This thread isn't light hearted, it is poison. There has been too much of this **** going around. Not the way I wanted to remember you folks, and not the way I want to be remembered.

5) "KACHAOW!" or something like that. Be better if it were tilted like '60s Batman.
6) Take our baseball away from us.
7) CRUSH the baseball, and our dreams. Oh noes...
8) But what's this? A Savior of our beloved baseball?
9) INDEED! Our baseball is SAVED!!!

Only maybe change 'baseball' for 'Paragon/City of Heroes' as needed.

Yeah. Not thinkin' it's right, but it's what I saw *right off*.

Yes, I'm not normal compared to some... but I'm OK with my offcenteredness. It produces things like Brawling Humiliator, after all.

This game could be blown up and remade from scratch for all I care, so long as the community remained a part of it. We the community are not heroes. We pilot fake heroes in a fake game. That's not heroic. It never has been, is not now, and will never be. Implying otherwise is insulting to the memories of real heroes. Real heroes give their lives for a just and worthy cause, or at least come within mortal peril. That's how I define a hero. A hero is not some dude with an obviously wrong yet catchy slogan. Those are called politicians, and most of them aren't revered as heroes.
