EPICon: Over!



Hello, I'm Titania McGee with the Channel 5 News Team: your BEST source for Subetan news stories!

Well, this is it, folks! The end of EPICon 2010 is drawing near. After several days of shopping, dressing up for EPIContest, and playing this year's most anticipated releases, con-goers are getting ready to take their sore feet back to their respective homes. Representatives of Vega Corporation and Magicians of the Mesa have promised a release da--

Excuse me, everyone. One moment.

What is this? Can't you see I'm in the middle of a broadcast? Can't it wait?

Oh, oh, I see. Thank you!

*ahem!*
This just in, everyone! The management facility of this year's EPICon would like me to tell you that the squabble between and has not gone unnoticed. Much to the contrary, they feel it has become an even larger focal point than the actual planned events. In light of this, they would like me to officially announce the results of the bet.

Based on overall item sales, EPIContest contribution, and the level of participation in the games released at this convention, the winner is…

I've never done anything like this before; it's all so exciting!!

Team Manwar!



This means, Nico, it looks like you're going to have to brush up on your card-shuffling skills. Manwar has a full day of Mazes & Mahars planned for you, buddy!

EPICon management would like to thank not only Nico and Manwar, but also everyone who participated in this battle because sales soared through the roof! They also realize that most people were too busy supporting their causes to actually enjoy the convention, so they've vowed to leave the doors open so people may browse the wares they might have missed. As an added bonus, a special VIP Lounge has been set aside for the winning team to celebrate in luxury.

I've reported on several EPICons in the past, Subeta, and this has without a doubt been the most fun I have ever had. This is Titania McGee signing off. Enjoy your prizes!

I'm only dissapointed in that I wasn't able to participate enough to get so many epic items. I would pay in cash shop credits in order to get some of the items they have up for restock points, but I have almost none. And I SOOO badly want the Duel Wig.

Keith, let me borrow a text book from someone and I'll send a couple of examples to you. We did an entire section on fair proportions with distributing votes/points in a Mathematics in Contemporary Issues class I took. Did you know that depending on the way you decide to count votes and/or points, you can take the exact same data and twist it in at least four different directions? It's really nifty.

Thanks for the great event - definitely one of the best, most diverse and most original in my time on Subeta.

I didn't have too much time to spend earning points, but just about got enough to get a nice selection of swag, too.

I've been on Subeta for over 3 years now and this is the first time I've actually participated in a restock war. I had a BLAST! Thank you Subeta for making this one of the best websites around. The prize shop is teeming with amazing items. I was actually able to get everything I wanted and a few extras for resale. I can't wait for the next restock war!

How come we didnt get a trophy for this restock war? We did the last one. I was really looking forward to earning one.

Aw I wish I didn't have school and a butt-load of homework to deal with so I could have participated more and earned more points. :|

I thought Nico won until I heard about the 'Average Points' thing, and then kind of did a facepalm because I did not know that, I thought it was who got the most points.

Oh well, good job Team Manwar!!!

holy mother of puck the prize shop is hyperventilates fucking AMAZING... I will be in there for hours trying to decide what is a must have now with RS pts vs. later with sP

Subeta, you once again KICK ASS on a fun and rewarding event!! and I am happy that I spent the time I did RSing, totally worth it, although if I knew how awesome the prize selection would be I would have slept less and stocked more, damn!

I can't help being jealous of the VIP lounge access (like someone else said, I also thought the Nico icon was so freaking adorable that I joined his team) but what can you do, congrats Manwar players, you did quite a job of crushing the competition!

congrats also to the cosplay winners!

LOL it's so weird to buy something and be all "where's mah points?!"

Chrissacide - If you're going to say that there is data to go against the method we've used, I'd really appreciate it if you posted it instead of sounding like you're an authority, while not pointing to anything in particular.

Next year: Different Method of Counting Points

I could go into all the ins and outs of why this is a bad way to count points, but I don't really feel like grabbing all my class notes right now. xP Basically, there's a lot of actual mathematical data and psychological data that can be used as an argument against counting the points like you did here. (Yay for liberal arts education? =D )

Regardless, PRIZE SHOP OF EPIC GOODNESS! =D

Congrats Manwarriors! Hopefully next restock war will be a bit more... balanced, for lack of abetter term :S I like the VIP idea too, I think the winning team deserves a few extra perks (but not too many! Greeneyedmonstah)
