Thanks for taking the time I was planning to do one but you beat me too it. Not pointing fingers but it would be nice for the
New players to come into the forum and read this.

I like working on my debt badge but I also prefer to be the one who makes the choice when to work on it.

I also have villains on the following servers Lib, Pin, Vir, Infi, and I have heroes on every server. Shoot me a Global tell and if I can I will assist you.

Peace out,

FBSA Headquaters...

Agent Connors entered the information into the computers, he crossed matched and doubled checked the information given. Less than an hour had passed since he had talked to Javier Santos.

Longbow Agent Mythos, had arrived and after a small bit of jocking and a not so idle threat with a bat on Agent Connors part did other pieces of the puzzle fall into place. He had a complete work up on CI Santos, and passed the information on Commander Jonahs for Longbow to update there records.

Lt Drake arrived and was briefed on all activity which had happened in the last three hours. He studied the picture of Javier Santos, yet another clog in the wheel he was now responsible for. He entered the weapon armory and retrieved the weapon he needed.

Agent Connors began activated the assault team at Drakes request. Then a different call came in from Ernesto, Drake took it on his private line...

There was a double cross in play, a faction of the Family had been attempting to redirect the Military Hardware which was being supplied from this point to the Devils Own. A fire fight had broken out amoung them and at one point the Devils Own had all but secured the the warehouse on the dock until the arrivial of heroes...


Elsewhere at that exact moment...

A trap was being set for the heroes involved in messing up the Families protection racket in Liberty Quay, several empty stores had been burned to the ground and a local fish monger beaten with in an inch of his life and his wife taken hostage. He had been instructed on what to tell them, and failure ment death to his wife and other things....


AND STILL ELSEWHERE...

plans were being set in motion to ensure the destruction of Paragon City, and Commander Jonahs looked over and smiled at his Prissy...


and the world turned colder still on this winter day.

I have been in the middle of reading the forum and trying to figure out how I was mod smacked as it was happening to me while I was still reading the boards.

But I will tell you based on some players inappropriate behavior weather in game or on the board sometimes Mod smacking happens. Sometimes well deserved other time maybe over the top. Things no one wishes to consider when saying anything is this game maybe being played by adults, but there are just as many teens playing and not all of them are allowed to run the streets as has been suggested to me and know about all different subject matter. I would argue the point as not so as this game isn't one of those kill everyone first person shooter etc style game, but a SuperHeroic MMMO.

Lends me to believe a different type of player plays this game and that said they don't always know all the different things that are sometimes talked about. Just food for thought YMWV.

Consider this my Rant so to speak. Mind your manners keep a civil tounge and hope you won't get Mod smacked on the forums, Or petitioned in-game from someone.

Peace out,
Valor

Baker Unit had secured the proto-type and military grade weapons from the Hollows. Santos, Corchado, Duke and Smith expertly drove the two bread trucks across the city under the watchful eye in the sky tracking Javier's movement since the call.


Elsewhere different events had unfolded....

Charlie team lead by Turner had run into a snag in IP...

[ QUOTE ]

Commander Jonahs and the Devils Own departed shortly and each unit went to complete there assigned task.

Javier Santos was assigned to special operations ensuring safe transport of several prototype weapons. While the others were loading and securing the area, Javier took out the black phone and called in a lunch order.

[/ QUOTE ]

Javier Santos looked at the black cellphone for a minute deciding if he was about to get his family killed or not. This was not what he had envisioned or planned and now if he was to believe Prissy/Pandora then It was the only way to save them.

The office was dead quiet In the last 24 hours events had unfolded in the city requiring extensive manpower all departments were hits and skeleton crews had been manning the office. The Op phone line chimed, once, twice, a third time with no answer.

Javier looked about nervously at the others. The supplies were being loaded into the breadtrucks for delivery to the new base. He glanced about again, 7th then 8th... His Family was as good as dead, he thought. He had been setup by Prissy another twisted loyalty test and How many would Jonahs allow him to fail before he met a worse fate then Tino or the Harrier. He resigned to hang up the line...


The coffee cup flew from his hand as Mike scrambled the last few steps across the office and dove for the phone, flipping it open.

"Dammit! Its about time! Where the heck are you we need to get you out Now!"

