Quote:I think PUGS are entertaining.. ive met lots of super cool people from them and its how i was intorduced to BMT and to these forums. Its also how i became interested in running events as well. Ya' Ive had a few sucky pugs.. but it was before BMT. IMO the majority of people on BMT play with a certain respect on teams.. you dont get a lot of idiots from PUGs put together from BMT.. However, I dont consider the people i have teamed with from BMT to really be PUG people.Unfortunately, there are way to few other people willing to do so, this shows how pathetic all the other sg's and people are. No one takes time to help each other. This event shows how bad PuG's really are.
I too, questioned AOW's participation in this event, i even said it vocally in broadcast. I had dave on my team and can vouch that it was ran cleanly and above board. I wouldnt have remained on the team had that not been the case.. i will admit though, it did make me uneasy... simply from the other teams view point.
As slacker pointed out, this event was intitally geared ONLY to sg's.. It was also scheduled for a saturday evening at 4pm pst / 7pm est.. making sure you have 8 people on in your sg, at that given time, is difficult at best.. thats PRIME TIME, on a saturday night, during the summer..I can certainly see why this would be hard to achieve.
As he also has pointed out: "My RL Friend SG has 4 ppl in 3 that have 50s and only that was on during the event - Sorry last I heard it was SG only not PuG so why show up to it when I could do something else with others on the server."
This is what our sg's issue is. We're small. As are A LOT of other really good sg's. The way this event was originally slated, it was ONLY geard to the LARGE sg's.
The Champion Community doesnt just consist of large sg's. And lets face it, just because you are in a SG doesnt mean you like some of the people in your sg let alone want to spend time on a team with them.
Now Felecia, this isnt me taking your remarks about how pathetic all other sg's are (your words) personally.. but again, as was the blanket remark about BMT wrong.. i think this is a pretty bold, incorrect, blanket statement.
Its my hope that this thread dies soon. I dont think this animosity towards other sg's is going to solve anything and in the end its only going to alienate even more people. -
Task Force Tuesday : The Abandon Sewer Network (yes, I know this is a trial.. still starts with a “T”)
Meet at the sewer entrance in Atlas Park at 6:30 pm PST / 9:30 pm EST.
Lvl 38-40 for XP, 28 juicy merits, AND to the team with the fastest time.. 10 million each in influence.
Min team size is 4 so we should be ok having balanced teams
We will dish out teams when everyone is there, and no, its not going to be picked playground style.. albeit a novel idea, it took too long and some people felt being chosen late was a knock on their abilities.
See you Guy’s & Gal’s this Tuesday, Sept 1st.

