Additional Info / Must-See Areas of Note: Cross-faction SG base for the Tanks & Brutes of Repeat Offenders, a coalition of crazy COHers since 2005. Built for utility, but with (hopefully) some style and fun to explore. Don't miss the hydroponics lab, the secret submarine bay, and the Jeffries Tube passageway!

I do want to note that two bases have been submitted by their owners, both of which were built by (but not owned by) Easter Bunny (who feels chagrin that his attempts to convince at least one of the base owners not to enter was not successful).  A reminder, these bases are only eligible for the Community Choice award, and as CR and a judge, Easter Bunny will not receive any awards. The Community Choice award is decided on by the community, therefore, even as a judge (who will recuse himself from these projects anyway), Easter Bunny has no control over deciding this award. We set up the rules in the way we did so that base owners who are justifiably proud of their bases, can submit them even if the builder has another base in the competition, or is a judge, because of the many commissioned bases in this game. We feel it's fair that the owners and/or builders who aren't precluded from winning awards are able to win if their base is deserving.

- I haven't added any PVP or RP things, it is solely a Utility Center at the moment (but bases are always a work in progress, right?)

 

 

[MHertz]

Character Name: Wiid Wiilow

Global: @Hertz

Base Name: New Perez Park

Shard: Everlasting

Passcode: NEWPEREZ-23883

Item Count: 3,459

Category for Contest: multi-purpose base under 7K items

Other Associated Contributors: @Mho and @Farad (These are also my accounts, but all 3 accounts worked on base because they are identical triplet plant girls. Should I win, I would hope that all 3 triplets get the badge, to maintain their identical presentation.)

Additional Info/Must-See Areas: This is a reclaimed corner of Perez Park with all of the enemies kicked out. At present, the park is set up for a cherry blossom festival due to take place at the end of April, complete with drinks stations and a place for a DJ.

• Near the entry portal is a large pipe with a teleporter leading down into an old Vahzilok sewer tunnel, which the SG has converted into item storage and teleportation.
• Beneath the central fountain, accessed through a door at the base of the SW side is the cistern, contaminated with old magic by a century of the Circle of Thorns' presence.
• In the NW corner, another sewer pipe leads down to an old Circle of Thorns aqueduct, where the Wild Willow sisters have built their living space (look up after you go through the portal). It is warded against COT Spectral Demons coming back in through the collapsed aqueduct, but there is a security station to monitor for any other intrusions into the park.

There is a secret passage in the dining room... can you find it?  
Off the billiards room and seance room, there is a secret staircase... can you find it?

On the left side of the house on the 2nd floor, there is a secret passage leading to stairs that go down to the vampire crypt...can you find it?
(Our resident vampire likes pinball)
One corner of the basement is haunted (hint: a secret room).
Can you find Dr. Frankenstein's tower? (Note: Dr. Frankenstein recycles!) 
There is a secret cult from Miskatonic University who are trying to summon the ancient gods from an underground chamber.
There is a book burning event in front of the church.
There are angry mobs outside of Dr. Frankenstein's tower... I wonder why they're angry? 

There is a wine cellar with a wine jaccuzi (or is it blood?)
Next to the wine cellar is the Edgar Allen Poe area... A Cask of Amontillado... poor Fornutando is trying to talk his way out of getting sealed in.
Off the basement there are werewolf cages.  I like to BBQ during the full moon (drives 'em nuts!).
Don't miss the Hall of Skulls below the basement.
There is also a Suicide Cliff area close to Dr. Frankenstein's tower. 
NOTE: The 3rd floor and attic are unfinished (I will expand/finish these areas by next Halloween)

Additional Info / Must-See Areas of Note:  In the spoiler below is the story of this base.

 

Spoiler

It is dedicated to all the heroes in Paragon City who have given up their lives to save others. When the body of Statesman was found, a ceremony for his interment was being conducted in celebration of his life. Several thousand patrons attended the funeral, including notable heroes of the Freedom Phalanx. It was just after the eulogy of Positron, that a temporal distortion ripped the cathedral into a timeless realm. Luckily no one was injured, as time stood still here. No one could die, and even the small pond next to the cathedral never ran out of water despite pouring into the abyss. Another side effect of the time distortion was that no one could leave. It was difficult to tell time since the sun never set, they estimated 7 years had already passed by trapped in this realm. 

 

This is when the hero known as Ianna proposed using her ability to create portals. She had already created a few within the cathedral itself, but she could not control the time period, nor could she hold it open long enough for all of the citizens to use it. She realized that with enough energy perhaps she could. She begged with the heroes present to lend her their power to do this, knowing full well what would happen to her. They agreed not knowing of the consequence.

 

As the heroes began transferring power to Ianna, she began glowing brighter and brighter until she became a single point of pure energy. Ianna was able to create permanent one way portals to the correct time period 7 years ago. Everyone rejoiced, profusely thanking the heroes for creating an escape. As the last citizens went home to their loved ones, the heroes began to follow. Just as Positron was about to leave through the portal he realized that Ianna could not share the same fate. Someone had to stay behind to hold the door open, she had become a part of the cathedral itself. He vowed that Ianna would not be left alone.

 

Once on the other side Positron began making a stable portal able to reach the same point in time that the Cathedral was trapped. It was a success. After having explained the situation, the victims of this occurrence returned, and built a monument befitting of Ianna's sacrifice. To this day both heroes, and citizens return to give thanks
