All animal costumes get double points
No use of the color orange
Bird heads may only be white
Booster pack costume pieces will not impact scoring
Powerset and costume pairings should not agree
All black costumes automatically win
/Energy Brutes need not apply
Pink is overdone, use wisely
Incarnate costume pieces score Incarnate Points
Bonus points for booster pieces
During judging, do not move, do not pose funny, do not walk; remain immobile or be expelled
In the event of a tie, PvP will determine winner
Duo entries will be scored as a team
No catgirls
Do not customize weapons
Big hands equal big points
Wings required
Piston boots worth 40 points
Green hair must have leaves
Powerset color customizations better be in pink
Duo entries will give double weight to the male toon
Animation customizations required, so be ready to execute powers at judging
In the event that a Smurf costume is entered, the team will drag said toon to the Arena and smurf him/her up good and proper
Insects given more points than mammals
Do not taunt happy fun ball
The more pets, the better
Points are of variable value; Reward Points are worth 50x Incarnate Points
No smoking allowed (wings, auras, etc)
When waiting to be judged, dance, emote sports, invent; do something interesting darn it
When it comes to bribery, nothing says "pick me" like: Absolute Amazement: Recharge/Accuracy
Extra points for a constant stream of chatter to the Protector Vigilance channel
Toon name / background / poweset linking should make sense
Cigars are cool
All toons judged on own merit; no duo / trio / pet backup scoring
There is a 1000 Inf ante to enter this contest
Bonus points for best use of the color eau-de-nil

On a side note, it looks like my summer vacation is over. I start work again on monday... figures they call me back right before double xp starts.
The team filled up very quickly this week, funny how that happens when SFS and the WST line up. 
Team Size: 8
Deaths: 12

Next week is double xp weekend... in theory anyway. >.> Next up on the List is the Renault Strike Force, which awards the Leviathan Badge as well as randomly awarding the Coral Amulet, Coral Hammer, or Coral Shards temp power. So if you want to spend part of your double xp weekend beating up fish people, meet up in sharkhead next Sunday, August 14th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
I got a lvl 21 villain on this server, can I get mentored up for Renault?

It is double xp weekend though, you do have plenty of time to work up the levels for it.

Had a great double xp edition of the Renault SF. We got a full team and I remembered to take screenshots the whole way through, so there's a bunch extra in this week's photo album! 
Time: 1:25:47
Deaths: 2
Team Size: 8

Next week we're deviating from the List and running a special edition of SFS which includes a Master run of the Barracuda Strike Force as well as a costume contest amongst the team members! I'll post more detailed info in the next couple of days, so stay tuned...
Ok, so on Sunday, August 21st at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT I'll be running the Laylapalooza edition of Strike Force Sunday. It'll be a Master attempt at Barracuda (level 45+) followed by a mini costume contest.
- The contest has a 100+mil inf reward.
- There is only 1 winner, this is survival of the fittest.
- There's no particular theme but here's a short list of rules:
- Cannot use orange
- Must use Booster pack costume pieces
- No catgirls
- Wings required
- Must be subtle
- Cannot use Booster pack costume pieces
- Must be obviously evil
- Cannot use black
- Cannot use red
- Must include prime colors
- The player whose costume breaks the most rules will win.
- You may bribe/flatter me for extra points as well as using slander on your opponents to lower their points.
- Bribes can be in the form of inf/recipes/salvage and will be added to the reward.

What if Stone and I pool our bribes and split the winnings between us? Just think how many Hydraulic Pistons and how much Gold you could have!
Had lots of fun running my first costume contest! So what I did to judge was I assigned random point values to the 10 rules of the contest, breaking a rule got you the points while obeying the rule got you nothing. Then for the bribes and such I kinda made up the point values as I went along. In the end the reward pool was up to:
[Calibrated Accuracy: Acc/End (Recipe).50]
[Luck of the Gambler: Defense (Recipe).50]
[Quickfoot: Run Speed (Recipe).50]
[Quickfoot: Run/Endurance (Recipe).50]
[Tempered Readiness: Acc/Dam/Slow (Recipe).50]
[Numina's Convalescence: End/Rech (Recipe).50]
[Ghost Widow's Embrace: Chance for Psionic Damage (Recipe).50]
[Essence of the Furies]
[Essence of the Furies]
100,700,000 inf
The winner was @Dark Chaos with 395 points, followed by @Omega 3 and @Burning Verto with 215 points each. Also here's some screens of the contestants:
And that was only half of the special Laylapalooza edition of Strike Force Sundays! Next up was the Master attempt at the Barracuda Strike Force. Sadly Invincible Reichsman didn't want us getting that badge, but for the final fight we probably did about as well as I've ever seen a team do on this one. Also I crashed right at the end so I didn't get a screenshot of the end stats, luckily I wrote them down while the screen was frozen.
Team Size: 7
Deaths: 3
Time: 1:41:44

Next week we'll be back on the List with the Mender Tesseract Strike Force and the Mender Lazarus Strike Force. Also, if everyone is up for it, we'll run the Second Villain Respec Trial since those are all quick. So meet up in villain ouroboros next Sunday, August 28th at 5pm PDT/8pm EDT!
Thanks for running the MoCuda SF!
I had a great time.
Take care.

Thanks for having me!
Out of curiosity, though, can you list how everyone did on that point system? Just wondering how bad I did from not doing any bribes.

Yeah, everyone's scores are below:|

@Dark Chaos - 395
@Omega 3 - 215
@Mave - 135
@Gordon Gorilla - 140
@Demon Shell - 180
@Burning Verto - 215
I think I at least learned a lot for the next time I do one of these. I need to think up a way for the contestants to somehow backstab each other, like true villains, without having a negative impact on the strike force run.
This is the best costume contest I've ever read about.

Or....a bunch of stalkers and/or crazy melee'ers to rush in and steal eachothers kills. And give points for each boss kill steal. Or something.
Huh.
I wonder how I ended up so high without bribing at all.
But I agree! I hate costume contests but this was a lot more interesting!

And for the second one, you automatically win if you ignore the rules and bring your energy blasters and peacebringers to knock everything out of melee range?
- Instead of a specific theme I was thinking of coming up with a long list of arbitrary and conflicting rules, and the costume that breaks the most rules wins.
- Also since this is a villanous contest, I will of course accept bribes and/or flattery to influence the final decision. (All bribes will be added to the reward, so it's sort of a gamble)
Does this sound interesting at all? If so, I'm open to suggestions for some of the rules for costume design.
