Laylapalooza--Event starting August 19th

Howdy folks! Next month, during the weekend of the 19th--or more specifically, Friday evening of the 19th until the following Monday of the 22nd, Layla Rei and myself will be hosting an event. There will be fun to had by all--and if you're not having fun you're doing it wrong!

Without further ado, the schedule:
Please note that all times are Eastern.

Friday, 9pm- Badge Hunting

Geas of the Kind Ones
We'll start off doing a Katie Hannon taskforce (Level 30+), and follow up by seeking out the Croatoa GMs and farming the ghost defeat mission (since that's the defeat badge that is regulated by the night cycle in Croatoa). If you find yourself not needing this accolade, you can just join us for the Katie and alt out, or wait for the next part.

10:00pm--Special Edition of Kheldian Fridays!
Myself, @AIB, and @Septipheran will be running a special edition of Kheldian Fridays! So bring your kheld, because we'll be running the Lady Grey Task Force (45+). There will be a costume contest upon completion of our task force--the theme is your best kheldian themed costume and the winner will get 100 million influence.

10:30pm--Atlas Medallion (Moonfire TF)
Layla will be running the Moonfire TF (Level 23+) to help people get the Warwolf and Vampryi badges. The rest of the Atlas Medallion requirements are exploration badges and plaques (and that short 5 minute flashback mission that we aren't going to do unless someone REALLY needs help on it).

11:30pm/12:00am--Cavern of Transcendence/Julius the Kind Hearted Troll arc
This will be a NON ghosting version of the CoT, in an effort to get the tricky Volcanic badge, which is gotten via red magma Igneous enemies. Now, by non ghosting, I mean that after we warp to the actual mission, we will wade through the enemies and knock out all the pesky igneous we see. We probably won't have enough to get the badge, but every little bit helps.

Edit to add: The Julius arc from the hollows has an Igneous map as the very first mission, so we may or may not do the CoT, depending on turnout/vote.

Saturday, 11am
(This will be a busy day, and all times are approximate)
There will be random Hide and Seek events in between the other ones on Saturday, for a prize of 25 million influence a capture, for each of us.

11am--Master of Kahn TF

12:30pm--Master of Lady Grey TF

3:00pm--Master of ITF

5:00pm--Master of Apex TF

6:30pm--Costume Contest! (Many Rewards, see below)
There will be 3 categories for this CC. You can pick whichever one that you feel like trying for, but you can only choose one, since we will be judging them all simultaneously.

First Category: Dress as your version of Layla!
Requirements: Costume must have blue skin and pink hair. (If costume features a hood, or anything that would otherwise block your hair color, you may do that.) If you don't know what layla looks like, shame on you. Oh, and also, see this.

1st place reward: A free Layla doll AND 200 million influence! (Winner may choose any character of theirs to make a doll out of.)
2nd place reward: One purple recipe and 100 million influence.
3rd place reward: 50 million influence.

Second Category: Dress as your version of Stone!
Requirements: My character isn't quite as iconic as Layla's, but Stone has Hipster hair and tattoos. If you don't know what he normally looks like, I can't say I blame you, because I'm a big altoholic . Examples are here.

1st place reward: A custom chibi drawing of their favorite character by Roah Brett and 200 million influence.
2nd place reward: 100 million influence.
3rd place reward: 50 million influence.

Third Category: If you don't feel up to making a Layla or a Stone costume, you're in luck. All you need to do is making something that will make Layla laugh! (Is that vague enough for you? Good!) We look forward to seeing what you come up with.

There will only be one winner of this category, and the reward is a secret!


8:00pm--MoSTF Race!
Everyone from the costume contest is encouraged to attend in a Layla vs Stone MoSTF race. We would prefer if you kept your costumes from the contest on, and we'll split into teams to race to see who wins the master first. If we have more than two teams, the more the merrier.

Rewards go to the first team that successfully returns with a master badge. Each person on the winning team will get a random purple recipe for participating. If both teams agree on it before hand, there will also be a "Mulligan" rule, in which both teams restart if one of the teams have an early...mistake, on the first mission.


Sunday!

11am--SG/VG Base contest
Any SG/VG out there that has a base they're proud of are welcomed to attend. We will meet in RWZ and take turns going to each of them. There will only be one winner of this contest, but the winning SG gets a discount at Layla's etsy shop for EVERY member in their supergroup (one discount per global name).

2pm--Cathedral of Pain!
Led by Layla Rei, Stone Daemon, and Drake Crator
This will be a hero side event, so please ensure to bring your hero or vigilante to the fun. Also, while it would be great if you bring your incarnate, any joker that brings one with Rularuu pets is gonna get smacked.

