Are multibox contestants allowed, or must all entries be compromised of separate players?

[GM Miss]

No multiboxing please, as there is a set number of people allowed in KW - and we want the spaces to be filled with actual players. Thanks for asking though!

[MetaVileTerror]

Awesome, thank you very much, CR Miss!

 

So . . . who wants to team up?

What server are you on?

[MetaVileTerror]

Server?  The only one.
Homecoming!

 

Sorry, poor joke.

Let's try again.

I'm on the Everlasting Shard.

I've got one person already who is interested in teaming up, and we're waiting for more team members before committing to a theme.

On that day, the Pacific Time will be 1pm (we just switched to Daylight Standard Time), not 2pm as indicated (originally).  Also, Eastern Time (USA) will be 4pm, not 5pm.

 

Unfortunately, I'm working (well, guess it's fortunate, but you know...)

There was some concern raised during our team's discussions for the contest that pop culture tributes would win-by-default.  I just wanted to seek a point of clarity here on that matter.  Since you specifically called out the Code of Conduct (or at least assuming you did, with "CoC" not meaning "Call of Cthulhu" here) . . . am I correct in understanding that the judges will be grading based on originality of the teams' costumes, instead of the teams' abilities to make replicas of The Power Rangers, or Star Wars characters?

Just updated the time. It should've read 10pm UTC, not 9pm UTC (the time in all other timezones was correct).

Correct. Original characters only!

[GM Miss]

See you guys this weekend!

[MetaVileTerror]

Looks like we got our team together on the penultimate evening!  We should be good to go on Everlasting.

 

[GM Miss]

Woohoo, see you guys there!
