I am up to 104 Monstrous Ether, 3 are from Kronos (2 for first time and 1 for the second time) who showed up for Adamaster.
I figure I got 2 the first time kill on Adamaster.
This make 100 Adamaster kills using a variety of solo, group and league making sure I got full rewards each time.
Something is rotten in the state of Dark Astoria.
As someone who has flip a coin more times than anyone should ever have to, I can assure you that each event is it's own and has no bearing on the previous event.

WOW! Last nights' show was amazing! Thank you to all who came out to play! Total prizes won last night was over 1.8 BILLION! Notable winners were "Attraction." with 420 Million AND Freakshow Stunner, who slaughter his was to 400 Million! There were many more winners and fun was had by all!
We are scheduling another show in the later part of July. We will be debuting "Paragon Squares!" and of course "Lets Price a Deal!".

We had a great show last night! You can read about the details here. @thicktruck solved the riddle and was able to make it to the show. The answer was "Dumpster Fire".
I will be putting up another one in the near future. It will be announced which will be a cash prize. You are more than welcome to explore the base and the maze anytime.

I can't seem to find the maze entrance, but it is a really cool base!
Thank you! If you look at the first picture of this post you will see me seating on the fountain edge. If you look to the right you will see a mouse hole. Click there.

The maze was pretty fun, though I had to actually sketch out a map to figure out what I was missing. Not sure what you could do for landmarks that wouldn't be mistaken for clues, besides maybe some more arches? Having vines around the park at the center makes it pretty clear where that is, at least.
Thank you! I will make some changes and see how it goes.

I concur. I think it would be more fun with unique items around the maze so you can see when you've gone around in a circle. It's also hilarious to see that same bloody pot plant again (for example)!

Noted. I will add some markers.
I'm glad I did not make it bigger. The plan was about double it's current size. I even contemplated making it multi-floor.

Hrmph...
I found the start and then the servers reset for maintenance, lol.
Hopefully it's not down for too long.

So, @Akisan was first to answer the maze phrase correctly. In fact it was the only email I received. Akisan did not want to take the spot so I send some inf in exchange. So, that means the spot is still open for the next correct answer.

I tried to send an in-game email, but I have no idea if it works as I cannot locate my sent emails/outbox. Enjoyed doing the maze, but I can't make it Saturday!
I did get an email from Akisan. is that you? It was the correct answer.

I had thought that might happen. If you are the first, I will send you some inf and let the 2nd entry get the spot. How does that sound?

It reminds me of The Adventure Game. I loved that show - at one stage they had a BBC Micro where you drove a little robot into a mouse hole and then you played a maze game on the computer as if you were driving the mouse around a maze.
I have never seen this show before. It did not play in the States that I know of. I have to check it out.
Btw, no one has submitted an answer.

You've heard of the game show happening next Saturday on Excelsior, right? Do you want a guaranteed spot on contestant row? It's easy, well, kinda.
Here is what you have to do:
Go to the Game Show base. (MONTY-27905)
Find the mouse hole to the maze (clue below)
Navigate the maze and find the clues.
Be the first to In-game Email @Monty Haull with the answer!
The clues are really obvious. (There are more than one) The clues will make up some phrase or word. Example: Baseball + screw = Screwball

Not trying to horn in, just being clear, if we've played before would you prefer we not play, just watch next time? I'm guessing yes.
That is a good question. I never thought about repeating players. Full disclosure: I only select the very first player at the start of the game. The rest of the selection is done by Money Mouse.
The first game, we had a small turn out so I think everyone got a shot to bid. I am hoping for a larger crowd this time.
Here is my best response. If you made it on stage during the previous show, you would not necessarily be called up BUT, I do want to add some randomness to the selection so, a repeating player coul be.
I hope my response answers your question.

Only 4 contestants at a time this time seems like an expeditious change. I like it.
Yeah, we felt 6 went a little sluggish.

A week ago we launched our first Game Show inside our base and it was fantastic! Since we received so much positive feedback, we are doing another one! That's right, Saturday, June 8th @ 8:00pm EST. You can check the posting for the last show here!
How does the game work?
At the start of the game, FOUR players will be selected to come to the front of the stage. There, they will be presented with some items in which they must bid on its value. The contestant that bids the closest, without going over, not only wins the items but, gets to come up on stage to potentially win MORE! MINIMUM PRIZE ONSTAGE IS 100 MILLION!
After the player has completed the game onstage, we will call on another player to fill the open spot at the front of the stage.
How do I get called upon to play?
All you have to do is show up in your most outlandish costume you can create. This is not a costume contest but, if you want to be called up to play well, you need to stand out!
There are some simple requests we have for those who decide to join us.
Please turn off all powers and auras.
Please no pets.
Please do not go past the front row unless called upon.
Please do not send tells to the game show staff. We will be REAL busy.
Please have REQUEST chat channel on. We will use this to communicate to you all.
PLEASE HAVE FUN!If you want to voice what you think the contestant should choose, use these emotes:
/e score1
/e score2
/e score3Base passcode is: MONTY-27905 - Follow the sign to STUDIO A1

Will you be updating this post when you do another show? I certainly don't want to miss it. Easier to check this thread every day or few than to try to catch an ad in chat.
I will create a new post for the next show.
Hint: we are planning Saturday, June 8th same time.

Time to go visit Luna.

OMG, I didn't know you were putting up the numbers on the podiums as people bid like that, that's awesome. I'm not spending much time on the forums anymore but feel it's worth coming out of lurk-mode to say this was the most fun couple of hours I've had in CoH for some time, thanks for the fun 😃
Glad you liked it. Adding the numbers was a last minute decision and it worked well. I would like to try having it face the audience. I write down the bids so I don't need to see it.

Game Show on Excelsior! We are doing it again! Saturday, June 8th 8:00pm EST
in General Discussion
Posted
We are still working on the format. Doing the straight up version with contestants, deciding if the answers from the celebrities are right or not is one idea. There is a another idea in discussion which is, having the contestants select a category first. That way the questions may be easier.
