Popular Post xZoneHunter Posted January 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Okay, i know it's a bit late for a 2015 thread, but just roll with it ok? 2015 gave the birth to the long needed "Community Event, Giveaways and We Plays" subforum. There were a bunch of cool events that brought us as a community closer together. I only mentioned threads made up until 31 dec 2015. New threads such as, "UR Conquerer: XCOM" will be eligable for next years thread. I also limited myself to threads posted in the Community Event, Giveawayds and We Plays subforum. Did i forget to include your favorite event of the year? Don't hesitate to let me know! We Plays Obtaining platinums was for most of us, the reason of joining this community. Although after a while, doing all those hard bosses, multiple playthroughs, stupid collectibles and annoying speedruns can cause a trophy burn-out. Superbuu3 offered a solution in the form of a fun community event called, We Plays, where a group of people try to get the platinum together. 2015 saw a bunch of different We Plays Bioshock Devil May Cry HD Collection (Devil May Cry HD, Devil May Cry HD 2) Okami Resident Evil Revelations 2 Ys: Memories of Celceta Freedom Wars And still running into '16 Bioshock Infinite Devil May Cry 3 HD Tales of Symphonia More info in this thread. Special mentions, We Play Cloudberry Kingdom, Pier Solar, SO4 Epic Quest Platinum Races Whether it is trying to get that one extra trophy level ahead of your friend or trying to get in to the top of your country leaderboard, trophy hunters love competition. Thus came the birth of the Platinum Races! What's more fun than some friendly competition between fellow PSNP members while the whole site votes for the winner. 2015 saw a bunch of different platinum races Wdjat vs Zajac The UR PS3-Way Plat Races Ultra rare plat challenge: Shana vs Wdjat doods Nogg's Challenges Nogg's Challenges #2 Nogg's Challenges #3 Nogg's Challenges Remastered #1 Song Vote PSNP isn't all about trophies. We love some music too! Dav9834 came with the genious idea of heaving a competition where you can vote on your favorite song nominated by fellow members. And boy, did we love it. Song vote is currently up to their Sounds interesting? Check this thread for more info and this one for their latest edition! Trophy Competitions Do you think you've got it in you to be the best of the best? To play easy (or hard) games for a lot of points, even though the cheap Sound Shapes stacking doesn't count? Then these threads are for you! Even though some were created before 2015, these threads always saw a lot of activity during the year.

MesopithecusUK Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Song Vote is my favorite I've been introduced to some incredible music and enjoyed chatting to people involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xZoneHunter Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) I heard that some dude named Parker just gives away money to random people, seems like a pretty cool cat to me... Parker I chose not to include giveaways since they'd topple all the other community events Who doesn't like free stuff?? But don't worry, parker, i'm certain everyone on PSNP knows how cool of a dude you are EDIT: Added it as a special mention, because you guys deserve all the credit you can get for being awesome!

Raitandrul Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) My favourite one are the Song Votes, I have all the trophies for it and Dave has given a bunch of prizes to a lot of people from this community! Personally I got a copy of The Last of US and 1 year premium Other than that I only participated in the Trophy Hunters League and that was loads of fun as well, I have great memories and funny moments from there! Edit:nearly forgot about We Play BioShock infinite, pretty well organized by superbuu3 Edited January 22, 2016 by Raitandrul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'll say the platinum rain days event. I didn't participate in it, but it was a fun event to watch unfold! Thanks Dragon + crew for that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suicide_Tortuga Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 7.8/10 IGN - Too many events I'll admit I like watching The Lottery events, even better when someone gets a hard or terrible game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I've created about 6 events and participated in quite a few: Ys: Memories of Celceta Freedom Wars SO4 Epic Quest Numerous Song Votes A lot of Project Platinums International Day of Non-Violence Halloween Disney & Ninjas Platinum Rain Day Trophy Hunter League 2nd Annual League of Trophy Hunters Holiday Special! PS3 - Nominations PSVITA - Nominations Year End Awards 2015 A-Z Platinum Club (though it seems the OP isn't being updated anymore) The most fun ones were Trophy Hunters League, Plat Rain Day, and Star Ocean's Epic Quest. Did i forget to include your favorite event of the year? Don't hesitate to let me know! You missed the We Play Freedom Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgrave Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The DMC We Plays, since I felt like I helped people with the bosses. The other being Song Vote since I found some good songs through those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xZoneHunter Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 You missed the We Play Freedom Wars. In my defence, i just used the threads listed in Superbuu3's general thread... But i'll add it regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesopithecusUK Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I think maybe Signature of the Month should be included too? Even though it's in the media section, I'd say it still classified as a community event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdRage04 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I really enjoyed the Platinum Rain day event, I think it made everyone that participated a little more motivated than usual. I can't wait to do it again this year! The new wildly popular Project Platinum events have been a huge hit as everyone can see from the forum activity. I think everyone enjoys participating in those because you are not only motivated to get those shiny plats, but you get to participate in the Project Platinum forums and be apart of those leaderboards. Here is to a bunch of awesome new events for 2016!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemmie Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 My favorite event was the Trophy Hunters League. It's a shame I can't participate in it anymore. I also really liked Project Platinum and the 2nd Annual Holiday Special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAFoxAnymore Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The lottery 2 was fun because I got $10 from it...uh, I mean...enjoyed myself? Nah but really it was good to try a game out of my comfort zone and discuss it and stuff. The song vote was good initially too as with the We Plays it kinda gave birth to this massive stream of community events that we have today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zadorvp Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 *pokes the 'alfabet' near the end of the first post* Participated in: A-Z Platinum Club damon's Pier Solar event Dr_Mayus' Year End Awards Event Day: Battle Like A Scurvy Pirate! Event Day: Disney & Ninjas Event Day: Halloween Event Day: International Day of Non-Violence Mission 100% New Year's Eve Platinum Event Platinum Rain Days Project Platinum topics We Play Okami We Play BioShock We Play BioShock Infinite Followed/voted on: Song Vote The Lottery topics I enjoyed all of the events I participated in or followed, but I'd probably have to go with either the Platinum Rain Days or We Play BioShock (sorry, fellow Okami & Infinite players) as the ones I had the most fun with purely participating in. My two Project Platinum topics have also been fun projects, though nobody else knows just how long it took to pick out those actual game quotes (Some I had to struggle with for hours, then some like Tales from the Borderlands had way too many good ones to choose from) for the category names (inspired by the Grim Fandango trophy list) :/ The overall PP thing is also going well enough so far, though it's not without its arguments, delays, "jump the gun" moments, and (on behalf of some users) weird lack of respect for which games people have picked for their PPs (my personal favourite is still the user who came to my Point-and-Click PP, told me to add certain games, and to then add him with a rank based on those newly added games).

xZoneHunter Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 I think maybe Signature of the Month should be included too? Even though it's in the media section, I'd say it still classified as a community event That's true, and i thought about adding but didn't since it wasn't in the Community event section. Regardless i'll add it as a special mention. *pokes the 'alfabet' near the end of the first post* Ups. Ah well it sounds the same anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMON Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Definitely all of the Signatures of the Month, I actually won a good few of them this year. I quite liked the 2015 grand tournament too since I came close to winning that and it was something different from the usual SotM. Also, the main reason is why we don't have SotM in the new community section is because we feel like it does better in the Studio section, most people we get competing in it or voting in it has an interest in graphics if they are likely to look at the Studio in the first place. And it helps keep that section of the forum alive. lol Edited January 22, 2016 by DEMON 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
