Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips
Post by: Anonymous on August 14, 2007, 04:31:33 pm
Earlier today Drisena held a meeting in the Zion Construct. In the meeting Drisena states that she is holding a contest. The top 2 Faction/team to collect the most Agent tie clips get's a prize, and the one's in 3rd and 4th place get a special operation, I think it was ( wasn't really paying attention, I was recalling our people into the construct). Also, make note, we have to take a screenshot with a time/date (/time) of the Agent's (Level 100's) we've killed.  All screenshots must be sent to Drisena.  We have until August 28th to collect as many Agent Tie Clips as possible.

 
 Da6onet, Alchemist, NoCry1, or Destyn; If this information is wrong, please post ASAP. Remember, I was busy porting and was in /tell hell (omg plz hurry recall meh, etc etc, sigh lol).  :p


Edit: Recursion had a similar contest too. Here's the link: http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/posts/list.m?start=0&topic_id=36300015244#36300292570
I'm not sure what the winners got though.

would point out that tieclips should be sent to drisena for her to hand over to ghost (who is arranging the event); also, photos should presumably be posted on DN1; she was not clear.

oh, and forve the double post but when sending tie-clips include details of your "team" - no more than 10 people - in the email.

Also, there was brief news about Ghost being attacked by Agents during a recruitment mission; and Soluma is apparently sick and out of the simulation.

Broin, Dmax, ManicVelocity and myself took down three agents last night.

We need to get more people on to do this. It took us 15 minutes to kill each one; not very efficient indeed.

Well word has reached me that there will be RED players trying to capatalize on this Zion event by using their alts to pass their tie clips on to our liasson.  I'll be talking to her about this, but let's start collecting these things and just swamp the damn field.  

A good group is one person to IL, a healer, and the rest hackers.  Pretty much how we have done the Nodes.

I plan on doing a big push with this next week, but this is a whole factino effort.  The reward is a meeting with a LIve Event player and it is for the whole faction so it doesn't matter who gets what and turns it in.  Set loot on random or alpha, take your screenshots with time stamps and, group members and send them in.
Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips
Post by: Anonymous on August 17, 2007, 12:57:42 pm
And remember to report all suspected spies to Drisena at her request, I guess that includes the douches on alts
Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips
Post by: Broin on August 17, 2007, 06:06:32 pm
So here is the deal with this... If you farm in a group for these and the loot is on random or alpha remember to /time and screenshot your kills.  Sometimes you may not get the Agent was killed by whomever.  In that case do a /time right after someone searches the body.  Also make sure when you take the screenshot that you have your mini team menu open so that confirms who was there for the kill.

If you recieve the tie clip you need to email Drisena the tie clip with a brief description.  Something like...

Another one for the FA collection... Operatives invovled (list names)

Then you need to go to DN1 and send a PM to drisena of your screenshot.  Don't post it on the boards... send it as a pm.

Yup it appears that on the Recursion version of this everyone involved got a perpetual item of the winning team...  They however got 80+ tie clips and I think to win we should shoot for that number and more.  

WHICH we are way way behind... SO.... GET IN GAME AND LETS START FARMING
Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips
Post by: Anamodiel on August 19, 2007, 08:21:59 pm
We have 9 days left. If we do 8 or 9 a day, we should be able to get first or second place.

We just need people on. A team of 6 could take them out in 5-10 minutes.
Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips
Post by: Broin on August 19, 2007, 11:47:50 pm
Farming went really well tonight... With a full team of 6 we were taking them down in under 5 minutes.  We ended up with about 15 tie clips tonight.  

Everyone who participates in this will show up on my screenshots and will be acknowledged to Drisena as helping out.  Again on Recursion everyone on the winning team, who played a significant role, in helping out got a perpetual item.

I will be coming into game this week around 7-8 FA time.  Sometimes a bit earlier to farm these things with people.  I will probably also be in game on Tues. and Wed. Day.

