Smashing Pumpkins contest

Any Bots that frequent Iacon forums should know how these are run by now...

The Idea is to get 25 points within 2,500 missions (roughly 5 days) from the time of your first claimed mission (for example if your first claimed mission was #2500 you would have to get your 25 points before mission #5000 or start over)

You get 1 point for doing one of the following (only 1 regular point per mission claim)
***NOTE: These objectives must be completed with a Smashing Pumpkin Alt. No other alts can be used to make claims***
    - Top of the Patch - Top scoring pumpkin in mission, at least 3 pumpkins in mission
    - Pumpkin Pie - SL another Pumpkin
    - Cannibalism - perform 3 bites against a pumpkin (doesn't have to be the same pumpkin all 3 times)

Bonus points (each can be claimed once per mission but only if a regular point can be claimed as well)
    +1 - Pumpkin Chunkin' - SL a pumpkin via Bite
    +1 - Pumpkin carving- do damage to every enemy pumpkin in the mission

If you complete the challenge you get a ribbon (much like the stylish ones in my sig) personalized with your score (the number of missions it took you to complete the contest)
Example:

SpecPump.png (3.18 KiB) Viewed 317295 times

And I'll keep a ranked list of everyone who completes in this top post for bragging rights.

Now this only works if lots of people from both sides sign on and use a min 1-3 pumpkins on their teams.
Even if you don't want to compete I'd encourage you to enter into the 'spirit' of the holiday and add a pumpkin or two to your team even if it's only to experience the joy of the Bite mechanic for a while. ;)


Completed:

Wingz in 441 missions
Bun-Bun in 2,089 missions
S.o.L. in 2,298 missions

I don't see why not, especially where there are many missions with only one opposing pumpkin :lol: It's counted in other challenges, so I've been counting it here. Only Bun can clarify for sure, though.

Or at the very least I claim I'm done with this contest.
Done in 2,089... longer than I hoped but still I'll take it since I wasn't sure I'd make it at all!

Now we need more contests for Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc so that I might follow my namesake & become Bun-Bun: Eater of Holidays

Only one mission where Sogmaster met any point criteria, but I believe he accomplished all 5 tasks FWIW.
