  1. In the last few days, I have received cards from:

    Nomme and KidEngineer,

    Cavern and Pax - I've hung the candy cane, and the lil' bootie was delicious... or is it the other way around ?... (just kidding )

    Comrade Hero, by way of Des Moines, Iowa

    Ivansshade and Lillian Victoria - I've enjoyed your "Stateman's Night Before Christmas"

    Thanks, one and all !
  2. Went to the post office this morning to mail all my cards (yeah me!)

    So far, I've received cards (not necessarily in that order) from :
    • Golden Ace (still waiting for the toxicology report)
    • Little Yeti
    • Mentalshock
    • Nylonus
    • Stalemate & Cassiopea
    • Tiggy
    • Zekiran

    Humm.. what's that... a second card from Nylonus ?... let's see...

    o.0

    0.0

    Humm... I now understand why the ladies go "RAWR!" over your cards, Ny...

  6. Unfortunately, I do not plan on renewing my support to the Cat Tales Zoological Park - apart from the receipt, I did not receive any information about Cimarron after that, even if their website is listing (under Adopt An Animal):

    Code:
     Paws and Claws newsletters, discount in the Nature Store and invitations to member only events.
    You receive an adoption certificate that you can proudly display.
    You receive a photo and a personal portfolio of the animal you adopt.
    .. maybe they can't afford postage to Canada...

    Add to this the person who answered my phone call last year was borderline rude... I'm putting my money into another side project this year.

If I can't buy it for him through the ncsoft system, and none of my local stores seem to carry it, what's a legitimate way of buying GR online for him?
    I bought mine thru Amazon.com:

    or you can try EBGames, if you can stand their evil ways...

    As it happens, the entire CoH playerbase got into the proposal as well. There were no disruptions and, more importantly, no jerks.

    "I wondered if one or two people might take a really special moment and trivialize it, but that didn’t happen at all. People got into the spirit of it really quickly and were wonderfully supportive and respectful. Again, another reason why I love our players," said Bianco.
    Huzzah! for our community!

    Ny, if those *really* are your abs in your avatar, I'm sure the ladies will appreciate...

    Ya mean this one (links point to a recently updated post) ?

    To expend on your post:

    Teamsters (from the SG of the same name): TFs and GM hunts.

    Protector Monsters : Giant monsters

    Paragon Watch : Task Forces, Giant Monsters, Badges etc.

    And I like to call Jello Shooters Protector's own Biker Bar... you've been warned...

    EDIT: Drat, StarGeek beat me to it...

    Also for some couples your wilfe or girlfriend will be getting a card, but don't worry guys you will also be mailed one also. Though just not of the same subject matter.
    What would happen if Ny made a 'slight' mistake addressing his cards....

    First off, Welcome Back to the City.

    Upon coming back, I know that much has changed. Can anyone give me a "you have to do this NOW" sort of list for a returning player, or direct me to this info if already available?
    A few of the things that you might have missed:

    - Issue 12: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Issue_12
    Cimerora and the Midnighter's Club
    Soldiers of Arachnos Villain Epic AT
    Changes to the Hollows

    - Issue 13: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Issue_13
    The Day Jobs system
    The Merit Rewards system
    Supergroup base Repricing

    - Issue 14: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Issue_14
    The Mission Architect !

    - Issue 15: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Issue_15
    Nothing much, apart from 2 new TFs and the return of the 5th Column !..

    - Issue 17: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Issue_17
    Re-vamp of the Positron Task Force

    - Issue 18: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Issue_18
    Released to coincide with Going Rogue, it introduces the Alignment system. Even if you don't have GR, all those "Tips" missions means brand-new content.

    If you have questions while in-game, you can always join the Mentor Project's "N P C" global channel (shameless plug, see my sig), we'll be happy to lend a hand.

    Where: Meet in Brickstown near Manti.

    How Many: Need 7 people to start would be great to have all stay to the end, but if we are in short supply of people fillers would be great.

    Requirements: Must be level 30 minimum.

    Other: Would like to do this for speed, but am perfectly willing to run for experience.

    Contact: @Toxic Striker by in game PM or email or post on here.
    Ah the Manticore TF... *shudders*

    One of the first Task Forces I did, a long, long, long, looooong time ago (Super Sidekicking and IOs and Veteran Powers did not exist then, and Jack E. was still in charge...) - the first time took about 4-5 hours, and the second one close to 8 (damn you, Paragon Protectors with your Moments of Glory !!!)...

    I did it again more recently during Kyo's Taskforce Tuesdays, and it "only" took 2 1/2 hours...

    Now get off my lawn !!!
  14. "How do I slot Poison"

    Very carefully - one nick and you're done for !

    Apart from that I don't have a clue. Just a suggestion, maybe also asking in the Mastermind section of the forums ?

    In my case (and Stalemate's, and JJ Knight's, and maybe a few others), the question should be:

    Does the Customs Officer who is going to rip apart your care package and "confiscate" its content has any food allergies ?

  19. OK, it did not turn out as it could have been...

    We'll need to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.
  20. OK, it's the manic-compulsive control freak in me talking, but...
    ... do we have a voice channel on hand to help with the coordination during the event ?

    I humbly submit I have a lil' home server with both Ventrilo 3.0 server and TeamSpeak 3 Server installed (*)
    I think Stalemate also has his own setup; either way is ok with me.




    (*) it also has Teamspeak 2 Server, but that's kinda pointless since I installed TS3...

    Of course, it's almost always detrimental to my weight loss too.

    How did I get here from there?

    Back on track: Saturday morning?
    I can't on Saturday mornings.

    I can do that round of announcement by myself, I just want to select a time where it can reach the most players, hence Friday evening or Saturday evening, or when ?

    Hummm... might not be a bad idea to do another round of announcements either Friday evening or Saturday evening.

    Which one would be best ?
