As fun as this is for me, I'm going to have to take a break from the forums for a bit. For starters, I need to catch up on 15 pages worth of questions/ideas/comments, because I really will read everything everyone wrote. Secondly, the next couple weeks are crunch time because of **** ****** ** *****. So give me some time.

I'll look into some of these ideas, and if I'm able to provide you any substantial news, I'll follow up on these forums. Some, I think we can work on soon. Others are going to need a lot more time. Either way, I'll answer everything that I can and answer nothing I can't. As long as we're all willing to work together, I don't see why we can't keep having good discussions.

You won't be left alone. Our Community Team's got some pretty intense things planned for you guys already. You saw one of them already, the Dev Q&A next week. If you think that's neat, it only gets better, and that's just next week. I've seen the schedule they've got planned, and it's safe to say more than a few of you will get what you've asked for very very soon.

In the meanwhile, if it's urgent, feel free to PM me. I can't promise you immediate responses, but I will help if I can. In return for your patience, I may tell you why Castle is evil, and give you an opportunity to humiliate me at your leisure.


Oh and as for getting Herocon goodies outside of Herocon, particularly if you're in the midwest. That I can't fix right away. But if you guys do go to some of these non-Paragon attended events, and are willing to organize a small CoX get-together, I think I can help out. I want the players to enjoy these treats. I don't want them to go to Joe Boe Stranger who'll just plop them on eBay or toss them in the trash. But I'm going to want some juicy stories in exchange.

As for your other question....

I see a big 'GET IT NOW' button on the main page.

And the expansion is available for pre-purchase at the NCsoft store.

Your database is a disaster.
You're waxing your modem; trying to make it go faster.
Hey fella, I bet you're still living in your parents' cellar
downloading pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar.
And posting "Me too!" like some brain dead AOLer.
I should do the world a favor and cap you like Old Yeller.
You're just about as useless as jpegs to Hellen Keller!

Here is NCsoft's merchandise shop.

Surely that would better show the horrors of war than the bombing of Hiroshima? After all the group tried to raise awareness of things going on in the world at the personal level. And given we're in Hawai'i, its a relevant part of history to more than a small portion of the population, maybe even giving insight into why North Korea likes to fire test missles now and then in Japan's direction, etc.

She never wrote back on the matter.

While I don't like it (nukes = yuck), I think it was better than the alternative they thought they had (long, ugly land war). And the US did a lot to help Japan rebuild after that, also.

Of course, at the root, I wish Japan never decided to invade anyone. That's one thing to be considered, too - what was the root of things? There's a lot of things that happened, good and bad, that never would've if the problem never happened in the first place! Yes, I'm sure there's stuff going back further, but you still have to be accountable for your own decisions.
