Granite to me just seems like a waste of end and a self debuff for no benefit.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agreed. That's the explanation I'm waiting for as well.

Took me some time to get used to my SS/Stone Brute sorry i had some issues regarding taunting hami.

[/ QUOTE ]

If I can offer a suggestion:

I've noticed a trend in Stone Tanks and Brutes lately to raid in Granite form, and I have also noticed a significant increase in said Tanks and Brutes not being able to hold aggro. LJ (the Jesus one) and I noticed this the last time I lead the Scrapper team, as he and I were both pulling aggro from the Stone Tanks and summarily killing our team.

I'm not really sure what the reasoning is behind this, especially Granite + Rooted. With that much -Recharge, I am not shocked that they're not holding aggro the way they should.

So I suggest that we go back to not using Granite form at raids, and instead rely on either Rooted or Acrobatics. I think this will make a significant improvement to the speed and quality of the raids.

My first Red Side raid! I had fun and would do it again! It did get a little laggy during the last bloom, even with graphics turned down.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's because all of the moochers came out from behind their rocks then to get their hit on Hami. Happens every time, on both sides.

I won't be able to make it, with the holiday and all. Have fun everyone!

Double XP Weekend!

And I'll be camping that weekend.

Has Arwen EVER made a double xp weekend? I swear you're always camping when these things happen.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've made several, actually. But I camp in the Summer, and I think the Devs know when and schedule Double XP Weekends accordingly.

Billy Mays is dead at age 50.

Infomercial pitchman Billy Mays died at his Tampa, Florida, home Sunday morning, authorities told CNN.

The 50-year-old known for his shouting OxiClean ads was pronounced dead at 7:45 a.m. The Hillsborough County medical examiner will perform an autopsy, Tampa police Lt. Brian Dugan said.

Mays was on the US Airways flight from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Tampa on Saturday that had a hard landing at Tampa International Airport when the plane's front tire blew out. There were no reported injuries on Flight 1241, US Airways told CNN.

According to a local Tampa TV station, Mays said: "All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."

Airline spokesman Jim Olson told CNN Sunday there were no reported passenger injuries from flight 1241. The airline vowed to "cooperate fully" with authorities in the investigation.

"We were very sad to learn of Billy Mays' passing and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family," Olson said. Tampa officials say the Medical Examiner's Office expects to complete an autopsy by Monday afternoon. In a statement, Deborah Mays said that although "Billy lived a public life," the family does not plan immediate public statements about his death.

Mays was a spokesman for Orange Glo and detergent OxiClean and appeared in commercials for other products.

He is featured on the reality TV show ''Pitchmen'' on the Discovery Channel, which follows pitch people in their jobs.

"It is with incredible sadness that we have to report that Billy Mays died in his sleep last night," said a statement from the Discovery Channel. "Everyone that knows him was aware of his larger-than-life personality, generosity and warmth. Billy was a pioneer in his field and helped many people fulfill their dreams. He will be greatly missed as a loyal and compassionate friend. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family at this time of incredible loss."

Is anyone else mostly waiting for the changes in i15 to come out before they decide to continue working on Story Arcs in the AE?

Seems kinda counter-productive to start a project now when there are so many changes about to go through.

Or has the general interest in creating a project period tapered off?

[/ QUOTE ]

I haven't been playing the game at all for the past three weeks. I'm not really motivated to play MA arcs since they gutted the MA badge content.

The two arcs I have published are going to have a few changes to them once I15 hits. Other than that, my interest in the MA right now is almost zero.

I don't suppose there can be a dinner in October in Ohio, eh?

Say, around the 23rd or so?

[/ QUOTE ]

I would, but I'll most likely be in San Jose for HeroCon then. I plan to go early like last year, especially if we're doing Buca di Beppo for dinner that night.

And Meg, I'll see what I can do about making it that day. Talking it over with Phantom and Banshee right now.

[ QUOTE ]
Is this tonight? Its a 3 hour drive that I would be willing to make if only i didn't have to go to the fireworks tonight with family. I'd actually have to leave right now to make it in time >.>

[/ QUOTE ]

I was thinking it was Saturday night. I'll ask Meg to clarify.

Groovalicious! Although, this isn't Buca di Beppo, is it? Cuz that would be weird.

[/ QUOTE ]

It is indeed.

And Red, I trust that whatever location you choose will be the best. Just give me an address and I'll be there.

[/ QUOTE ]

So... it's really named after Beppo, the Kryptonian chimp? Because I checked out the link you posted, Arwen, and I didn't see anything about that on their website.

EDIT: Also, sweet Jeebus is that place expensive! Now, I expect an Italian restaurant to be expensive, having gone a couple of times to Carraba's, but holy empty wallets, Bat-Beppo!

[/ QUOTE ]

I was just confirming the name and spelling. Make of the chimp reference what you will.

Also, BdB is a family style restaurant, so those prices aren't per person, but per dish. A large dish will easily feed four or five people. I will give you that even with that caveat it's still on the pricey side, but it's very good food, and lots of it.

Avatea just posted that they're doing a hotfix to fix some of the mapserve issues.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know if it is the same issue... She was saying about "...to deploy a hotfix that will address some map crashing issues."

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course it is. Don't be daft.

I tried to play the other night, and just couldn't. It was very laggy and rubberbanding, and I got several mapserves.

Holy crap, I love Buca di Beppo! It was slightly disturbing to see the pope's head on the table...

[/ QUOTE ]

I love Buca di Beppo. If we can't get the Pope room, we request the Brat Pack room. Disturbing, yes, but my family is a bit off.

So apparently I'm in a relationship with everyone on the Justice server. No one has any children by me yet, have they?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not yet. So... when are you going to move to a rural area, stock up on guns and ammo, and declare yourself a messiah?

There's always room for another polyamorous cult in Texas and it's a buyer's market. Once everyone gives you all their money and worldy possessions, you won't even need a mortgage.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not to nitpick, but there is a significant difference between polyamoury and polygamy/polyandry.

The crazy messiah cults are almost always polygamist. In fact, I've never heard of a crazy cult that was completely polyamourous or polyandrous.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I will not be able to make it. I'm incredibly bummed.

There's a nasty rumor circulating that I drink a lot. I'd like to take a few moments to clear this matter up well and truly.

Yes, but even completely sober, you're a laugh riot. Especially over breakfast.
