I went into one expecting goons and scaled up Juggs greeted me with 2 headbutts to the face. No goons at all in that one; just scaled up villains.

No, no. An exotic vacation? Not.. quite. Actually.. it's a new vacuum cleaner. And you're going to need to buy a LOT of accessories for it separately, which I'll leave up to you. You can use it for about a minute or so, then you'll lead to let it recharge for two hours. I know it actually seems worse than the normal vacuum, but I put a lot of thought into this, I promise. Wait, why are you walking to the door?"

It takes serious balls to design a gaming event that is designed to be annoying, frustrating, enraging, unpleasant and not at all fun. Seriously. Think about it. Now, I absolutely hated everything about this - as we were supposed to. But most of all I hate the rewards : there weren't any. So far I've gotten two recruit tokens and 25 ISO. And the next reward, which is so far away that I can't make it, would be a further 25 ISO. My alliance simply stopped trying when Galactus hit round 5 because we could no longer do any damage to him. (You simply die before you can use any powers.) The rewards aren't anywhere near worth the frustration.

Who knows what repercussions this event will have for the future of the game. Hopefully not a lot. Yet, there are many lessons learned from all sides of the table. Let's just hope there's better days ahead.

It's money i've accumulated from doing the Google surveys that pop on my phone occasionally, so it is literally free money. But this event is so, so terrible that i can't bring myself to give them a dime. It just sucks.
