    She gives them quite a battle
    All that they can handle
    She'll bruise some
    She'll hurt some too


    ... would go well with "/powexec_name Walk".
  4. We have kind of a funny situation here in Quebec (I don't know if it's the same in the rest of Canada): there was this chain of electronic/appliances stores called "FutureShop", which got bought by BestBuy a few years ago...

    ... but they decided to keep all the stores under the "FutureShop" name open, even when they started to open brand-new Best Buy stores. Even funnier, they would still open new FutureShop stores from time to time (I don't know if they still do).

    So, in some malls (ex. Centre Laval, in Laval near Montreal), you can have 1 FutureShop and 1 Best Buy a few hundred feet from each others'.

    From the few visits I've made to Best Buy stores, they have more or less the same inventory, but their prices are usually a few bucks higher that FutureShop.
  5. Add Kreetch as well - last badge needed for Task Force Commander.

    Now bear with me, this is my 2nd (and last) "nautical disaster" song in this game...

    A captain name of Phillips
    Seekin' shelter from the storm
    Turned us south of Bête Grise Bay
    By way of Keweenaw Point
    But the wind was blowing at such a rate
    We ended up driftin' north
    A wave broke over a knife of rock
    Six Fathom Shoal

    Mackenzie she was cut in half
    The stern she rammed the bow
    The men were caught in metal jaws
    Flames burned out of hell
    Stern kept runnin' all her lights ablaze
    Not one man would be found
    Captain's last transmission read
    32 men down
    32 men down


    (too easy, too easy, I know...)

    My turn (and this is NOT a french song...):

    J'ai changé cent fois de nom,
    j'ai perdu femme et enfants
    mais j'ai tant d'amis;
    j'ai la France entière.

    Un vieil homme dans un grenier
    pour la nuit nous a cachés,
    les Allemands l'ont pris;
    Il est mort sans surprise.

    Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
    through the graves the wind is blowing,
    freedom soon will come;
    then we'll come from the shadows.

    Perhaps, but I'm still working on the details of a level 1, no-travel-power race from AP to FBZ...

    Real nice layout.

    I wish I had half the willpower to commit to a project like that with my own toons...

    To reflect this renewed direction, the New Player Welcoming Night will have to change it's name to something more fitting. No longer will this be an occasional one night stand kind of deal, but a more involved mentoring program.
    Why not simply "New Players Welcoming Committee" ?

    Note: The currently used NPWN global channel will be discarded also, as I remove everyone from it progressively. Protector Vigilance will be used instead if ever there is need for that type of communication. Teamspeak server access will remain available for volunteers.
    SPEAK LOUDER, SONNY, I CAN'T HEAR YA !

    Seriously; I know Protector Vigilance is your baby, but like I've noticed during our last PERC event, a non-dedicated global channel means that messages get lost in the "noise" sometimes. For some events, broadcasting on Vigil (or even JS, I'm not discriminating...) might be a good idea. For some other events, where communication between participants is a MUST, a dedicated channel is needed. Said channel can be created ad-hoc and discarded afterwards, of course...
  17. I got next week off, so I can play till dawn this time...

    To all those of you attending Hero-Con:

    Have a safe trip there and back, and have a wonderful time in sunny San Jose !

    Don't worry, the server and global channels will still be there when you come back...

    I'm pretty sure they will...

    normally they should...

    if all goes well...

    I hope...
