In a blatant attempt to bribe people to help us test instancing and the new Olympus zone, we are going to hold a contest to see who can conquer it first.

Starting right now and lasting for the next 12 hours, I will give 1 Pax Levitas blueprint to the first squad that kills Hephaestus, the first squad that kills Poseidon, the first squad that kills Ares, and the first squad that kills Zeus on the test server. (4 prizes in total.) This is a very rare drop (1/1000) for a tech 21 freighter, and they will be given on live after the next live patch.

In addition, I will give 1 imperial seal to every player who I or another admin see's kill one of the bosses (the player with the recorded kill), even if the 4 main prizes have already been given out.

I'll be monitoring test throughout the day and hanging out there or on IRC, so just get my attention or any other admin who is on to witness a kill if you are making a serious attempt.

Make sure an admin is there to witness the kills if you want credit!

By demand from players, I will extend the contest to last 24 hours instead of 12 hours, with the caveat that I have to go to be in 12 hours, so if you get a kill after I'm already asleep and can't witness it, you should screenshot it and log out immediately and not do anything else on test with that character so that the kill will be preserved in the temporary log of that character (we don't have DB logs running on test.)

Also note that test will probably crash a lot so getting the boss down to .5 health and then it crashing doesn't count At least it will hopefully won't crash on live

Congrats to squad "Bringin UZ to Olympus" for killing Pretender Poseidon.

Since there are still two bosses not yet defeated, I will extend the contest for the last 2 BP's until someone can kill Hephaestus and Zeus. Just make sure someone is around to witness if you're getting close to winning.

Congratulations to "Deviljin's Kickass Squad" for defeating Zeus.
