I thought I'd join for fun and checked the dates. I have a whopping 2 days off from work during that time :grin: Well, not even a fun participation from me.

Good luck for all the runners :thumbup:

I did Mephisto last time and between that and the Mephathon in December I don't think he can drop anything I don't already have. So I'll try the SuperUniques this time. However I may change my mind if no one else signs up for Mephisto, that way I can win a category :grin:

Don't know what I am going to go for, but if my hammerdin gets patted by then I''' probably run Baal with him. Otherwise, I'm gonna run AT with my meteorber

I will be running Baal mostly for exp, but I don't mind if I get some good loot during the process :smug:

I definetely would like to have an option to protect one item...

Re: It's MFO Time - July 2008 signup thread

Wow, lots of activity in the last few hours. To answer some questions:

1.) If you die with a HC character, you may of course put another character at risk. There's no set character to use.

2.) You may run more than one area if you like; however, take a look at the past MFO scores... the top few in each catagory usually do an extrordinary number of runs.

3.) This is the 3rd MFO I'm organizing and I've not used the protect 1 item rule before, nor did jjscud the mfo immediately prior to me taking over, so it's been two years at the least since an MFO had that rule (unless I'm hallucinating?). I'd gladly see a discussion about it in the thread though ... reasons for and against.

4.) Looks like there's enough outcry for teams to make it worthwhile. Since Thyiad added them, I guess she's gonna be the team supervisor ;p

5.) I've gotten four volunteers for area supervisors and I think each of them will do just fine so that's squared away already, thanks for the fast response.

6.) You may run on any players setting you desire. Additionally, you may focus on any eligable target in your catagory. So if you are alvl85 areas you can do any of them or all of them. Additionally, the A5SU catagory is almost always just pindle... very few go and do the others as they are more time consuming and often not worth the bother, IMHO.
 
Re: It's MFO Time - July 2008 signup thread

I am happy to supervise teams as I am expecting zero updates from at least one fledgling team. :D
 
Re: It's MFO Time - July 2008 signup thread

Personally, I like the idea of a protected item... Most people are going to be adding some grailers and it would really stink to have that WF you have been looking for some 3k Pindle runs before the MFO taken from you as soon as you got it. Having one protected item shouldn't hurt the spirit of the MFO I don't think as most people don't take items anyway from what I saw.
 
Re: It's MFO Time - July 2008 signup thread

3.) This is the 3rd MFO I'm organizing and I've not used the protect 1 item rule before, nor did jjscud the mfo immediately prior to me taking over, so it's been two years at the least since an MFO had that rule (unless I'm hallucinating?). I'd gladly see a discussion about it in the thread though ... reasons for and against.

Reasons for: it's a wonderful "wealth tax". i.e. the wealthy usually win and take from the less wealthy. Wealthy here can mean item wealth or time wealth.

Reasons against: It's not fun to give up grailers and Diablo should be played for fun. I sure had fun in a previous MFO when I found a Stormlash in the Meph category but the fun stopped because someone else found a Stormlash and a bit more and decided that the only thing he would take from anyone was my Stormlash. Yes I'm still bitter because I haven't found another. :wine: Yes I also took items in that MFO but felt guilty later. So the translation is for me, MFO does not equal fun without protection in some form.

I would probably participate in Baal if there was some form of protection. My personal opinion is that the MFO prize would be much cooler if you won some interesting item like a personalized prize from the host or something like that. I remember one person that wanted to collect ears from the people that came in 2nd, 3rd, etc and that was pretty clever. I think taking items is a poor prize because there are so many people that play self-found that they wouldn't take anything anyway. Also, as a vanilla player, there's really no reason for me to take something from others except for spite.



 
Re: It's MFO Time - July 2008 signup thread

I agree on protecting an item and for the above reasons.

Most of the SPF are pretty good and do refuse prizes or come up with the ears idea (Naab?). However, I remember the complete .... greed that was once shown by someone now gone from this forum requesting a ridiculous number of good items from those less-well off (five death cleavers or 'lashs IIRC).

+1 for nominating a protected item.

I'm amazed that one item protection was removed, I honestly believed it was still in place.
 
Re: It's MFO Time - July 2008 signup thread

Hmm, I just Mated my sorc, and I don't think Baal could look more inviting...:scratchchin:

WSK2
WSK3

Now, let's see if I can get good enough at Baal running by the 19th...:crazyeyes:

edit: About the item protection...I don't think it would be a bad thing to have. Maybe make it optional to protect one item? I mean, you should be guaranteed something for your efforts at least.

So, I'm all for it. +1 to item protection. Maybe we should start a poll in the thread?

I am stoked for this. I have not made it to 1.12 yet (I'm like two trades away from FTS) but I'll list myself as such since I am going to convert before the MFO.

Now, if I could just find a Shako before the tourney starts....I've found almost 40 other grailers in my quest to get a Shako but can't seem to get Meph to drop one to save my life.

Edit: Dang! I should have looked at who else was participating in level 85 areas. I have my work cut out for me.
 
Having never played a MFO I'm really excited to be joining in on this one, thankfully the summer break has just begun so I'll have a lot of time to dedicate to this, I'd like to run Baal or Pindle for lots of grailers, however I'd like to finish up the rest of the grailers that Mephisto has to offer. I'm missing a few key items from him and I think this would be a good chance to motivate myself for finding them, can't seem to stop running Baal at the moment.

I'll be running with my level 90 Hammerdin, probably because he's my only character that can magic find at Hell at the moment since my semi-recent self-enforced restart. I'd also like to vouch for the item protection addition, as if I do get lucky and find a prized item, I'd be very annoyed to lose it.

Good luck to all the contestants, thanks for organising it Drixx, and good luck to all the Mephisto runners, you'll have your hands full for the coming week. :thumbup:

Edit: I'm not going to risk using the table, as I'm scared of ruining it, if someone could sort it for me, that would be appreciated. I'm using RRM and RWM and am v1.12 Softcore.

Edit 2: Thanks Grisu.