Good work tonight everyone... Let's keep it up

I should be able to do Thurs/Fri night with you Nocry, we could always pull in some of the regulars from Mara C to assist
Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips
Post by: Broin on August 20, 2007, 12:44:55 pm
I know it is hard for some of our Euro people to be in game during the times we are, so.....

I am dedicating Tuesday and Wed for them.  I will be here in game early sometime probalby around 9 or 10 FA time and will hang around until about 2 FA time.

I think you guys are 6 hours in front of us so sometime during these times you guys should be able to get into the action.  I'm on right now and Adad is here.  It only takes 4 people to farm these things... 5-6 people and you can crank out about 10-15 in an hour or so.  More than enough to qualify you guys as part of the group who helped out.

If anyone else can come in Tue. and Wed. during these times post here.  Also I'd like to do a later night as well for Sorrows and a few of our other members who can't get in during the regular hours.  

WORK it out people... figure out when you can be here and hop in.  Don't just look on TS and think... Awww no ones here it's pointless to go in game.  Chances are all the other dopes who want to do this are doing the same thing.  Log onto TS get in channel and people will show up....

Oh and by the way ML is getting into this pretty heavy as well so we really need to get moving

I'll be there Tuesday and Wednesday to help out.

When I was in-game Saturday night, I saw a lot... a lot of dead agents lying around downtown.  Sometimes in clumps of two or three.  Let's get crankin'.

Those are the level 255 agents that spawn because the Devs haven't fixed their spawns yet. The level 100 agents disappear after being looted. No need to worry. :)

Post by: NoCry on August 21, 2007, 05:57:58 pm
right chaps and chapplettes; just had a little meeting with drisena who tells us that the rules of the contest have changed a little. I summarise per the below:

1. top 2 teams will be invited to special op (nothing new here)
2. a team can at most have 8 operatives (was 10, now 8)
3. each team must designate a team leader
4. team leader will "at the end" designate their 8 operatives
5. team leader's discretion to list them and those operatives do not have to be in the kill shots.

it seems to me therefore that we need 2 FA teams (or at least leaders who have sent in the most clips). I would like to be on either of those teams but tricky as it is now midnight gmt and only the good mr clark and I have been on. She said photos should still be sent before the end.

thing is though; take two of the highest tie clip gatherers from FA and assuming they had support that is a total of 16 active FA who can do the missions.

Yea I dont know what else to do than to get 2 teams going, but that will kill our progress.  Otherwise, we put it up to Broin who his 7 teammates are...I don't know how else to decide it but to look at all the shots and see who was there the most or something.  Other ideas?

That automatically eliminates those who sacrificed to heal. Maybe we should do it for those based on how often they were online to help, rather than who has the most final kills. As we all know, that is largely based on luck rather than on skill. Just ask those who got the Assassin mask.. and those who didn't.
Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips
Post by: NoCry on August 22, 2007, 05:49:29 pm
i agree with ana; dont want to disadvantage healers. Best thing is for the 2 highest current tie clippers to be designated as "captains" then when either one of them is on to give as much support as possible. Remember, screenies of kill and final confirmation at end of programme as to "team" members.
Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips
Post by: Broin on August 22, 2007, 07:20:21 pm
I think the two team idea is great.... HOWEVER from what I understand ML has been pounding these as well and have over 80 which we dont' even have yet.  So I'm gonna say we need to turn them in as one big unit.  

As far as selection we'll try to do it the fairest way as possible.  Personally I'd like to see the ones who have dedicated the most time get in it... So that would be out top 8.  If we could just have 2-3 more spots I think that would get everyone and maybe that's something I can talk to Drisena about... Anyways we'll see how it goes.

Post by: Broin on August 23, 2007, 08:43:16 pm
Okay by the time tonight's farming is done we should be very close to 100 tie clips... What does that mean.  Well we can do one of two things...

1)
Keep all the tie clips we have farmed so far, and will continue to farm, with one group and have 8 members with certainty get into the event.