Javier sighed a small breath of relief Prissy hadn't been lying to him about the phone anyway. He spoke slowly and clearly so as not to be misunderstood.

"I am not who you think I am, She is fine at the moment. She is unable to call you herself, and wished me to call you. This is the FBSA is it not.

Agent Connors heart froze in his chest as he listened to the voice on the line, not only was it not Agent Jenkins, but he knew who he was calling. A Quick "Yes" was all he said. Mike activated the satlink gps and pinpointed the phones location in the Hollows.

Javier breathed slowly. "Your FBSA agents took my wife and kids for safe keeping. I need to know they are safe. Your Agent is playing a dangerous game with a dangerous man. I have been trying to help her. I will try to relay a message to her if you have one, But this wasn't in the original bargin."

Mike jumped at the opening. "Well Yes your family is safe. The original deal has been compromised due to the events which happened in Steel Canyon, so this is the new deal. You do whatever she needs you to do, and you call me back in 6 hours. Do you understand me...."

The Satlink spy camera turned and focused clearing the image further and further, match... Mike smiled and continued...

"Javier Santos."

So he was right, Maria and the girls were safe. He would do what was needed to keep them that way. Javier breathed a sigh of relief. "Listen closely As I don't have much more time..."

Agent Mike Connors recorded and wrote notes getting all the information he could before Javier ended the call....


(And somewhere the Forces of Good prepared to face the Forces of Evil)

Timed passsed... money exchanged hands and deliveries were schedule...

Commander Jonahs and the Devils Own departed shortly and each unit went to complete there assigned task.

Javier Santos was assigned to special operations ensuring safe transport of several prototype weapons. While the others were loading and securing the area, Javier took out the black phone and called in a lunch order.

April Bellante had once again dodged the bullet, fasttalking and showing her remarkable intelligence information. Impressing Don di Gallo and getting herself yet another reprieve from Jonahs.

Now they were standing at the entrance of the base in the Northwest corner it was a hive of activity, and Jonahs frowned. The Mekmen were on patrol and taking care of daily routines. All of them kept acknowledging him as Archon Jonahs. It disturbed him slightly but he dismissed it for the moment someone was toying with him and he would find out who later. Right now he was going to have to finalize plans on a heavily guarded safehouse.

Prissy stayed by his side offering silent support. He looked at her once, while addressing the command staff of his bunker.

She just nodded at him and he continued, he relayed the overall plans of the base fuction and what he was expecting of them. It was concise and to the point he left nothing to misinterpretation...

My vote went to the storyline.

The story is composed of the specific groups - I love choosing specific groups as nemesis for individual characters and working their stories into my character's story, and thus becoming part of the overall City story.

And I too must comment that PvP made the list.... and PvE most surely did not.

Storyline FTW peeps, and Wow I agree PvP on list but No PVE, have to wonder if they worried about all of us PVE players slamming it to make sure they know what content we want them to focus on. PVE 4ever and the Win!

Commander Burkholder, sat at his desk review the contents of several files which he had recieved. Information like this was priceless, and it had been delivered privately. He would of course need to insure its accuracy and truth. His project was behind schedual and that was something he didn't like.

Did Lt Jonahs truly believe he could make himself an Archon, and no one would be the wiser. He thought. He continued flipping through the paperwork there was Helsinger signature. How Jonahs managed that was beyond him. But it was there none the less. He would see if these men truly knew each other or if this was simply Specialist Bellante doing, trying to use an established Archon to once again further her own agenda.

Burkholder called in his aide. "Thomas I need you to schedual a meeting for me tomorrow night 6pm in the base. Let Hess know that I expect Helsinger, Jonahs, and the rest of my command staff to be present."

Sgt Thomas nodded and walked out. In moments messages were sent to all involved about the schedual meeting.

The door closed and Burkholder sat in his chair staring out the window looking at the latest assembly of the Project being assembled. Jonahs would explain himself or would be vaporized in Lava. He sat brooding for the next hour.

Partial Update...

Well One of our local Walmarts, (superwally) got 6 in yesterday, so I was also able to get my hardcopy. It is truly sad that even Division Managers for the Local Walmarts don't appear to have a clue. I was also wondering about our overseas friends. I would be truly interested in knowing how that is being handled.

