Channel 5 Action News - Press Release!

This is a Channel 5 Action News special report!



Centropolis billionaire and playboy philanthropist Dominic Saggitarius has generously persuaded Channel 5 News to conduct a press release on his behalf. The handsome and powerful mogul is known mainly for his presidency at the Millionaire Center and his Councilorship of Centropolis, but who can forget his great history with dragon hunting? It's known he's on the lookout for recruits to join his new expedition in the Omen Islands, and we're delighted to hear from him today.







Hey, it’s me, your best friend Blake! I know that you’ve been eagerly awaiting whatever exciting adventure that I’ve got in store for you this time, and you can’t wait to get an all new, promotional Steele Excavations shovel! Hah, just kidding, I promise that there will be no digging this time.



Man all that sand, I got such a rash on my-








Ahem (Saggitarius interrupts), I think we’ll just end that sentence right there, thank you. This is MY press release. It is I, Saggitarius, famed dragon hunter and explorer. You have a unique opportunity to join an expedition to the Omen Islands. Please join me on the islands at your earliest convenience and we’ll see if you have what it takes to be part of Team Gold-



(Blake interrupts) Or Team Blake Is Best!



(Saggitarius sighs) Or Team Steele.



Thank you to the wonderful Mr. Saggitarius and whoever the other guy was. Something about shovels? I'm told that signups are going to last a few days, so join both men at the Omen Islander Village (passage to which has been generously opened to those without maps for the duration of the adventure, courtesy of Mr. Saggitarius) to learn more and pick your team!



This has been a Channel 5 Action News special report!

I'm late to this, but, uh, I do hope that the indigenous population is... ok with whatever it is that we're soon to be doing? They're going to notice a bunch of people hanging out on the beach and if we start 'manifest destiny-ing' all over the place.
I like them and am not seeing this addressed. :( Go Team Islanders?
Speiro
I mean these decisions are normally made just based on which character you like more. This is the first time (that I can remember?) where there are actual differences between how the two teams operate, but we barely know anything so how can we really choose? It's like flipping a coin, and I'm worried I'm going to end up hating my team because I can't tell what I'm getting myself into. :(
wren2012
This decision is agonizing so I'm just going to rip the bandaid off and pick a side.
Steele it is! <3
Speiro
I really wish we knew what "adventuring for longer" entailed, and what "energy" is being used for. There's some kind of game here, but without knowing the rules it's really hard to make a good decision.

If this is going to be like the fishing game, but one team gets fewer tries per hour, it's going to be really tedious to get anywhere if you're on Team Gold.

On the other hand, if we're moving across some kind of game board and Saggi's team makes more progress per turn, being on Team Steele will make it more tedious.

idk?

Adventure awaits!

I don't care about sp, I just want more battles.

I went with Blake because it seems like it's structured so that you get more money if you're with Saggi, but you probably have to buy your supplies more often and I imagine they'll be expensive. (Especially since it's a plot, and those sorts of needed-to-progress items go for a FORTUNE.) I feel like supplies lasting longer and being able to adventure longer will probably pay off more in the end than the supposed higher income from Saggi (but it will depend on the pay discrepancy, honestly). Plus, I like Blake more from this little snippet of their personalities.
Nekomancer
Team Gold here! Hope we don't lose out simply to popularity. Saggi has been super generous to me in the past despite his arrogance. Plus, I love his sense of style.
MamaBear
It would be easier for me, personally, to make a decision if I knew for sure how much our battle pets' stats had to do with all of this. Being a one-hit wonder for both teams isn't really telling me much of anything, and right now in my head, this feels like it's just going to be a lower vs. higher tiered battle competition.

Guess I just don't see why there isn't a way to give us more information to make a somewhat informed decision without spoiling everything, when we can all hear the pissing match over prizes at the end from here.

Am I suppose to be his care taker now I mean. I guess i'm on it, gimmie like 5 minutes to run to the store.

joined team gold w/o listening to steele's spiel (hah, rhyme!), & then immediately jumped into saggi quests. dunno what that says about me?
Pistachio
I had to pick Saggi :heart:
Julie
Well, it’s clear that you’re no seasoned warrior like myself, but I can’t fault you - it was an adequate effort.

