You can name the server, too.

I selected Brandywine, since it would give the largest number of players the opportunity to play with or against Sapience. Anyways, the community has until October 20th to raise $5,000. Sapience has raised $2,005 thus far so we have a little over two weeks to raise an additional $2,995. The charity is for the Boston Children's Hospital. Anyways, donate here to help Sapience reach his $5,000 goal and suffer the fate of playing a greenie reaver.

I wish I had a freep on Brandy :P

Can't wait to two shot him.

My champ doesn't hit that hard, sadly.

I hope he dies a thousand times to the worst Freeps in the moors, then gets zerged a thousand more times by 48 Freeps with the ON Buff.
Then just as things start to get better for him (meaning he has survived the last 5min without dying) I hope he gets WL bugged.

Maybe then, something will change.

we should make him fight Dear Leader and Supreme General Yand.

then he can die 1000 times to leithiani, zerged 1000 more by 2 ON jmez/yelk raids, and get WL bugged

then he can go freepside and get bud packed, then he will find slyc solo, and then i'll morally obligated to call the suicide watch hotline

i just lol-ed

If the end result is $5,000 raised for Boston Children's Hospital to help heal sick kids...BRING IT ON! ;)

And so we're clear, I'll be on a standard account. no GM tricks, no immortality, no ability to smite. Exactly the same as any player who rolls up a new Reaver.

is there a date yet for this to happen? And Sapience...i worry i will be unable to heal you as I expect quite a bit of people dusting off their freeps, audacity or not!

Extra Life takes place on Saturday October 20th. The hour will be somtime during the afternoon, exact time TBD.

I will probably, to prevent our engineers from flaying me alive when I come in on Monday, I'll most likely only announce a window (say from 3-5 or 1-4 or something) that I'll be on. Otherwise we risk blowing up the server.

Great to hear that you're very involved with charity, Sapience.
Are you going to play solo the whole time, or join groups?
If it does pull through, please post your War-Tab on this thread after playing!

Perhaps you could coax engineering into dedicating a few extra hardware resources for that period ahead of time, like they do for things like Weatherstock. I know obviously the moors doesn't layer and has strict population caps, but maybe something can be done to beef them up and increase the cap slightly for the event.

I'll play however you guys would like. If some creeps want to make the token effort to keep me alive under the expected onslaught, I'd appreciate it.

And I'll gladly post my 50,000 death wartab when all is done.

This is pretty much a given that it'll happen as we're just about $980 away from the magiv $5,000 mark.

Ooooh. This is very interesting. I might actually log on for this. Although probably my warg so I don't get zerged repeatedly as well :p

I've always told anyone who will listen that LOTRO has the best community in gaming. This underscores that truth even as it inspires. Thank you to everyone who has donated. To the fine fellow who set it up, you sir have my deepest respect and, being a dad myself, my deepest appreciation for caring about the kids so much.

Just to update everyone, $4,551.37 as of now. $449 away!

Oh my I am excited!

Although, I would love for you to postpone this event until early November so I can be online, I would love to lead the creep raid while you're on that greenie reaver, maybe I'll play my war leader and throw you a heal in exchange for not getting another infraction perhaps!

If Evil runs the raid, I am so there!

P.S. Chitter chitter! /\/\^_^/\/\

It's on! We're past $5,000 raised so I'll be rolling up a Reaver on Saturday Oct. 20 at some point during the afternoon (eastern US time) and live streaming it for an hour.

I'll make sure to give full details and links once it's all ready to go.


Thanks for helping out and raising an incredible amount of money to help sick kids.

Big props to everyone that contributed in reaching this worthwhile goal. Just sad I'll have to miss the event as I work Saturdays till 5 p.m. PST. :mad: C'est la vie..

A good idea and hopefully the goal is reached and goes way beyond. We should have more "events" like this, just makes the game that much more interesting and actually beneficial to something other than bein lazy ;)



From an actual game playin perspective though I gotta say it'd prolly be alot better if it was a different weekend (say a week later).

Wit the xpac that monday, that only leave 5 days for freeps to lvl, gear and get to the moors. I'm sure there will be a decent few out there ... I doubt there will be enough freeps to even leave GV steps, since i'm sure creeps will be hungry for action and rdy to go.

I hope i'm wrong, it's for a good cause and hopefully everyone has fun wit it and gets some good fights in, BUT I can really see it being just a giant creep zergfest and a GV camp most of the time. :(

For some reason Sapience ignored my post :(













CAN'T IMAGINE WHY!

This is totally awesome and I'm glad many of us got to contribute to a good cause.

Kinda sketch timing but the important part is the kids in need and not being able to blow Sapience up in a few seconds :P

Seeing this from the community is a nice change of pace from the usual PvMP forums we see day to day :)

#11 -$6,000 - Shed some light on what the Horseshoe does.
interesting...

Those of you who have donated and made specific game requests in exchange for your $50 donation should expect to see tweets and screens start flowing sometime Saturday after 10AM. I won’t play your games in the dead of night so you’lll have a chance to see them.

As a condition of the Ettenmoors challenge, I’ll be playing on the Brandywine server on Saturday October 20th at some point in the afternoon. I’ll post the live feed here for all to link to once I’m in and playing. I’ll spend 1 hour in the Ettenmoors on a freshly minted Reaver for this event. No GM tricks, no Admin invincible.

So there you have it. Everything you need to know up to this point. We're at $12,920 raised. You need $2,080 to make me shave my beard. As the time ticks down, I have less and less worry about needing to buy a razor.

Finally, and most important, let's not forget why I'm willing to do all this stuff. Why I'm willing to be silly and goofy and see myself clean shaven for the first time in what is probably 17 years. Sick Kids.

No one should have to face scary diseases like Cancer, cystic fibrosis, or serious injuries from accidents much less kids. Children's Miracle Network Hospitals like my charity, Boston Children's Hospital takes care of kids suffering from these illnesses and injuries and they do it without regard to the parents ability to pay. It's about helping sick kids be well. Keep that in mind please when you make your donatios.

Thanks.

Just a reminder. Sapience started his 24 gaming marathon last night at midnight EST. If I'm not mistaken, he should be out in your Ettenmoors sometime this afternoon. Freeps, give him hell! :D

Tweet from Sapience: For those who have been waiting... five minutes away from #REAVERCHALLENGE #LOTRO http://yfrog.com/nzwk9sp

It would seem his reaver's name is gonna be Fordakidz.

http://www.twitch.tv/Turbine_Sapience

Been out here over an hour now, I'll stick around a little longer. if you can't make it, check out the live stream link above.

And plesae don't forget to donate! http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?...cipantID=35128

Thanks BW for entertaining me during Sapience's stay on your server. I may have the name somewhat wrong, but thank you Dephailer(sp) for leading, and everyone that formed up and consolidated into the main creep raid. Also thanks to the freeps that formed up and met the challenge of fighting greater numbers just after a major update when not all were at lvl cap or had acquired the new gear. I was just going to stay for 15 minutes as I had a lot of stuff to do today and ended up staying 2 hours. Thanks all for the entertainment and thanks all who have donated to the charity. It was a lot of fun. Hope you guys enjoyed it!

It was my pleasure to lead the charge :). A big thanks to all the freeps/creeps who came out to make it a successful day, as well as those who helped make the charity event a success!
I'm glad you guys had fun out there, I'm positive that almost everyone else had fun as well.
