The Player Event Resource Committee is very happy to support "Day of Vigilance" on the Protector server. In order to kick off the event, we will be hosting a Dress Your Badge Contest. Laylarei has generously agreed to donate one of her beautiful handmade dolls to the winner! There will also be some random prizes given on behalf of PERC during the costume/bio contests on July 9th (including a few costume codes!). Thank you very much to Stalemate and the other fine folks of Protector for allowing PERC to be a part of such an awesome event.

You know, I wasn't even interested in this event until I saw that one of the Layladolls was part of the grand prize.

NOW you have my undivided attention.


City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

I know what badge you're going for!

As a side note: The Day of Vigilance is on July 9th. Am I correct in assuming this is some kind of pre-event costume contest, since it's happening the day before the actual event? Also, are you going to get screenies with the UI turned on of all the contestants before people leave? I think it'd be a great thing to have posted in this thread after the fact!

Great idea re: screenshots... if someone can do it.

I'll be on a flight back to Canada on July 8, and the date for the P.E.R.C. contest was chosen as a "kickoff" to Day of Vigilance, as well as for practival reasons.

Yes this is a pre-event kickoff the night before the official Day of Vigilance. I will do my very best to take as many screen shots as I can I will definitely post the winners, but will try to get group shots as well!

I have here a list of 26 badge titles with costume ideas for each one and which character I'd use for which badge...

Now to narrow it down to just one. >.>;

I wish this had been on Liberty, I could have brought my character Ghoulish - wouldn't want to bring her if I couldn't get her to 25 to "complete" her name. But here's a pic to share.
