A base doesn't change alignment, only you make the change. Even though you get the "beacon unlocked" message, you cannot currently place beacons in a base of the opposite faction.

I guess we must have over compensated for debuff and ended up with a minor lack of damage?

Also, the fact that the second attempt began with teams 1 and 3 on one instance while team 2 spawned on a completely separate instance says a lot in regards to our luck.

Never-the-less, this was my first CoP attempt. Was a great learning experience. Thanks for putting this together, Ryu.

Character: Justice Forge
Artist: Stan Bush

I just sent you a few tells in game, Ryu, but I'm guessing you were afk. Anyways, I didn't manage to bring Patriot back to blue side yet. If it's acceptable, below is a list of all my IO'd out 50s, let me know what you'd like me to bring for tonights CoP.

I'm curious to learn how the Level Shifts work..

I have so many characters I need to respec, but have been putting it off waiting for i19 to drop so that I could benefit from the Inherent Fitness. I am so glad this is close!

Just the Runes aura, but it speaks loud enough I think.

It's a shame I missed this. I got the dates confused.. I remember glancing at LB's MotD and seeing a Sisterhood event planned for the 31st.. I realize now I got the events mixed up.. oh well..

Still, I find it interesting that Double Feature won... good thing I didn't show up, Universal Kid might have made it a tie.

That Overseer is incredible! I love the texture your husband achieved from scrapping the skin/flesh away. Well done!

As for the Rogue emblem, well that's just awesome!

...but the true winner is the Borg o'lantern, that is outstanding!

Well, Halloween was a little quiet.. only had a few trick or treaters (mainly nieces and nephews). I set up a display for 4 of my Movie Monsters (Dracula, Wolf Man, Frankenstein and Gillman).. I would have loved to put them all on display, but I simply couldn't find anymore lights.. anywhere..

I did manage to carve one last pumpkin before Dexter came on tonight. Here's Elvira Mistress of the Dark.



I have a medium sized pumpkin that I will be carving a turkey into for Thanksgiving for my mom... but I am going to wait a few weeks. Going to give my carving hand a rest. Hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween, feel free to share anymore pumpkin carvings!

As promised, here's Vincent Price,



I really love this pattern, definitely my favorite this year!

Also, I had a little extra time last night after watching Ghostbusters 1 & 2 (back to back), so I carved everyone's favorite Mogwai on one of the medium sized Pumpkins.

I managed to get my hands on a Vincent Price pattern, so that will be my next carve. Then I think I will carve Elvira tomorrow night. This has been a lot of fun, I hope you all enjoyed seeing the finished pumpkins. I had a blast carving them.

Pre-Happy Halloween All!

Heh, Meatwad Simple, but effective!

Zekiran_Immortal, those are some neat looking carves. Well done!

Well, with Halloween only a few days away I decided to be a little more generous, and give away some of my Monster pumpkins. My original Gillman and Wolf Man each now have a new home. Gillman went to my Uncle who thought it looked amazing the first time he saw it, while the Wolf Man went to one of my Aunt who has been -hinting- at getting one to put on display in her bay window.. and for my other Aunt, I carved Chewbacca by request.



Now, with a Monster collection feeling incomplete, I had to carve a new Wolf Man and Gillman, but sticking to my rule of not carving the same pattern twice.. I carved the following..



That's better, set complete once again. I gotta say, I am really loving the second Gillman more.

Unified Field Facade is awesome... I must have this!

Yea, I'm getting a little carried away this year.. but in all honesty, I don't expect to carve many next year.. maybe 5. That's the only issue with them not rotting.. Pretty soon I'll need a room dedicated for Foam Pumpkins :P

The image Flashrains posted is huge. On the right side there's a 'lit' version, might have to scroll over to see it, maybe?

Something a little more simple and traditional Halloween,



This one is going to a friend of my moms who asked for something "Halloween'ish"

Still to come,

Elvira, Princess Tiana (for my cousins 1 year old) and Erik the Phantom, if I can settle on a design of the stencil..

Well in the strange case of Jekyll and Hyde, you only see one side at a time. For display, I think I will barrow my moms lazy susan turntable.

As for my earlier dilemma, I'm thinking of lining the inside of both carves with tissue paper to eliminate the 'show through' of the reserve side.

That GW carving looks amazing! It turned out well.

Well I did another carve the other night. This one is a double sided carve, Dr. Jekyll on one side with Mr. Hyde on the other. I am trying to figure out how to photograph them without the back side pattern being viewable in the photo.

So I've been trying to track down stencils of the more obscure Universal Classics, namely Lon Chaney's Phantom.. Well the ones I found were either designed for a 'shaded' pumpkin or.. they simply looked nothing like the character. Finally I said, "To heck with it!" and designed my own using various photos I found on the interwebz.. This was a 8+ hour project in Photoshop.



Still not quite happy with it, but the Phantom is a tough subject to stencil because of his unique features. I might try and carve this if I get the time later today.

I am really getting sick of this disgusting 'entitlement' attitude people have anymore. Get over it. If you don't want something, because you don't think it's worth your money.. well then don't buy it.. This constant, "Well.. I'd buy it, but it would need this.. and some of that!" is getting old.

Not to mention the empty threats, "Won't add what -I- want? Fine, I'm leaving!" It's just childish. Grow up! Want to actually make a point? Leave quietly. That actions speaks louder than a selfish rant on the forums.

/end rant

I can think of at least 10 of my characters who can make use of those auras. I'll definitely be picking this up in November!

The Vamps and Spirits are spawning at a good pace.. Werewolves actually seem kinda low this year :/

On a side note, I just spent about an hour and a half trick or treating without getting a Halloween tip drop. Though, upon logging in earlier I saw yellow text in my chat window "The Mundi is under your control, for now".. Did I manage to get flagged for completing it last time I ran it on test, and there's just some kind of hard timer on the drop? or am I just having really -bad- luck?

Those are some awesome looking badges!

gimme gimme!

Is it the 21st yet?

*waits*

How about now?

*waits longer*
