Trouble at EPICon
Hello, I'm Titania McGee with Channel 5 Action News, your best source for up to date information!
Channel 5 is still proud to be bringing you the exclusive content live from EPICon! Just before the commercial break, we had Tres Neufeld of Dynamo Systems sharing exciting new information about the updated weather generation engine for the upcoming sequel to Legend of Hilda. If you missed it, stay tuned for a replay later in the day!
Any minute now, the second of the guest speakers will be taking the auditorium stage. Junichiro Kurokawa, the creator of Almost Metal Scientist, is set to hold a Q&A session regarding the upcoming movie adapt--
Quote:
Look at me! I have a third eye! Oooooh, how intimidating!
Shut it, Nico. Do you even know what a third eye is? No, because all your games rely on brute force and mindless firepower.
Er, sorry about that. There seems to be some kind of argument breaking out in the crowd. As I was saying, the creator of Almost Metal Scientist will be fielding questions from the crowd about the upcoming movie adaption. Said to focus on the Revenge Arc of the plot, many fans are wondering how character development will be handled, or if this film will be a product for the die-hard f--
Quote:
Of course I know what a third eye is. But you're fighting a freaking lock, Manwar. Just go get a crowbar. It doesn't take psychic ability!
Psst! Cover this, Lloyd.

It's not just any lock, Nico. It's ENCHANTED. Brute force isn't going to work on it! Plus, you know, there are undead protecting it as well. You need strategy!
Strategy? They're living dead. You burn the corpses and move on! Gosh, these card games are so one dimensional. Give me a video game with multiple scenarios going on at once, so I have to think!
I hope you're joking. There are so many threats going on in a card game at once! Your hit points! Your remaining deck! Whether or not you should play that card now or risk waiting! Don't even pretend there's any thinking going on in your games. You point and click and BOOM! the monster is dead.
You act like card games are the only games with a risk of death or cooldowns to consider. You realize most video games also have hit points and a risk if you choose to use a particular move now instead of later, don't you? You're so ignorant and outdated. Just because we have spectacular graphics when we do choose to blow something up, that doesn't mean it's mindless! Join the times, Manwar. Video gaming is much more popular than your tabletop models.
Ignorant and outdated?! Have you even tried playing a card game? They're freaking timeless, and they don't require batteries or tons of cables and wires. And you know the best part? I get to play in a room face-to-face with all of my friends, instead of locked away in MY MOM'S BASEMENT PLAYING AGAINST SOME LOSER NAMED xXxTEABAG69xXx .
You leave my mother out of this! I pay rent and she happens to be an excellent cook! I'm willing to bet you that of all the booths here at this convention, the ones related to video games outsell your "timeless" games by a landslide!
You're on, Nico! Loser has to play the winner's favorite game for a day!
Haha, I'm looking forward to seeing you with a wireless remote in your hands. Later, pal.
You heard it here first, folks! A wager between the Video Gamers and the Tabletop Players. The crowd is already is beginning to rally behind their favorite cause, lining up to support Team Nico or Team Manwar. This is going to be an interesting EPICon! More on this story as it develops. This is Titania McGee signing off. Game on, Subeta!

Hmmm is there any way to change sides? I read the wrong descriptions and joined the wrong game side! Can anyone help with that or am I now stuck with a side I don't want to be on?

You can bet that the average will fly when they bring out the other ways to gain points. I dont have any points yet, though Ive tried. I work for 9 hours a day, have a family to take care of, and just plain SUCK at restocking even when I do get time to try.

It would be nice for people to remember, that even if they do join a side and don't earn points, it's not because they're not trying.

I'm not liking this whole "Average" thing. Nico's team has 40k more points, twice as many restockers, more people in the high score table...and is losing. So theoretically, it doesn't matter how well your team does, because some people will join just to get a trophy and never earn a point. Most of those people are probably twelve-year-old-girls who have never even seen tabletop games before.
So, in theory, unless you join the tabletop gamers with less mainstream fans, it doesn't matter how well you do simply because there are more people dragging down the team than supporting the team.
Well then.

...Actually, come to think of it, watching Nico play D&D would be considerably more entertaining than watching Manwar play Halo.
Now I'm kind of rooting for Manny to win just to see it happen :'D

Video games are for those who are too young to understand the sophisticated concept of tabletops. Scre you guys. Nico has WAY too many noob followers.

i'm really hoping that some other options pop out soon for us to gather points, since school started today for me and i haven't much time to get on subeta. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" /> in the hour i've been on subeta, i've managed to scrape up a measly 16 points for team nico. xD at least it's higher than the average, i guess.

FFFUUU, I love both. But I'm more of a gamer than a... tabletop gamer. And I chose the obviously-doomed team last RS war, so I guess I'll go with the more popular team this time.

Hey can anyone help me? I'm stuck on lvl 32 of The Legend of Hilda... I'm trying to beat those valy.... valky.... uhm.... those big opera ladies with the metal bras, but the orcs keep getting in the way! I tried IMing Teabag69, but he's afk atm.
And by the way, he's only named Teabag69 because he had 70 teabags left just before he had a brain fart on his name. His mom hadn't gone to the store yet.... He's an Earl Gray nut....
(hehehehe I posted this in the wrong forum.... Are there any events we can do for this yet? Please message me.)

How about they just solve it by playing a CHILDREN'S CARD GAME? :V
Seriously though, sounds like a fun event, especially with the promise of other things to do. Can't wait to see what happens!

Geez some of the staff members can be a little testy sometimes, so people don't like your event, big deal. Must agree an RS War is a bit of a let down though, it's an event for well practised users, would be nicer to have something more plot based that people can come back to and do after school rather than refreshing like mad for hours and still not getting anything.

thanks for that info Keith and the rest of the staff. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful for for me that was 'pokes pin in heart and pops & sob' given for me I'm to rusty and can't sit around all day to RS for my team so this part of the event, I can't really contribute much.

I am reassured by the fact that I won't have to RS to get at least some points. (:
Still not happy about the timing, but no point in beating a dead horse--I think everybody already knows this event is kind of overdue/right at back-to-school time.

If you wanted to give us an RS event, then give us and RS event, don't dress it up as something that sounds far more interesting.
RS wars are way too hard for me anyway. Sadly.
