:siren: The Great Goon Giveaway Part Four :siren:

You may have come to A Shutup Wesley Christmas and you may have even made it to The Great Goon Giveaway Part Deux, or even The Great Goon Giveaway Part Three but chances are you haven't even heard of any of those events and are in fact a disgusting space poor, wallowing in poverty. In any case, I'm pleased to invite you to our holiday party, conveniently scheduled on Saturday, December 19th at 3pm PST (23:00GMT). This should make it the afternoon for the US, evening for Europe, and some hosed up time Sunday morning for Australia (lol get rekt you aussie fucks.) This year's party includes 75 lobi/lockbox/promo ships, 25 plasmonic leeches, and 4,800 superior upgrade techs. If you can't make the party, there are forum events that will be judged before the party starts, so you've got plenty of time to make an entry and if you win, you have a chance to claim your prize from the pool before anyone else!

To answer trivia questions and yell obscenities at other party goers use the channel: "WesleyChristmas"
All events and trivia questions will be announced via the alternate channel "WesleyAnnounce"

Join them both now and make them different colors so you can easily pick out announcements!

Check our mirror thread in the official forums here

Featured Events Include:
  1. Forum Events
  2. Where's Wesley
  3. Shuttle PvP
  4. Trivia
  5. Costume Contests

Wesleys never fail to delight. I can't make it to the event but you can bet your arses I'll be delivering some premium fanfic and screenshot content.

And this awful pubbie.

Yes, yes, she ties up prisoners and abuses them, sometimes sexually, but those Guantanamo Bay comparisons are totally uncalled for.

I live in awful aussie land, so I submit my entry for Starship Barbies.

Aegis shields are kind of cheating for looking rad, but my tor'kaht/ vorkang kitbash looks pretty cool in any light.

MREs - They're whats for breakfast, lunch AND dinner !
No notice change in today's patch:

code:
The maximum amount of Campaign XP a player may earn within a 20 hour period (daily) has been adjusted to 10,000 per Campaign.
    This amount includes the Daily Campaign XP Bonus.
    All other Admiralty rewards remain unaffected by this change, and can continue to be earned after the 10,000 Campaign XP is reached.
I've already finished both campaigns so this is :shrug: for me, but are people really blowing through them faster than Cryptic intended ? (Wouldn't surprise me at all)

Yeah the entire system is crazy profitable if you have a couple of good ships, why they give a poo poo about that particular thing I don't know since it's finite but meh, as long as they don't kill it like doffing I'm cool with whatever.

Yeah they probably wanted it to take a month or two and didn't realize it would take less than a week with a good roster.

Yeah, I blew through UFP in only a week or so. About two for the KDF side of it and that was mainly lack of interest.

Didn't need to use Aegis, managed to make the colour scheme metallic, woops. Did a few colour schemes but Gold/Purple was the best looking of them all.

forum mod told him "Cheer up, mr. Grinch."

he responded:

an irresistible compulsion to act like this posted:

Hey, I'm not the one calling other people silly names. It sounds like you are the one that needs to cheer up


like half the poo poo this poor guy posts are like that.

It's some kind of tic or compulsion.

There are lots of Nbreeki clones running around these days. The official term coined for a group of breekis gathering in one place is a "beard" after five of us wound up on Risa.

I'm really looking forward to the Star Trek Online/Mad Max crossover.

Another interesting challenge would be to do a write-up of the events (what they were, how they transpired and who won), something that could be referenced in the future.