4pm--All Controller Manticore TF
Level 30+, Controllers will get preferential invites, but if we cannot fill team we will accept dominators into the party.

6pm--All Kheldian ITF
Level 35+, We will accept VEATs if we cannot fill the team with HEATs.
Note: This used to be the Numina, but due to popular demand (and some people with evil khelds--you know who you are)--this is now a co-op tf. Numina is down below with a new theme.

7:30pm--All Tank Citadel TF
Level 25+, We will accept villain equivalent if we fail to fill with tanks.

8:00pm--Special edition of Strike Force Sunday!
Zaloopa will be running a Master of Barracuda strike force with a special costume contest (for only the participants) afterwards with a special villainous theme. There will only be one winner, and the prize will be 100 million inf. For more details, see Strike Force Sundays thread.


9:00pm--Fire and Ice Numina TF
Level 35+, Bring a fire, ice, or storm based character! We're about to get PRIMAL on Jurassik.

Monday!

12pm (Noon)--All Scrapper Sister Psyche TF
Level 20+, We will accept villain equivalent.

2pm--All Defender Synpase TF
Level 15+, Will accept villain equivalent.

4pm--All Blaster Positron TF
There is no blaster equivalent. Bring a blaster. If you don't have one, make one! The minimum level is 10, lazy!

7pm--Beach Soccer contest!
To wrap up this event, we will be holding a beach soccer game in croatoa. Our main goal is to have fun kicking around the poor monsters, and, if we get enough people, to punt around the Croatoa GMs. If they hated us when we beat them Friday night, they're gonna loathe us now! To that effect, please bring any knockback oriented character so that we can stack up enough magnitude to send them flying.

We will also be judging the person that has the best beach themed costume, so impress us! The winner will get a special prize!


I may have missed something, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them either here, or in a PM. Thanks! I look forward to seeing you there!

Also, I'd like to put out a special thanks to @Bellpei of the Teamsters, @Septipheran (AKA TwoHeadedBoy), and @AIB for very generous contributions!

Oh, one more thing. If anyone has ideas for an event/tf they would like us to run, or would like to donate money to the event, please feel free to contact me.

It looks like you've set up something good there. If time allows, I might stop by to watch the fun.

I would like to add that The Layla/Stone contest have another purpose besides fun and giving out prizes. I am looking for a new costume for my layla rei main toon. I will make the winner's costume my new costume of choice to wear! Also I'm looking for a new costume for stone because i'm making a doll for myself of Stone Daemon ... but.. i would like to see him in something different. I already did his roman outfit and i'm just not sure those others of his will convert to an adorable doll for myself. So i'm hoping you guys can come up with something else for him

I will be very sad if no one shows up >.> <.< Dont make me cry!
Also i'm looking for players that will help me spread the word of this event in game! *looks at sooner*

Pending being dragged off to yet another baseball game by my family, I'll be there with bells on.

I still have a friend who needs a Layladoll. >:3

Calendar is updated. ;-)

I'd like to reserve a spot for my Warshade on the MoITF & Apex runs if I can, and maybe the LGTF also... And a spot for my PB on the all Kheldian TF. This all sounds like a lot of fun.

Friday, 9pm- Badge Hunting


I have a minor clarification question about the "Badge Hunt." Are these going to be done in the order stated, starting at 9, or are all 3 kicking off at 9?

Thanks. That's how I thought it would be going.

I've got 4 friends that have returned to CoH after a long while away, and I'm trying to coordinate with them. So hey, if things line up, I could be bringing several folks to the party that Friday. I'll know more as we get closer.

Thank again.

I should be able to make an appearance Sunday and Monday evenings!

LOL you forgot AP hide and seek......

I've made a small change to one of the AT tf's due to problems with certain people being unable to make it due to alignment. The all kheld Numina TF is now an all Kheld ITF, and the Numina has been moved down to 9:00pm Sunday. The new theme for Numina is <snipped, see below>.

Sorry for anyone inconvienced by this change.

AIB posted a picture of our all Kheldian ITF on the Kheldian board by the way... In the "Kheldian Brag Book" thread.

I've changed the Numina TF's theme yet again folks. Sorry

This one sounds better--the previous one was pretty much a placeholder. We're looking for fire and ice now!

So, say you have a Fire/Storm controller (looks at layla)....or an cold/ice fender....or a fire tank....or any combination of powers that have fire, ice, and/or storm (because storm is cool too) somewhere in there that you happen to have...bring that!

And yes, that pun was deliberate.
