7 headshots, from a semi-auto, before they can return fire, and hoping that a death spasm doesn't cause a hostage to be shot anyway, or just shot when a trigger is pulled in shock from the first shot? even with super reflexes and extreme luck, i doubt the RoF would keep up.
This is why they use hostage negotiators, even if not successful, they distract the criminal so they dont shoot people.

Gonna have to add a "no" to killing anything beyond rikti (its war, its different), and non-humans, for heroes.

Shoot to maim. if fire blasters can do it, so can you.

the .223 was based on the Pistol used by Deckard in bladerunner, and definatly needs another mention.

The RP supergroup thread is a leftover from when they merged the EU and US forums, so pretty much all the posts before a certain date will be for the EU.

As has been said, the two main RP servers are Union (eu) and Virtue (us), but theres varying amounts on all servers.
Having played on both US and EU, i can say you'll find a lot more, and varied, RP on Virtue. Possibly due to having a far higher population.

What i want to know is this: when a hero becomes a villain fully, and vice versa, does it unlock the flashback missions for their new side? and how will ouroborus work for grey-area chars?

(although i'm sure even if they cant access hero side Ouro, they can still team for flashbacks if they start from a SG base)

Ravenswing is right, and i agree.
Blaming society is a poor way out. No matter what social situation you're in, there is always an alternative to doing the wrong thing.
Theft for example is spawned from lazyness. "need" doesn't cut it, as there are better ways to feed yourself with no money.

Another of society's problems, Homelessness, should in theory be already iradicated in the UK, as all you require for being put on a council housing waiting list is a fixed adress to which letters can be sent, which some churches and doss houses will supply (a method off the streets i've seen work twice). But this problem continues because of personal choice not to take the steps to do so. Is society to blame for these people living in this state? because society has provided them with the means to change that.

Everyone's actions are made from a choice on their own part, society doesn't force anyone's hand, else those born into bad parts of society wouldn't be striving to move away from that.

And why should everyone take a share of the blame for one person's mistakes?
What makes it right for Tim to be punished for his brother Johnny's crimes, because they grew up together so must of influenced eachother?
Or further afield, why should anyone take the blame for someone who they have never met nor been in contact with, just because we are all part of the same society?

actualy, the story was supposedl lifted from fahrenheit 451
Another good one to add to your "to-read" list.

I want to read this x-men/startrek crossover :O

Please, look up the term "mary sue", it may shed some light on what ravenswing is getting at

1 brain < 6 billion brains.
messing with one to save the free will of a lot of others is a small price.

People have to make a choice for themselves, not have it thrust on them.
People have a tendancy to push against things that are put on them too hard, whether they are for their good or not.
Also, there are those who are immune to mind control, and atleast one off the top of my head who wouldn't be happy about the idea of world peace.
