Jesus, that request list populates faster than I can clean it. I just cleaned it up TWICE.

I'm relaxing at 30k for a while, until the numbers climb a bit more. 9-4-7 at the moment.

Arrogant, please bring on board Nazgul if he shows again--guess I just missed him.

I've also cleaned up the 40 or so requests we had at the bottom, leaving about 10 'selects'. If anyone recognizes any of the names, let me know.

When he first applied we were 19 of 19 so he couldn't apply, nazgul please confirm username so we don't accidentally dismiss you. I've heard if you get dismissed the countdown to re-join is all sorts of not short

And also, holy applicants batman. At this point I'd say it's useless to try to clean. Let's just wait til we get 20 then dismiss everyone. In an effort to not do something by accident, I'll ask that we please limit adding/ removing of members to qt and myself. Too many cooks can't hit the broad side of barn

You guys still recruiting?

My current points — 25.283 This is first run walkthrow of all mission in both sub events (yesterday I was first everywhere) + few today essentials, when the limit of accumulate sub events points has been reached. I will not do serious grind until last 8 hours.

i might have to wait a day doing more in the hard event since if i do too much now tomorrow they'll all be lvl 240

Not only — difficulty scaling complexity to both sub events and transferred to the next rounds too. So, I would not advise for success in first round turn life into 230 hell in future. It's like a marathon. First not the one who ran the fastest, first the one who has given his powers properly.

Blah. Blah.

Got to love rubberbanding... one full clear yesterday and just finished a full clear today. Zero grinding and sitting at 3rd in my main bracket and 6th and 3rd in the 2 subs.

Unity, with as much as I've seen you on the boards I figured you were in one of the major ones from the start. While you're the type of player we want, plays a lot and active on the forums etc, to get you in we' may have to boot someone and we haven't resorted to getting all "booty"

To all those showing interest, We're deciding on a 20th but haven't added them yet, if some of the non commanders become inactive or prospective members fall through we'll look to replace them. For now though it seems like we have ery limited room at the inn.

we may need to ask a current free agent to momentarily step down

Right in the middle of the events? Friendship is magic, lol.

What characters are you all relying on in this tournament so far?

Old good Patch, IM40 & OBW. When someone becomes unavailable or seriously damaged, choose Ares, ** Wolvie, Psylocke or Hood. It's very good replace. This time I really like roster of buffed characters.

Ugh, well, divine champions sucked, although it was kind of fun killing endless Thors.

Same boat. Nasty tourney. To many buffed characters. Ends in Top 25. My bracket was very brutal. For top 25 need ~750. All top 10 have 900-1000. Never seen this before.

atleast decide on the 20th person before the subevents are over.

edit: dunno if i'm coming off too competitive just want us to do good

We're waiting for nazgul to sign back on. If he doesn't before the end of the sub we'll obviously put someone else in. Come on guy

Edit: haha. Posted this before the edit

Double edit: I appreciate the fast start but we obviously need to also play the rubber band game. *Points at shield, shakes fist* Let's not be so worried about where we are and just make sure we finish strong and get decent prizes. It's just a game, diminishing returns, scaling, eviscerate the proletariat, etc etc

i read that in the next couple subevents drdoom, lazythor and (cant remember) will be powered up which will be really good for me

Nazgulprime is in, we ascend!

I think BP is in the super buffed 3* rotation

Unknown

I'd nonetheless, for the time being, like to see proof of all members when they cross the 30k threshold, so we can be sure everyone is active.

As I've stated with a few of you, I'll probably call for a points total with 12h remaining.

Ultra grinding is not desirable until late in event/subevents.

Hey guys, just got back from a late lunch with the family, my baby brother is visiting from NY. Glad to be part of the team!

Btw, i've been kind of controlling my play, aiming to maximize points as usual, but does anyone know for sure whether we are on a 12 hour reset or longer? Also, when does the reset occur? Why do the devs not make these event rules/guidelines clear This game is so cool, why make the event rules painful...

I personally hate rubberbanding, but I use it like everyone else. I don't think its a smart system for events, but I'm not a dev. Why would you want to motivate people to stay away from your game as long as possible and pounce for the points in the last couple of hours (I actually think it doesn't maximize profits for the game either)? Just say: Play as much as you like, there are diminishing returns (i.e.: you get less points and enemies grow in power) and we reboot point values at midnight (EST, PST or Greenwich ST). I'm all for simplicity in the rules (gameplay can be hard, that I don't mind) and fun all around.

Cheers,
NazgulPrime

Welcome to our most sacred Church, Nazgul.

Know that neither ring, nor hammer, nor sword shall cause thee to bend thy will to other cause.

Hone thine claws, keepest them sharp, that thou mayest ever anoint them in the blood of the profane.

Thou hast been chosen to strike fear into the beating hearts of gods. Slice again and again the flaxen locks from the false god, Thor, and thou shalt ever hold a place among thine brethren.

I just wanted to check in and give an update on my progress. I hit 32,065 earlier this afternoon. I was hovering in the top 3 for all three brackets but I'm only top 20 now. Once my points refresh I should bounce back up to the top. It looks like we're doing pretty good as a whole though, keep it up everyone.

Unknown

Thanks for the very eloquent welcome Qtquasar!!!

We shall bathe in the blood of our adversaries, enjoy great bounty (hopefully better than lazycap) and make them understand why there is no faith other than than the gospel of Patches.

Hallelujah!!!

Black Panther. They all be in main bracket open missions. Wait to see them too. My buffed Lazy Thor ~8000+, Doom ~6000+, T'Challa unknown, I leveled him few hours ago.

I'm also above 30k. I hope I don't get asked to leave. That would be embarrassing...
