Sisterhood Sunday Event - April 11, 2010

****PLEASE NOTE - THERE HAS BEEN A TIME CHANGE FOR SUNDAYS EVENT. WE WILL BE STARTING AT 4 PM PDT.****

We decided to do something totally different for this week's Sisterhood Sunday Event.
We hope everyone will enjoy what we came up with. ;-)

While gaining security levels have you done you missions for content and followed the stories in CoH?

Then you should be able to figure out what Sisterhood will be hosting for this Sundays event from the clues that we will be posting this week.
The plan was to release one clue a day, but with our website problems, the post kept getting put off.
So instead of one clue a day I will post 3 clues today and 2 clues on Friday.

We will post the event details later in the week, but for now here are your first clues…….

Clue #1
What contact was once an inspector for the FCC and quit his job to become a "media watchdog" working with heroes?

Clue #2
Your contact sends you to an office building to rescue several people. One of the people you are sent to rescue is Mike Schwartzwald.
Who is Mike Schwartzwald and who does he work for?

Clue #3
Joe Baker is a hostage that you have rescued during one of your many missions. He confirms a rumor regarding two villain factions working together.
Who are the two villain factions that are working together?

Enjoy!!!

Tune in tomorrow for your final two clues.

Same BAT time, same BAT channel

;-)

Do we post the answers here or save them for Sunday?

Clueless I'll be on early so I can follow the people who are clued

AV

I am starting my Task Force early but it is long. Can I join a little late if there is room on a team?

****PLEASE NOTE - THERE HAS BEEN A TIME CHANGE FOR SUNDAYS EVENT. WE WILL BE STARTING AT 4 PM PDT.****

Ok, did everyone get the answers to the 3 clues yesterday?

Good!! Are we ready for our final clues today?

Ok, Here we are then, your final clues......


Clue #4
Your contact's informant has told him that there is a group providing the enemy faction with the "newest and hippest" weaponry.

Who is it that you discover is supplying these weapons to the enemy group?

Have you figured out who the enemy faction is?
What kind of freak would belong to such a dastardly group?

Clue #5
Your contact sends you to the Portal Corporation to see if they have figured out if these armies you discovered are under the control of an arch-villain who was last seen before the Rikti war battling with Statesman and a number of other Heroes. When that battle reached Portal Corporation the arch-villain dashed into a portal that led to the Rikti home land. This in turn opened it allowing the Rikti to invade.

Can you name this arch-villain?

How about it, what is the Sisterhood hosting on Sunday?

Check back tomorrow for all the answers and all the details to Sunday's Sisterhood Event.

I can tell you this much, the time has been changed from our normal 12 noon PDT to 4:00 PM PDT

This change was made for two reasons (1) to allow everyone to attend both events on Sunday (Sisterhood's and Devil You May Know's TF) and to allow GEL to even get to attend one, she has to work all weekend.

Same BAT time, same BAT channel ;-)

As long as someone laughs, even if it is just you.

****PLEASE NOTE - THERE HAS BEEN A TIME CHANGE FOR SUNDAYS EVENT. WE WILL BE STARTING AT 4 PM PDT.****

Ok so everyone has it all figured out, got all the answers to the clues and know exactly what Sisterhood is doing for this week's Sisterhood Sunday Event, right????

Ok, great we'll see you there tomorrow at the new time of 4:00 PM PDT.


Different BAT Time, Different BAT Channel

****PLEASE NOTE - THERE HAS BEEN A TIME CHANGE FOR SUNDAYS EVENT. WE WILL BE STARTING AT 4 PM PDT.****

ROFL

Ok, I'll behave! First the answers to all the clues, then all the details for tomorrow's event.

Clue #1
What contact was once an inspector for the FCC and quit his job to become a "media watchdog" working with heroes?

Answer #1
Neal Kendrick is a Technology origin contact for level range 30-34. He is located in the Seven Gates neighborhood of Brickstown. Neal Kendrick is also the contact that hands out the "Corruptor Badge" mission, but that isn't what we are doing Sunday.

Clue #2
Your contact sends you to an office building to rescue several people. One of the people you are sent to rescue is Mike Schwartzwald.
Who is Mike Schwartzwald and who does he work for?


Answer #2
Mike Schwartzwald is an investigative reporter for a webzine named "Hypertypes". Hypertypes reports on the activities of all super-powered individuals, both heroes and villains alike. Perhaps Mike Schwartzwald has found some dirt on someone.

While on you mission you find the Body of Mike Schwartzwald
You arrived too late to save Mike Schwartzwald, the investigative reporter. In his hand was a crumpled piece of paper bearing the name 'Joe Baker.'



Clue #3
Joe Baker is a hostage that you have rescued during one of your many missions. He confirms a rumor regarding two villain factions working together.
Who are the two villain factions that are working together?