2)
Try to get another 100+ tie clips under another group leader and send those in with the hopes that we can get two teams of 8 into the event.

Now splitting the tie clips will be a double edged sword.  We will have a chance to get more FA in the event... But a chance that we split our tie clips so much that no one gets in... I don't know it's a tough call
Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips

Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips
Post by: Strod on August 24, 2007, 01:47:08 am
I say, we keep farming with one group.

The reason I say that is because it's a rare thing to get 16 members on now days, with school etc etc. If we keep farming and pick an 8 man team, we can prolly make it close to 200 tie clips for one team. Which I think will better secure our chances of being number 1.
Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips
Post by: NoCry on August 24, 2007, 03:16:29 am
would rather one team as opposed to no teams. Although tempting for 2 mission teams given we have what we believe to be a high number of clips it would, as broin says, be a nightmare to split our numbers.

The winning captain (broin) could then appeal to Drisena's better nature and get 2 FA teams...

Finally there is the obvious problem of who would participate in any mission - good luck with that one mr broin et al!
Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips
Post by: Adad on August 24, 2007, 03:24:01 am
Sorrows makes a good point.  Even if we got 2 teams in, what are the odds 16 of us would be on at the right time for the event/mission/whatever?
Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips
Post by: Manic Velocity on August 24, 2007, 10:34:51 am
I agree with Sorrows.  Keep it to one group.  That way, we have a better chance of winning the event, regardless of which FA members get to participate in this little mission with Ghost.

As long as FA gets the overall kudos, I'm a happy camper.
Title: Contest for the Agent's tie clips
Post by: Broin on August 24, 2007, 03:50:33 pm
Okay we will keep it to one team... Though let's do shot for that 200 + mark and I will plead our case to Drisena to have more FA members allowed in.  

AS FOR TONIGHT....

I will not be in game until sometime around 9-10 FA time.  Please don't take this as a don't farm night.  If people are in game and around farm the tie clips designate someone to pick them up and get screenies that they can then send to me.

Well something's up.  The Machines had a meeting at Kalt Chemical this evening, org locked and regular 55 patrols.  We took down as many reds as we could and eventually got in, but they had moved downtown.  We followed but the entire building (govt) was locked down.  I can't be sure, but the Mervs may have been allowed access, and the Cyphs.  The Mervs were definately assisting the Machines to kill Zion, and not just for sport.

We were supposed to have a Zion/EPN meet but it hadn't happened at the time I logged off (midnight GMT).  Sorrows is still in though, hopefully he'll get more than I did.

Please have someone in the group... Probably Adad if he is in it since he has done this before.  Collect the tie clips and email them to Drisena in game before the 12:00 PM tonight Mega City Time.  As well as take the screenshots and PM them to her on DN1.

I think we've done great so far but we kind of pettered out this past week, where we could've had about 200 or so we've currently at about 114.

Thank you to all operatives who have sent in Tie Clips.

I can now confirm that the operative team to submit the highest amount of tie clips was Furious Angels, with a final total of 117 Tie Clips.

This has sent a big message back to the Agents that are trying to hunt us down.

Nice job..  :D   To be honest I thought we may be in jeopardy of not placing at the top....  That rocked.  Okay I told Drisena that we were still figuring out who are top 8 were and I think I'll do it by using the screenshots of who put in the most time towards this.  I also made note outside of game when there was more than one team doing it so I got that covered as well.  I am also going to beg of her that we be given a few more slots to include everyone.  

How does that sound to everyone?  Any suggestions you want to send to me just throw them out here or in a PM to me.

sounds good mr broin; pleased that we won. Tricky that brits could not farm quite as much although hope the odd bit i could do did help. Assuming we dont get 2 full teams then would be good if a proper record (screenies and logs etc) could be taken to show all what happened as it were.

In order of those FA operatives who participated most in the System Tie Clip hunt from most to the least is as follows..

