Hello PuppetGuardians! As many of you know, we got three new awesome staff members. CloudStrife, wero, and Rivers! If you see them anytime, be sure to congratulate them. The previous staff members will also be leaving the team. It's been an awesome year guys. Lots of fun memories and events. Thanks everyone! Now, I'm sure many of you heard that I'll be hosting one more event with some goodie prizes! I've planned an End of Summer - Fashion event!!! When: Tuesday, August 23rd @ 6 PM EST www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=End+of+Summer+Fashion+Event&iso=20110823T18&p1=198Where: We'll be meeting in T4's Portal How to enter/participate: Before August 23rd, you must create a summer - themed outfit. How it looks is completely up to you. The best outfits, that displays the summer theme the best, will win. The new staff members will help judge with me in our own private chat. We will be judging on a scale of 1/10. 10 being, the player has showed what they believe summer is about. What summer IS. 1 being, they have no idea what they did. (Winter outfit? >;o) There will also be a giveaway at the END of the fashion event. This way, players will have a chance to atleast make the giveaway. I will assign everyone I see, a number and use a random number generator. Prizes: I squeezed out some scratchcards out of Zorba's beard. But, you'll have to wait after the end of the event to know what they are. The 3 scratch cards are not in the international version as of YET. 1st Place - Picks first 2nd Place - Picks Second Giveaway - Last one to pick BONUS: You can have a bigger chance at winning (more points) if you decide to cosplay it. (Meaning: make an actual outfit of your summer outfit). I will have a point system as a grading rubric for what I'm looking for. Extra points = higher chance of winning. (2 points) So if you get a 10/10 - 12/10

It's great the PG is coming back to life again XD But its 6am for me T.T I must be gone by that time or else I'll be late for school. Well anyways, I wish the best of luck for everyone and the new Mods!! Congratulations and thanks Extreme for all your hard work and effort to make this truly unique community closer and better!!

that timing is 6 am for Asia players including players from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Phils afraid u dunno, its 7 am for Japan and its Wednesday, though its still on summer vacation but theres still some players need to work or go to school
ill suggest u to change time, or at least make it happen on weekened and i also know its hard to find a good timing for all players from all over the world, but u should give a try to make it more fair otherwise just dont make any event, especially ur going to give scartch card items as prize, which we can never get those in normal situation. that will be unfair for players who wont be able to join and have their chance to get those items
Good Luck

I felt very happy that we have a new event again!!!!~~ But can you change the time a bit later? because there is 6:00a.m in hong kong. I think it will have more players join if you change the time in 8:00a.m(hong kong timing) Thank you!~

or else just make this event like the one romtu host before ask everyone to post their custome on forum and make a dateline and few words to explain about their idea so the timing problem can be solve easily since this event is just a fashion event, i think its okay to host in this way
anyway, those are just my own opinion, everythings still up to u just dont disappointed asia players, since about half of PG players come from asia or some other place with different time zone which is hard for them to join the event...

actually, the instructions are pretty vague. I read it a few times and still don't know if we are supposed to be there in puppet, or we can just post here, or we just send you the link. From what I read, it seems that we can also post here just that cosplaying it (=being there in puppet) gives you a higher grade.
Btw, I like the part about squeezing scratchcards out of zorba's beard xD. Does zorba has scratchcard pimples on his chin, so that when you squeeze one zit, a scratchcard appears xD I hope my zits can give me scratchcards too xD

