ON THE 23 WE'RE GIVEN PERMISSION TO TALK LIKE THIS! IN FACT, DON'T JUST MAKE THE MACRO, TYPE EVERYTHING THROUGH SHOUT!

IT'LL BE AWESOME AND YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA HAPPEN ANYWAY! IT ALREADY DOES!

*coughs* anyway, yeah. This will get a little outta hand, but i'm going to help spam the airwaves with shouts... hehe


Sonic 16th Birthday Event:
Come out and wish our favorite blue hedgehog a happy birthday on June 23rd and YOU will get a cool Sonic statue for your room, created by Sonic Team just for this momentous occasion!

This celebration is going to be huge! The GUARDIANS Colony has decorated its halls with statues of Sonic and his closest allies and the entire Gurhal System is going to be partying it up on this special day with our blue buddy! You can join in the fun by wishing Sonic a happy birthday at the designated times from the places selected by the GMs. Everyone who participates by shouting out the message: "Happy Birthday Sonic!" exactly as it appears here (with no quotes) will receive their present once the event is over and we've checked the RSVP list for qualifying attendees!

Party times:
(All times in PST on June 23rd)
10am-12pm
2pm-4pm
6pm-8pm
10pm-12am

Event FAQ:
You have questions, you say? We have answers...

Q: So, where's the party? What should I wear? What do I get for Sonic -- the hedgehog who has everything? And most importantly, how do I get my present? How do I participate in the event?
A: I'm glad you asked! Simply type out the phrase: Happy Birthday Sonic! exactly as it is here during the scheduled times. You can be anywhere in Gurhal, as long as you're logged in.

Q: I only speak in leet; just asking this in puke-a-rific 'normal' text makes me angry!
A: If you say "H4ppy B1r7hd4y S0N1C," you will not get a prize, only a grammar lesson and some weird looks. It must be typed exactly like this: Happy Birthday Sonic!

Q: I'm going to quadruple my prizes! I'll have each one of my characters say Happy Birthday, and I'll do it during every time period! I'm so smart!
A: You are smart, but not smart enough. We're only awarding one prize per account, no matter how many times or how many different characters you create!

Q: I can't attend the event, but I want to wish Sonic the best!
A: Unfortunately, we are only accepting best wishes during the times listed above, but you can always yell "Happy Birthday Sonic!" at random from wherever you are.

That FAQ made me lol a few times.

Oh, BTW, found this out here: http://pso-world.com/article.php?sid=1713&mode=&order=0&thold=0

[F-Gattaca]

The picture doesn't not agree with the text. In the pic, the guy is saying it in all CAPS, but the text say to deliver the message with only the first letters of the words capitalized. So which is it, ST?

Probably doesn't matter though...

[DaRkWoLf30]

I am so attending that, Gib sonic Statue, Thats what everyone has to say XD

[gambit04]

So they are handing out Sonic Statues for this event...

[Sychosis]

wewt

[TetsuyaHikari]

All I can say is....




IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!

[Arika]

what about those people who still have to deal with the billing problem and can't come back ?
SEGA has to give them free ;_; (bc there is my friends in that group)

[Ryoki]

Knuckles is still the best. D:

Sonic acts like a little bitch in the new sonic games. Only the old sonic was cool >.>.

Seriously , ever play Sonic Adventure 2? Remember the space shuttle scene? Bah.

[DonRoyale]

I share my birthday with a fucking hedgehog. And I feel special in doing so.

How am I gonna tell the bitchin' patrygoers? "Oh, sorry, gotta get out of the pool to wish Sonic a happy birthday and that I'm proud to be exactly one year older than him"

"...wut o.O"

[Deja]

I'm just gonna say HEL YEH in front of Sonic

[DurakkenX]

kick sonic in the nuts and maybe he'll start making good games again v.v

[StanleyPain]

I can't believe this is serious. There's not even a PLACE for the event? You're just supposed to run around spamming like an idiot in the hopes one of the 5 GMs that occasionally log in see you?

Sega does some weirds stuff...

[McLaughlin]

I wonder if I can nab a second one...

[DurakkenX]

no...what happens is that after the event they will run a program that will run through all the logs and search for you saying that phrase and then look at the account id number, check it against a list of numbers already recorded and then if it's not already on the list record it... then after that they will run a second program that will will drop the statue in your box if your id is in the list.

It's actually a more efficient way of doing this kind of thing.

[McLaughlin]

What I meant was, I got one from the Demo promo, and I'm wondering if I can get another one by shouting out the phrase.

Does this mean they're monitoring what we're saying for those set times http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[DurakkenX]

it's standard practice to log all public text communications in online games...not many times do they actually look at them, but they do have them and can look back over them.

Give it a shot, it doesn't hurt to try.

*Salutes Garnet_Moon*


Ladies and Gentlemen, we have our mission to clog up the chat lines. We are being allowed to spam one phrase and one phrase onry. We must all ban together and say it so many times that the text breaks free of the speech bubble from enlarging it so much. Oh and its Sonic's birthday and we get a free statue.FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!!!

They are always monitoring what you are saying, that's why you have to tell them universe and time when you report an incident

I believe it is 3 hours later than what it says.

[Tekershee]

Just the sheer scale, imagine all the spamming that must gets logged!

I log on mIRC and my PC crashes when I try to open 950mb notepad files. I really gotta sort that out ;/

I turned mine off in the options menu. but there is a file in the My Documents SEGA files that log all the conversations you and others have online in a given area.They are stored in a file similiar to the files that record the drops you find.

[Merumeru]

I THINK IF WE YELL ENOUGH THE WORDS WILL COME TO US XO

having to accurately mash space for the word to appear properly would be bad planning on Segas part XD
