News Archive: Week 32, 2013

Sorry for the news spam, everyone, but I thought this was important enough since people who'd already checked the news wouldn't get a new notification about an edit!

In addition to changing your password and setting up a PIN, if you think you may have been compromised by the phishing sMail, you should run a malware/virus scan on your computer! It seems the phishing website may be able to install malware on your computer!

Please be careful if you receive any out of the ordinary sMails tonight (or ever, really). Someone is going around sending sMails with a phishing link in it posing as a giveaway forum topic (though I would not be surprised if they changed it up some after seeing this news post!). We are taking all the measures we can to keep this from happening and to remove the sMails before you even see them, but be cautious!

If you do click on any links that lead you to a page asking you to input your username and password, your first step should always be to check the URL in your address bar to make sure it is really Subeta! If it is not, do not enter any of your information!

If you think you may have been a victim of this phishing attack, please change your password as soon as possible, and think about setting up a <a href=/preferences.php?act=pin>PIN to protect your account!

The Beanbag Shop has revamped more of their beanbags!

I have to pack up my things and get out of here by tomorrow night, make sure to grab any last pieces you may need from the Token Shop before then!

Sunao Fujimori has won the Pet Spotlight!

In the honor of the escalade's shiny new coat, the Magic Box has gone and updated their escalade elixirs.

Hariette has won the Pet Spotlight!

Were you born to take on all of our challenges, even the most fierce? Are you sworn to keep evil forever at bay by your honor? Our great convention hall is shuddering with war, so we would appreciate it if someone who is kin to both wyrm and mankind would come and triumphantly shout this next challenger back into his mound!

The mother of all challenges is waiting for you in the arena! Show this mad overseer zero sympathy! Hopefully victory doesn't end with total planetary destruction!



Hello, are you still there? The challenger testing initiative would like to thank you for your cooperation in troubleshooting our next battle challenger. This turret seems to be a bit defective, and should be decommissioned immediately. Unfortunately, we don't have any combustible lemons on hand, so you'll need to work out the exact logistics of decommission on your own.

Those of you signed up for the Mantis Super-Soldier Program, follow the yellow line. You'll know when your test begins.

Hungry for another battle challenge? Get your fill with our next challenger, cherry-picked just for this crowd. Are your skills a-maze-ing enough to take down this classic eating machine before he gobbles you up?

There won't be any ghosts to help you, so make sure you stay on your toes!



And it's-a me, your next challenger! Come out of your shell, make your way over to World 8, and show this clown who the real king is (or get some sweet princess vengeance, if that is more your style)!

Well, things are winding down here, and I've finally perfected my last sticker and it's ready in the Token Shop. You guys have really run me dry, but I found some more boxes of the entire collection in my garage earlier. As the convention is clearing this weekend and things are a bit less hectic, I'll have them all available for sale again, so don't fret if you're still missing that last piece!



If you have all of them in your collection, make sure to pick up your achievement at the door! I really hope you'll enjoy this lunchbox, I put it together with some cool souvenirs!

After all this time ping ponging between games, I'm sure you wouldn't mind some other kind of distraction. For our final weekend, EPICon is pleased to announce some arena games! While these games will not provide any EPICon points, each of the themed challengers you can face in the arena have special loot of their own to collect!

Our first arena challenger completely exemplifies retro. Are your skills sharp enough to stick it to the challenger and earn your special prizes? I'm sure you'll love them!

Is it that time already? Today makes the final weekend of EPICon, and our final game release, an extra special blast from the past. No doubt some of you remember the playable demo of Mazes and Mahars that was available at EPICon 2010. Well, EPICon 2013 has another big announcement - unfortunately, production for Mazes and Mahars has been halted indefinitely, and the game likely won't be going into production.

JUST KIDDING! What kind of announcement would that make!? EPICon 2013, in partnership with our sponsor, Magicians of the Mesa, is proud to announce the full release of Mazes and Mahars!

What a way to end this year's convention! Be sure to collect your points from this much-anticipated game, as well as your bonus points from any of our previous games. You can earn 10 EPICon points for playing a single game of Mazes and Mahars (that's right, a single game), and an additional 10 bonus points for a win! Even better, for this last weekend you can play any combination of your favorite games to earn those 70 daily points. Knock yourself out!

If you're not too distracted by all of the glitzy foil cards, be sure to spare a vote for fellow con goers in the Cosplay Contest, but make sure you do so before the convention hall closes at midnight!

Once the weekend concludes, we'll be tallying the votes for the contest as well as all the EPICon points that you have collected from our games, and releasing some exciting prizes! Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming announcements.

Saggitarius is the weekend quest! Do those quests for increased prizes and special rewards!

Exhile has won the Pet Spotlight!

As EPICon winds down, let's revisit one of Subeta's older offerings, Mystic Spindles! This game of organization is sure to help us clear out the clutter in our brains after memorizing the rules for so many different games over these last few weeks! If you manage to get the gears of your brain especially well oiled and complete an intermediate, hard or very hard game, there are some bonus points with your name on them!

As always you can earn bonus points for playing any selection of our previously featured games, and the contestants in the Cosplay Contest are counting on you to help get them to the top spot!

Sabriel. has won the Pet Spotlight!

You're gonna heart the newest trunk in the Cash Shop!

If your head's still spinning from the rush of the Ytivan slopes, you might find our next game a bit calmer (though it may be just as hard on your noggin). Our next featured game is yet another that hails from Saherimos and has managed to remain popular over the ages: Saheric Slide!

You can earn an EPICon point for each puzzle you solve, and additional bonus point if that puzzle is 4x4 or harder! Good luck if you're attempting the 6x6; try not to wear out those mosaic pieces (or yourself) if you feel like giving it a shot!

If this puzzle has you stumped, you can still earn points by playing any of our previously featured games! And again, don't forget to vote for your favorites in the cosplay contest!

Diamantes has won the Pet Spotlight!
