  1. People have asked what's basically needed and convinced me that I can't expect to skate this thing and collect the groupies.

    So, here it is.

    Everyone with the 3 warburg nukes, shivs, hvacs (really good), and eoes (about 3 per person).

    A couple of kins with ID because it turns out, not everyone puts 3 kb IOs on all their squishies.

    3 or 4 dark fenders.

    6 quality tanks with breakfrees and eoes.

    Me.


    Yellow mitos and hami will be taunted away from the mob of heroes. Said mob will smite hami and continue to smite hami, eating an eoe when instructed or when their EoE starts to flash. Hami shall be smoted until he be twain, but only after the number 3 be reached. (Tanks should think about getting a hit in at some point)

    Under no circumstances shall Hami be smitten, unless it is with Mrs. Hami.

    After, groupies form a line.

    We all make mistakes like that.

    It's not the number of core player groups, it's the non-lazy ones.

The 4 ehancements that were in the 4th line disappeared.

    I'm not so much posting this for any players who will no doubt redicule me but if a redname happens to come across this thread, I may have found a bug.
    Might be something to try on test.

  8. Blue.

    I doubt we have adequate EoEs redside to burn on an experiment.
  9. tl;dr - nukes & shivs & hvas & EoEs


    Thursday at 9edt.

    Here's the catch, we need as many people as possible with the warburg nukes and shivs.

    If only 10 people show up with 'em, ain't gonna happen.

    If you want to help out but aren't sure how to get the nukes or shivs, contact me via pm or in-game and I'll help you out.

    NOTE: Consider this an experiment. If it doesn't work this way, then it ain't gonna happen with greens borked atm. No whining.

    zerg raid ain't the same as a no-retreat. a zerg means everyone buffs up (eats eoes as needed) and goes straight for hami till he's down.

    Absolutely. Global channels are the future.

    But yeah, thanks for lumping the entire SG in there. Thanks for implying all of us are part of some underhanded plot to manipulate a contest for money.

    Looks bad when that team of 5 walk away with 2 of three prizes...when there were what, 13 other people showing up? And I doubt you're the strangers you make yourselves out to be.

    No matter, people who soloed it were idiots.

    We ran it twice and failed, then joined 3 others who were teaming and hadn't succeeded yet. I didn't see anywhere that said you couldn't team.

    There were 5 people on our team at once point. One was from TL....me. No one else from TL was involved in anyway with this contest that I am aware of.
    My apologies, the big TEMPEST LEGION chat at the top threw me.

    Quote:
    I sent Cai a question about it, because the first time we succeeded someone, Merms, who apparently wasn't qualified in time, was our team leader....so no one got any prizes. When I explained that only the team leader could get the screenshot with the required contact message, we were told that wasn't enough....not that a team wasn't allowed. So we ran it again! Then we ran it several more times, and failed at least once more, after we figured it out, to get a prize for those who were qualified.
    Team: <player1 who was in ineligible>: that all of em?
    Team: <player2 who later won a top prize>: yup 3 prizes
    Team: <player1>: Is <player2> the only other one going for it?
    Team: <player3 who also won a top prize>: ok, restart it with <player2> in charge?

    later...

    Team: <player3>: and thank you everyone who helped, when I get the prize, I won't forget you


    Very sorry if I misinterpreted that. So sorry if I implied that TEMPEST LEGION was somehow involved.

    We're just a private enterprise operation.

    Stop whining or complaining about Tempest Legion or you are going to make me irritated.
    How? By curling your fists and knotting your brow vigorously?

    As it is, I already acknowledge above that per you, TEMPEST LEGION had nothing to do with it.

    WN, I was in AP's AE when you were running them and I never saw you receive any help.

    It's unfortunate that your name as a winner kinda gets slimed.

    Kudos and congrats.

    Kinda like being second in line for tickets and then the guy in front of you lets in 7 of his friends before the sales open up.
    Yeah, but there'd be a way for that team to make it right...if they thought they were in the wrong (or to avoid the appearance of impropriety) and the people who were in the spirit of the contest were idiots for doing it solo.

    Y'know. If.

    Grats to the winners
    I agree with you, to a point. Especially as it was very fun.

    However, when you offer up prizes and see it thusly won (and knowing some of the people involved, even though there was no impropriety it gives the appearance of it), I can sympathize.

    *tradeable? Firefox says both are wrong.
    That's how it's been done in other contests.

    Sometimes when something is impossible, you should try something else.


    And yeah, I had the hostage thing happen to me too. It was kinda fun to track where they were running through the walls.

    Agreed. I know people still doing it, eligible or not, just for the challenge and fun.
