While you are correct in stating that the base speed of "Flight" has been optimized, it remains inferior to that of "Super Jump". True, one must be prepared to contend with "gravity" as it were, but I feel that be an inconsequential penalty to suffer in exchange for superior speed. Dare I say also that "Flight' could be considered insidiously linear. Indeed, I say even "boring".

Dear Zyal concurs! I shall declare this to be evidence of the superiority of "Super Jump" over all other methods of personal transport!

I am thrilled that we agree, dear Ulli. I too am partial to the consumption of the delicious confection known as "cookies", whether vanquishing naughty hooligans in a simulated environment or simply perusing the expansive wealth of information found within "the internet".

With regards to dear Chaos, I can not be dishonest. My favorite means of personal transport within the City Of Heroes video game is the power known as "Super Jump". I feel that it is the fastest method available, and the most convenient to maneuver as well. Though I must admit, at times I can not elude the dreadful idea that my "toon" appears to be a "dork", leaping about town whilst others with more traditional means of transport are in the vicinity.

Perhaps our efforts to discover a common topic for discussion are unnecessarily strenuous. Let us avail the discussion to the one topic that I am certain we can unanimously agree upon: the fun romp known as City Of Heroes.

Pepsi Man


(very much real)

I am afraid that I possess no knowledge of the heralded sport known as cricket. Certainly attributable to the fact that I am a natural-born American citizen. A much more suitable platform for the display of my considerable knowledge of modern athletic competition would be the fine game of baseball.

I dare say, the Detroit Tigers Professional Baseball Club of The American League have proven a formidable adversary during the regulation period of competition. Perhaps even a bid to participate in post-regulation competition would not be a wholly unreasonable expectation of those fine chaps.

I do so detest appearing as a malcontent, but I must question whether we are participating in actual conversation or merely reveling in endless self-indulgent tomfoolery. It seems there have been no meaningful exchanges ever since the commencement of this endeavor. My intuition assures me that I am not solitary in this notion.

I used to be exclusive to the Protector brand, and to blue side as well. After about six months I finally got the urge to try red side in earnest, and for that I set up shop on Guardian.

WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2000-whatever

I as well must concur that speaking in a verbose manner does prove rather difficult, not exclusively to those who have not mastery of the English language. It would, dare I say, be alarmingly simplistic for one to even "make a buffoon" of one's self in an attempt to appear refined through one's vocabulary.

With regards to dear Early, you are infinitely correct in your rebuttal. I am not a gentleman who allows his pride to prevent him from acknowledging an occasion on which he is hasty in speaking. My deepest and sincerest apologies Early. By all means, carry on with whichever regional representation your blessed heart desires.

Fret not, dear Catsi. Your attempt at contributing to this thread was unexpectedly thorough, yet undoubtedly welcome (imagine a joyous smiley emoticon in this position).

I am most pleased to learn of the participation in this endeavor by my dearest chums Ulli, Early, and Zyal. I am most certain that with our collective effort, we shall ensure this thread be undeniably hilarious indeed. Though, I am a mite troubled by Early's interpretation of a Southern Belle. Were we not lampooning those of a more British origin?

Oh, dear me. I've been waiting ever so patiently for such a venue where we refined gentlemen and ladies could discuss matters in a proper fashion.

Two sided question:

One-What kind of information did it keep track of anyway? I joined the game shortly before they seemed to "go down", and never understood just what they kept track of.
