Yes. Please assume that any PVP event which is not specified as a zone event (Blood Bay, Sirens Call, Warburg, Recluse's Victory) will be held in Pocket D at the monkey club. The events are held here so that both heroes and villains can attend.

Thanks Toril! I look forward to reading it.

I have several entries emailed to me, but we need more! Remember, we are going for a guest artist's sketch of one of your characters and a custom forum title! 2nd and 3rd place will get cute little Chibi drawings!

No two scrappers on the same team. Fortunatas/Widows do NOT count as separate ATs and Crabs/Wolfs/Banes do NOT count as separate ATs.

The story can be written in any form you like- narrative, journal entry, prose, etc. Just remember, good grammar and spelling will count.

You must stay on the same character for the entire event, thus, you will be autoexemped for each match. Only level 47s to 50s will be able to enter, since the last match will be at Super Heavy Weight.

Only a few days left!! I have received a few entries via email, but need more. Don't miss out!

I noticed it was your birthday: Happy Birthday!!!!!

This is going to be a really fun event. I hope you will all come out for this. It promises to be a bunch of hard battles! Please PM me or post with questions/comments.

Through the Ages on May 31st.

Thanks Chaos, that was very well answered. Usually for arena nights, the fights are super heavy weight (level 47-50). We have everyone on one map and make teams accordingly. Sometimes we vary it up a bit. This month will be hosting "Through the Ages" which will have contestants fighting at various levels.

If people are interested in a lower level event, I will try to host one next month.

We host a variety of different events. Currently I am hosting "Tell Me a Story" which is a forum based events and Scooter is hosting Strike Force Sundays (scroll down in this forum for both threads). In the past few months, we have done Mayhem Madness, Mega-ITF, Follow the White Rapid, The Great Cap Race, and others. We usually try to do bigger events that multiple teams can participate in as well as forum based events. If there is something you are especially interested in, please do not hestitate to post here.

Some questions people asked me:

Q. I do not live in the US, can I still enter?
A. Absolutely! All prizes will be handled via email, so you may enter no matter what country you call home.

Q. If I write a story about one character and I win, does my artwork prize have to be of that character?
A. No. You may choose any character you like to be depicted for your prize.

Q. If I win 1st prize, can I give my friend my forum title?
A. No, only the account that enters will be granted the title.

Q. The story I would like to write is more than 1500 words, what should I do?
A. Only stories that grossly exceed the cap (over 500 overs the limit) will be heavily penalized. The words "a", "and", "the", and "an" will not count towards your total. The word limit should be used more as a guideline than a penalty structure.

Q. The story I wrote is "R" rated, what should I do?
A. I invite you to post your teen rated stories on the forum, R rated stories should be submitted via email to madame.pistacio@gmail.com.

Thanks all! Hope to see some entries soon!

It was a pleasure knowing you and meeting you irl when I went to Seattle. You are a sweetie and I pray you will stay in touch with me. *hugs tight*

I think it is wrong to take away things people have already earned. I would very much prefer them to just lower the numbers to something a lot more manageable. I myself do not badge, but I helped friends get at least 30 of all the badges that are being removed. It makes me feel like I wasted a lot of time. I think that in the future, they should fix how badges work, but retroactively removing things.... just seems so cold.

This contest is still open!! If you have any questions at all, just let me know.

Thanks for coming guys! There were a lot of people there last night!

I'm going to jump in here. I was not at the meeting, I was working, but seriously, why so much negativity? I think if people want to step up and promote events, thats great! I do not believe this group wants to replace PERC, PvPEC, or any of the larger super groups. I think people are just trying to make a larger group that is not exclusive. I am not saying there is anything wrong with being elite or only inviting players you know to events... that's common (especially on Victory). But I think that people who want a broader event spectrum to make things open to anyone should be encouraged, not discouraged. If you have too many channels, don't join another one, that's cool. Maybe this is just a chance for some more people to become leaders on Victory and for more people who are not in cliques (not using this as a bad term btw) to participate. I'm not going to get PERC involved with this as we have lots of our own stuff to do and I don't really think VU needs the help, but I do not feel like this group is trying to step on toes or anything, just promote more stuff on Victory. So.... have at, have fun. Running large scale events is not easy and I wish you the best of luck.

I am horrible and after asking the man like 87 times when his birthday was, I still got my dates confused. So, a VERY VERY Happy belated Birthday Chumly!

I thought you ate my delicious tears? Well ate them and sold them on the market. BTW... collected lots of them for you today.

I thought fluffy bunnies was just a term for PVE-ers in general, especially badgers?

RPers actually do a lot more pvp than most in my experience.

Does that make me a dirty rping, face eating fluffy bunny?

And if so.. can I be the bunny in Monty Python?

I love to RP, but I have no idea what the game is about. I just wanted to post because... yes there are rpers on Victory

Worse things have happened to me

Oh noes the KB!!!
