Zortel

Right, this month's purchase is:

Tool - AEnima
Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell.
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Soundgarden - Superunknown

That's £30 of CDs, which is more than enough for me for the moment to work through, though I'm still taking suggestions. I've got a few Metallica tracks dotted around from various purchases before, but definitely looking into the four suggested, and will be keeping an eye on here for more ideas in the future. I just hope that some other people get some good music picks out of here too.

I have an urge for music. Heavy, heavy music. Classic albums from the greatest bands of the late 80's, 90's and the early 2000's.

I'm looking to order some great albums from Amazon.co.uk, and am looking for suggestions. Currently on the list I have:

Soundgarden - Superunknown
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
Queen Adreena - Taxidermy.

So please, help a young woman in her time of need by providing her the means to experience some of the greatest albums of the time frame and genres, and I can always look things up on Youtube to get an interest.

"Go and talk to Warzone Liason/Hero Corps/Blahdyblah"

Stop telling me about these people first up to send me over to where they are and then all the way back to say I've spoken with them. At least wait until I have your number, or better yet, tell me and shut up and don't make me see them!

Particularly bad when a bunch of my contacts keep asking me to go see the Siren's Call Rep.

I -don't- want to!

Skulls: Shadow Sisters. Women who have undergone death rituals and emerged with the ability to project waves of shadow (Torrent/Night Fall) and infuse their strikes with the cold grip of death (Shadow Punch)

Outcasts: Female versions of the current members would work fine.

Circle: Hard to tell sometimes under the robes, might just be a patriarchal thing for the mages.

Tsoo: Maybe some female members if Staff Melee ever gets added? Or some form of wise sage women who can apply buffs to the ink tattoos of fellow Tsoo.

Nemesis Army: Likely patriarchal, but I'd love some Ladies of Steam.

Trolls: We have female Destroyers, so some female trolls might be nice.

Crey: Already equal opportunity villains.

Rikti: Hard to tell under the armour, we know some are though.

The Warriors: A weirdly greek inspired gang -WITHOUT- the Amazon warrior myth appearing? Get thee some Cimeorian inspired BS/Shield ladies!

Sky Raiders: Likely patriarchal, former military unit and all.

Arachnos: Female soldiers please? We have the models!

Family: I can see some of the women of the Family standing up to defend their fellows. Pistols and psychics maybe?

Malta/KoA: Come together at times, so I guess that's fine both ways.

Freakshow: We have clamour and Doc Buzzsaw, let's get some more anarchistic ladies going. A missed opportunity for Super Stunners.

PPD (Both Versions): A distinct lack of female officers in the field. ONly a few NPCs/Victims.

The way I see it, as demonstrated by 4 characters:

Hero:

Rushmore:
Rushmore tries to be a good hero. He is patriotic, but when it comes to America he is more for the people than the laws. He knows that sometimes you have to work against them in the interests of the people. If he happened to catch someone stealing bread to feed their family, he'd likely tell them that they shouldn't have to resort to that, and he'd buy the bread out of his own pocket for them rather than arresting them while chatting to them, finding out if there were any suggestions he could make to help them get back on their feet, and pointing people in the right direction.

The Law, for Rushmore, is a thing of government that you should try your best to stick to and to believe in, but that the spirit of the law should be stuck to, rather than the letter, and that it is more important to rehabilitate than to punish, to get criminals to make amends with their victims and to work on repaying them.

He believes in the tenants the constitution was founded on, and strives to help the people make America better.

Vigilante:

Fear Trigger:
When Olivia Vano's mother was killed due to Family politics for having an affair, the young psychic and granddaughter of Don Vano had the rush of feelings from her mother's dying moments burned into her mind forever. She has seen the excesses of organized crime, the cruelty and disregard for human life, and the spreading of poison for profit.

She has also seen the failings of the justice system, of people through money, power or force getting away with murder. Literally. It sickened her, and she stepped forth to stop it.

After all, who'd expect Family to hunt Family?

As Fear Trigger, Olivia seeks to rid the city, and the world of organized crime. Not by the law of the land and the courts, but by the law of the gun. For all the suffering and pain and fear they have caused, she delivers it ten-fold on them. Using her psychic powers to intimidate, terrorize and gain information by painful force for her next targets, she backs this up with her guns.

When Fear Trigger enters a Family operation, it's very, very unlikely that anyone other than her and their victims will walk out alive. To kill this creature, you have to eradicate it all, new heads will rise up after all.

Mercy was her mother's name. There is no mercy any more, only death for those she has felt done wrong.

Rogue:

Jan Boa:
Jan Boa has scruples. Only some, but scruples none the less. When it comes to getting money and resources, these things will be the counterweight. She'll take many jobs, but will refuse some outright. Anything that threatens to throw off the balance of the world is bad for long term business. Anything that hurts worker morale is bad for business.

And if something is bad for business? It has to go. Whether a job turned down, or a quick murder to cut off a source of trouble, Boa Personnel Services will do it.

They look after their own, and their friends. If they've taken a job, they'll do it with a few exceptions. Mislead them, go back on the contract, and it's hell to pay.

Villain:
((This is where I fall down, as I currently have none. Whoops. Basically, they're in it for themselves and their ideals, and damn whatever else anyone wants. Be it power, the world, or just a corner of it, these people will stop at nothing except maybe their own personal code to get it. They may think of themselves as good, or necessary evil, but when they get to work, others best fear. The danger with them comes from the varying forms villainy can take, from the urbane manipulator to the psychotic destroyer, and the gamut in between.))

That's a signed from me.

Borked for me here too.

One character in Brickstown can't be logged in, it just freezes the character select screen, and on a client restart says he is still logging out.

Another can be logged in, but gets constant mapserver connection issues.

Please let Ex Machina be okay... please let Ex Machina be okay, please let Ex Machina be okay, please let Ex Machina be okay.

*rocks back and forth*

Bees. My God.

I give this five legs up, and wish to play the set now, with either Pain Domination or Poison as a secondary.

An under-level spawn ruined a Synapse TF for us, with no way to progress.

I'd be for such a thing.

We are right and we are good, we'll give people what they should!

Like invading their homeland, destroying their clean water facilities and making them reliant on charity that will not be quickly forthcoming or easily distributed, leading to death and disease of many, including children, babies and the elderly.

Gawd bless you 'saviours'.
