O Hai, players!

Yes, yes you can has! O RLY? YA RLY! So dust off your Fig Leaves and YATTA! your way out and Get Down to Pocket D on the Virtue Server! If not, you may end up Forever Alone. You can find us doing a barrel roll on the floor across from all your base portals.

If you haven't guessed, this month's costume contest theme is MEMES!

If you don't know what a meme is or if you're looking for inspiration, help yourself! (WARNING: Portions of this site MAY NOT be appropriate for work)

So, break out your three wolf moon shirts, your lolcat gear, your goggles (which may or may not do nothing) and your shoes (OMG shoes!).

However, the details of this are serious business, so you will need to know the steps to follow.

1. Design a costume representing a meme.
2. Be in Pocket D on the Virtue server on June 28, 2012
3. ???
4. PROFIT!!*

You will be judged by Ryan "Viridian" Greene and Jeff "One does not simply Arbiter Hawk into Grandville" Hamilton and we'll be streaming the contest LIVE! on Twitch.TV!

The contest will be held Thursday, June 28, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. PDT (2:00 p.m. EDT; 7:00 p.m. BST) and 6:00 p.m. PDT (9:00 p.m. EDT; 2:00 a.m. BST on Friday, June 29). Be there or Zwillinger will be stealingz your bukkit!

I bet I'm not the only one getting this right now.

I wonder of the people behind it have any idea what's up, hehe.

I might show up to see what people show up as, especially since it's on Virtue. Does anyone know if Golden Girl's coming yet?


Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.

I had no trouble getting to the site earlier and I'm still getting there now.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Virtue? Pass.

Thanks anyways.

A new costume contest is great and all, but I'm still waiting on my winnings from the last one...

I've forwarded the PM's I've received over to Hit Streak. He's going to verify the emails and most likely will just PM them to you here on the boards as soon as he gets a spare moment.

Perfect. Many thanks.

I'm already ready already!

Getting positive feedback on it in Pocket D, too.

And now we play the waiting game....


FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

Maybe you have superior timing.

I got to it a few minutes later, but didn't want to double pose.. or edit, apparently.

EDIT: And hopefully I'll get the costume code from the story teller contest featured in my forum title, too. I am on the list, right?

This might be a bit tricky to pull off. I mean lolcats might seem obvious, but it's heavily text based.
About the only one I can imagine that wouldn't require some real work is Epic Fail Guy, and even then.

Wow, you might have found a way to clear out Virtue's Pocket D (a wretched hive of scum and villainy ). But is it 20% cooler?

If I show up next month with slow poke do I auto win?

I... actually have an idea for this one. That's never happened before.

Edit: And then I realized, it's borderline NSFW. Never mind.

Pretty much nailed it there.

I happened to read of this particularly weird meme (and that's saying something) for the first time not a week ago in Brian Cronin's Why Does Batman Carry Shark Repellant? I knew that someday my voracious reading would be useful in real life!

***

Perhapse Lord Recluse could steal the cakes. He probably wouldn't need a dolley to transport them, with all those extra arms.
