Yes, you are - but you can still be saved
I don't want any evangelized ANYTHING! Not 'freedom' or anything else you might be offering -

I'll leave that to your lot
and when we awaken every morning we must have EVIL syrup on our EVIL pancakes
Just ask Frostfire if life is that simple, after he gets bailed out for the 15th time today... -
Quote:You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...Originally Posted by Obsidius
It's basically the feeling one gets after attending HeroCon 2009 or the precipitated news of Going Rogue upcoming features, factions, etc. The buzz creates hubris.
Hubris: Overbearing ambition or pride that leads to ruination

Well, he seems to recruit people with allergies to freedom and justice
Where is the justice for those of us who want to live without violent resistance?
Never speak again about hypocrisy!

The whole 'random abduction with only 10% surviving' thing doesn't make me feel very safe

As long as the person holding the gun to your head to enforce the peace doesn't sneeze, I assume. :P

Before things get too far out of hand, let's all stop and compliment the sexiness of Obsidius's avatar.

I'm going to Praetoria to educate them
Yes, please come to Praetoria and tell our citizens the TRUTH! There is no safety with your 'freedoms' -
I don't think you all get it!
Praetoria is not Primal Earth. Praetoria had an Asian nuclear holocaust and the Devouring Earth as a world wide plague. This world was dying
Primal earth has 'freedom'. That 'freedom' is abused by any and all, from magic powered thugs to ancient demon lords. Your citizens are vivisected by the Vahzilok, experimented on by Crey, killed by Rikti, and have their very souls torn asunder by the Circle. Yet you refuse to take the needed actions to stop these threats!
I would much rather live under the rule of Emperor Cole than live with the dangers of your 'freedom'.
Don't come to Praetoria unless you understand this -
Quote:Beguiled by propaganda? Have you actually SEEN what the CoT is doing in your 'free' society?Originally Posted by Star_Of_Thade
I'll prove my loyalty...
To a cause far greater than oppression. What a silly man, that embodiment of despotism fittingly dubbed Tyrant, to hide behind a mass of soulless individuals long since beguiled by propaganda, fear mongering, and radical Praetorian zealotry.
It is not WE who are 'beguiled', I'm afraid... -
Let's see. Would I rather be mugged in the streets? Have my profits stolen for 'protection'? My body taken to be used as a vessel for an ancient, wicked soul?
ummm...
THANKS EMPEROR COLE! -
On her feet or ON HER KNEES!

Never wanted to get involved in the Rep thing. But silly tags are a fun way to kill time!
Leave my silly tags alone! -
This whole thread is why I almost never even try to use 'contacts'.
It's just that much more enjoyable to join PUGs and help other people do THEIR missions, for as long as the fun lasts, and then be on my way to another PUG
Mission cue? I have no missions in that! -

Just my personal observation, but this is my 4th Halloween event and it never seems to get old
Which is funny, because I can't stomach Croatoa. But give me 2 hours a night knocking on doors and fighting ghoulies and I'm happy as a gamer can get! -
Quote:Not true! The Nexus of all Realities is in the Florida Everglades, guarded by the Man-Thing!Originally Posted by Megajoule
Joking aside, it must be admitted that nearly all comic book universes are Earth-centered to a degree not often seen since Copernicus came along. All those sci-fi planets and alien empires, all those alternate dimensions, but for some reason, the one that the heroes live in/on is the one that everything happens to. This is for a simple, obvious reason - all the readers also live on an Earth, which is improbably similar despite the presence/lack of superpowers - but it can lead to absurd situations as the OP and others have noted.
It's even worse in the Marvel U, where New York City is the center of the universe. (Insert famous New Yorker cover here.)
New York might be important, but the center is in Florida
That's right, kids! Want to see my Giant Size Man-Thing?
first printing, of course -
Some people do take the whole 'friends in a game' thing too seriously...
...nice humor P_P -
I enjoy playing the nickname game:
Midnighters:
Percy Winkley = Percy Useless
Lady Jane = Suicide Jane
C'idion = C'idiot
Posi TF:
Rollister = Rollercoaster
Faultline:
Captain Castillo = Fancy Pants
Fusionette = Fuzzy
many many more, trying to make the PuGs smile

Quote:Thanks! I love that line, but don't have the movie to get it right. Ironic, considering he planned out a bus crashing through a wall just so he could kill a guyOriginally Posted by M_I_Abrahms
*ahem*
Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. You know, I just... do things.