Hey guys.
Don't want to leave anyone in the dark here so here are some responses as far I know for this event:
The mods (Rivers, wero, and I) actually agreed to see if the event can be held on a weekend, which would allow more players to make the event. We have asked Extreme if this can be done, but I think he said he's only available during weekdays. We are trying to contact Extreme as soon as possible to see if he can change his mind on this and reconsider holding the event on a weekend. For now, the event is set in stone by Extreme for August 23, 6:00 pm EST.
A lot of events will be held and the unfortunate truth is that not all players will be able to make it. Some players will need to attend functions in real life (e.g.- school, work, extracurricular activities, running errands, etc..). It is difficult to ensure that 100% of all active players can make an event. Therefore, we can't cancel an event if someone or a few players cannot make it because there will always be someone or multiple players who cannot make an event. Hopefully, they can make the next event(s), and perhaps, some accommodations can be made for these players so that they get the chance to participate also.
I guess what Extreme has forgotten to mention is that you don't need to show a picture of you wearing your costume (we are considerate of everyone's privacy). However, if you make/craft a real life replica of your costume with tangible materials, you can score up to an additional 2 points. I believe this is what Extreme meant by "cosplaying", but we are trying to contact him to absolutely clarify this (he seems to be real busy lately...).

not just "someone" or "a few " players cant make it as far as now, players from Taiwan and HongKong all cant join cuz of that timing if im the only one who wont be able to join cuz of some reason i can accpet that, but the truth is --- all Taiwan and HongKong players wont be able to join. also, the number of Taiwan n HongKong player are almost the 50% of PG's population though some of us dont show up often recently but they are still playing
if extreme can only host event at that timing then just cancel it, or just make the prize like a holy weapon or maybe a gem...etc since scartch card items is really rare cuz well never have chance to get those, only can win those from event dont think u guys should just give out those that easy especially there are "many" players wont be able to join at that timing and just because hes busy doing something then he will have to abandon most asia players ah...
and btw this is not Extreme's event, since the prize comes from Zorba (scartch card items) it should be fair to everyone or else ask Extreme to offer prize himself, then im fine with it even if i cant join

Kanzo no disrespect but you need to stop complaining, there have been events were people from american like myself havent been able to go to because its been early in the morning. and yes it is extrmes event hes the one holding it. it dosent matter if he gives prizes out or not if hes the one main person doing most of the work for the event then it is his. If you want my honest opinion Kanzo i think your just mad because you cant go to event because of school. which means no scratch card for you but when they held event for Asian region players did you complain? no you didnt. the only diffrence is when you guys had event we didnt complain or cry over it. and im going to stop talking before i say something that will get me banned. Also you cant really expect every single event to catch on your schedule can you?

also this is the english version of puppet guardian, and its timing should probably accommodate those in the usa not only because IT IS english PG but otherwise because most of the currency going into this game is most likely from the english community.

im just asking for a fair time that every player can join this event, not just for me others just chose to be silent also, i can join the event but 6am is not a good timing thats all. second, they never host an event that the timing is convenience for asia (taiwan, hongkong) players but inconvenience for ppl live is us or other country
btw i already said its not Extreme's event, since the prize is from Zorba if it is Extreme's event, he should gives prize himself not just ask from Zorba
and if its an english server, ill just quit now and cancel every post on taiwan's blog about PG even if others ask about PG, ill tell them its an eng server, for ppl live in america only do u think thats right ? jrog ? thought u should be more wisely
i start to miss Romtu now

Everyone's opinions are respected here. But, first and foremost, I will warn anyone who comes off strongly accusative or assuming of another player in a degrading sense, so just a heads-up on that as we continue along with the event discussion. To address both aod and Jrog, I don't know if there are any grey areas in defining Puppet Guardian on whether it should be referred to as the English version or the International Version, but I believe the game is considered international. In any case, like I mentioned, everyone's opinions are respected. That being said, Kanzo and many players from Asia who believe in equal odds/fairness to win prizes at any event are allowed to suggest to us a different means to hold an event. As we continue the discussion, remember that although Scratchcard prizes are a key reason for participation for many, don't forget where we came from before they existed. We want this to be fun and memorable for everyone in a good way. ;]

its extremes event kan. and also many players here have had to get up at 6 am for events including myself so yes you guys have had events so stop whining. if you want to go to the event bad enough then get up at 6 am like we did when romtu had event for you guys. if you cant make it to event for some reason then dont complain? there will be more events. And some events will be on your time not ours because liek cloud said its fair. and I agree with him.