Well..to be honest, this is the 1st event in the year that ive been here that at 1st, wasnt able to join due to the size of my sg... and my initial reaction here was directly after a rather antagonistic coversation with 1 of their members.. and as it turns out i dont think any team consisted only of a specific sg.. Im not 100% certain.
I dont take offense to your post personally.... im well aware of the complaints of others.. i get them too regarding mine.. I try to accomodate as many as i can.
There are a ton of great players from smaller sg's. I just felt that a majority of people would ultimately be left out because of the setting's. And, as you saw, you needed 8 people. I dont think smaller teams would have gotten through it perhaps as quicky. I spoke with Stray, it took them aaaaa lllooooottttt longer with only 4 people.
If the settings had remained as previously set, how many teams would there have been VS how many she had?
I think she made the right choice to make it more open. A lot of us were able to participate, I had a kick a$$ team and it was enjoyable... and, she had more people show up.. thats a win win.
If you stop to think about it, the point she wanted to make was to have people working together, as a team.. what better way than to PUG it.. now thats not easy.. getting 8 people that dont team together to do well and actually pull off a decent time... that was great leading and team work.
Sometimes suggestions (ok or gentle bit**ing) work to benefit us all.. I know they have me and im sure they will for future events.
I do admit perhaps I could have chose a less bi*chy way to come across.. for that, i apologize. -
Quote:To answer Fiery's question: I was concerned because Masterminds have more pets, Stalkers have hide and alphastrikes that are devastating, and Brutes seem tougher than tanks. I noticed this in PvP Zones.
Fiery and Kitten make a good argument. In the end it is a matter of how well the charcater is put together and how well the player knows how to use that hero/villian.
NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS!:
The event is tonight and i have heard all the great sg's are forming teams and i do hope they all show up. United Heroes Brigade, Protectors of Neverland, Templars of Steel, DarkGuard, Hammers of Justice, Order of the Champions, Guardian Wolf Pack, a VG which hasn't named itself yet, and 2 teams from ALL-OUT-WAR.
With so many teams showing up if the zone is full we will have half the teams set up in Peregrine Island AE Building and the other half in the RWZ Building.
EXTREMELY GOOD NEWS!: With so many teams i have asked about increasing the amount and it has been decided:
Grand Prize: 80 MILLION
2nd Place: 40 MILLION
3rd Place: 20 MILLION
4th Place: 10 MILLION
5th-10th Place: 5 MILLION each
Event will be 1 Map, Custom Critters, 16 AV's. This should make the event between 1-2 hours long.
Well, looks like small sg's get the sh*t end of this event..
blah.
No, this isnt a reason for me to open up my sg to any tom,dick, or harry and no its not right of me to ask people from other smaller sg's to jump ship to join us for this event (both of those were posed to me as questions). Fang, In particular, has a lot invested in HIS sg and for him to drop and join us would mean him losing all the prestige he's earned over the 4 or so years hes been playing. To some, it's not "just a #".. I know its not to any of us. So for that reason, he's excluded.. Spartas Finest, another example of a sg that cant participate.. and they have some kicka** players.
I withdrew from my own event this past Tuesday, just to not EXCLUDE anyone from participating. (Netminder withdrew as well, we were over by 2 people)
ok.. off my soap box.
gl with the event. -

Nice job... I'll have next weeks challenge up next couple days.
Im going to rethink the playground style picking... I like the premise but the execution was too slow.. And i'll make certain not to have a team requirement thats too high.. 2 of us had to bow out.. thanks Net =)
Same payouts though, 10 mil per person to the winners.
I saw some pretty sweet rolls too, grats.
~Cherry -
Quote:Its not a series, you can compete 1 night, 2 nights, all nights.. the payouts are weekly.. not at series end.If this is running 5 weeks i will have to skip this, sorry but i work tuesdays 3-11 pm and i only have this and next tuesday off
If this was a one night event i could go to it this and next tuesday but a series, no

for team id say grav/storm ='s knockbackaliciousness ='s lots of pissed off team mates.

e ya
after i clicked "submit post" it dawned on me that a lot of the people that join tft are on bmt and join on a whim.. keeping it the other way would have meant a lot of explaining and a lot of people going eh, f**k it, i'll do it later.. and that kinda goes against the point of all this..
Thanks, Fang, for clearning it up and re-working it.
Net, you gotta lead team awesome... I mean lets face it, this is all about us wanting to take you down anyway.
See you kids tomorrow.

