I'm here when I have nothing else to do, but real life trumps game life 99% of the time. The 1% being stuff like the christmas rikti raid and special events like that. So I'd classify myself as more of a hobbyist.

The card lies.
Happy birthday, CL. -
Vote #3 for warranty. They pay off more often than not.

Pink speedos for all?

It was very nicely done, Murlon. I only died once... on a dominator! :-O

Lotsa fun as always! Thanks for the good time. ^^

Noooooooo.
We'll miss you, Ocho. :-(
Good luck on all of your endeavors. -

Far too many of far too many years to remember. The 'Glory Days' of my SG-ing was way back around the first anniversary of this game when I was part of 'The Impervious Pimps'/ 'Pimps Perfect.' That's when this game really started to feel like home. We had a good crew back then. Capt. Rednecker, Deton8, Capo Moenini, Luna, Dazz Marvelous, and so many others sporting the pink uniforms with pride.
OF the other SG's I've dealt with since then, I give great props to UHB, HoJ, RDLV, The Crazy Pingus, Stoned Templars, and HSO. These groups have always been a pleasure to run with and I appreciate all they do for the game. -
Happy New Year, Champs!

Happy Holidays, Champs.

Thanks for all the fun, CL. I hope everyone had a fun time!
...and because I know I'll get requests for them, here are the bits I ran in broadcast during the raid:
Quote:On the X day of christmas, the rikti gave to me.
A container with a captured honoree
Two Advanced Drones
Three Rikti Monkies
Four open portals
Five Drop Ship Boooooombs!
Six power armors
Seven Plasma Rifles
Eight Containment Fields
Nine stolen homeless
Ten kidnapped mystics
Eleven Glowing tunnels
Twelve shield pylons
And the list of rikti christmas songs yet to be sung:Quote:Twas the raid before Christmas
And all through the zone
All the Rikti were nervous
They were no longer alone.
So they piled on out with their Cannons and Ships.
In hopes that the supers would all take a hint.
When what from the pylons, there arose such a sound.
That before Hro-dotz blinked, the shields were down.
Then what to thier alien eyes did appear,
but dozens of heroes rising through the air.
Rikti cursed and they yelled, they warbled and cried.
They shouted and muttered and teleported outside.
The heroes they landed, bomb fuses soon lit
Hoping to blow the huge spaceship to bits.
And magus emerged to stop all the fun,
but found tankers taunting and blasters with guns.
And after half-hour, maybe a bit more.
The last rikti body fell limp to the floor.
All the villians and heroes rose up with a cheer,
saying "This is our planet! Don't come back till next year!"
Thanks again for a fun night and merry christmas, guys!Quote:I'll bring drones for christmas
Oh, Hro'Dtohz Night
Warning Bells
Scream and Yell
Ukon'Grai is Coming to Town
R'udff the Irradiated Rikti
Grandma got Abducted by a Dropship
Oh, Ten-dropped-bombs
Frs'ti the Gunman
Have a Very Scary Christmas
Walking in a Warzone Wonderland
Its the best invasion time of the year.
Invading on a White Christmas
Away and in Danger
Wreck the Halls
Hark, the Four War Riders Sting
The Little Gunner Boy
Assailent Night
All I want for Christmas is War, Not Peace.

Dra'Gon Orders You to Open Fire
Do You Fear What I Fear.
Have Yourself a Very Rikti Christmas.
I Saw Three Motherships
I Want an Unexploded Bomb for Christmas

Now that is holiday spirit. Kudos to you, War Admiral.

Honestly, i just dont really care about these trivialities at this point. Im happy to do my own thang and have enuf resources and willing peeps to do stuff with.
In the end, if peeps getting butthurt and upset about silly stuff, mebbe its time to step away from the game some and enjoy real life. Cuz at that point, it stopped being a game, a source of entertainment. And really, thats all this is.... (actually I'm being SERIOUS!) -
LOL. I'd forgotten about some of the awesome in this thread. ( Jane LumberMcSuperbeast! Buahahah)
Thanks for the resurrection. -
Quote:Jetboy sums it up nicely. Switching from a star rating to a simple 'Cool' or 'Suck' value system would help alot as well, eliminating the 4-star wasteland that is AE now.Originally Posted by Jet_Boy
Hmmm...
* Low XPs as opposed to standard missions
* Tickets as rewards
* Real "gold" too hard to find amongst the "dross"
* Unregulated rating system
* Too many Exploiters lurking about (small hands, smell like cabbage)
That about covers it.
EDIT: Also, Bubbawheat's new avatar scares me off. -

One told me the guy would never invite me to a team, because with a name like Banana McJammyPants, it's obvious I don't take myself, the game, or my teams seriously.
Love the name.
Reminds me of my guy, Twitchy McBlink. -
Quote:Totally agree with you here, Silas. What Dazz and others are trying to do is create a network of involvement.Originally Posted by Silas

For example, that there should be a form of leadership. If you have one person in charge, people will complain they're an autocrat. If you have a commitee, people will complain that their particular needs aren't represented. Or that progress is hindered by endless debate and voting. If you have a huge council, there's the problem of some people having more of a say than others and even more potential for argument resulting in stuff not getting done.
We have plenty of people running events and helping the community here but many of them are disconnected. So, like Dazz said, when one person has an idea, but no resources and another person has resourced, but no idea... its very hard for them to connect. There needs to be some sore of group connection that they can both go to and create something together.
The problem is that our only example of such a thing here is PERC. Dazz is trying to put something different together but he isn't sure what structure will make it the most efficient with the least drama. That's what the survey is for. :-) -
Had a great time last night, guys. Good Show.

anyway.. that made me go.. omg! neat! -
But you obviously took it personally enough to call Cherry a liar.
Quote:Just sayin.Clearly you didn't.
At least not wholesale.
EDIT: I know this is probably petty and stupid on many levels but I'm just generally cranky at the fact that no matter what anyone does to try and help people, the majority of responses seem to be entirely negative... to something they are getting for free. That contradiction in itself makes my head feel funny but when you accuse a poster of being a liar then have the gall to tell them they shouldn't take things personally? How is one supposed to react to an such an accusation? -

The trick is not to take it personal.
Give it a shot.

I didn't take it as snarky. I took it as, "Keep your opinion to yourself unless it agrees with me or can provide a potential change to the event you are providing feedback to."
Um.... But if you hadn't taken it personally you wouldn't have posted not to take it personally but then no one would be there to tell you not to take it personally because you were the one telling yourself not to take it person....

I may join in on this, assuming I can stop procrastinating. :-)
