Hard to say why. Peer pressure mostly. A lot of my favorite forumites were already there. So I checked it out and, you know, it's nice to talk about whatever I want with people who get my nerdy references.
Also, if I suggest the moderator's mother might exchange sexual favors for nickels behind the 7-11 on Fourth and Asbury on Thursday Nights (nickels optional!) chances are I'll still be able to post the next day. That's liberating. -

Marauder is in charge of the Powers Division - that's blatantly not racism - he trains and commands Tyrant's superpowerd forces

Quote:Yes, that's EXACTLY what the governements of the world would do with super powered citizens.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I think that it'd be likely superpowered people would have to register with the government, so there might be some kind of privacy law to protect the identities of any of them who were going to be fighting crime.
If I eyeroll any harder they'll fly out of my skull. -

Who told you that? Are you posting just to post or do you have some FACTS to back up your guessing?

No secret identity would hold up to the relentlessness of the paparazzi.
Our media would get our super heroes and their loved ones killed dead rather quickly. -

* I would scrap heroes and villains and have everything go via a perpetually shifting alignment meter which tracks how people react to you, which contacts trust you with missions or force you to prove yourself first... that sort of thing.
* Hazard Zones featuring destroyed buildings like The Hollows and Boomtown would all be turned into Rebuilding Zones. Similar to Faultline they would include efforts to slowly rebuild the zone to its former glory. A work crew appears during each day-cycle and works on a building or street, etc. However... HOW-EHV-AH... All such zones are now destructible, so when you fling a fireball and it hits a building, the building takes damage. When you knockback that Freakshow into a wall the wall falls apart. The roads react to footstomps, etc. Then the tried and true work crew comes out the next day... sighs in exasperation... and begins to rebuild again.
* All contacts would have voice actors reading their mission info. You would have the option of turning this feature off or interupting it with a mouse click. In addition to this all contact dialog would be re-written to take into account speech quirks to individualize them more.
* Specialty maps... I would start moving beyond the City concept and have missions take heroes and villains a bit more far afield. Perhaps a battle to keep the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower from being blown up. Want a REAL Safeguard or Mayhem mission? Try Fort Knox! It's time for the heroes to move beyond the City.
* I would create an on-line animated series. I would hire Dark_Respite to do all the animation (and PAY her to do so!) and get that hack Steelclaw to write the scripts (he doesn't get paid... but it will come off his community service time). The series would be an amusing (hopefully) situation comedy about the major characters of Paragon City. Contests would be held periodically for real players to get cameo roles here and there.
Hey! Enough with the serious, on topic contributions to the discussion you! Get back to making a pithy list for me to giggle at! -
Quote:If you set yourself to decline all invitations, then your SG wont be able to invite you until you change the setting.Originally Posted by poptart_fairy
Never said it wasn't valid. I said it was rather asinine - a bit pointless. If you're going to team with SG mates, chances are you're going to be - y'know - getting invites from them, rather than using the LFT tool.
I dunno, maybe it's just an amazing shock that people don't need stuff spelled out for their Supergroup members.
If you set yourself to not seeking, putting an explanation of why out there makes it more clear that you didn't simply forget or not have a chance to look. -

Ask any woman, she'll tell you that "Maybe" means "No."

Hey guys.
How's everyone doing today? -
Unlimited resources?
Buy out Blizzard, shut down the WoW servers, and transfer existing WoW subscriptions to City of Heroes. If we retain even a third of those numbers, I call it a win. -

As my contribution to this good/evil thing, any hero no matter how goody two-shoes can be pushed to the point where he/she starts to believe that people cannot resonably rule themselves safely and that they would be better off if the hero was in charge. My evidence: Bruce Timm's Justice Lords in "A Better World".
And, even after that point, can still be redeemed. See Justice Lords Batman.
And sometimes can't. See Justice Lords Superman. -

Quote:It's true that every time I finish an RSF, "uppity" is not a word that would describe Miss Liberty with any accuracy.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
"Uppity"? What an old-fashioned word
It's also not the correct one for her - she's just very passionate about her job -

Quote:His whims are.. pretty agreeable if you have enough power. He lets Mother Mayhem steal bodies from innocent and loyal citizens. I gather from that, that as long as you're willing to tow the line, you can probably get away with some pretty heinous abuses of your power. Purely speculative of course, but it looks to me to be a case of absolute power corrupting absolutely. The framework of peace and security puts one in a position of total authority. From total authority, it's easy to get comfortable with excess, and then depravity follows naturally from there. It's a pretty good gig if you're morally compromised anyway.Originally Posted by Westley
Do you REALLY have any power when you have to obey the whims of a dictator?
Besides, I figure my villains could probably topple him if I put their minds to it. But why bother? His value as a figurehead of peace and a deterent to the Hamidon threat would be difficult to replace, and if I am already doing whatever I want with him "in charge", why change things up? -
This discussion rocks.

QR.
OP's idea is bad.
OP's spelling is also bad. -

Telling them that greyed-out means already teamed doesn't help. They just call you a liar and insist that you join them. After all, you were available on THIER search, therefore you must be available to team with THEM.
I still believe that a tutorial on how to set/use the flags (as well as an update to the existing system) should be added to the game.
It's an awesome system, and nobody uses it. A waste as is. -
They're evil. This one time they're actions dont have negative consequences, but they likely have in the past and will in the future.

So.. after this patch Sharkhead Isle is all whited out for me. I can still see all the mobs and use the Black Market, but the ground and the surfaces are all whited out. Wassup wit dat?