I kick your gold butt every time we meet in battle coliseum.
Hiallina
Can't decide! While I prefer Saggi over Steele, I would punch myself in the guts if the team I chose loses again because of simple NPC popularity difference, and Steele looks more popular... although he saying "Oh sure, I bet you’re one of those fussy people that want want to be paid “on time” and “in full”." certainly does not help me liking the guy. At least Saggi is consistently arrogant.
PiplupMagby34
I'm still torn about deciding which team....
I know I'm saving up money for pet slots and whatnot so maybe Saggi.... :confused:
Does anyone remember digging for Blake before? I hadn't joined Subeta during that event and maybe that will help me decide....
Ninja
Wait... Saggi's first name is Dominic?! D8
Peppermint
As much as I love flippant Saggi, I am totally sold on adorakable Steele. TIME TO VENTURE

i joined blake but i am also here for this make it happen thanks

So very very torn -flops over-
Azzie
Go Team Adorkable! ??
Archmage
Team gold because more money with less time spent. And "gold" sounds good, I hope to get a nice forum title from this team.
usagi
"I’ll give you a shout when I’m ready… or not, I guess, however it turns out."

yo Blake you better not flake, you hear? :X /shaky fists
we gotta get our act together, son
Diprosopus
"Hell yeah, friend- Is he giving out stuff? Bring me back some swag!"

lmfao blake
stars_water
And then I wound up joining Blake. :v
More money is great and all, but I do prefer adventure.
Diprosopus
ITS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if Saggi will go bare-chested.

I'm concerned about Blake's sudden personality transplant, so I'm going with Saggi. Seriously, I know his Wiki says he's awkward, and he's drawn that way now, but he never acted like this from what I can remember!

Also I agree with @Princezz, Saggi has given me toooons of sP over the years, and Blake has just smirked at me while I've thrown myself at his crypts over and over again and never gotten any prizes :P
Britney
lets do this team gold!
wren2012
For Gold side...what does "more sp" mean? Is it just slightly more than a relatively minute amount to begin with? Or, are the event earnings significant? Because right now I'm leaning towards Steele. Adventure! :)
Destruction


All in for Team Gold.
Laurey
@Marlboro
No, there doesn't seem to be. I've battled each 10 times now and didn't get anything except a couple of easy tokens.
Life
nevermind lol I found it, you have to click on them
Hellbent
Also, FYI you can fight both dummies, and here are the options.

Team Steele can adventure for longer/energy and supplies run out slower
Team Gold pays out sP more frequently / and in higher amounts.
Life
Where are people seeing all of this about energy bonuses and stuff? I need more information before I can choose a side!
WHY IS THIS SO HARD
Marlboro
@Laurey @StarShadow
Thanks!!

Is there a loot?
stars_water
Hmm... I don't trust either of these two... I'm leaning more toward joining Sagittarius though.
Bokuto
Team Blake Is Best! :D
Hellbent
Also,

WILLLLLLLSSSSSOOOOOOOONNNNNN
Hellbent
I dont know???? I hate these types of events only because you have to choose a side and i'm so indecisive. Like, I'm not attached to either one really so it's hard to pick. I think I'm going to go with Blake because he just seems friendlier and doesn't seem like he's going to look down his nose at me. (I kinda get that feeling with Saggi).
Petal
Ahhh, decisions!!! Will both guys announce or post more stuff about each of the campaigns? It doesn't say precisely how many days there are for signups, and I wouldn't want to miss them mostly because of silly uncertainty :p I mean!!! Decisions!!!!!
Lorelai
@Armor Well I know WHY he has his rash. His last Crevice Inspector (and Cleaner) clearly didn't do their job properly. We shall have to remedy this by requesting the formation of a team of Crevice Inspectors (and Cleaners).

I also joined Team Steele. My greed was defeated by my dislike of arrogance and dragonslayers ;k If there is digging (even though he says there won't be) I have tidy selection of explosives, so I'm sure I can manage.
SpiritImmortal
Proud member of Team Gold!
Yes, I'm greedy. I've been spending a lot of money lately okay!

Also, I see what you did there, Channel 5 Reporter ;)

After all the digging last time, even though you claim there won't be any, not a chance Blake. :P All in for Team Gold.

@Darkrai
OOOH yah, for some reason I was thinking of Shengui
nier
on one hand i love money on the other i also like more fun
Julie
I might have to go with Team Steele. Only because I've done more events with him as my guide.
Lexx
Kinda just... accidentally applied for Team Gold. Clicked twice to make the page load, and my mouse apparently was right over the apply button.
Welp, I guess that made my hard decision easy. XD
Tiobe
finally skewed news coverage that's actually entertaining! ;) thanks channel 5! :D
Lisa
SAGGI! You've killed DRAGONS?! YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM. joins Blake