Quote:Ya, im actually thinking of that now.. and yes, infamy is an issue.. im not a hard core red side player, so.. ya know, mama's wicked poor that side.hum.. true didn't think about that. Oh well good luck to everyone who will be there
( you should try to do the same thing red side on a different day or even at the same time)
If you'd like to donate for something i'll make sure everyone knows (when its ran) that the $ came from you. -
Quote:why Hero only? I'm sure you could have enough interest to get a Vil ITF/LGTF team.
Simply give the 50mil influence if the hero team win... or 50mil Infamy if it's a Vil team..
Now if Infamy is the issue, send me a tell, i'll give it to you (before sunday night since thats my last day)
teams are going to picked playground style and having a mixed team will make the team entry fee's and winning payouts an issue. -
That’s right.. Its back… You know you love it..
Task Force Tuesdays!
Ok.. Now for some details.
The format will be a lil different for this session of TFT’s. We will be picking teams playground style. In addition to this change we’ve decided to have an entry fee..ahh, an entry fee you say? Yes! Yes I say! Here’s why…
We’ve decided to sweeten it up a bit and really make this competitive… Each team member will pay a 5 mil entry fee to their team leader.. The team with the best times, wins-it-all.. IN ADDITION to winning the entry fee’s from the other teams you’ll also win 50 million inf donated to the pot from myself and Fanged Knight. EACH WEEK.
Now for the finer print.- Team leads will be determined early on.. last session of Task Force Tuesdays we had pretty much the same team leads.. hopefully these same people will step up and continue to lead.. if not, psh on them. I’m sure they will though. (right right?) If anyone wants to step up to be a team lead, send me a tell @cherry-2000 and I’ll add you in. You’ll be picking your own team, from those that have come , collecting /paying out the entry fee’s /winnings. I’m going to bump the time up to 6:30pst/9:30 est., to allow time for teams to be chosen. Please, if you are going to join, zone in as early to the time as possible so we don’t have to delay or waste any more time than usual.
- If you’re playing on a toon that doesn’t have the entry fee, that’s ok.. I’m sure you have a higher lvl toon with the $ and can log it on after the tf.. and if you try to skip out on paying it.. I know people in low places that like to break knee caps.
- Team leaders will pick play ground style… meaning.. You pick, I pick, you pick, I pick.. etc etc down the line.. We will determine who goes 1st using either the “roll dice” emote or the “rock paper scissor” emote.
- Come on the toon YOU want to play. The toon you come with is the toon you’re stuck with. Once you’re on a team, you CANT change to a different toon to better suit the team makeup.. That’s up to the team leader to pick a good solid team.
- You’ll have to take a screen shot, of the time completed box, with the team lined up in the shot.. just for verification purposes.
The finale to this session of Task Force Tuesdays will be the MoSTF. The team that completes this the fastest AND gets the badge will win an additional 200mil inf . Clearly this is a MoSTF.. no badge, no prize.. time doesn’t matter at that point. If no team completes the MoSTF challenge, then the best time will still win the entry fee $ just not the 200mil inf prize.
1st up on the list of Task Forces:
August 25th : A speed ITF AND a speed Lady Grey (hero's only). Times will be combined to determine the winner.
Good Luck, Loves. See you Tuesday -
Dear Coh
Im really starting to think you just want to give us ladies a complex and its time it stops.
Why does it have to look like we're tuckin... well, you know... when we rez? I find it offensive.. not that tuckin back is bad.. its just not my thing.
Losing my patience...

Quote:2nd for more shoes.
I said you have a big butt?
No. I'm sure you have a wonderful, shapely, buns-of-steel butt. I was saying you should tell the OTHER GUY to leave you alone and go elsewhere. I think he was just envious of your "bounce a quarter off your [heinie] [hienie] [hynie] oh ... butt" fabulousness.

Dear CoH
Sigh, I hate to be such a bother and all.. but again at the tailor i was confronted with a shoe issue. I, like most girls, LOVE shoes.. and well.. quite honestly, my selection sucks. The high heels make me look like i have cankels, the wedding shoes are the same... and wtf, why are those even in my closet?!? I was wondering if the shoe fairy would raid the carnival peoples closets and drop off some of their shoe options. The yellow chunky heel thigh boots ARE TO DIE FOR.. and i mean that literally, ive tried to go in and take them, and i die.. a lot. I appreciate you letting me have them during halloween but the problem is the hat you make me wear with them... im not a fan of hat head. Oh I was also wondering about getting a stripper pole in the base.. you know, for exercise.. It may help me with my next dilemma..
Yesterday, all the cool kids noticed this PeterBilt person telling me i have a big butt and I dont know what to do. Is this the same like in 3rd grade when a person picks on you, they have a crush on you and dont know how to tell you?
Or do i really have a big butt? *grabs magic 8 ball*
*ask again later*
sigh. -
