  1. Who shall we gather our forces to oust first?

    Edit: Also, I wonder if we could use that our advantage and employ other servers as decoys. For example, if someone were to go in and bump another server up one point and knock Protector down one, do you think that the Protector crowd would jump in to bump that server down multiple points while boosting their own score and ignoring ours?

    And would those little one-point bumps to other servers gain us favor that we might capitalize on in later rounds?

  3. I have a macro on a Dominator that triggers Domination and allows me to switch back and forth between costumes with different animations for each switch.

    powexecname Domination$$cce 02 CCDrinkFormula$$cce 04 CCSuperserum

    If I'm already on costume 02, the Superserum animation plays and I switch to 04. If I'm on 04, the DrinkFormula animation plays and I switch to 02. (And if Domination is charged up and ready it fires off at the same time as I change costumes.)

    In your case, you could set up one macro (or bind) to toggle back and forth with

    cce 00 CCLightning$$cce 01 CCLightning
  4. I think people are seeing what this whole Champions thing is all about while they wait for I16.

    I'd be surprised if there isn't the usual new issue traffic spike when I16 goes live.

    You join a team running real missions and your first question in chat is "where to the entertainment thing".

  9. Aquabats! Haven't heard them in a long time. I remember playing their stuff now and again on my radio show in college.

    I don't know that I've ever had a song inspire a character for me, but some of mine definitely have theme songs. I've always thought that Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party" fits my Dark/Dark/Dark Defender pretty well, for example.

    Just an idea....

    I grabbed a demo while everyone was posing. This is the image from that demo with everyone in their original spots.



    The right side was a little congested, so I slid Cath, La Tonnage, and Sgt Rocco around a bit and took another screenshot (with DJ Zero removed from the picture.)

  12. Awesome.

    Demo files I've got down, but the whole video thing has always eluded me.

    Ouch!

    how do you embed a link in text...used to be able to do that in the old forums but now I can't figure it out on the new ones. I see posts that have them....
    Use "url" and "/url" tags.

    For example: [ url=http://paragonwiki.com]Paragon Wiki[ /url ]

    Paragon Wiki

    (And I just learned that if you put a space after the opening bracket in a tag, the space gets eaten and you can post an example without it being rendered.)

    Pure speculation, but I'd give good odds on this order:

    1 Hack
    1 Slash
    2 Slice
    6 Assassin Strike
    8 Build Up
    12 Placate
    18 Parry
    26 Disembowel
    32 Head Splitter

    Parry is pushed to later in the order by Assassin Strike and Whirling Sword is removed. That's based entirely on the differences between Katana and Ninja Blade where Assassin's Blade pushed Divine Avalanche to later in the order and The Lotus Drops was removed.

    Issue 16 Blurbs

    I like the new super sidekicking idea. No more struggling to find the right mix of 50s and non-50s for starting an ITF, for example. And if we're now exing/sking to the level of whoever owns the currently selected mission (and still earning XP while exed, no less), that means that the missions from anyone on the team are now fair game. That raises the odds of all members on the team being able to take part in things like arc completion XP and merit rewards.

    Of course, theory and practice aren't always as similar as we'd like them to be, so I'll reserve final judgment until I've actually seen it working first-hand.

    I'm out of town next weekend, but I look forward to seeing how the picture turns out.

    Sounds like a good use for a demo file.

    Nope. I have several macros and binds on my MM (all of which involve making the minions perform emotes) that haven't worked since they made that change (Issue 13).

    Works fine if I copy the commands and paste them directly into the command line, but not from a macro or bind.

    Hello

    And in addition to choosing to play this game pantless, you've picked a good server, too.
  22. Really nice thing about Photobucket is that if you put a "th_" in front of the image name, you'll actually use the generated thumbnail instead of the actual image and it'll never count against bandwidth limits.

    (Though I think the default bandwidth limit is something like 25 GB these days, so that's probably not going to ever be an issue anyway.)
  23. Under your number of posts on the right, you'll see a little box. If you've had someone add to your reputation, it'll be green, otherwise it'll be blue. (I think you can disable reputation, which turns it black or something.) As more people award you reputation, more boxes are added.

    It's a lot like the star rating system that was done away with long ago on the old boards.
  24. Whew. I was starting to think I was going to have to check myself into forum rehab or something.
