Happy Beleated Birthday, T.

I had to get up at 4:39 AM to go to work, so the obvious request would be:

I'm only sleeping by the Beatles...

... if I could listen to KJSR anymore - it looks like all Videotron ISP's users (at least all those I know of) are being blocked

It may be a teeny bit too big to post on the forums, I think there's a maximum size. If you can cut that down a tiny bit, it's perfect and we would be happy to use it!

We need to get the flyer for this up and posted ASAP. June 5th is creeping up on us as we speak!

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know if you already have a flyer, but I made up this one. Feel free to use it, or not...

Edit: If there is any changes to be made, just let me know.

June 5th is ok for me so far (still haven't received my work schedule for June).

[/ QUOTE ]

Just re-reread the thread. If it is Friday June 5th, then I cannot make it - I work till 10 PM EDT (not home before 11PM EDT) Monday-Friday in June.

I got your PM, Kyo.

June 5th is ok for me so far (still haven't received my work schedule for June).

Interesting...

Might be worth it to re-activate my second account and dual-box it...

... but naaaaah, that would feel like cheating

[ QUOTE ]
I think they need to realize that the longer we don't have our own board, the more we'll be creeping around the rest of the forums...

[/ QUOTE ]

Or, as my villain would put it...

MU-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!

Edit: But seriously, if the Protector board does not come back, we have to decide with board we will squat... I vote Pinnacle, they have beer !

[ QUOTE ]
Wait . . . We can save and reproduce costumes that have items that are no longer available?

[/ QUOTE ]

You can save, but you cannot load it back as is - you'll get an error message

There is a button on the load screen to try and fix the error(s), but from my experience it's hit or miss...

Just to be safe if it's an older toon, I save the costume, and try to load it back. if it works, swell, if not, I'll try to identify the pieces that needs to be corrected - sometimes it's just the name of an option that was changed (ex. "Sharp"), and just re-selecting again will do the trick.

[ QUOTE ]
Does this mean no one's interested in this idea?

[/ QUOTE ]

S'not that, but I won't be playing MArcs for a while: there is still some stuff from Issue 11 that I haven't tried yet...

Edit: </rimshot>

So, can we settle on a date and time ?

I suggest Saturday May 9nd, 7:00 PM EDST, which is in not quite a month.

[ QUOTE ]
We need a story, though...hmmm...breaking up a gang war? I know there's a canon mish that lets you do that in perez, but it's so much more fun when the groups are actually fighting. xD

[/ QUOTE ]

Bah, we don't need no stinkin' story... We'll just make it up as we go along, as usual..

Agreed.

- Costume Contest / Bio Contest
- Intro to PVP FFA
- Exploration Badge Runs

As far as volunteers, well, if we can make up a team of 8 for a TF, we should be able to do the same thing for a NPWN - think of it as a very long Numina TF

As soon as we set a date, I can ressurect the flyer I had last time and we can announce it at large, i.e. City Scoop, flier post on the forums, etc.

EDIT: Just a crazy idea: how about a custom-tailored MArc that would showcase some of the low-levels groups (Hellions, Skulls, Clockworks, etc.) ?

Addendum:

1) "City of Heroes Architect Edition" will be released on the 14th according to the Amazon.com webiste.

2) Also according to Amazon.com, it is rated:

"Popular in these categories:
#3 in Video Games > Mac Games > Online
#6 in Video Games > PC Games > Online"

So, like DJ_blu was saying in this thread, "While i expect 'some' of this is due to alot of veterans picking up the box, there will most certainly be a whole new batch of heroes and villains coming SOON™".

Hence the opportunity to do another NPWN.

Since it sounds like I'm talking to myself, I'll wait for someone else's response before commenting again...

Suggestion: to have our next New Players Welcoming Night shortly after the release of the new boxset "City of Heroes: Architect Edition".

The date I've heard for the boxset is April 14th, so... NPWN at the end of April, beginning of May ?

The floor is open for discussion...

Frankly, I think Group Flight is better than Team Teleport....

[/ QUOTE ]

I used Group Flight on the last 2 NPWN for my Badge Runs, and it's much too easy to "lose" someone mid-flight...

Humm...

Blueside, getting a low-level toon to the Tailor and back is fairly straight-forward.

<ul type="square">[*] From City Hall in Atlas Park, you take the Yellow line to Steel Canyon, then someone use "Recall Friend" to get you to the Tailor.
[*] Either another Recall Friend to the Yellow Line, or Ouroboros portal to Atlas Park.[/list]
Redside ?

<ul type="square">[*] From Fort Darwin in Mercy Island, you need to cross the whole zone to get to the Ferry or the Black Helicopter Line, then Recall Friend to the Face store. OR... Ouroboros portal to Cap Au Diable, then Recall Friend.
[*] You cannot get to Mercy Island from Ouroboros, so Recall Friend to the Ferry, and "Best o' luck... you're gonna need it..." (actually, once they're in Mercy Island, you can swim around the south-east edge of the island to get back to Fort Darwin).[/list]

Since we're throwing ideas... how about a "What Not To Wear / Extreme Makeover" contest for those newbies who desperately want to change costumes but can't get to the Tailor in Steel Canyon in one piece ?

But if I were going to do a lotto, I'd give numbers only to players under level 20 or 1 year of vet rewards...but that's just me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agree.

Now, what about the logistics ? How do we make that work ?

I'll let Kult go first, since it's her idea...

I've given a hand to you and Stalemate in the last 2 NPWN, so sure, pencil me in.

By the way, Kyo, there is something wrong with your avatar picture, some kind of error message...

[ QUOTE ]
Well, the thing, Archiviste, is that here in Protector, it'll get purged after a few weeks of inactivity (i.e. no posting).

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks for the answer, Sir Grey. It's OK for it to get purged, I have the original here.

If there is no posting, it means no-one thought it was worth commenting on... &lt;shrug&gt;

In the RP section, however, they've got stuff so old it was written by Anonymous.

Could be worse, could be written by Mathusala

Posted "Fiction: A Spot for All Seasons" on the Protector Forum last Friday evening.

Humm... It's my first time writing fiction (*) online, so I have to ask: did I put it in the correct area fo the forums ?

(*) I wrote 3 published Living Greyhawk scenarios, but they don't count...

Oups. Missed the fact that Genkio had already issued a command... go with that one, I'll edit out mine.