Peace out,
Valor

Oh I full agree with you. I was just informing everyone what maybe happening since I was speaking to the person in charge of our local Walmarts and this was what I was directly told.

I'm still waiting on the third call back, I figure that one might take sometime as we are dealing with Walmart. But I have not seen it in Palm Beach, or North Broward County. I still think this was poorly excuted, by marketing on the companys part.

Edited to include additional comments.

Ok well Here is a bit of Local News.

I just got off the phone with Walmart Division Manager for our area. She was very nice btw, and did a fast research on the product. From Her understanding the game isn't even suspose to be an in Store item. It is only avaliable on Walmart.com.

She is going to look into it further and call me back she has already made the second call back. I going to say if she is right and thats the case then NCSOFT really needs to make sure whats going on and Let us all know.

I am an instant shopper, I go , I buy, I have. If you were planning on having it only available online at Walmart.com, you should have just sold it from your own site here at NCSOFT.

This is already a bad sistuation which now becomes worse with alll the things I keep reading and hearing about creditcard useage policy and code purchasing problems.

Guys we didn't ask for the sandwich, you offered it and then it was unavailable or only available in crumb size, we need to get everyone on the same page or Jack will be answering questions about this at GENCON SOL CAL, and maybe answering them anyway.

Peace out

Elsewhere...

Across the City of Paragon, Steel Canyon was still undergoing repairs, victims of the attack by the Council were still being treated.

Longbow, FEMA, DCI, FBSA, National Guard and MetaForces had been mobilized, and for once the Councils presence was clearly not noticable.

Lt Gary Drake left the Whitmore after speaking with several heroes. Now he was heading to the hospital, he had several more heroes to check up on and one of them had something he needed.

He stood outside of the hospital room, an uninvited guest to a major event in anyones life. His thoughts reflected on his own life briefly, he pushed it aside and waited for the right moment.

Lt Drake continued watching what was going on. There were several heroes involved in these events, some of them from the begining. As the Chaplain finished the service and the groups began to break up some, he entered and walked over to the heroes known as Sol-Ar, and Steele Magnolia.

"Congratulations to the both of you. I have some paperwork which I picked up, no need for red tape to continue to get in the way of your family's happiness."

He handed several papers to the newlyweds, shaking Sol-Ar hand and giving Steele Magnolia a kiss on the cheek. He deliberately didn't speak to American Valor or Vision 2020, just nodding to each in turn with the 'I'm not pleased' look on his face, before he returned back to Steele Magnolia and whispered something to her.

They spoke tersely for several moments. When it was time for him to depart he left with a small cartridge.

"Thank you, Steele Magnolia, once again Congratulation."

Lt Drake looked back to see American Valor speaking quickly with Vision 2020. He should have run them both in they were up to more then a wedding, as was the Dark Harrier who was there with his girlfriend. He had only left them a short while ago, But he too had other things to do and no time. There was a madman on the loose, who needed to be stopped. Gary sighed, he didn't trust anyone else to do it.

Lt Drake walked to the nearest Drone and activated the port system and in a Flash he was gone...

Ok not knowing the powers thisis how it would work:

/macro wdf "$$powexec_name power C$$powexec_name power B$$powexec_name power A"

The first power in the chain is the last power you want activated, the last power in the chain is the first power to activate. hense the lettering c-b-a.

I hope this helps. Also look up some of the advance binds guides in the forum they will explain multi binds like this alot better.

Peace out and remember to be a hero!

Valor

ok it worked had fun using it, different question is the dollar signs in the correct place? Shouldn't thay be in fronnt of the powexecabort so it would read this way?

/bind H "$$powexecabort$$say Here and get up $target $$powexecauto resurrect$$powexecname recall friend"

ok thanks guys again.

Valor

ok quick question trying to have two clickable commands in one bind will it work? tp and rez are the clickables in question.

Thanks in advance for all the hard work guys.


Here is my fixed bind: using powexec auto on second command.

/bind H "say Here and get up $target $$powexec_auto resurrect$$powexec_name recall friend"

I won't be able to test it till I get home later but can some one tell me if this is right, or better if it even works.

Peace out and bring out the big red Ball to Hami raids...

The subsequent series of events happened in almost slow motion, as she would recount later.

