat) with a boatload of Anti-heroes in non-tight costumes, heroes aways end up BACK in their tights.
Anyways,.... sorry for my rant. I think there should be a category for "comic book costume".

I understand where you are coming from Dinah. But as a PERC Rep its also our job to come up with different fun events for people to attend. We have done the Super Hero CC many times over. And we get an outcry for something different. I understand that I can not please everyone. But this event was posted as a fashion show not a CC. And if you are going to soly base this game upon the history of super heroes then why did the Devs even develop the new walk they placed into the game.

Except that this idea wasn't thought up by a PERC Rep. It's merely bein' implemented by one.

didn't this idea get stolen from a vent convo during a hami raid?
Are all the Champion PERC Judges in UHB?

**As far as this being a "stolen" idea....Virtue has been doing runway fashion shows for years and did one the SAME day the catwalk power hit the live server. There really is no such thing as an original event for the most part, just recycled pre-used ones.
GL Nibbles, Dazz and Cherry on your event!
Why don't you guys do stuff like this in pocket D so villains can get in on it?

I'm sure the fact that this only recently came up on Champion nearly directly after the conversation on Vent has nothin' to do with it.|

Never said it didn't. What I said is whoever was talking about it on vent did not have an original idea, its been done. That would be irrelevant either way because who cares? People are taking their precious time to run events for the server and all the ********, making unnecessary sarcastic comments or being rude shouldn't be happening. Don't like the event, don't attend. It really is that simple.

I Love Multi Quote!
Enough of that, I have been following this thread since yesterday. I want to address each point.
Quote:
While I do not disagree with you, this contest was specifically designed as a fashion show. Now I understand that costumes could be considered fashion, however the idea was to run it like an actual fashion show. In my best estimation there are thousands of costume contests, why turn this into one. |

In conclusion if anyone has any questions or concerns post them here or send me a PM. If the person who claims to be the originator of this idea wished to file a grievance over this please send me a PM or post here. That is all

That's cool. I was mostly curious because of all the criticism the AoW events got over letting AoW members participate in an objective competition. So are the SGs that the judges, for this subjective competition, belong to allowed to enter?

As such this is a PERC Event so we do have other PERC Reps from other servers come help judge to eliminate bias.
Everyone is allowed to participate whom is on Champion! SO COME ONE AND COME ALL!!!
Thanks Talon

oh wow.... the Idea was Cherry's so my question is, yes she is in perc but why not let her post it, and head up the idea? Granted I'm sure the idea has been done on other servers but it was new to her, she had a lot of excitement in her voice, hence why some of us are on the defensive.
We're ******** about who gets to post event announcements, whose idea it was, and "If I were running it, I'd do X", now? Did I miss something?
It's a fashion show. How hard is this to understand?
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

P.E.R.C. is a group effort. We all help with events. We post events in our P.E.R.C. Forums for everyone to take a look at before making them public. By the time an event gets thru the process alot of people have had their hands in it. Who came up with the idea and who adjusted it or modified it is a moot point. Its a P.E.R.C. event and we all work together.|

One last thing, I am looking into different alternatives as to who posts events to alleviate concerns about ownership. If you have any questions or concerns shoot me a PM.

Like I said before, we actually just did do an event villainside and didn't have much of a turnout (about 3 players, a few more straggled in after the contest had started). Like Nibs also pointed out the lighting in Pocket D is horrendous for judging costume contest (in my opinion).
I am more then happy however to show love to red side. Like I said previously I'd love to get in touch with players who play more along red side and devise some Red Side only type contests as well. If you would like to send me suggestions or feedback shoot me a PM and I would be happy to review, develop, and converse about them!

We both need to learn to support each other whole-heartedly! If we saw enough villains players come forth and say HEY WE WANT THESE EVENTS AND WE WILL SHOW UP then we would totally do them. Let me know your thoughts CL as we always are trying to figure out how we support Red Side but still gain enough participation. We do want what is best for both sides of the server!

that I was joking. I know PERC doesn't hate red side.

I know you were joking but some people do think that CL! And I'd like to work really hard to get rid of misconceptions and work with all you awesome people to make events more fun for all! That is truly what we ALL (not just PERC) are about when it comes to running events! We do this for the community and to have fun and to take this game beyond any other and do those wild, crazy stuff no other game can possibly do!
STAY MARVELOUS
