Newb Give Away (in Contests)


Warchild July 25 2005 12:00 PM EDT

Yes thats right I am giving away Newbs....:)

Seriously though I have 4 sets of leather armor to give away to the first 4 newb that can tell me what their favorite part of CB is and why?

In depth explanations are expected (ie put some thought into it.)
If your explanation is not thorough enough I will tell you it needs more and give you 8 hrs to explain further or I will go to the 5th person (or whomever is next in line if more than one does not fully explain)

Newb = anyone whose sign up date is on or after June 10th

Anyone attempting to get these items that is not a newb will be carped

has my contest started an epidemic? Or is everyone just feeling generous?

RareSumo [Lucid Dreams] July 25 2005 12:42 PM EDT

By your date, I'm a newb. Whether I'm going to get carped for it or not, my favorite part of this game is the community.

Warchild July 25 2005 12:53 PM EDT

/me looks at the carp

ok you do meet the requirements I set forward....but I did ask for a favorite part AND a reason why (and i know you can come up with something good)

My favorite part of cb2 is the community. The game play can be a little slow and unfulfilling at times with the lack of story or animation, but the chat and community interactions make the game worth while. There are clans, contests, chat, classifieds etc. That's pretty cool. Plus there's a lot of rivalry. I'm just try to stay above water so I can eventually lay the smack down on some of you higher ups :) . Thanks, anything you send will help. Send to character, Terbilmo

well Starkadhr Gudbrande got one set of leathers and I am still waiting on Sumo to get back to me

until I hear from Sumo however I still have 3 sets to give away

My favorite part of cb2 is the Battle Allocation set-up. A lot of other games will let you gain something every hour, but cb2 let's you gain it every ten minutes. It gets you a lot more hooked on it, and it forces you to play nonstop all day. I was convinced by a friend to play this game. He said it will start off slow, but it started off fast! With 300 or something Battle Allocation to use. Then I got 10/minute, which made me keep coming back for more. And after a little over a week, I can see the results going up very quickly. It doesn't take a long time to get a hang of the battle system, and it's enjoyable. If you're not in a rush to use your BA from 160 in the morning, then you're off trying to win auctions, which is another different story. Thanks for a chance of winning, Hickey is my character if I'm chosen.

Warchild July 26 2005 10:52 AM EDT

And we are now down to two sets left after Hickey's very original yet understandable response

My favorite thing about CB is the other people playing. Everyone is so nice and helpful! CB must have one of the best online communities. Other games, ex. RuneScape have all kinds of idiots who just want to make the game less fun for other players. But CB even has OP's to make sure it stays PG.
That is why I love Carnage Blender!

Warchild July 27 2005 1:57 AM EDT

Welcome to CB, Nozomu

I am sending over your leather set now. Enjoy the community and have fun with the game :)

RareSumo [Lucid Dreams] July 27 2005 4:30 AM EDT

I have no intention of trying to win a leather, btw.

Warchild July 27 2005 6:15 AM EDT

You could still share your reasoning behind citing the community as the bast part of this game though

as a bonus, if you would like, I will send the remaining set to a new player of your choice :)

RareSumo [Lucid Dreams] July 27 2005 10:41 AM EDT

The community is the only reason I ever come here. Actually, I've quit the main, dull game to go play an interesting one, but I'm keeping the account to still go to New Players. Everyone's helpful there, and they answer questions in a mature (sometimes), quick, and kind way. There are a few people that tell you what you want to know, and some that point you to the page where it's at, in most games, you'd be lucky to get either. The people (in New Players, at least) are usually willing to look at your strategy and will help you improve, they give money/starting gear to newbs to help them get on their feet, and since there's a strict PG policy, all of the idiots get strained out, and you're left with some of the nicest and most mature (sometimes..) people. If I could get some kind of support like this in a game that was worth playing (ok, that's not exactly right to say.. I should say a game that holds my interest better) then I'd not only be shocked, but delighted to see a community such as this. I can't speak much for carnage, since they seem a bit more intolerable to questions and such, and thus I've kind of shied away from it, which is fine with me, since I like to help people, anyway.

As far as sending the item to a newb of my choice.. Do me a favor, go to NP, find a newb asking lots of questions, making changes in his or her strategy, and really trying to improve. If you can't find one, send it to one of the ops there and ask them to do it for you, if they wouldn't mind.

I don't really even go in the chat rooms often.
whenever I do I normally get warned or kicked.
guess the admins just don't like me lol...


naw just kidding:
I'm on Linux, and I don't have JAVA installed yet, So I'm here just to play this fantastic game do my bestest, :P And pwnt all the other nubs
(btw I joined July 4rth :D)
What I like about the game most, Is the fact its all text, takes a whole lota skillz that killz, and its also fairly challenging at times, I also personally find it very exiting clicking the drop down list, and hitting fight over and over again.... lolololol

I honestly don't know what I like about it the most, I just got a whole bunch of reasons why I like it...

But my favorite part by far is spending money!!!! I hate saving it up, really hard because I'm always spending money on upgrades, arrows, new weapons, why I like spending it is because it always makes my char more better, and more ownage.

Kthnxbi

P.S Is a score of 51k too high to be considered a nub??? lololol :P

Special J July 29 2005 1:48 PM EDT

Learn to spell, how annoying...half tempted to fine you for writing like that.

ThePwnageStickz July 29 2005 4:26 PM EDT

Who me??? Man I had to use dictionary.com just to write it to pass the spell checker you guys got, and it took me like 25 minutes just to fix all my spelling errors... When it comes to spelling, yes, I'm horrible... But at least I did the best I physically possible, for myself... And for that I should be fined???

Sorry if I'm getting all worked up and your talking to someone else. :P


BTW thnx to dictionary.com no spelling erros yay!!! :)

P.S Dictionary.com found: 1 entry found for errors. yet your spell checker picks it up anyways... ???

BrandonLP July 29 2005 4:32 PM EDT

That's because you still managed to spell "errors" wrong.

ThePwnageStickz July 29 2005 4:36 PM EDT

do'h forgot the R lol!!!!!!

Warchild July 31 2005 3:57 PM EDT

I tell you what Stick, if you can make one post in this thread that is grammatically correct I will send you the set.

Note: grammatically correct includes spelling and does not include any form of leetspeak

boomdogg July 31 2005 11:37 PM EDT

I like the fact that you can enhance weapons yourself. I haven't tried it yet, but it seams to be a bit of a challenge to do it well, and I like challenges. It makes it feel as if the enhancement was "earned" this way.

Obsidian August 4 2005 4:35 PM EDT

my favorite part of CB has to be the mentors/mentee's because then if your a newbie to the game as i am, you can have someone help you, and you can ask questions without getting blown off or ignored as some may do in normal chat. I find its also good to kno thats there is a community behind CB and not just people playing for themselves, if there wasnt a community, then i wouldnt be posting here, cause you wouldnt be giving away items to newbies who need them, so whether i win or not, thanks, cause even if i dont get it someone who needs it will.