Jonahs stared at Tino while Don di Gallo spoke. He knew Tino was going to go for the gun, he just needed a push to do it. He smirked and let the taunt come silently from his eyes.

Santos shifted his position on the stairs to his left bringing up his rifle. The red bead appeared on Lil Tino’s forehead before Tino even finished moving.

Lil Tino was oblivious to everything else as he stared into Jonahs eyes. It was there, The Taunt, and he went for it. The laser pistol cleared leather.

The moment it did, Jonahs snatched Lil Tino’s hand with the drawn laser pistol and crushed it before anyone else could move, mangling both hand and weapon into a deformed mass and removing the offending appendage from the wrist with a deft twist and pinch in a blink of an eye. A sarcastic martial arts enthusiast might have titled the move 'Striking Cobra Working Bread Dough'.

The lump of bloody biscuit plopped to the floor. Time resumed. The room drew a collective breath. The Devil's Own watched to see where the chips would fall.

The immediate pain didn't register in his drug-induced mind, so Lil Tino still followed through with the planned action, still trying to shoot Jonahs. The slow realization came to Tino that not only his gun but also his hand was missing. Tino collapsed to his knees staring at the mangled mass of flesh that was his hand and clutching at the raw stump in complete horror with the remaining hand, no sound escaping his lips.

And Pandora knew then, that her partner was lost. She felt a stab of pity for the mobster's son, but it fell distant beyond the demand of what she now had to do. Humanity could come later, if there was going to be one. For her or any of them. Jonahs was in control. And Prissy moved to keep her place at his side.

"As courtesy for our guest, Jonahs..." she lashed out with a sarcastic quip and an arc of green healing energy from an outstretched palm "The Don's son's life upon the floor doth bleed, to cease it now, as I will so mote it be." With a flourishing gesture the arc of green energy flared and snapped with a surge, fluorescing the area around her figure like a strobe light, then vanished as suddenly as it appeared. "A gift. One last chance for Tino to still grow up to be half the man his Old Man is..."

Don Di Gallo watched in amazement at the events that transpired. His own son had drawn a weapon at a Bosses meeting and was suffering the price of that mistake. How many times had he had someone killed for those types of transgressions? It was the drugs, the booze, he thought he was invincible. If it had been anyone else he would have ordered him to be killed. A hard lesson learned and the answer to the question of whom was he dealing with. He looked at Prissy with a slight head nod as he spoke.

"Archon Jonahs, please forgive my son's transgressions and thank you for the gift of his life. But I believe we have business to conduct as my men take him away."

April Bellante had not believed the stories she had read, things she had discovered, she had begun to think Jonahs was nothing more then a simple thug with a brash swagger and reputation. Slowly, it dawned in her mind just what kind of mistakes she had been making. She had seen the look in his eyes before. It was there now, and she knew that she was next.

The Capos waited for the signal, they hadn't even gone for weapons as this started, and it had been inconceivable that one of their own would go for a weapon first. From the angle no one could even be sure that Lil Tino wasn't making a play for his father. Now they waited for the order to take care of him.

Don di Gallo gave the order to take Tino. Vinny and Anthony moved in unison they figured they were just as dead as Tino. That didn't matter now, doing their job they picked him up and carried the shocked Tino out of the club and to the limo.

Jonahs smiled. The Don was a smart man – they could do business. The smile turned to a grin as he sat down and pulled out a piece of paper. It listed: Ordnance, weapons, the latest SOTA available of all types, and more importantly things he would have in stock.

"I need as much of this as you have, you can include any Crey, Horn, or military-grade prototypes as well." Jonahs’ predatory smile returned.

For a while they discussed business... and the world turned a bit colder it seemed...

Pandora dressed quickly, there was no time for further thought and certainly none for emotion. Jonahs wasn’t going to idle, he was a man of action. Jumpsuit, gunbelt, contents of her purse hastily scooped up and dumped into it… the two items she was most concerned about, the surveillance disk and a black plastic card… yes, both were still there.

Jonahs was already heading out the door. He didn't need time to spruce up, not like Pandora did. No time for hair, or to polish Prissy’s painted image and freshen perfume. Her long hair was a mess from the bed, so two pencils from the table served as improvised hairsticks as she knotted it up into a bun. She still had to run to catch up to him, the heels of her boots hard upon the floor. Reaching him slowed and
held position a few steps behind.

