TrueAchievements Viral Month 2012

TrueAchievements Viral Month 2012

It's back and even germier!

Written by Matrarch on 24 September 12 at 17:06

Good Afternoon/Evening TrueAchievements community!

Those of you who have been around the site a little while may recall that, last year, we ran a little event called "Viral Month", the purpose of which was to help your fellow gamer get those sometimes tricky-to-acquire viral achievements.

Well, many of you have asked, and yes, we are running Viral Month once again! It'll be going throughout the month of October, and we've put in a lot of work to make the event just as successful as it was last time, as well as streamlining the process to make registration simple as possible.

Here's Community Events Team Manager Chad and Jessie to tell you all about it:

Chad and Jessie said:Hello fellow TA’ers,

You’ve been asking for it and it is my pleasure to announce Viral Month 2012. For those of you that don’t remember, Viral Month is a month long community event aimed at spreading Viral based achievements. Throughout the entire month of October the Community Events Team will be working hard, setting up sessions based off of the infected hosts available times, so we all can earn these Viral Achievements.

While browsing through the list, you may have noticed we have stretched our definition of viral for this event. In addition to what was included last year, this year we are including achievements that can be shared similar to a viral achievement, if you have a host who has met specific requirements and/or friends you on LIVE; for example
Bejeweled Blitz LIVE Popularity Tycoon The Popularity Tycoon achievement in Bejeweled Blitz LIVE worth 77 pointsFriendscore is all your friends' scores added up. You've hit 1 million all-time! (Classic/Twist)
If a host has earned 1 million points in either Twist or Classic by themselves, they can share this achievement just by adding people to their LIVE friends list.

Do you have germs you’d like to spread? Please register to host and we’ll start filling up the Community Event Sessions calendar with Viral Sessions. Remember the registration page can be edited and managed by you at any time. If you want to earn virals from our generous session hosts, please join the sessions we'll be creating on the Community Event Sessions calendar. If you’ve gained a Viral Achievement during the month, why not spread it forward and let’s infect as many TA’ers in October as possible.

Viral Month starts October 1st and runs all day, every day through October 31st. Clear your schedules, add your needed virals to your boost request list, stock up on your preferred method of protection, and let’s start spreading these Viral Achievements.

I joined TrueAchievements for a few one-off sessions when I was completing Gears of War 2, but I stayed because of the last Viral Month event. Glad to be a part of this one, too.
System of a Dom - So, what happens it I don't log on after 24 hours with an Xbone? Do they send 'The boys' around to sort me out?!

This is a great idea; time to look through my achievements and see which ones I can, erm, infect people with.

I only have one missing viral that I know of (which I'll try to pickup this month). I added quiet a bit of availability to the chart, hopefully I have a few that I can share with people.

Registered in Firefox, the columns for the dates didn't quite match the times on the left, so hopefully I picked the time I meant to choose (7-8p CDT).

Going back in to edit my times has all of them shifted 6 hours earlier. I happen to be in central. So it looks like the data is stored in GMT, but doesn't apply my timezone when editing my registered times.

Some of the games listed on the hub don't seem to have any viral achievements...
Yes, I know I am.

imaidiot19 said:Some of the games listed on the hub don't seem to have any viral achievements...Read the original post. The site is including some games that don't have virals but still have "special host" requirements.

While browsing through the list, you may have noticed we have stretched our definition of viral for this event. In addition to what was included last year, this year we are including achievements that can be shared similar to a viral achievement, if you have a host who has met specific requirements and/or friends you on LIVE...