Broin
Adad
Anamodiel
ManicVelocity
Dmax
Yotogi
Bellthazor
Sorrows

Those are our top 8

Now for the wierd part is this...

Jeyk
Nocry
Lithium
Da6onet
Woodgrain
Brembo

All of these guys were either exactly the same or 1-2 points away from each other... and only about 9 tie clips seperated these operatives from Sorrows.  Oh I'm gonna have to do some begging that's just to close.

I will send this list off to Drisena tomorrow unless someone wants to suggest a change or has other input.

Maybe those people on the secondary list can be back-ups in case those main operatives on the list cannot be at the event for whatever reason. I somehow get the feeling it's not going to be at the best time.

All of the same, we should try to appeal to Drisena.

I'm really hoping this special event Drisena has planned for us will take place at a reasonable hour.  None of this 2 or 3 in the afternoon jazz.

This is awesome, good work everyone!  I'm honored to have made the list, and am glad I could help.  Please post as soon as we know when our meeting/mission/or reward is to be upon us.  As horrible as it may be, my new job may keep me from attending, so second team needs to still be ready.  I will be there if AT ALL possible, I've never been part of something like this, but if she keeps the limit to 8, dont be too discouraged yet if you're in the 2nd 8...  sorry if im babbling, im tired.

just an idea but drisena did, at the off, state that the 2 highest teams of 8 would do the missions? if so, and on the assumption that FA doubled everyone else is it worth finding out if we could have 2 teams....

Nah, that's too exciting.

It will be a courier mission.  Our team, which managed to take down 117 agents, will be given the important task of delivering a disk to some unknown, unimportant operative.

The disk will be "encrypted", so we won't be able to read what's on it.  Six months from now, it will be revealed in a critical mission that the contents of that disk were actually the access codes to New Zion's mainframe.  The operative that we gave the disk to was actually a Machine spy!

FA will be blamed as the ones who allowed the Machines access to New Zion.  All Machine operatives will be given a special reward token for their efforts in infiltrating New Zion.

The end.  :p

Post by: Broin on September 03, 2007, 04:57:57 pm
Thank you broin.

I sincerely understand that you face a task in listing just 8, when more have helped. The main reason for listing 8 is that I was more than aware that a few factions would be able to have a large quantity of operatives and therefore to be fair on everyone, it had to break down into teams.

After you have listed your 8, please list the other operatives involved, I shall see what can be done, though I ask you not to hold me to anything on that.

HAHA! Our plan is working! I will sell that male piece for exuberant amounts of information and abilities and you will be forced to sell me all of the females for a mediocre price. Our plan is working, Broin.

I don't think gender matters on FX items, since they're technically abilities.  That would be like having a male and female version of Hyperjump.

Sounds like we'll definitely be getting some article of clothing.

I would not mind an enhanced clothing item based on the users loadout (Viral Accuracy 20pts, Viral Damage 30pts...I know i'm wishing but you know)....such as hackers, MA, MKT, etc. I think that would be a great reward.

Well what ever it is we should be happy that we will be the only faction to receive it :D

Does the ZHR still work?  It's a CR1 item, so I figured they must have disabled it after CR2 like they did with Neo's Insight and other such items.  I mean, you can still activate it, but does it still apply the buff?

There have been times when I've let the timer on my ZHR run out, and I haven't noticed much of a difference in my toughness at all.

It adds 10 resistance points to each category versus regular attacks, not specials. Since MKT and Hackers only use specials to damage you, it only really adds 10 resistance points to melee and ballistic regular attacks.

Also remember that resistance plateaus at 200. If you have anything over 200 you're only going to notice a difference if you get debuffed by something like sky high side kick or destroyer.

I got the ZHR and thanks to Manic's generousity I also have the patchers bandana and quicksilver gloves.  Frankly I'm pleased with the reward,  sure it's no "I killed a 117 agents and only got this t-shirt" reward but it has been something I've wanted for a while on this character.  Also, since I'm more of a pvp'er than a rp'er 10% toughness does come in handy.
