Read the whole post Dead Light! Next week's theme and a schedule are right there!!
/sulks off aimlessly
So, theoretically I'm judging a Biography contest at 10 pm Eastern tonight. (theoretically only because I haven't seen anything from R-Tech publicizing it, so I dunno if folks will show) But I will be in Pocket D (on Tattered Man) at 10 to read some bios and hand out some cash.
INF, that is! REE-wards!
Best Bios will win some casually earned market money! Make me laugh, make my jaw drop, make yourself awesome!
1ST PLACE: 100 MILLION INF
2ND PLACE: 60 MILLION INF
3RD PLACE: 30 MILLION INF
Honorable Mention: 10 MILLION INF
Just a tip - short and catchy is better than long and cliche'. 
As an example of what I find worthy, here is a bio that I won a contest with way back in the day:

Well, Lemme tell you a story 'bout a man named Jedd. Lived in Paragon City, kept a rifle by his bed! He was out one day, shootin' at some Tsoo. When up from the ground came a bubblin' goo! Waste, that is... Radiiii-O-Active! Terra Volta Tea... The first thing you know, ol Jedd's a feelin' strange. His hands start to glow and his gun begins to change. His friends all say, "Jedd, you're super, man, like Clark!" So he loaded up his gun and he moved to Atlas Park! Town Center, that is... City Hall! Costume Calls... Y'all send me a tell now, y'hear?! |
Statesmonkey Sez: Lighten up! It's a game, for Lincoln's sake!
Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.
Gah, I've been trying to access the forums since Sunday night and had zero luck. >_<
On the plus side, I have been able to pop in game to advertize this over the weekend and at the last few CCs. I'll be making another sweep of adverts across the zones and channels tonight.
Hope to see you guys there!
Thanks again to Casual Player for making tonight's contest possible, and to those who turned up!

2nd Place: Princess Julie

(Bit of a typo in the screen shot. The above list is correct, despite the two 3rd place listings in the picture. Sorry about that!)
The next costume contest is about an hour away! Tonight's theme is "Force of Nature" - Fire, Air, Water, etc. elementals. Hope to see you there!
Had a great turnout tonight! Glad to see so many heroes, villains, and Praetorians have characters that worked with this theme. Tonight's winners are:
1st Place: Vanariad & Water Sprite (tie)
3rd Place: Terra Watts
Honorable Mention: Raging Firestorm
You'll notice that tonight had two 1st place winners. That's because the two players had the same number of votes, and instead of using my vote as a tie-breaker we just upgraded them both to the top prize. Congrats everyone!
We'll be getting updated info on tonight's winners ASAP. Sorry that I wasn't there personally tonight; a power outage kept me out of game. Many thanks to Hercules, Lycrest and Onjo for taking over while I was away!
Our winners were:
1st Pl: Ghost Girl
2nd Pl: Nature's Protector
3rd Pl: Empyreon
Honorable Mention: tie, Flare and Opposing Forces.
I'll get the screenshots to you for processing ASAP.
Sorry for the delay in updates guys! Been a busy, busy week with some crazy weather to boot. We are on schedule for tomorrow with the theme of "Government Work" -- See you there!
P.S.: Herc was kind enough to get those screenshots to me and I'll have those up as soon as possible. Thanks Herc!
Many thanks to our contestants tonight! Winners of the "Government Work" contest:
1st Place: Audience Member
2nd Place: Ben Bernanke
3rd Place: Dingo Wilde
Honorable Mention: Chironex & Taxibot Belle
I'm afraid that no screenshots are available for this one. If you were one of the winning contestants and would like your picture posted, feel free to post it in this thread, send me a screenshot at RTechCoH@gmail.com or contact me in-game so I can swing by to snap a pic.
Since the IDFS has had a schedule/format change I've started a new thread for it. You can get updated details here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=262908
What is the theme for next week? Is there a schedule or something so I could be prepared?
