My goal is to hit 45 with Death of the Party.

I began yesterday at 38. He is currently 44.

I'd like to get my Elec/Shield Scrapper from 38 to 45ish. Since last night, I am at 41> Perhaps get my SS/Elec Brute from 26 to 30 and/or my Fire/Dark Corruptor to 20 from 13.

It can be a wide range. I've been on raids that took less than 20 minutes, and I've been on raids that took a little more than an hour.

In my experience, the lion's share would be about 40ish minutes.

I try to be as charitable as I can, and often ask the recipient "pay it forward".

The night I first started playing, a player spent quite a bit of time trying to help me learn the ropes. She gifted me 50,000 inf (which I thought was an extraordinarily huge sum!) to help me with enhancements.

I had been terrified of playing an online game, thinking that it would be open-world PVP, and thinking that everyone would immediately ignore the new player, and point out how terrible I was. Having someone do something generous shocked me, and made me immediately appreciate the community, and made me want to do the same for others.

I recall once, a costume contest on Champion. The organizer had recently won a contest a few weeks prior, and was using half of his newfound wealth toward a contest. He accidentally traded 50mil (which was intended to be the entire prize lot for 1st through 3rd) to the 3rd place person, instead of 5mil. Immediately, the organizer said "oh, I sent you everything by mistake. Can you send it back?" To which the person said "lol your loss" and logged.

I saw the apologies from the organizer in Local, and the prizewinners were understanding... so I gave 100 of my 120 million inf to them.


I haven't been able to be as charitable lately. A Forumgoer a little while ago accidentally lost a rather large sum to an email blip. Replacing the funds for him (her?) took out a large chunk of my onhand influence

I got it yesterday on my Praetorian scrapper

I accidentally bought two stacks of Magical Conspiracies at 20mil instead of 2m a couple weeks ago :(

"Butter makes us better"

Funny. I've been playing for three years now, and while it seems slightly lower than it was when I began, the population on Champion now seems far higher than it was just a year ago.

Did you edit a tab on each character to see the channels?

First character, first 50, favourite character: Banana McJammyPants WP/WM Tank.

With Banana McJammyPants:

I was invited to a small SG the night I started. Someone had been showing me the ropes of the game, and invited me to her SG. It was called "Generic" something or other. It turned out to be porn-themed, (hence the genericing) and I left it before my play session was over.

The next day, I was invited to a very large SG. I don't even remember which. The leader gave me a rundown of the rules, which included a 7-day inactivity removal, removal for not earning prestige, requirement of wearing the SG's colours at all times, and being asked that until I earned X-Amount of Prestige, and was promoted to such-and-such a rank, that all my drops be placed into the bins, including crafted IO's. When I asked, "how will I craft them, if I'm dropping all my salvage in the bins?" and "how will you know if I'm dropping ALL of my things, and not keeping them?" I was told, "I trust you will do the right thing". So I quit before finishing my tour of the base.

A couple of weeks later, I was then invited to a mid-sized SG, called "Dark" something. (Evidently, forgetting SG names is a recurring theme). A few of the members showed up every few days. I teamed with one of the leaders semi frequently, but eventually, through inactivity, I ended up the leader. I kept it up for a few months, thinking I would just make this my own, but eventually grew tired of the name. I left everything I put in the bins, and quit.

There were a few other SGs that amounted to only a few days of my life in total. A few had required "meeting nights", which I couldn't commit to, since it's a game, and I can't rearrange my personal or work schedule to revolve around.

I remained SG-less on Banana for another few months, and decided to start my own SG (The Great White North). It's just my characters and my wife's in there. At times, I think it would be nice to be a part of a larger SG, but then I remember the ones had rules and requirements of me, and I'm much happier playing casually.




Like a lot of you, I also had a brief foray with Stryke-Force. I was told there was a 5?-day inactivity kick. Before joining, I told Stryker that it was an alt that I was unsure about keeping, and was unsure how often I'd be on with. He said that for the first few weeks, he would make sure I wasn't kicked out until I figured things out. I thought "that's nice of him". So I joined. I played for a few hours (in SG mode, of course), then logged. Two days later, I decided to play him again, at which time I saw I had been kicked from SF. I sent LS a tell asking why I had been kicked, since it had just been two days. His response was something along the lines of, "I decide who stays".

A few hours later on the same character, I got a tell from Stryker asking if I wanted to join Stryke-Force. I said "Really? Seriously? You JUST kicked me from your SG." He apologized, and said that I wouldn't receive another request to join.

I switched characters, and immediately got a tell to join SF on my namesake. I replied with "I am the same person as (character name). I would rather not join your SG on any character of mine." He again apologized and said he would ensure no one under my global would receive another invite to join SF. To his credit, I never received another tell or invite to join.

Happy new year, folks!

The closest I can think of would be Warrior 1 from the Martial Arts booster:

Amazing! Good job, folks

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you here on Champion. It's you that make this game great for me. So thank you all.

I'm having a ton of logouts over the last week, but I have not had any slow load issues.

Good luck, brother. I wish you all the best.

Thanks for everything you've done.
