The number of reward merits you get is based on how many ingredients you get as well as the poundage of the turkey. Completion of the TF will also award the I'm Thankful It's Over badge and the Pilgrim costume set.

Why the hell would I try to convince her otherwise? More people's always better at Thanksgiving! |

We've got our Roman armor, martial arts clothes and magical attire. We need other types of archaic clothing.

Lol, that would be Epic !
"chase music from the Benny Hill show" and that would be a classic touch

There's a part of me somewhere deep down that recognizes that this thread is in fact funny, but mostly it just makes me really, really sad.
If you'd added a bit about setting up the tree after Thanksgiving dinner and the shopping riot being accompanied by awful holiday music, you'd have pretty much picked out everything I hate about the holidays.

I think the turkey GM should have unique attacks, along with temp powers for the Heroes, so that the chicken fights from Family Guy can be recreated.

If only they would create that event. The lolz alone would be worth the price of admission.

It's not quite what Steelclaw posted, but I did just write arc #347683, "The Wentworth's Thanksgiving Day Parade," a two-mission arc set up to be soloable easily. Rescue a Paragon City tradition from menaces likely and unlikely! See the Sally the Lake Monster balloon! Okay, maybe not the last one, but I would've included it if it were possible.|

As I said in the MA forum, this arc is not recommended for those who don't think pilgrims, marching bands, subtle humor, Nemesis, helium, or large flightless birds can be funny. Author carries no cash.
P.S: You can make a suprisingly good pilgrim costume using the Magic pack and the head scale sliders.

Steelclaw, for the Giant Turkey GM, you forgot about one of its most devestating powers, the "Triptophan Combined Attack"! 
This uses a combined unique mental attack of "Mass Hypnosis" (ranged (Targeted AoE), Foe Sleep) and "Total Domination" (Ranged (Targeted AoE), Foe Hold) with a 10% chance of "Mass Confusion" (Ranged (Targeted AoE), Foe Confuse). The Mass Confusion makes you want to wander off, find a "Lost" Headman Blaster or Mutate Slammer (the ones with the TV for a helmet) and try and watch football. 
Devestating attack power!!!
Save me dem giblets!

You should wait until Christmas Eve to get a tree. They become much, much cheaper as time goes on. I remember one year we got a tree that was originally something like $150 for about $10.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

The Developers have left it to me to announce and explain the newest Annual happening here in City of Heroes. The brand new Thanksgiving Day Event!
(This event will only be taking place on the U.S. Servers. Not only because our Thanksgiving Day takes place at this time of year, but also because we Americans tend only to be thankful if someone tells us to.)
The Event will start this Monday, November 23rd at 9:00 AM EST (to heck with you non-east coasters) and will end at midnight on Sunday, November 29th.
The event will include:
* The Thanksgiving Dinner Task Force: Your mother, despite earnest attempts to convince her otherwise, has decided to invite everyone in your family, everyone in the neighborhood and most of the known free world over to the house for Thanksgiving Dinner. Since she has such a super-powered kid she's depending on YOU to go get all the fixin's. Of course, she announced her intentions the DAY BEFORE Thanksgiving, so supplies are low. Fight other desperate, last minute shoppers for cranberry sauce, stuffing, table centerpiece and, of course, the Holy-Grail... The Turkey. The number of reward merits you get is based on how many ingredients you get as well as the poundage of the turkey. Completion of the TF will also award the I'm Thankful It's Over badge and the Pilgrim costume set.
* Black Friday Invasion: This invasion is tied directly in to the Zone's Wentworths/Black Market. Every 200th item bought at these places will result in a run on the zone by crazed shoppers. The shoppers will appear and begin grabbing everything they possibly can. As they attack the heroes/villains the shoppers will scream things like "My Timmy would LOVE that helmet!" or "I saw that Cape first!" or "Get your own danged thermo-nuclear power gauntlet!" Defeating specific numbers of Minion, Lt, Boss and Elite Boss enemies will award their respective badges: Mall Mauler, Thrift Shop Shark, Specialty Store Stampeder and Retail Rioter.
* Now THAT'S a Big Turkey: Any time the Dinner TF is completed it will spawn a Giant Monster somewhere in a random zone. The GM is a giant Turkey who is very much aware that everyone is gunning for it. Rather than willingly give in to filling the bellies of half the city, the Turkey will run from any hero or villain it sees. The moment it spots one the zone will fill with the chase music from the Benny Hill show and the Turkey will take off at a sprint. The team(s) must spread out to chase the Turkey into a corner somehow. Once it is cornered it will turn to fight. The Turkey has basic peck and talon-claw attacks but its most devastating assault by far is the Giblet Vengeance. It will summon 2 to 3 Giblet minions per character attacking it. Giblet Minions attack by squishily entangling and holding, doing minor damage over time and leaving "gravy" stains on costumes. Defeating the mammoth Turkey will give 2 reward merits, 5 antacids and the Them's Good Eatin' badge.
We hope you all enjoy the event! And wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
