Testing the Waters

Looking at running another Arvat Contest Extraordinaire in the near future. Timing will be set up to start shortly after the KOP contest ends, if there is enough interest. Hence - I'd like to get a list of who would be interested so I can see if that's a good time frame. Prize and rules will be similar to the last one, with a few minor changes to try to eliminate issues with people not in the contest challenging in and messing people up and a few other tweaks based on participant feedback. I'd like to get at least a dozen to 15 entrants if possible but 10 would be okay. Obviously I would be in. Who else?

Count me in.

I have a new team in DM-32 that I haven't run yet who would be perfect for a contest.

I like to support causes, especially ones I don't have to score. I'm in. Smile

With a Turf War scheduled to start in Jan, I may have to pass on this one.

La Guillotine messaged me on Chat that he is definitely in for the contest. Anyone else? These were the prizes last time - working on a few more good ones, PLUS most of these:

Prize Pool:
Once a prize is picked it is removed from the pool.
1.) Limited stat switch (You can swap any 2 stats you want on an Arvat replacement rollup that you receive within the next 6 month)
2.) Extra replacements (Next time you get a replacement (or whenever you want within 6 months) in Arvat you can ask RSI for 5 additional replacements and select the best one for your team)
3.) Limited damage bump (You can pick one warrior on your Arvat team to move up one damage class – as long as he remains in-bounds for his ST/SZ stats)
4.) Favorite weapon knowledge (You learn the favorite weapon of one of your Arvat warriors – must be on the team during the contest)
5.) Favorite rhythm knowledge (You learn the favorite offensive effort and activity level of one of your Arvat warriors, who most have been on your team during the contest.)
6.) Shrinking potion (You get to take 3 points of size away from an Arvat replacement during the next 6 months and add the 3 points to another stat – both SZ and the other stat must remain in bounds)
7.) Extra skills (Any one of your warriors in Arvat learns 3 extra skills of your choice (no more than 2 can be in the same area and must be in bounds)
8.) Extra train (Any one of your Arvat warriors gets an extra stat train in the area of your choice – and must be in bounds)
9.) The Dark One’s Massive Rollup prize (You get 50 team sheets, at random, from the Dark One’s massive pile of teams. Most will be mediocre at best, but there are plenty of decent to good warrior prospects in there!)
All prizes must be applied within 6 months from the end of the tournament, must be on Arvat warriors on the team that participated in the contest and must be in bounds.

HW gave me a 70% chance of participating. So I'll log him as a maybe. TUM said he would participate only if one of the prizes was AMBI, so we'll see...