Answer #3
The Crey and The Freakshow
You meet with Joe Baker and have learned some interesting information.
Joe's story
After you rescued him from the Freakshow, Joe Baker told you:
'Look, I'm never going to say any of this in court, I know Crey too well for that. But I will tell you what I can.
I worked for Crey Industries. We were losing sales to a competitor, and they were family owned and wouldn't sell their business to us. So I was ordered to go to a meeting for 'Radical Acquisitions Strategies'. Imagine what I thought when I walked into a room full of Freakshow! They were asking those maniacs to attack our competitor, like it was something they did all the time. The Freak's leader, this huge maniac called Dreck, he was barely listening. Looked like he was gonna start tearing the place up and see how fast we could run. And then I recognized him. This Dreck, he'd changed, but it was Daniel Watson. We'd worked together. At Crey.


Clue #4
Your contact's informant has told him that there is a group providing the enemy faction with the "newest and hippest" weaponry.

Who is it that you discover is supplying these weapons to the enemy group?


Answer #4
Your mission, should you choose to accept...Look for a juicer called 'Dap-Dap;' he's the one making the deals. These machines are really quite incredible. You have to admire the ingenuity. After some investigating you discover the weapons supplier calls themselves Nemesis? Interesting.

Have you figured out who the enemy faction is? Dap-Dap tha Deal-maka' is a Freakshow Champion Swiper
What kind of freak would belong to such a dastardly group? The Freaks that's who...


Clue #5
Your contact sends you to the Portal Corporation to see if they have figured out if these armies you discovered are under the control of an arch-villain who was last seen before the Rikti war battling with Statesman and a number of other Heroes. When that battle reached Portal Corporation the arch-villain dashed into a portal that led to the Rikti home land. This in turn opened it allowing the Rikti to invade.

Can you name this arch-villain?

Answer #5
Nemesis himself
When you reach Portal Corporation you are told that the last time Nemesis was ever seen was just before the Rikti War. He fought Statesman and a number of other heroes, but when the fight reached Portal Corporation, he dashed into a portal that led to the Rikti home world. If they can trace his movements within that dimension,
they may be able to determine if he has really come back. One of the scientists tells you that Dr. Cooke has been kidnapped by The Rikti, which leads to your next mission, to rescue Dr. Cooke. After saving him from The Rikti he tells you...


Dr. Cooke's story
After you rescued him, Dr. Cook told you:
'The Rikti broke in just when I was about to run my trace. I didn't know how things would turn out, so I sent the instructions to another Portal Corp. lab. If you go there, you may be able to find out whether Nemesis really did manage to get back to our reality.'

Which leads to your next mission, Rescue the scientists...

You saved the scientists and learned some interesting information.

The tracing of Nemesis
One of the scientists you rescued told you:
"We traced Nemesis through the portal network. He covered his tracks pretty well, but we've gained a lot of experience tracing trans-dimensional travel since the war.
He never went to the Rikti home world. He slipped away to one dimension, then sent the heroes chasing him to another. Too bad for us, it was the Rikti's home dimension.
We weren't able to trace all of his movements through dimensions, but the signs strongly suggest that Nemesis could have returned."



All of the above clues come directly from the story arc "The Freakshow War"

The Sisterhood Sunday Event this week is totally different than any event that we have ever hosted before. We are hoping to introduce some players and get other players excited about the stories and content in City of Heroes.

Excellent job on the clues. I give you full marks on your O.W.l.s. OW

Thanks go to the Sisterhood for hosting this event.

I liked the clues. I knew some of them and a couple threw me a bit because I didn't remember them. I had not run this story arc in a while, nearly all my characters are in the 40's or below 30. It was a fun refresher.

Thanks again,
Paul

Thanks as always for hosting the event.

I'd been looking forward to the event all week as I've never done that task force before, but had to bail just before the event kicked off due to an unplanned situation here at the ol' Hornet hive. Shucks and other comments.

Apologies to Night Dawn's team. Hope I didn't cause folks problems.
.

It was an amazing turnout. I was pretty overwhelmed when I logged in to see the crowd and try to get a handle on teams. The story arc, The Freakshow War, is one of the best stories out there. Throw in 33 merits for the Flashback and it's even better.

Thank you to everyone that participated. It was very fun and it was an excellent way to get a break from the well worn signature TFs in the game.

The Sisterhood Sunday Event on April 11, 2010 was an entirely new type of event for us. Even the posts regarding the event were different. We did it in the form of clues spread out over a couple of days, with the answers and the event detail being posted on Saturday evening.
The Sisterhood Sunday Event was a Flashback mission in Ouroboros, The Freakshow War.
It appears to have been a success with out highest number of participants at 29 people, possibly 31. We had a total of 4 teams, 3 teams of 7 and 1 team of 8. I ended up with a couple of names that did not appear on any of the team rosters.
I am not sure if they were there for the event or were just watching.
The two not on team rosters were:
Heavenly Perverse on Heavenly Perverse
Lightening Queen on Twin Gun Tina
Since this was not a race there are no finishing places or no race times to post.

Our teams consisted of the following rosters.