She met Santos’ eyes as they passed, turning her head to hold his gaze for an extra moment, trying to communicate and more than a little upset, even angry that he was still there. She didn’t have long to compose her face, to restore Prissy’s signature smirk laced with sexual arrogance and malice.

Santos met her gaze, if he had any emotional reaction to her he didn't show them in his face. She had several bills stuck in her hair and on the back of her neck. He reached over and pulled the bills off.

“Your money is showing, Chica.”

He then placed the bills in her hand, keeping the eye contact as he spoke. “I plan on picking up those sandwiches 'personally', but for now there's food downstairs.” The comment and attitude spoke more than volume. Pandora could tell he believed her at some level, but that hadn't stopped him from passing judgment upon her.

Santos' words and actions had the effect of a verbal slap in the face upon her. On one end of the spectrum, the humiliation and shame she felt was phenomenal. The only decent human being in this entire mess had declared her the [censored] of Babylon. And she was. On the other, it was the final spur she needed. She accepted the money with a signature Prissy smirk and stuffed it deep into her cleavage.

"Well then, Mr. Holier Than Thou, don't drag your feet about it. You're on the clock.” And it's ticking, she thought.

Downstairs, April Bellante had lost no time in going to accompany the Don. She had escorted him to a table a bit off to the side, making small talk. He was a man of power and men of power were vain. He enjoyed the decoration that hung to his arm, it was something he was accustomed to.

Vinnie brought Lil Tino over to where the Don was sitting. Don de Gallo frowned, his son was a mess; blood on the front of his shirt, he was drunk and high. His eyes left his son to fall upon each of the men assigned to protect him, they obviously were not capable of the task assigned.

April looked up at the top of the stairs as she heard movement and nodded to the Don as Jonahs appeared on the landing, followed by Prissy and Santos.

Showtime.

Jonahs was feeling quite powerful. With a side glance at Prissy he stepped off the edge, casually landing with a loud thud a story and a half below, fully absorbing the impact into the solid mass of his body with a blatant smile.

Taking his cue, Prissy followed suit. Jonahs extended his arms and caught her with a grin letting her slide down against the length of his body until her heels met the floor with a soft click and she was standing with him.

Showtime indeed.

The effect upon the Capos was not missed by the Don. His men had faced many a super, and they knew they were watching one now.

Lil Tino’s hand had slipped inside his jacket pocket where he now gripped his pistol. He had been humiliated by these two. He saw the look of scorn and despise his father had given him, he would make this garbage pay, he would show them all. This Jonahs was a dead man walking.

Santos walked pausing midway down the stairs. He kept his distance for tactical advantage, his rifle positioned midway down the stairs waiting for him. The Devil’s Own had already zoned the entire room should a firefight break out. The training they had received from Commander Jonahs had been paying off. This once ragtag band of misfits was a well-oiled machine ready for action.

This set up of the room too did not go unnoticed by the Don. Nor did the seating location which Specialist Bellante had chosen for him which actually removed him from direct line of fire.

Jonahs frowned as he approached the table, Specialist Bellante had changed attire and affixed herself to Don di Gallo as well. Her table would have given the Don's men tactical advantage if Jonahs himself wasn't bulletproof. She was useless, and becoming a burden, she had already given him all the information he needed, so she had very
little value to him, if any left at all. He would deal with her
later, he thought.

"Don di Gallo, what brings this unexpected visit? I hope it is business," Jonahs said.

"Archon Jonahs. Yes, it is business, threefold in nature. I had heard there was an incident involving members of my family. Upon arriving here I see that that is true. I also was told that you wish to conduct business and in this case I felt it prudent that we talk about such business ourselves."

Jonahs smirked at the mention of Archon, and then formed a sly smile at Apri’s stunned _expression. So he had received yet another promotion, or people believed him to be an Archon, all the better he thought.

Don di Gallo paused, sizing up Jonahs, trying to read the man standing before him before continuing.

Jonahs looked at Lil Tino, still smirking, and nodded at both comments.

And through arrogant and malevolent eyes Prissy watched them all.
