Armeros

As the "official" Park Ranger of the Shard, I welcome zombie Rularuu in all shapes and sizes. It's gets kinda tedious to see the same cast of characters floating in another dimension all the time. The park ranger job is never easy or glamorous, but bring in some zombie Rularuu and I am all good... =)

Unfortunately, I was unable to participate.

Tried to play on Saturday, but as soon as I found a team and went in mission, my rig froze up. Logged back in to let those folks that I was not going to be able to play until I checked out what was wrong (still don't know what happened), and RL kept me busy the rest of the way.

Hopefully, everyone that was able to play this weekend were able to get the results they wanted.

I wanted to write and let you all know that I don't know what my status will be for FNF or anything else for that matter (at least in the short term).

I have a friend of mine, he is like an older brother for me. He lost his wife of 12 years to cancer. Now, he has been unable and unwilling to find closure for that part of his life. Instead, he is drinking and overmedicating himself and it is becoming more and more of a problem for him. He is about to lose his job, he is not in the strongest financial situation and he really does not have anything to fall back on. So, instead of trying to put the pieces together, he is breaking it up into smaller pieces.

This, of course, does not count the myriad of problems I am going thru on my end, but it's not about me....I want to help him get back on his feet emotionally, mentally and physically so that he can go forward and not continue the downward descent he has been in.

In the end, I love this game but my friend and my brother has to come ahead of anything else. This does not mean I am disappearing from the game, it just means that I may not be able to commit timewise to anything at this point.

I hope you folks that have been doing the FNF's understand and that I will keep you posted as to what my status will be for future FNF's.

Thank you and I apologize for any inconvienience that this may cause to anyone. It is certainly not my intention.

2AM

That was the time I got back.

2AM

I hate having to pick up anyone from the airport.

2AM

Thank goodness it was not 3AM (insert KLF CD into player) =)

Surprise, surprise....flight delayed.

I am sitting at Miami International Airport hating every minute of this. Not looking good for me to make it for the start, and at this rate I might be here for a few hours.

Going to go drown my sorrows.....actively searches the airport for a Cinnabon =)

OK, I need to go pick up my parents at the airport tonight. While I expect to be back in time to run this, if there is a delay in their flight, I may not be able to get back to start this off (if at all). It's about 45 minutes from the airport to their house and about another 60 to my place, so I am going to be cutting it close.

Meet at AE in Independence Port at 10PM.
If I am running behind, I will post on the boards from my cellphone.

See you tonight, or if not...my parents will pay for this =)

OK, seeing that interest in this is tepid at best, I would like to hear from the folks who had consistently run this to gauge where they are at in terms of continuing the Friday Night Flights.

Myself, I can go 2 Fridays on, 1 Friday off.

I know Knight Chill is on sabbatical (as mentioned in a previous post).
Shadow has school as well as other RL family issues (as mentioned in a previous post).
Pepsi tags along from time to time.
Kheldarn and Arbiter Morrison, are your schedules good for these runs in the future?

If we have to put the FNF on sabbatical due to RL, I understand.
If that is the case, I was thinking that I am gonna use Sunday to have a Shadow Shard Sunday Spectacular which would be a task force in the Shard set at Invincible (for the challenge, and the fun).

Either way, I would like to hear from all of you to see where you all stand in terms of the future of FNF.

It happens, Arb.
I have no problem leading it, but if the turnout is going to be slim, then perhaps we can do it another week when more folks can come along. Or, do it every other week because some of the regulars have new work/school schedules, etc.

I had an arc to run, but now I can't find it =(

Needless to say the end of summer doldrums seems to be hitting hard and hopefully once people get used to their new schedules, etc. things will pick up once again.

Any suggestions for this week?
I have an some arcs on standby, but if anyone wants to try something else I am game.

Also, of the regulars, is anyone not going to be able to make it tomorrow night?

Vix, gonna have to bow out of the reserve for Saturday morning. We have appts. to see more houses Saturday at 10AM, so barring the fastest ITF in recorded history, I would not be able to join you all, and seeing that you have a full squad of 8, plus reserves, me dropping will not be missed in terms of being able to field a full team of 8.

