I can't figure out how to attack. Is there something that I am missing?

That depends, whose side are you on?

Aliens

i know i made a twitter just for this, bah!

 

[TraumaHound]

I'm still unclear: Can one only Tweet for a point once per attack session or does every AvP-related Tweet during an attack phase earn one a point?

EDIT: Guess I'll see when the leaderboard is updated. Posted quite a few Tweets during this last attack phase just to see.

Once per attack session. The twitter points will be tallied once or twice a day, so be patient on those.

Also, everyone make sure to update your profile with your Twitter account, otherwise our script won't know to assign you points for the Tweets you make.

Cool, thanks for the clarification. Still, it's fun to write little Predator quotes from the battelfield, even if I only got credit for one of them.

Hey, how do I see my points? Am I the one at the very bottom of my race's leaderboard? because there's no name next to it and it only says "1". I'm sure this sounds like a stupid question, and I feel kind of stupid for asking it.

This is what finally convinced me to make a Twitter. Come on, Aliens aren't that far behind, we can still pull it off. Can't stop the perfect species.

Well apparently people are bigger fans of dreadlocks and meatbags than the creatures responsible for the perfect horror and action movies (Alien and Aliens, respectively).
I am honestly surprised by how many people are choosing Predator.

 

[n9philim]

Yeah, pretty sad. Just get a bunch of your friends to join. Even if they just do the facebook thing, it's still an extra 5 points. We'd just need about 200 of those to pull ahead... lolol. I've gotten 3 to join so far...

Edit: lol, added an extra zero up there, obviously. BUT DO GET 200 PEOPLE.

You were cloaked. I fixed the leaderboard sensors to account for that.

 

[Kitsume]

Man i could go for a 360 but right now im in 6th place i need to pull all nighters to catch p and dammit put on the coffee because thats what im gonna do! ^_^

 

[n9philim]

I see that some people are posting multiple tweets on their attacks... this doesn't add to your score, right? Oh, and I posted a tweet that had the right link, etc., but this one hasn't showed up on the #AVPbattle section as far as I can tell. Does that mean it won't be counted, and if I repost on the off chance that there was some glitch, will I be penalized for the double post?

 

[Retodon8]

I found the answers to my questions now. It turns out I was right assuming it might be me not being much of a Facebook user. I noticed I can filter "AvP and Fans", "Just AvP", or "Just Fans", and the middle one was active. Picking one of the others showed me a bunch of names. I added my own.

we need to follow Twitter to find out when the fights are!?

You don't actually need to follow, you don't need a Twitter account, you can simply check this page [https://twitter.com/TheEscapistMag] manually every now and again. You just won't get the optional, second point, because you do need a Twitter account to tweet.

Personally I don't feel like tweeting that often about this. Of course I'm busy enough at work to miss most of the attack waves in the first place. No matter, I already won the Aliens badge. (Not eligible for anything else.)

I can't figure out how to attack. Is there something that I am missing?

You just need to wait until the big "Attack" button appears on The Escapist's AvP page [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/avp/], along with a countdown timer. If they're not there, wait a while and visit the page again. Attack before the timer runs out. (After attacking the button turns into a "Tweet" button.) Of course it's more efficient to check the announcements on the Twitter page than refreshing the AvP page the entire time.

My God, aliens are getting curb stomped by the predators. I thought that the Predators would be more popular (they can cloak and have guns that shoot energy) but man...this does not look good for humans or aliens.

 

[Quad08]

Well, I did get this cool Marine Badge...

 

[Nemu]

Goddammit.
I deleted my Twitter account months ago because it's a POS site for attention whores.

NOW I have to make a new one just to play this game. -_-

 

[Spinwhiz]

Just so everyone knows, Marines or Aliens could still overtake the Predators at this time. You just need to find more Aliens and Marines to help!
