    I think the whole point is they don't want to "invent" a new con by themselves, and prefet to piggy-back (Empulse did use that term) on existing cons.

    Too bad, I was planning to take a week off work in late October and spend a few days in CA - go to HeroCon, drop by to see Cimarron...

    Oh well.... I'm going to GenCon this year, so if I'm lucky I might bump into some of you there.

    Let's see... "solo-friendly server", "got-a-puma-as-a-mascot server", sure...

    But also...

    We used to have "New Player Welcoming Night, then we started that whole Mentor Project thing, so we're a "newbie-friendly" server.

    We have our own "unofficial" internet radio station in http://kjsr.net.

    We have our cliques like any other servers, but we tend to "close ranks" pretty quickly when one of us gets slandered / gets hurt / is leaving, etc.

    I've been to local pubs that had the same atmosphere: it is small, not too well-lit, it has its regulars, but anyone coming in from the street will be greeted with raised glasses, a nod or a smile

    That wiki article was written in what might be considered the dark ages of this game and has not been updated in how long???
    Again, I beg to differ. I know that "one member donating $600 to the Cat Tales Zoological Park in Mead, WA." very well, and he did it last November. I cannot vouch for the other parts of that wiki entry, though.

    I got a woman,
    Mean as she can be
    I got a woman,
    Mean as she can be
    Sometimes I think
    She's almost mean as me

    A black cat up and died of fright
    'Cause she crossed his path last night
    Oh, I got a woman
    Mean as she can be
    Sometimes I think
    She's almost mean as me

    She kiss so hard, she bruise my lips
    Hurts so good, my heart just flips
    Oh, I got a woman
    Mean as she can be
    Sometimes I think
    She's almost mean as me

    The strangest gal I ever had
    Never happy 'less she's mad
    Oh, I got a woman
    Mean as she can be
    Sometimes I think
    She's almost mean as me

    She makes love without a smile
    Ooh, hot dog that drives me wild
    Oh, I got a woman
    Mean as she can be
    Sometimes I think
    She's almost mean as me
  9. Happy 5th Anniversary, Mean Girls !

    naaah, I'm more like "Confront your fear and die of fright!"

    And my office is in my basement, so I do get to squish the little bastards from time to time.

    My weapon of choice: a tissue box. You grab it by the opening, and BLAM you smack the flat bottom down hard upon them.

    Which means that I frequently have bent-out-of-shape tissue boxes at home...

    I know.

    That's one of the reason I won't get a villain up past the low thirties - I went once to St. Martial, my MM ended up chased by 3 Arachnobots and a couple of Bane Soldiers. Not fun...

    That's also the reason I can't play WoW - critters big as horses, or so I was told.

    <sigh> I thought I was golden when I started playing CoH, a mere 5 months before Issue 6...

    Pick one of the following activities we could run at 8-9PM Eastern tonight:
    OPTION 1
    Lady Grey TF with an all tanker team.
    This will be set at +3 / x8
    - Loot friendly: Defeat everything in sight, no stealthing or TPing to mission objectives, etc. Multiple teams can compete if numbers are sufficient. Level 45+

    OPTION 2
    Mender Silos TF, solo speed competition for bragging rights.
    This will be set at +1 / x2. Level 46+
    - I've personally done this in 51 min. at the old "Rugged" setting (about equivalent to +2 / x3) on my inv/em tanker without really straining. Deaths are expected, use all the inspirations / temporary buffs you want.
    Please indicate your option preference in your reply.
    I would have to go with OPTION 1, because option 2 is out of the question...

    Has anyone seen anything like this before? Know of any solutions?
    Look up this thread here, with a possible solution (post by Mod8)

    Day One

    Humm... interesting (*plunks a quarter into Major T's jar*)...

    Not me: I started in the last week of May 2005, but was still able to get the Celebrant badge

    Maybe we should all wear Hamikinis for the occasion, then ?

    Ah... nope.

    NPWN stood for "NEW PLAYERS' WELCOMING NIGHT", and as such catered to those who had just started the game. Hamidon Raids were waaaaay out of its jurisdiction.

    My highest level villain is at 34 and I'm not planning to level it or any other much higher (for personal reasons). That's why you would see me on a Blue Raid if I could free myself for one (but that's another thread...), but never on a Red Raid.

This isn't the first time I've left for a spell (though it is the first since I started hanging out on the forums), and it probably won't be the last, but I always come back.

    This is just a notification. Nothing sentimental, nothing emotional, nothing personal.

    Ah, Millennium City. A nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there...

    S'okay, D.S., we'll keep you a spot here for when (not if, when...) you return.

    Correct: only some Primary and Secondaries powers are available to color customization, a few others have alternate animations.

    No Power Pools powers or Epic/Patron Pools powers... yet...
  20. Well, I got Real Life interfering again: my sister is back from a few weeks in France, and I'm going to have dinner with her and some friends.

    Best of luck with the Raid !
