AdventCloud7 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) In the same sprit as The New York Times "On This Day" trivia http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/on-this-day/'>link, those birthday fun facts which pique our curiosity, or even Guess Who? (except you're guessing with history), presenting a new historical perspective on your platinums! Object of the Game: Earn a (platinum) trophy, legitimately! Determine whether or not your platinum trophy shares a day with a notable event in history. (See rules below for more details) Match the notable date of your choice with the month and day (MM/DD) of when you earned the platinum. Collect as many platinums on notable dates as you can. (Which is also your reward). RULES: Post Format When posting, please use either of the following formats: Format 1: (Example) Oct 26 Mask and Stripes Forever Collect every bronze, silver, and gold trophy. #2,843 26th Oct 2014 3:13:46 AM Oct 26, 2000 Sony releases the PlayStation 2 (NA release) Format 2: (Example) October Oct 21 Trophy of Gaia Unlock all God of War® II Trophies #2,183 21st Oct 2013 6:47:11 PM Oct 21, 1980 The Philadelphia Phillies win their 1st World Series in franchise history. Oct 26 Mask and Stripes Forever Collect every bronze, silver, and gold trophy. #2,843 26th Oct 2014 3:13:46 AM Oct 26, 2000 Sony releases the PlayStation 2 (NA release). MORE RULES: Notable Event 1 platinum trophy and 1 notable event per post (Format 1 only) Cannot be a personal event. Must have been deemed "significant" enough to have been observed and recorded by the world! Must comply with the Gregorian Calendar. Refrain from using duplicate notable events. Some examples of notable events include: Historical moments, sports championships (college, pro), scientific discoveries, celebrity births/deaths, national tragedies, pop culture phenomena, and more! Use some good judgement, okay? Game Pieces This game applies only to Platinum trophies (bronze, silver and gold are not welcome!)Let's share some history, folks! ©2016 AdventCloud7 Edited February 29, 2016 by AdventCloud7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdventCloud7 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Really? You've copywritten this? Really? Just wanted to make it look like an authentic game. Hence, the ESRB rating in the OP as well. Duh! Besides, it would be pretty careless of me not to include some form of a date in a topic so date-specific. I guess I'll start. I earned "The Legends of War" plat today. A pregnant teenager was shot on the bus on the way to school. http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/a-pregnant-teenager-is-shot-while-riding-the-bus-to-school See, everybody? We learn something new everyday. And what are the chances of getting shot on leap day, while pregnant, while riding a bus? No pining for days gone by here.

Dragon-Archon Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Someone already beat you to it http://psnprofiles.com/forums/topic/35409-the-platinum-leap-once-every-4-year-event/. Edit: nevermind, I misunderstood. Thought this was specifically for February 29. Edited February 29, 2016 by Dragon-Archon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
