Real World Hero Is Coming Soon!

...which means, PLAYER EVENTS!

Actually, no it doesn't. It means I'll be working to raise awareness of Real World Hero (http://realworldhero.com) in-game throughout the month of November. Why November? Well, the Real World Hero drive normally kicks off around December, but there are a LOT of Player Events going on in December. It's a busy month! Besides that, I know cash is tight for a LOT of people this year, so starting in November gives you a little more time to set some funds aside to help out people who need it.

Real World Hero is a charity drive started in 2009 by Mr. Wentworth and the lovely Sultry Siren, who believed that the City of Heroes community was SO AWESOME that they could raise money for three different charities: Child's Play, Operation: Gratitude, and DonateGames.org. They thought $1,000 would be great, but the CoH community blew them out of the water and raised $10,000 instead! Last year, they added Heifer International to their list of charities and raised $12,000! This year, let's see if we can do even better!

With the goal in mind of helping Real World Hero raise AT LEAST $15,000 this year, AND getting Protector off the bottom rung of the graph showing which server donated the most (seriously guys, we only beat PINNACLE!), I plan on running a series of events throughout November. What kinds of events, you might be asking yourself?

Weeeeeeeeell...

-I'll be bringing back Task Force Tuesdays for the month of November only, and each week's TF will be themed! If you'd like to suggest a TF and a theme, please PM me-I'd be glad to have a little help! No, suggesting a theme does not mean you have to run the TF.

-I'll be running costume contests every Friday night under the statue of Atlas. Prizes are yet to be determined, and I hear there might be a mystery judge or two helping me with this...

-I'd like to run a Hamidon Raid every Saturday in November. I'd LIKE to. This one I'm going to need help with-if you're willing to boss a Hami Raid, either blueside or redside, let me know.

If you already run an event weekly or monthly, consider using it as a platform to help spread the world about Real World Hero. I'm looking at you, Strike Force Sunday, Kheldian Friday, RtR, and Kult's Last Chance! I tried not to step on anyone else's toes with my event schedule, but if I am, let me know. The Friday CCs will take place before Kheldian Fridays kickoff if I can manage it (and I probably can).

If you'd like to donate prizes for any of the events, I'm mostly looking to give out one overall prize for the themed TFs (best costume) and three prizes for each CC (first, second, and third place). I'm also looking for people who are willing to help run events, judge them, and just show up for them, as well as people who are willing to spread the word on their leagues, teams, task forces, and supergroups.

So, this holiday season, how will YOU become a Real World Hero?

I like player events.

But I love player events that are done for a good cause.

If you'd like to get editing rights on the calendar, to facilitate your event planning (even if temporarily) let me know!

Okay folks, here's the current schedule of events for me...I still haven't come up with a catchy name for this...and I was -going- to do Master iTrial Runs, but Septipheran beat me to it. :P

On Tuesdays at 4 pm PST/7 pm EST, I will be running TASK FORCE TUESDAYS, with TFs and themes to be determined.

On Fridays at 6 pm PST/9 pm EST, I will be hosting Costume Contests under Atlas, with my special guest judges. Theoretically, prizes will be one hundred million influence, seventy five million influence, and fifty million influence, but they could go higher and I might also hand out special "honorable mention" prizes.

On Saturdays at 3 pm PST/6 pm EST, I will be holding Hamidon Raids on Heroside!

On Black Friday, that's Friday, November 25th, at noon, I will be holding a Shadow Shard Task Force Marathon. We're going to run ALL FOUR Shadow Shard TFs in a row. More rules for this will be posted later when I post the signup sheet!

More events may be added as I think of them or as people volunteer to run them!

It begins on Tuesday, November 1st at 4 pm PST/7pm EST with our first themed Task Force Tuesday...

Bring your kings, your queens, your jokers, and your knights! Dress up in your finest medieval garb and join me for a SYNAPSE TF, suggested by MI Abrahms, who says we ought to pit one kingdom against another! Sign up by posting in this thread right here!

1.) @MissKyo - Risus Occultus, Archery/Dark Corruptor, Court Magician

I survived Stalemate's Shadow Shard TF marathon a few years ago (and there are a couple people I have to be friends with for the rest of my life because of it; they know too much now). They can make it too!

And I did it on an emp/rad defender. I spent SO MUCH TIME dead...

Ah, so now we know why you're so crazy! Well, it sounds like the certain brand of crazy my scrapper loves, I may have to take you up on this challenge.

What a sneaky way to catch some sleep!

It was quite a blast, and there were even some folks who simply stood by the sidelines with me the entire time just to cheer the team onward and keep the chatter going.

I think I'm going to ask that the Shadow Shard TF marathon folks who sign up have Skype so we can natter at each other while we play...I already know my SG will probably be keeping me company on it, as much as they're able. But anyway!

Four spots left for the themed Synpase.

You know there's a perfectly good Ventrilo server open to all Protectorites, right?

I do know that, because you keep pointing it out to me, but I can't use Ventrilo. It noms my bandwidth. Anyway, I hate its UI with a fiery burning passion of hatred, and have ever since I was required to use it for PvPEC.

There will be NO EVENTS hosted by me from Friday, Dec. 9th to Sunday, Dec. 11th while I participate in the Level-a-Thon event. However! There will be task forces announced at random in Protector Vigilance as I work my way towards level 50 to raise money for RWH! You can find out more about the Level-a-Thon at www.realworldhero.com!
