So I assume if more than one team ties for the least deaths, then the one with the fastest time will win?
The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

Just two more days until the big event, folks! I wanted to let you all know that you'll be able to pick several event organizers and assistants out of the crowd by looking for the players in referee uniforms.
Hope to see you Saturday evening!
This sounds AWESOME! Sadly, its not on my server
Best of luck to those who enter and kudos to the organizers! Great idea
Dont worry, im going to win this
We're well under way and have launched a dozen or more teams already, just within the first 30 minutes! There's still plenty of time to enter, so feel free to join us in Cimerora if you want a chance at the prizes!
10 minutes until the costume contest! We're meeting up in Cimerora along the bridge, near the gate to the castle. Feel free to send me an in-game tell (@R-Tech) if you need directions once in zone.
Good luck!
Man Infinity, you guys really know how to kick ***! We had dozens of people participate in this event; so many, in fact, at one point we spawned a second instance of Cimerora! I cannot say "thank you" enough to all of the people who turned out for the race and the costume contest and made this event a success. We had lots of people volunteer to anchor and that really helped out, and all of our players were patient, knowledgeable, and/or skilled. You rock. Seriously.
You'll see just how much you rock below. Because of the big turnout and number of people who massacred this TF utterly, we even added a few bonus prizes!
So, here's what you've all been waiting for... Our winners! I'll be posting screenshots of winning costumes and times/death totals soon.

And stay tuned: we have more events in store! Including the start of weekly themed costume contests held every Wednesday evening, starting on March 9th!
I would like to thank R-tech and his team for all of team MoHopper X for putting on the event and having it run very smoothly. I have to admit we are surprised and honored to share the podium with such great players.

P.E.R.C. Presents: Iron-Man ITF Race
Saturday, March 5th @ 7 PM Eastern
Over 7 billion inf. in prizes!
What:
The Iron-Man ITF is a challenging race against the clock and your fellow players as part of a 3-man team. You and your team mates will fight your way through countless Cimeroran traitors, mythical beasts, and cosmic threats all the while aiming to set the best time for completion amongst all the competing teams. There will be prizes awarded to the top 3 fastest teams and the team with the fewest deaths! And, following the race, there will be a Cimeroran-themed costume contest!
This event was suggested by a player; Infinity's own Dark Bladed. Many thanks to him for taking the time to talk to us about it!
When:
All times listed are for Saturday, March 5th.
The race window begins at: 7 PM Eastern / 6 PM Central / 4 PM Pacific
The race window ends at: 9:30 PM Eastern / 8:30 PM Central / 6:30 PM Pacific
The deadline for submitting screenshots is: 11 PM Eastern / 10 PM Central / 8 PM Pacific
The Cimeroran costume contest begins at: 10 PM Eastern / 9 PM Central / 7 PM Pacific
Winners of the Iron-Man ITF Race will be announced at: Midnight Eastern / 11 PM Central / 9 PM Pacific
If one or more team(s) are waiting to form near the end of the race window we will assist until the queue is cleared, but no new teams will be added to the queue after the 9:30 PM cut-off. This means there is a possibility that a team or two may begin after the listed end of the race window. The deadline for screenshots will remain the same, no matter when your team started.
Where:
The race will take place in Cimerora. Players who are interested in participating should meet with one of the P.E.R.C. Representatives who will be waiting near the TF contact, Imperious. To enter Cimerora, your character will need to have Midnighter Club access. The costume contest will also take place in Cimerora!
Who May Participate:
Characters of any alignment who are level 35+ and able to enter Cimerora. Please note that, since this is a race, level 50 characters will usually stand a better chance at winning and are therefore highly recommended.
Players are allowed to organize their own team of 3 in advance of the event. That means yes, you and your friends can plan to come as a group! Duos and individuals will be matched with other available players present for the event by the P.E.R.C. staff, so even if you show up solo you have a chance to compete!
Prizes:
To be eligible for prizes, your team will need to e-mail a screenshot* to: RTechCoH@GMail.com (see below for more details).
The race prizes are as follows:
3rd Place Team: 200 Million Inf. Per Player
2nd Place Team: 500 Million Inf. Per Player
1st Place Team: 1 Billion Inf. Per Player
Team With Fewest Deaths: 500 Million Inf. Per Player
The costume contest prizes are:
3rd Place: 200 Million Inf.
2nd Place: 300 Million Inf.
1st Place: 500 Million Inf.
Rules & Additional Info:
1) Teams competing in the race will be limited to three (3) players maximum.
Since the TF requires 6 players to start, P.E.R.C. Reps and assistants will be present to provide enough members for a team to begin the race.
2) You must have a member of P.E.R.C. or an approved assistant on your team, as a temporary anchor.
We will only accept entries from teams that had an approved player there to verify a clean start. They will remain long enough for the TF to begin and then drop once the other anchors have quit the team.
3) You can run the TF as many times as you want during the event window.
You are allowed to switch characters and teams between races. Only a team's (and individual's) best time will be considered for judging. For example: John Doe is on the team that takes 3rd place, then switches to another team that wins 1st place. John Doe will receive 1 billion inf., not 1.2 billion. The prize for fewest deaths is exempt from this. A team can both place 1st, 2nd, or 3rd and still win that as well.
4) Outside buffing is not allowed.
This means that players caught using secondary accounts or friends to buff their characters before entering a mission may be docked on time or disqualified, at the judges' descretion.
5) The team is allowed to use temporary powers (including powers like Shivans, Nukes and Vanguard HVAS).
We will be doing our best to make sure that everyone who is interested in participating in the race and present during the time window is able to compete, but due to the nature of the event we cannot guarantee anyone a spot on a team. The event coordinators will attempt to create balanced teams with a mix of archetypes, pulled from the available pool of interested players.
Screenshots
Times will be judged using screenshots.
One player from the team will need to take a screenshot that shows the team window, the XP/Menu bar (the portion that shows TF challenge settings) and the TF completion window with the final time and number of deaths. You don't need to rename or resize the screenshot; just pull it out of your CoH Screenshots folder and attach it to an e-mail.
To qualify for any of the race prizes, your team must submit a screenshot to: RTechCoH@GMail.com
Each team should discuss who will be taking and submitting the screenshot, as this will not be done by the judges and assistants. Make sure it includes all the information required!
The command to make the UI visible in screenshots is: /screenshotui 1
The command to disable the UI afterwards is: /screenshotui 0
Special note: The TF window will only accurately track deaths if a Death Counter is selected as part of the TF challenge settings when the TF is formed.
This is why we need a screenshot showing the XP/Menu bar & TF challenge settings: To ensure accurate tracking!
If you have any questions about this or other event rules/details, please feel free to contact a Rep on the forums or in-game at @R-Tech @HercuIes or @Head-Cutter