Good luck to you all and thanks Vix for organizing the TF's =)

Well, welcome to the game and the forums.

Hopefully you will get to enjoy the full content of City of Heroes.
You will find very helpful people here in the forums and you can also find events, TF's and other player organized events as well.

Feel free to contact me if you need anything in-game: @Armeros

Once again, welcome to the forums and City Of Heroes.

Still would be AM for me as a reserve until I know for certain what the weather has to bring and if I am house hunting Saturday morning or not.

I will keep you posted as to my status as soon as I can.

I'll take a reserve spot please.
Not sure if we will be house hunting or putting up shutters due to the possibility that one or both storms in the Atlantic could approach the Florida coastline.

If I am able to appear, I can either bring

1. Armeros (fire x 3 blaster)
2. Thermakinesis (fire/kin/earth controller)

Welcome back, Vix.

Awesome news indeed, many blessings for Anna as well as you and your family.

It's not meant to be as a "restriction", you can say what you want, but where is the line in terms of pushing a competing product? Over the years I have seen and read some crazy stuff but promoting another product that is in direct competition, I feel personally is wrong.

I hope people do go and check it out, I don't have anything against any other MMORPG in the market. I for one will not be checking it out, but for anyone who does I hope you enjoy your experience.

Now, I am not the most vocal and opinionated person here, but today was a breaking point of sorts. I am moving my lesser used toons around for their day job badges and all I am seeing in Level 50 chat is Champions Online. Where to go to sign up for the beta, etc. Last time I looked around, this is City of Heroes and not the CO chat line. I chose not to say anything in channel, because in all honesty it would have been ignored or shot down (just like this post may end up being as well).

Folks, I have no problem with people wanting to try another game, hell try every game known to man for all I care, but at least have the decency to promote another game via PM or in any other RL manner. To promote a game that is in direct competition with City of Heroes especially in-game global channel, in my opinion sucks.

In the end, I just wish folks would have a little bit of respect for City of Heroes and by extension NCSoft. You may not like what decisions they have made over the years, I am in that boat in regards to some of the changes, but you won't ever see me advertising in-game, another game no matter how bad. The day comes when I no longer want to play City of Heroes for whatever reason, I will cancel my subscription and move on to something else (whatever that may be). As of right now, I don't plan on leaving and I will maintain as active a place in the Guardian community as my real life will allow.

I apologize if this upsets some people, but I needed to get this off my chest. I hope that our game can return to all of us who enjoy, play and put down hard earned money to play City of Heroes, not some advert for another game or two.

Welcome back, Moi.

CMA has you covered on the I16 changes and at least in my opinion, the changes are good and hopefully will continue with "Going Rogue".

Ulli ate all the cookies that were stashed for you, which is not surprising....

Once again, welcome back =)

Thank you for your service.
You will be missed and we look forward to your safe return from serving in Afghanistan.

I'll keep the lights on at the Shard for you in case the other lights go off!! =)

Everyone needs a break from time to time.
I don't have a problem running these FNF's while Knight is on sabbatical.
However, it would be 2 Fridays on, 1 Friday off due to a recurring commitment in RL I must keep up with.

Since I can't tonight for the aforementioned reason, I can start it back up next Friday. Maybe we can mix it up and do some in-game content, a task force or anything that you all may want to suggest.

I'll post up next week what we'll end up doing this coming Friday.

Count me out for this Friday's FNF.

Got to go and help my friend set up his computer room. I would have done this on Saturday, but I have a family engagement with the in-laws on Saturday, which forced me to move the computer room setup to Friday instead.

Hope you all have a good time on Friday.

No worries, it happens. =)
Hopefully you'll be along for the ride next week when Knight returns from his vacation.

Welcome back.
Hope you enjoyed your vacation.

The usual Guardian shenanigans as usual while you are away.
Nothing else to report.
Once again....welcome back.
