Due to popular demand (and some of the Syndicat being unable to attend
the previous time) we are rescheduling the start date for our
event. Please ignore the date and time in the original
post! The new date and time is:
Wednesday, April 19th - Club Avalon - Starting at 7 PM EST
(7 PM EST, 6 PM CST, 5 PM MST, 4 PM PST - Midnight GMT)
That's the best I can do with time slots. Any
earlier, and it's during the working day for the PSTers. Any
later and it's really **bleep** late for the GMTers. Come on! You GMT
wimps can stay up until Midnight! I'm up all the time until
Midnight! =P And if Midnight doesn't attend at Midnight, I strip
Midnight's title and call her Noon! MUHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!
*cough*
Ok. Now, I know currently that some PSTers will be working at the time
of the event. However there are two ways to get around this:
1. Be sneaky. Have one of your friends get on AIM and play MxO if
you have a computer at your workplace. When they receive a
business card code, they can AIM you and you can still go to our
website, put in the code, and look at the card and still solve along
with them. So yes, you can be in the event without being in
MxO. Solve the puzzle, have them send it in... genius.
2. Some of the puzzles have been set to really really stupidly
hard mode. Which means that I actually anticipate that at least 2
of the business cards will take a day or more to solve. This
difficulty means that many people will be able to participate, as long
as they know the card's code to reach it on the website. Once you
solve it, do the usual thing and e-mail me the answer. I will
reward the first person who sends me the answer, as per the rules. I will not close the event down due to any time constraints. The puzzles will remain active until they are solved.
Also, because of the Update 42 hotfix, I will be deleting all of my old
jobs. Which I have like 40 of. So, I will be rolling in
dough, and so will alot more Syndicat members. This means the
prize money for the event will be going up.
Also, we're re-organizing how we are distributing the money. The
"easier" puzzles will be worth alot less as compared to the "*CENSORED* HARD"
puzzles. The smallest amount you can win from a card is 500,000
$i, and that's from the easiest puzzle. The hardest puzzles will
have a prize that will be determined once we get a lock on how much
money we will have raised for this event.
Finally, we will be releasing some promotional cards, so everyone can
get a feel for the system. The promotional cards will start this
Saturday, and will be out on the forums and some other places.
Stay tuned to this thread for more updates on the event. New things will be added!
