Fright Fest!

Guess what guys?! It's that spooky time of year and you're all invited to join us! =D



I'll have two costume contests, Halloween themed and Mockery.

Halloween Themed: Come dress up as a ghastly ghost, even a creepy chesire cat or anything in between!

Mockery Contest: Dress up as your favorite hero or villain with your very own twist!
(Example: Ghost Ferret)


We have a secret mystery that only you can solve party goers! We'll need your help.

With gladiator matches and trivia as well there will be tons of fun to be had!

This year two grand prizes will be awarded a Corsair Hydro Series H60 (a $79.99 US value each).

I could not do this however without the help of The Cape's own Attercap as my DJ and my pals The Challengers!

I hope to see you all there for a spooktacular night! <3


Times, Rules and winnings!

8:30 - Halloween Themed Costume Contest
9:15 - Start mystery event (this can possibly last through out the night)
10:00 - Trivia
10:30 - Mockery Costume Contest
11:30 - Gladiator matches (if this somehow goes over the midnight line we'll still be around and it is alright)

Costume Contests Rules:
Line up, get looked at and please be patient while we judge.

Mystery Event Rules:
At 9:15 we will set up the beginning of the event which will take you to the IP AE system when announced where Red-Havok will RPly explain the situation. You may play this solo or in teams. If you are teaming we ask that you share your clues with your respective playmates as the clues and what npcs say can help you solve what's going on. For those that are soloing fear not as I solo'ed this myself as a lvl 50 force field/archery defender at (-1 x 1) in about 25 minutes. More details to come at the party.

Trivia Rules:
I will ask a question in request and people must put their answers in broadcast. The first correct answer wins. I have thirty minutes and have twenty questions so the faster people answer and obey the rules the more I can get out and the more you can win! =)

Gladiator Rules:
All players are allowed exactly one (1!) Nebula Elite Buckshot Gladiator OR one (1!) Wolf Spider Enforcer Gladiator for this match. The reasons for these nigh-draconian rules are threefold:

1. The Nebula Elite Buckshot and Wolf Spider Enforcer Gladiators are automatically earned at level 10 by heroes and villains respectively, making them the easiest-to-obtain (and most hilariously wimpy) Gladiators in the game.

2. Allowing only the two specific, evenly matched Gladiator types is the only way to guarantee an even playing field in the - let's face it - unbalanced Gladiator system.

3. Each player may only use one Gladiator in this event because otherwise the whole thing could simply turn into a Lagtastrophe of epic proportions, and it's never fun to watch a slideshow instead of playing a game!

If you are caught breaking these rules - either by using more than one of the specified Gladiators, or by using ANY other type of Gladiator - the entire match will be restarted and you will be disqualified from participating completely.

Players will be given time to set up their Gladiator Team before the event begins; but if you wish to do so in advance, it is quite simple. Go to Menu -> Arena. In the bottom-left of the Arena screen, click "My Gladiators" to open up the "Build Your Gladiator Team" screen. You will see a list of all your earned Gladiators with little bubbles next to their names. Make sure that NONE of these are filled except for one, next to your Nebula Elite Buckshot or Wolf Spider Enforcer. You should only be using 150 points of your 2,000-point build total. Click "Apply" then click "OK" and you are ready to rumble!

Costume Contest Winnings: (Yes this is the same for both)
First Place: 1 billion influence
Second Place: 750 million influence
Third Place: 500 million influence
Fourth Place: 250 million influence

Trivia winnings:
50 million for each right question answered.

Mystery Event and Gladiator matches
As there can only be one winner for each this is one that wins you a Corsair H60 Liquid CPU Cooler. (Red-Havok and I both use and love this product). Once each winner is announced I will have them send me their information via email so I can have this mailed out.

If there are any questions and/or concerns feel free to send me a message. Otherwise See ya all in a few days! <3

Amazing Prizes! This is awesome!

WOW way cool I'll be there!

This looks pretty awesome! I'll have to try and get off work for this night.

Thanks by the way for running something like this. It's not often I get excited by player run events.

Those are very awesome prizes, Ferret! It falls on my pen and paper gaming night otherwise I'd be there. Best of luck with it!

I would say I'd be there with bells on, but chains seem more appropriate. Hmm....chains.

We'll see....

I will be there if I can manage to avoid being grounded between now and then.

Can't be there, but best of luck!

Hopefully I'll have that day off, that'd be fun.

Expect me.

Sounds like it's gonna be fun!

My 'Mockery' entry is already dressed up and hiding behind a bookcase in the university, just waiting to jump out and start scaring people

Countin' da days!

Thanks everyone! I've updated the first post with the times, rules and winnings!

See ya Friday!

damn that's a lotta influence being given out.

And winning an H60 for free? Gotta say that is pretty badass. Hope to see a lot of people there. Best of luck to everyone!

Good luck Friday, Foxy! I'm sure you'll throw a great party!

I've sent my mains to Japan for a while, I don't know if they'll come back. I might bring an alt to the party. I'd hate to miss out on all the fun just because I'm going psycho.

Tonight!
So excited! Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

gettin' excited!

Tonight! Get on it! Jyeah!

/psyched

See ya guys in a couple hours! =D

Totally showing up!

What a totally kick *** party. Entirely full zone, and judging by the cape website attendence peaked at 80 or so people.

Great time!

That was excellent! Thanks for setting this all up Foxy and friends!

Was such a great event! Much thanks to Foxy and everyone who helped her put the event together.

Let me start by thanking everyone who stopped by. My party couldn't have been a huge success without all of you. I was really stunned when I heard there was a Croatoa 2 and that people were lined up to try and get into Croatoa Zone 1.

I had a wonderful time as your host and I would love to thank everyone who helped me out!
Thank you to The cape's Attercap for being a wonderful DJ.
Thank you to Johnny Turbo for making the mystery arc. Those of you interested in trying it out or running it again you may find it under arc #526243 - Fright Fest - Who Done It? We will be leaving that up for a few days.
Thank you to Replacer/Rave Spider for spotting the dangers to come to the party even if he was a little under the weather!
Thank you to Human Flashbulb for hosting the Gladiator matches.
Thank you to Red-Havok for supplying the Corsair H60s.

I hope you enjoyed yourself as much as I did! Let's show our winners and a few of our great memories!

Mockery Costume Contest:


Mystery Event winner was Void Viper and our Gladiator winner was Global Man. Both won the Corsair H60s.

We started the night a bit early with the early birds that showed up!


No matter how early or not our Challenger boys sure like to rock out!


There were awesome costumes by so many people!







Red-Havok Proposes to Foxy Ferret and one of our party goers can't believe it!


The happy couple dance together as a possible enemy plots next to them....
