Summer.

Always a hot season, perfect for going to the beach or vacation, with the sun always shining and the sky always clear...

But this year, it's going to take some power to warm up.

And that's where you come in! This year, the climate makes a wicked change as temperatures drop below freezing point all across the forum world, and it's up to you to warm things up by generating some massive party power on the forums! Join the wide array of planned games and activities we have lined up throughout the summer months and get nature back in line! For games with prizes that you win, you will gain access to inaccessible frozen areas to get the prizes inside. (a.k.a prize rooms in password-protected boards)

N5S SummerCon 2012: Frozen Summer will begin on June 1 and last all the way to August 31.

There will be more events as our mods get ready, but if you want to organize your own game, feel free to apply in this topic or send a PM directly to me! Enjoy, and make sure a warm atmosphere prevails for the summer!

Theme inspired by events in Pokemon Black/White 2 and Ouendan 2.

I'll sent you the details about mine during this week.

I don't really know what's going on right now... is this something you guys do every year, or so? Cool. ^^ Doubt I'll be involved much, but I'll do my best, I guess? ^^

I will also host N5 Adventure II: Reventurance

Yeah it happens every year and its actually a lot of fun, so you better be involved! :razz:

Ah, I see. ^^ Thank you.

Well, I'm not sure how much I dare to join, but as I said, I'll do my best, I guess. ^^

Yay!!

Use this.

My Pokemon Tournament Click for details.

Updated with Freaky and Pokey's events.

Could you fit in my game or are we all booked?

We're never all booked Egg. PM me.

Hmm, depending on how gifting works with the Humble Bundle I might give away some games from that over the summer... if possible. That'd be pretty sweet.

I'll handle E3 coverage, as always.

Will you be doing a Nintendo 5 Star Survivor? :blush:

N5 Adventures II: Requeventurney will start on the 9th. And I am going to continue changing the subtitle.

The game does not require sign ups or commitment but is best with daily activity from at least two people.

Actual gifts on Summercon!?!?

Awesome.

:orly:

Won't we have a posting contest this year?

Dude it's listed there.

im laik so blind

Wut

This is a wonderful prospect

I mean, the actual Bundle I'm planning on buying, but generally if you beat the average they give you the last Bundle, too, which I already have. So I'd give that away, either in bulk or in bits.

Let me get this sttraight. If I buy this bundle I am actually buying two? What was in the last one?

The last one was...

Jamestown
BIT.TRIP RUNNER
Super Meat Boy
Shank
NightSky HD
Cave Story+
Gratuitous Space Battles

Though Cave Story+ and Gratuitous Space Battles were only if you paid above the average (as with Bastion in this one). About midway through the sale they added the contents of Humble Bundle 3:

Crayon Physics Deluxe
Cogs
Hammerfight
VVVVVV

But this DIDN'T include the two games that you got if you paid above the average (Atom Smasher Zombie and Steel Storm).

So, I'm assuming sometime next week they'll announce that you also get Jamestown, BIT.TRIP RUNNER, Super Meat Boy, Shank, and NightSky HD. But they WON'T add Cave Story or Space Battles. I'm guessing - I'm not 100% sure and of course it's all speculation, but each Bundle so far, other than the first one for obvious reasons, has done the same thing.

Which is why I'm personally waiting and seeing; they give you the games anyways if you paid above the average before announcing, but still. And if they DO, I'll give away the Bundle 4 stuff since I already bought the actual Bundle 4 last year.

I could do like a week or so full of Random Battles consisting of video game related stuff.

^ We could have that as a casual event actually.

Cave Story+ saddens me because less people will play and appreciate the true, artistic Cave Story. There are some things I've been curious about in there though.

I'll consider it, but I may not have enough time.

Nintendo 5 Star Humble Bundle Giveaway!

Just the basic package, unfortunately... but still, four good games for free if you're too cheap and/or lazy to buy it!

I was already thinking of buying it (I have a sudden urge to try Amnesia again) so this is good. Johnny you are god.

N5 Adventures will start tomorrow. GET PUMPED

BODY OF NORC THE ORC READY

Garret shall reincarnate as different race.

N5 Adventures is the text adventure ripoff of MSPA one, not an RP.

AND IT HAS STARTED
ITS SET IN THE FUTURE
IT WILL UPDATE AT LEAST ONCE DAILY

Owh, I remember now.

As a note I might move the Fanfest back a week to July 1st. Depending on my schedule.

My contest may start a little later as well since my exams are still not over and I have a guitar concert near the brginning of July. :3

All my bodies are ready.

You can schedule my game for the 13th onwards. I just have one more poll, and sign ups left. As long as they don't take forever and I easily get 12 members, Friday will work fine.
