SotM Weekend - Event #3 - Around the World in 80 Plays...with Vengeance!

For this game, you job is to play in as many environments as possible. Simple put your name on the left, and add a point every time you play in a specific environment: Around the World in 80 Plays...With Vengeance! 

Here is how the scoring works:

  • The first time you play any environment, you get 2 points. After that 1 point.
  • Each time you complete every environment in a set, you gain a bonus: 4 points for the core set, and 2 points for the other sets and both mini-expansions.
  • Each time you complete all of the environments you have, you get an addtional point per environment. For example, if you only have the core set, Shattered Timelines and SIlver Gulch, and you complete all of them, you get an additional 7 points.

 

So if you complete every environment once you would have: 48 points.

 

Here's the big news:

If we have a total of 300 points, one of the Vengeance environments will be revealed.

If each environment has at least 10 points, one of the Vengeance environments will be revealed.

 

Start time: Friday, November 8th, 12:00 AM CST

End Time: Sunday, November 10th, 11:59 PM CST

Excellent!  I've historically made a point of playing all environments a nearly equal number of times (currently they're all between 4 and 6), so this challenge will come easily to me, and unlike last weekend I have absolutely nothing else to do.  The only sad part is that I can't start until the day after tomorrow.

I keep forgeting the Vengeance Environments have not been revealed!

I am taking side bets here folks! Where do YOU think the Vengeance grudge matches are going to go down?

I believe that we'll see either a "Vengeful Five Headquarters" or "Freedom V HQ" (if not both...though I still could swear that it was confirmed there was only one Environment).  I base this assumption on the Main Computer Room from Time Cataclysm...while its art is taken from the Freedom 4 comic, it has a unique HP canton not found anywhere else in Sentinels, and I think that it's less likely that this was done just for the sake of itself, than that it was a sneaky Vengeance preview.

There are two environments.

Hmm…

 

  1. Legacy's rural home town.  Need to allow flying cows to be a hazard, odd things concealed in corn fields, and crotchety old farmers yelling at heroes to get off their lawn.

  2. More time travel - mideval period.  Knights, fair maidens, Viking raiders, peasant communes, robbers with a heart of gold and possibly a dragon to complicate things further.

When it was first announced it was going to only come with one environment, it was later upped to having 2.

Amusing as this is, Legacy is not Superman.  His family have been American heroes for generations; he probably grew up as famous as JFK Jr.  I believe he's explicitly from Chicago, before moving to Megalopolis.

Some poeple already signed up. I am getting excited.

Quite true.  But doing a non-city but otherwise appearing mundane location would still be an option.  I just heaped it with the usual set of comic rural stereotypes.  :slight_smile:

 

I'll give it a shot, but traveling on Sunday will limit play time to just Friday evening and some on Saturday depending on other committments.

Yeah, unfortunately, camping is going prevent me from getting any games in this coming weekend, so I'm not going to be able to support the effort. Sorry, folks! I love this idea, though - thanks, Pydro!

Challenge Accepted, don't worry Rabit, we'll carry you this time.

Any rules about what villains or advanced mode being used, or can we all run Ambuscade in Rook City so it isn't a real threat?

Heroes and villains don’t matter, just the variety of environments.

I'll do what I can. I have the core set + Silver Gulch, so 5 games from me would net 17 points, I think. One of those games shall be Living Campaign 2 chapter 3D, as it's the only game in a while I've been able to contribute to.

If I do all twelve I get 48.

If I do them a second time I would get 12 for doing each one a second time, then an additional point for each environment, for another 12 right?

So I could play 24 games and get 72 points?

I don't think I can pull that off, but it is worth a shot.  Environments must be revealed.

I've been thinking, would it really be fair for me to contribute to these rewards? It seems like these rewards are targeted towards non-playtesters. I'm sure they feel like they should unlock them on their own, without the help of them nasty playtesters…

While I do admit that those rotten playtesters ruin everything, and are dirty cheating know-it-alls, I for one would be willing to forge a temporary alliance, as I'm sure a reduction in the redactions around here would benefit everyone.

Six people doing the 12 match marathon puts us at 276 points, and 12 points on each environment.

So if six of us can run all twelve, and others add in what they can we will get this done.

Just to be clear, if we hit our goals, Christopher will reveal the environments. Sorry playtesters, but this is Christopher’s privilege.
