Do be sociable: I know that the "hard-nosed loner who don't need nobody" is a wonderful character concept for a comic-book or novel character. But it doesn't work in RP. Sorry. If your character is open to conversation, then people will talk to them. If they're not, they won't.

This. This to the nth degree.

There's many an occurance on fantasy RP's for a brooding character to sit in the darkest corner of a tavern, his hand on his sword hilt, looking angry and scowling at all who pass near.

People then wonder why they get no interaction on a character like this. People rightfully -stay away- from such. You don't wander up to a psycho looking nutter with a weapon in the bar and start asking how he is.

Even sociable unsociable characters will have themselves ignored eventually. There's not many who will wish to put up with someone being rude and snappy.

((No one really that level, though Arrow Azure is level 23 and usually responds to such things.))

No worries, and I won't be at the NEC sadly. Curse fiscal issues, cuuuurse!

There's two of me?! Good lord.

Just got in after missing my train by 3 minutes, starting to warm up. Stuff happens, people have to cancel, people had fun though! And many bad puns were made. Oh so bad.

Mereman: You'd think a character with wings at level 1 should be able to fly.
Zortel: Maybe they're broken wings, and you need to learn to fly again, and learn to live so free.
Wiffle: That was terrible...
Zortel: It was required!

And that's us done now. We're all off home, thanks to those who came, and I'll try to arrange another if people want one. See you next time!

(The prizes will carry over. /nod)

So far it's me, Wilfred and Mereman, having gotten to level 8 with new characters 'UPS Rabbitman', 'Half Man Half Idiot' and 'Action Movie Hero Boy'.

It's also cold here. So very cold.

The hardest part was scurrying under my bed to find prizes. Connor Brown, the level 50 AV spider, now summons minions.

On the plus side, all packed and ready to go. Ish.

Unless they make it so the Mac users get that free and have to buy the GvE pack. Then it's kinda balanced.

Like the title says, let's take a blast into the past!

Anyone remember all those topics we had at the begining of EU CoH, with people complaining that the flag above City Hall was a US one and that it should be an EU flag, even though Paragon City is... uh, a US city?

Code of Conduct for the event:

1: Be nice.
2: Listen to staff.
3: Have fun.
4: Breaking number 1 will result in me battering you with a copy of the Guild Wars: Nightfall artbook.

We're there from 10am till 6pm, then it's possibly off to the Forum for Pizza, or a pub for drinks. Or one, then the other.

Liberty Girl should speak to Zortel about that. She has a material she used as tights for when she used to wear a skirt when fighting time. Now she's more sensible and wears a full bodysuit.

I'm not sure how reliable my memory is on this, but wasn't one of the devs, possibly Statesman, quite surprised at the amount of people using bases for things other than PVP, and even, gasp, roleplaying and group meetings?

I only know of 2 popular, mainstream MMO's on Mac at the moment. WoW, and EVE.

Good hunting, CoHMac!

Long coat and a hat? Got your style all over it, Gid I did enjoy it, and the fact that she might just be dreaming the whole thing.

Looking forward to the next part!

There'll probably be a few others using the facilities. But most of it should be ours. I'll double check tomorrow to make sure.

And take a recount, hopefully there'll be enough/not too many.

Dinah will still be in London on Saturday, enjoying a fine evening of entertainment after an afternoon of horse riding.

General plan of events is meet up, chat, play CoH, have a few little competitions to win some 'great' prizes.

Okay, mostly just NCSoft memorabilia from my own private vaults.


Can you make a truely great villian with an impressive costume and backstory? If you can and win, you will get to be evil in the comfort of your own home with a CoV Arachnos Mousemat!

Better at making a paragon of hope, justice and heroism? Then if you win you will be able to battle villains forever with a Manticore and Lord Recluse Heroclix figure. And possibly some trading card like things and an NCSoft ID badge holder clippy neck thing.

If you're really lucky and I'm really lucky, you may even win a copy of Auto Assault!

And then after that it's off to get food and drink.

People with reliable connections. It's all fun and games until a chunk of guests vanish.

Dinah: Coming, dressed to kill, not literally.
Zorielle: Dropping by for a bit.
Ryan: Coming, is there any chance of a +1?

On the bright side, at least you won't have The Cat trying to buy the shirt off your back!

I shall not be able to attend this year sadly I made the last two as well.

Money issues, something coming up on the 23rd and so forth, ah well, have a great time those that are going!

Yup, we're still go! Frantically trying to decide on a few fun little events and such, but mostly I envision doing some teaming and relaxing.

I'm just the go-between, we have some of the people over on the Virtueverse wiki to thank for the bots and the backend work.

Also, go over there and check out the the story 'Season of Hope' by the Ascendent. If you don't cry, you're inhuman.

It should be, yes! There may be another bot sweep later just to clear up some categories that didn't get smoted, but other than that...

Happy birthday! Don't do anything I wouldn't-... wait, don't do anything you wouldn't-... wait...

Do something classy!
