Well, I already have one event going, but I thought of another that I'm actually kinda excited about and wanna get started with ^.^
This event seems easy at first: Whoever can solo lv 172 the fastest wins! BUT THERE'S A CATCH!
You have to unequip ALL of your gear! This means that you can't wear armor, wings, flags, E.F's, coin heads, mini bots, mercs, ANYTHING. Not even a gun! (hehehe, have fun with that one >:D )
I WILL allow people to use active and passive skills (since it's too hard to see if they're being used anyway, lulz) and trans packs (cause otherwise you'd be trying forEVER on this event :P )
I will run this event until Midnight of Sunday, PST, so you'll have plenty of time to try and get a good time on the level. When you feel like you got your best time, PM me a screenie of the win screen as proof of your record. Be sure to post here that you have sent it to me! I don't want anyone's PMs getting lost.
Here are the rules, some of which I already stated above:
No gear of any sort may be used EXCEPT Trans packs, Skills, and RB/HP packs. This means no armor! Lv 0 gear only!
ESPECIALLY no guns! You'll have to lure and push bubble. Good luck on that front ;)
Any level bot is allowed, as long as it meets all the rules.
Any bot type is allowed. There will be separate prizes for different bot types so that it's fair
Don't post your screenies here. PM only plz. Feel free to send multiple screenies if you get better records...
DO notify me here when you have PMed me
You have to be untransed in the screenie, to prove you have no gear. If its too difficult to time it just right, you can have a friend join the room and suicide at the beginning so that your bot will show in untransed form in the MVP section
A valid alternative to a screenie is a video, if this is easier for you
You can enter with as many different bots as you want, but you're only allowed to win ONE prize. If you win with multiple bot types, I will give the runner-ups the first place prize (say you win with ram and surge. You can only get the prize for one of them...)
And ofc, you have to do the map solo! No help from friends ;)
Prizes:
1st place ram: 20m
1st place surge: 20m
1st place patch: 20m
Runner-up in each bot catagory: 5m (I will increase this to 10m if enough people enter...)
Please feel free to reply here with suggestions, feedback, and questions. And to notify me that you have sent a PM, ofc.
Good luck, all! I hope you think this sounds like as much fun as I think it does!
CURRENT ENTRIES: 1 ram, 1 patch, 1 surge
[UPDATE] I'll keep a running tally of how many screenies I have had PMed to me, so you guys can tell how much competition there is. Also, I forgot to mention you can send me multiple screenies if you get better times...
[UPDATE 2] I have decide to remove the rule about doing the lv on hard mode, as it will make it hard to keep track and make sure everyone actually IS doing it on hard
[UPDATE 3] Bot must be untransed in the screenie (you can have a friend join and suicide so you can show up in MVP window as untransed). OR you can elect to send a video, instead....
[UPDATE 4] you can enter with multiple bots, but you can only win one prize!
how are you gonna tell if its on hard mode?

The exp given in the win screenie
someone could just join with a friend and the friends kills everything then suicides at the end so it looks like a solo
how do u tell if its legit?

Iz ok, i didn't think about the friend helping and quitting thing until you mentioned it, actually. Thanks for watching out for me!
The only thing I can't verify is wether they are using a merc or not. But I think a merc wouldn't help much on 172 anyways....
PMed. Hope I win! Can we enter with more than one bot type? Like, I have a surge and a ram. Can I enter with each?
If Ross enters I'm sure we all quit :P Jk
I'll enter and try it tomorrow
Sent you a PM ^^
Also do you mind me asking when you will be doing the prize giving ::)
Are II skills allowed? And am I allowed to push everything? When is the event over?
(I can show a video instead of a screenshot to prove I put it on Hard mode since the exp will change.)

Prizes will be distributed on Monday morning or late Monday night. And ultranoob, good job! I just now decided to let people do it on easy, though, cause it'll be too hard for me to keep track of exp during the event, and also with multipliers and membership (thanks for pointing that out reviax)

II skills: I'd really rather not allow II skills, but I have no way to enforce this rule unless I make everyone post videos, which I don't want to do. So yeah, I guess they're allowed
Pushing is allowed :)
Event will end Sunday at midnight, PST
Also @ultranoob you should prolly try again on easy mode to try for a better time ;)

Ok, >:( xD
Does the screenie have to be taken when your BOT is untransed?
Otherwise people could pretty easily get away with hiding parts since you can't see any of it when they transform. =/

but at the end game screen it shows your bot untransed next to the scores

No it doesn't. The MVP award doesn't appear when there's only one player in the room. The most you'll be able to see is the players head and their minibot.
For example:

Hmmmm, good point. I didn't pay close enough attention that it doesn't show your MVP for one player...
Ok, if you post a screenie, you have to be untransed
If your bot isn't untransing fast enough, you'll have to send me a vid instead...
Glad you caught that.

What if i take a screenie while im charging up and then show the win screen after that will it be valid then? Since i cant vid
Nope, sry. Can't prove it was from the same game
One more alternative I just thought of is to get a friend to join and agave him suicide. Then MVP will show up ^.^

But that will give the mobs slightly more HP which can have an impact on the player's time.

Yeah, I was wondering when you'd show up. You can participate, but everyone knows you're te best. Would you consider just receiving honorary first place when (not if) you win? I want others to have a chance ::)

What's the fastest time atm?
I'm not going to disclose people's times until after the event, to avoid people not bothering for fear that they won't succeed. I will say that I only have one surge entry atm, tho, and no entries for the other bot types...
i have a vid ready, it's uploaded unlisted. do i pm it to you or something?
