So I figure, why not?
These are some side challenges for Recons who want to have a little fun messing with Strikers' heads. I can't offer prizes, but who knows? Maybe someone will hold some kind of contest or something.
(NOTE: There now is an official contest where Ghret is giving away stuff to people who complete the challenges! If you want to see the prizes and requirements, check Ghret's first post.)
Challenges (A guy in Proto could pull some of these off, but some will require some of the ol' cartoon violence)
DISTRACTINATOR: Keep at least two people from leaving a point for a full minute. In doing so, you're helping your team gain the other points.
DISTRACTINATOR II: Keep at least three people from leaving a point for fifty seconds. Your team will love you for it.
EPIC DISTRACTINATOR: Stay alive at a point while the entire team knows you're around there somewhere (and is trying to get you) for a full forty seconds. This might be hard because your team will just faceroll the other points and be there really fast.
DEATH REAPER: Death-Mark the entire enemy team.
EPIC DEATH REAPER: Death-Mark the entire enemy team, all at once, and then have one guy come in and kill at least three of them.
DECOY RECON: Lure an enemy offensive of two or more players away from a point being capped by a single ally.
RECOY DECON: Lure an enemy offensive of two or more players into a same-size or larger group of allied players, then death-mark them or inflict a status effect on all of them as they are subsequently facerolled.
CONSERVE WATER, DAGNABBIT: In Lockdown: Furnace, prevent five enemy players from using the water fountains in the center.
EPIC CONSERVE WATER, DAGNABBIT: In Lockdown: Furnace, prevent enemy players from using the water fountains in the center for the entire match.
RAGE INDUCING: Kill an enemy player that was capping or attacking a point with a Big Angry Bomb.
EPIC RAGE INDUCING: Kill three enemy players that were capping or attacking the same point with a Big Angry Bomb.
SNIPIN'S A GOOD JOB, MATE: Kill ten enemy players with a Callahan line or Iron Slug line charge attack.
SNIPIN'S AN EPIC JOB, MATE: Kill ten enemy players with a Callahan line or Iron Slug line charge attack without dying in between any of the ten kills.
Again, I can't give any rewards myself, but feel free to try these, and post videos.
(EDIT: Thanks a ton, Ghret. You deserve a Purple Spiral.)
Okay, I'm going to lay down some ground rules.
1) You can be in Tier 1 or Tier 2 Lockdown. Just beware that some Challenges require you to have a specific piece of equipment,
2a) Click me to see Equipment restrictions! Proof must be shown during the match. Preferably in the Locker room.
2b) You must become a Recon as soon as the Match officially begins and remain a recon for the remainder. Anything you do as a non-Recon will be deleted from my mind and not count towards any Challenge completion, as well as be denied as ever happening by the United States Government.
3) You must provide audio-visual evidence (that's a Youtube video to everyone else. Viddler, Dailymotion, Blip, any and all video-hosting sites are good. I might, emphasis on the 'might', accept download-only clips. But it will be better for you, and my paranoia, if you use a video-hosting site.)
3b) Your post must contain the name of the Knight you are playing as (if your forum name and in-game Knight name are different say in the video "Hi. I am [insert Forum Name here]'s alt.") as well as the challenge you have set out to do. This is to help me figure out what the hell I am looking out for and make the judging go just a bit faster.
3c) The video must start from just before match begins (in the lobby with Sullivan) to just after you think you've completed the Challenge you set out to do. Maybe allow a 20-second long buffer before and after the "official" start and end to make sure nothing is lost. Just some friendly advice.
4) I'm only giving out Prizes for the Challenges in this post.
5a) Deadline is TBD. After that Prizes will be given to those who entered each Challenge.
5b) If there was more than one applicant for a Challenge I will summon the spirits of my neighbours ancestors and ask them which was the most awesome in that challenge. That person will receive the Prize.
5c) If there is no applicant for a Challenge, then the Prize will go to Doctorspacebar. Do you want that? Do you want Doctor-bloody-spacebar to take your prizes?! Then get the hell in here and prove your worth!
6) The Judges decision a.k.a. me, the almighty Ghret of Regrets, is final. If I think that the opposing enemy didn't try hard enough to kill you, then tough cookies. You're are disqualified. No-one else may influence my decision, not even me, especially me!
7) Prizes, once decided, are final. Once the deadline ends, whosoever was the winner will get those prizes. Mark my words. Mark them in indelible ink!
Whilst Prizes will not decrease, there is a chance that they may increase. Depends on how my life goes I suppose.
8) Sponsored by Brothers of Eternity. Talk to Autofire if you want to do... stuff. Just talk to Autofire, okay?
NOTE: If you have any questions, about the contest or other, ask in this thread or send a mail to "Ghret" in-game. Once again, that is "Ghret", in-game.
C H A L L E N G E SDISTRACTINATOR: Make 2+ people aware of you at a Control Point. Activate Cloak. Survive until Cloak runs out. Don't get hit. YOU MUST STAY NEAR THE CONTROL POINT FOR THE FULL DURATION OF THE CLOAK.
PRIZE: 1 Iron Lockbox, 20 Confetti, 65 CE, 2 Brandishes, and whatever Crowns and Materials I can scrounge up.
APPLICANTS:
DEATH REAPER: Death-Mark 10 people in the course of the entire match. Ensure they all die with the Mark of Death upon them, by your hand or another's. Any more people who are killed in this manner are simply the gravy on the corpse-pie that will help you win.
REWARD: 1 Iron Lockbox, 20 Confetti, 65 CE, 2 Brandishes, and whatever Crowns and Materials I can scrounge up.
APPLICANTS:
RECOY DECON: Lure one or more enemies into a group of allies and then kill as many of those you have ambushed as you can. The more enemies you can ambush and kill, the better your chances of winning! (Hitting them with statuses and/or Death Marks won't hurt your chances either.)
REWARD: 1 Iron Lockbox, 20 Confetti, 65 CE, 2 Brandishes, and whatever Crowns and Materials I can scrounge up.
APPLICANTS:
EPIC CONSERVE WATER, DAGNABBIT: In Lockdown: Furnace, prevent enemy players from using the water fountains in the center for the entire match.
REWARD: 1 Iron Lockbox, 20 Confetti, 65 CE, 2 Brandishes, and whatever Crowns and Materials I can scrounge up. (Since this is something I consider the hardest, due to the patience required, expect something more to be added to the Rewards.)
APPLICANTS:
EPIC RAGE INDUCING: Kill enemy players that had capped a point and were sitting on it with a Bomb. Do this Three times. With the same Bomb. Induce the Rage! (Bonus if it's the same point/people).
REWARD: 1 Iron Lockbox, 20 Confetti, 65 CE, 2 Brandishes, and whatever Crowns and Materials I can scrounge up.
APPLICANTS:
SNIPIN'S AN EPIC JOB, MATE: Kill five enemy players with a Magnus charge attack without dying in between any of the 5 kills. Giving more than 5 people a 10-tonne ticket to the afterlife is just pudding on the pie-cake that will help you win.
REWARD: 1 Iron Lockbox, 20 Confetti, 65 CE, 2 Brandishes, and whatever Crowns and Materials I can scrounge up.
APPLICANTS:
