Dr.Warlocke is an awesome name and the event sounds intriguing. I'm probably going to be running an open RP event around that time. Here's hoping they don't clash 
EDIT: Problem fixed after a nice chat.
And by "nice" you mean "cautiously hostile until a degree of compromise was reached"? =P
Shush you. Details aren't needed :P. All people need to know is that we fixed the problem.
I'm the "OP" in the two other threads, and I approve of cooperation, shared credit, and shared community building -- a little coordination goes a long ways. Press onward!
To be fair "let's do an event about upcoming content prior to it being released" is something we've done on Virtue since Issue 1. Hardly a new idea.
My event was gonna be at 7pm CST outside KR police station. Sometimes people just happen upon a similar idea. It's not a big deal. Looks like I'll have to move it to Friday 3rd. Not sure what the turnout would be like on a Friday though. Guess I'll have to wait and see

There was a lengthier conversation behind closed doors you weren't around for, Xanatos. It's over and done with now and we're both content to let it be and pool resources for the greater good.

This sounds intriguing. And it's at a time I'm normally online. I'll try to make it a point to drop by.

AE Story Arc #536752: Torn Asunder
An army from far, far away has been driven from their homeland and landed on Earth. They desperately need a new home and they're liking the look of ours.
================================================== ===
Only a hour and a half (1 hour and 30 minutes :P) left until the RP Event begins!
The KR CC sounds like fun I shall be there

I thought the little romp through Astoria was fun. Thanks for hosting!
If you do something like this again, I'd suggest having the whispers go out through tells to individuals so that not everyone gets them. Might take more work, but it could add to the creepy/suspense feel that was happening (especially after people started vanishing.)
Wish I could've made it to the event. I was a little late, so I guess I missed the meet up at the hospital. When I did arrive, I couldn't find where everyone was at, thanks to the fog and me being in the mid-20s for level. Tried asking a few times over broadcast, but no one seemed inclined to help :\
I'm sorry, Xzero :/ I had logged to Shade pretty much by then.
I should of stayed on Warlocke to make sure late-comers could join.
S'all good. Just a heads up for future events, keep late comers in mind. I'd be down for more RP events in the future. S'always a good thing.
Yeah, I've got a few more in my head and I'll be taking what I learned from this event and apply it to the next ones I run.
As another note, we had some fantastic turn outs for the costume contests. Once I have all the winner's names from my chatlog, I'll post them here.
What I do remember was the Image to the Unseen winners.
Queen Comet: Star-Witch
Vambrace: Darenix
Dream Doctor: American Safeguard
Maiden Justice: La Baronesa
We had no Elementar or Wavelength, unfortunately.
We had 2 Dream Doctors, 3 Vambraces, and 2 Queen Comets. Was an interesting turn-out to say the least.
The second part of the event is a 2 billion influence give away in Kings Row! The give away is in the fashion of four costume contests, three of them being themed. Each contest will have ten minute breaks in-between so that people can get their themed costume or whip up one within ten minutes. During the ten minute breaks, there will quite possibly be trivia or door prizes, but no promises at this time.
EDIT: Because I am a magnet for trouble -- http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=282623 Please go here to see why I am hosting the first part.
So, without further ado? I present to you the event details.
WHO: Heroes / Vigilantes / Rogues (Like they'll care
WHAT: Aid to Dark Astoria!
WHEN: Feburary 4th -- This portion begins at 7PM CST / 8 PM EST
WHERE: Dark Astoria -- Meet right inside
Something stirs within Dark Astoria and its effects have begun to seep through to the world. Dark whispers across Paragon are driving numbers of people into hopelessness and also drawing some to Dark Astoria. Meanwhile, there have been some in the mystical community that have felt a great darkness rising in Astoria, one that could threaten the entire world. One mystic is Dr. Warlocke, current leader of Silver Aegis. Together with the Aegis, he has sent a call out to all those willing to join him in delving into the fog of Astoria to find more information about what slumbers there.
A small event just to give some lead into what comes.
WHO: Heroes / Vigilantes / Rogues
WHAT: Four Costume Contests!
WHEN: The first begins at 8:30PM CST / 9:30PM EST.
WHERE: King's Row -- Police Department area. Be on the look out for Silver Aegis members.
In King's Row, we will be holding four costume contests to give out 2 billion inf and possibly more over that in IOs (No promises, I'm afraid. My luck is **** on Random Recipe Rolls
* First Contest: Golden / Silver Age
Two themes that are related are in the same contest. I am looking for the kind of costume you'd see on heroes in the Marvel and DC 'verses. Now, if you copy Marvel/DC? I won't bother. I'm asking for originality here and its quite easy to get this theme done right. But as noted, I want to see YOUR Golden/Silver Age costumes.
* Second Contest: Giving Image to the Unseen
This is the first time I am willing to try such a thing within the game. In this game's history, there are plenty of names that were big during their time that don't have official costumes that could possibly have them and look pretty cool. So, I would like to see members of this community come out with their own designs for the following heroes / heroines!
1.) Maiden Justice
2.) Elementar
3.) Vambrace (The suit of armor, rather.)
4.) Queen Comet
5.) Wavelength
6.) Dream Doctor -- For those who have done I22 Beta, I know he has a look on there, but this is live not Beta
Get as original with the pieces you have access to as possible, is all I can end with.
* Third Contest: Mystical / Supernatural
Wizards, warlocks, demons, and more! If it fits within the right of mystical or supernatural? This is the contest for you! If you are unsure if it will fit to this theme, do know that I will do my best to help figure it out
* Fourth Contest: Overall
The general no themed costume contest. Bring your best costume that is original! Simple as that, yes?
