Keep in mind the more obscure or difficult to pull off it is, the more we have to give real money to some random idiot.

There will be no switching for this one (or else it would never end) so you'll have to find someone appropriate among the crowd.

To keep the Halloween spirit, I guess we can have a Slutty Classic Movie Monster category. I'm talking actual 1910-1950s Universal monsters and not that Twilight/Underworld crap.

If you're genuinely new, just go Behemoth. "Big smashy guy" is a pretty classic superheroic archetype, and while it's a tank-focused powerset, tank-focused builds tend to be among the strongest in ChampO, and Might powers still do pretty decent damage. Just be sure to take Roomsweeper at 11, as a no-cooldown AoE power is important for leveling. Also, because it's hilarious.

Behemoth is pretty fun! I made a battletoad character and it's hilarious to watch him just beating the poo poo out of everyone. Roomsweeper does an amazing amount of damage for a tank character. Like I can one shot mobs my own level when I got it.

I made a glacier too and she's pretty fun as well. About as tough as the Behemoth but ranged.

Okay people, I need categories and which character is judging for next Saturday within the next 2 days or so.

Also the idea here is that it's stuff you could actually buy as a costume. Slutty Cop, Slutty Nurse, Slutty Muppet, Slutty Grandmother from Napoleon Dynamite etc.

Slutty Sentient Representation of the Number Pi? Not good. Save that for next time we do a dumb category CC.

Are only donators judging? I'd rather judge than try to come up with an actual costume idea.

The idea was that the donator judges their own chosen category.

However, they obviously have the option to pass on judging or choosing (Or even both.) So if a donator would like to pass judging their category on to you, they are welcome (Or if you already donated and don't want to choose, only judge. I can't keep track of everyone's in-game names.) Shaosyant/Allatum said he probably won't be able to make it, so his category is open if that's still the case.

I will pass on judging responsibility for Slutty Muppet if someone from our usual CC gang wants it. I will then cackle with malevolent glee, remaining behind the scenes as a Koch Brothers-level financier and criminal mastermind.

Okay, categories are:
Slutty Classic Movie Monster, judged by jjac
Slutty Cartoon Character, judged by Shr3d
Slutty Hobo, judged by Bluhman
Slutty Mad Science, judged by Kerrzhe
Slutty Muppet, judged by sentrygun

And mine which I haven't decided yet.

Now I just need characters for each of the judges.

Lightning Round works better with a mix, so superspeed isn't necessary.

The idea is that the overwhelming majority of the people who play this game make characters like that (myself included :negative:). apparently that's lost on somebody without a sense of humor, though...


Also: How do I go to the desert instead of canada? After I do the absolutely terrible (and mostly buggy) level 5-7 missions in millenium city, I only have the option to go to Canada.

EDIT: And yes, I am a "gold" player or subscription or whatever I don't know what it's called, but I am paying for the game currently.

If you've only done the 5-7 missions in MC, you're underleveled for the Desert. The Desert Crisis is level 15 (so you'll need to be 12 to get access to it). Apparently it was a low-level option at one point, but not now.

If you're looking for level-appropriate missions for single digits, you have a couple of options:

* Crisis in Canada (which doesn't seem to excite you much), via the helicopter in front of the Super Jet.

* Go to Canada directly via the Super Jet and ignore the crisis, which you could always go back and do later (or not, they don't care).

* Go talk to Kodiak in Westside and beat up the Purple Gang for a while. He'll eventually point you to Chief Surhoff and the extended mission chain in Westside that ends with the Hi Pan showdown.

Yeah, after the tutorial you used to go to either the Desert or Canada and run through that before getting to MC. I haven't run through the new MC intro quests, but considering how much faster one of the crises was than the other (can't remember, I think Canada was the faster one?) everyone always ignored the other crisis on new characters, so only giving players one choice to start off hardly makes much of a difference I'd say.

When is the CC anyways? I'm lazy and never bothered getting a costume together so I can't even be bothered to go to Halloween poo poo on campus so I doubt I'll be busy during it, but I'll probably forget to check in if I don't know when it is.
