Popular Post Dr_Mayus Posted July 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Have you ever thought to yourself "Oh boy, Summer is over and now we can go back to school?" No? Well too bad because I needed a theme for this Event So as some of you may know I became intrigued by platting the entire Alphabet and if you look at the A-Z club a lot of other people did too. So I thought it would be a fun event to take that idea in a new direction . Before we get to the actual event let us look at the brief history of how the Alphabet first came about It all started in... Oh fine, let's just get to the Event ? What is it? So as the title says it is the PSNP Spelling Bee. What you need to do is plat games and spell words with the first letter of the title. There will be a prize for every contestant that can spell a 3-letter, 4-letter or 5+-letter word. For example if you choose to spell the word MATCH you might plat these games. Mortal Kombat Assassins Creed 2 Teslagrad Catherine Heavy Rain When is it? To tie in with North American school start (I have been informed that other countries start at all sorts of crazy times) the event is going to run from August 12th - September 30th. You mentioned Prizes? Yes, the uber-talented @Kristycism has offered to help moderate this event as well as come up with some amazing Site Badges for the winners...I have seen the prototypes and they are fantastic . There will be 3 levels of badges depending on if you spell a 3, 4 or 5+ letter word. There will also be a Bonus Badge You can only earn 1 normal badge as they will be the same badge just Bronze, Silver and Gold. Sweet cream on an Ice Cream Sandwich...Bonus Badge? Well...I can tell you are excited about this Bonus Badge. Well I decided to be super self indulgent and asked Kristy to come up with a bonus badge if anyone chooses to spell MAYUS as their 5 letter word So I haven't seen a prototype for this one yet but I asked if we can get a Trini-Bee of Green badge for anyone that chooses to go for that. Rules Well this is a 'back to school' event so I guess we should have some rules. 1. No cheating/hacking/save manipulating...come on people this one is obvious. 2. We go by the spelling of games on PSNP. If PSNP calls a game The Walking Dead it is a T game not a W game. 3. We will only be using English Words found in the Oxford Dictionary...that being said I will also allow the following words Plat, Plats and PSNP. 4. If you want to spell a word that uses the same letter twice...you have to plat 2 games with that letter (so for PSNP you would need 2 P games). 5. Only games you plat after Aug. 13th and before Sept. 30th will count. It doesn't what percentage you are at prior to the 13th...you just need to earn the plat for it to count. 6. You don't have to list out all your games now. In fact we will only update your games once you plat a game but feel free to talk about what you are playing down below COMPLETED WORDS 4 Letter Words angelgrievous - MOTH Marvel's Spider-Man Old Man's Journey Trine 3: The Artifacts of PowerHer Majesty's SPIFFING Lorajet MEND Midnight Deluxe Energy Cycle Nightmares from the Deep: Davy Jones Dying: Reborn 5 Letter Words Aeir_ GILDS God of War InFamous Second Son Life is Strange Driveclub Stories: The Path of Destinies Br1ste -BUTTERS Batman Arkham Asylum Until Dawn Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker Eekeemoo: Splinters of Dark Shard Ratchet and Clank Shantae and the Pirate's Curse Cassylvania - BEEFILY Burly Men at Sea Ether One Everbody's Gone to Rapture Fear Effect Sedna Icey Lili: Child of Geos Yomawari: Midnight Shadows Crimson Idol - ORIGIN Owlboy Riddled Corpses EX It's Quiz Time Guacamelee! 2 Icey Need for Speed: Rivals Dead By Noon - HABIT Heavy Rain Assassin's Creed Syndicate Borderlands 2 InkSplosion Tales from the Borderlands DeepEyes7 - POUTED Persona 5 One Piece: Burning Blood Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Titanfall 2 Everybody's Gone To The Rapture Demon Gaze Global Edition DoctorDrPepper - LIBIDO LEGO Jurassic World InkSplosion (Vita)Batman: The Enemy WithinInkSplosion (PS4)Donut County Old Man's Journey Dragon-Archon - BRACT Batman Ratchet & Clank ApotheonCyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses OnlineTales from the Borderlands DragonQuest238 - NEEDLED NIGHTMARES FROM THE DEEP 3: DAVY JONES Enigmatis 3: The Shadow of Karkhala Eventide 3: Legacy of Legends Dragon Quest Builders LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Everybody's Gone To The Rapture Deponia Evil_Joker88 - BRAGS Bloodborne Rage Albedo: Eyes From Outer Space God of War III Spiral Splatters Grifteskymfning - PLAYSTATION Puss in Boots Life is Strange: Before the Storm A Rose in the Twilight Yasai Ninja Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time The Assembly Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchidrion The Long Beach Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs Oceanhorn Monster of Uncharted Seas NieR Automata Han_The_Dragon - PENDRAGONS Persona 4: Dancing All Night Earth's Dawn N.E.R.O.

Masamune Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 That's an interesting idea... 2 questions though: Can games that we already have started count, or do they have to be started after we enter? Do the games have to be earned in order (using your example of "MATCH": Mortal Kombat first, followed by Assassin's Creed, etc.)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceCoresDad Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'm into this! I have the same question as Masamune though. Do games we've already platinumed count, or do we have to get them during the challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm sure they wouldn't let you use games you already have the plat for (if so, most people would already be done). I was referring to games that are like 80% done or something (in my case, Mugen Souls). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to put that in the rules but I assumed that was standard for these events. I will add in a new rule now. But to clarify if you are sitting at 99% done a game and plat it after the 13th that is cool with me. Also I don't care about 100% in a game...just the plat. As for #2, no you can plat what ever you want whenever you want. You may be spelling a word and realize you can't plat an O game in time and switch to a whole new word. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few subtle references to Celceta in Dana, but that's it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the stories connected in any way, or is it like Final Fantasy or something? The only games directly connected to each other are Ys 1 and 2. The game's have common things like sharing the same world and same main protagonist, recurring characters but overall each entry can be played on it's own. And having played nearly all of them (only missing 5 and 6) I would say you can play them in any order. 22 minutes ago, Dr_Mayus said: OK if you plat enough games in 6 weeks to spell that word I will seriously give you 100$ I guess this would only be possible if I would buy all stacks of all ezpz games, which ain't my style. 22 minutes ago, Dr_Mayus said: Sorry about #1.

Might go for the following then: Sundered Owlboy NieR Automata All already started but I'm roughly at the beginning of each of them. Won't have enough time to do the bonus tier as the only Y-games I have are Ys Origin and Ys: Lacrimosa of Dana and both are time-sinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
