see now Empath speaks the truth. PES for life baby.

Yes we do as they did in Korea, but not US or EU and People were warned off trying to get hold of it if they were in those two territories.

so what part of that says to you that they can release one here?

Question: are you a software developer?

unfortunately, the the CoH demo files are just a big pile of text that only really makes sense to the CoH engine. it's not like it takes a quick time movie or anything.

Fraps?

Cassandra was Impassive as she walked in to the Arena, she smiled at Daveck's words as she was transported in to the Arena.

she appeared in a abandoned open air theatre, she stood on the stage and waited.

Cassandra Stepped in to the Arena, her Olive and back armour creaking slightly as she moved. she stand in the abandoned open air theatre and waits.

i unfortunately can't be there before 10... will see you all if it's still going on.

sounds interesting, am free tonight, Saturday, Sunday.

And if you don't fudge the security levels and threat levels (assuming for the sake of argument they've all hit the cap), a guy in a tuxedo is the same threat level as a god who has the same threat level as a medic who has the same security level as a cop who has the same security level as a ten year old kid who has the same security level as a deadly assassin.



This is the kind of thing I'm talking about in regards to consistency.

well one, no ones character is god powerful, other wise they wouldn't be a reserve member of the FP, two, this is why security level is different from combat level. SL is the rating that the FBSL give you when you have proved your self, not that you are Statesman 2. the threat level thing is more difficult, but i guess again that what ever the character appears to be they can generate a certain level of treat if they choose to.

but then Villains is all sorts of messy. the lack of ability to be proactive for a start.

The answer? Because Security Level is used in the game world. Your ability to have a job, enter buildings, interact with civilians etc, etc ad nauseum is not.

We fudge aside game mechanics on how powers

[/ QUOTE ]

And I'm afraid this is where the argument loses me. Powers have an impact on your ability to interact with the game-world, as does the lack of a secret identity option, as does the lack of AI responding to you in anything other than a pre-defined way, etc. It just seems that, as I said, people are leaping all over the "security level = IC" part of the world but ignoring other aspects of it.

I can see where the argument is coming from so don't get me wrong there, but it's a little jarring to see this kind of inconsistency crop up. :/

if you don't fudge the power mechanics thought you all have the same powers for the same reasons, so fudging that is pretty much required.

Simple they don't think you can punch Rikti hard enough.

[/ QUOTE ]

Utterly beside the point. Combat Level =/= Security Level, but Vanguard work off your Security Level. I'd say that since Vanguard work, to a certain extent, outside the law, employing people from the Etoile Islands as well as Paragon City, they simply use SL as a way to judge if you are experienced enough, in the eyes of others, to handle the things you find out.

[/ QUOTE ]

And yet they have the same cutoff point for villians who don't have a security clearance level to work off of.

In fact villains have a threat level, which would suggest they are offered access purely by how dangerous vanguard think they are.

Which would altogether suggest that they base acceptance into vanguard by how well you fight not how much they think they can trust you.

Else no villain would be able to join.

[/ QUOTE ]

so you will admit that an unregistered hero would have to be a villain to get in to most place then? or at least be perceived to be a villain.

[ QUOTE ]
Well I'll admit to being the one who started this but then it's something I really would like better defined, Fans works for Hero Corps full time because she needs the money after all!

[/ QUOTE ]

small problem here. no hero corps branch in Paragon, was destroyed when it was opened and another has never been built, as the Disciple Badge explains.

I haven't any knowledge why they are the rep people though.

Student Badge, Expert Badge, Authority Badge, Historian Badge. I think these are the most pertinent of the in game history.

not to mention the catgirl that didn't really join but has a fragment but is the most powerful PB in the UNIVERSE...

or the one not really joined with a powerful mage... the list is so very long...

yeah... cos that's what people do with PB/WS...

Score.

thats not a Wiki about Union, it's an RP wiki...

Perhaps the bigger question is; in a world where superheroes are real, what purpose do comic books about superheroes serve?

[/ QUOTE ]

See watchmen.

(( I would say real world blades only, as this seems to be a world were the old Gods actually once were, though ghosty is using the swords from a david Gemmel novel, unless he nicked them from some were))

No, he means plots like yours, that if everyone ignored, still wouldn't end the world.

I really hate pets, like a lot...

Mattias’s head snaps back and he flies across the room to impact on one of the steel support girder, it buckles slightly from the impact and he slumps to the floor unconscious.

Cass straightens with a wince, she felt the knives going in, and god damn did it hurt, but it doesn't feel critical. Slowly she walks herself over to the unconscious figure on the floor, and stiffly kneeling, she attaches a UV holding tag, watching as he is teleported away.

She starts to stand but her legs feel week and her vision swims, she manages to activate the mediport before she blacks out, leaving only the blood trail behind

A few hours later, in the Unity Tower medical facility.

Cassandra lies still on a hospital bed; many strange devices are attached via cables, making their own nocturnal voicings heard. A vigilant stands outside guarding the room and its occupant, as they watch and wait for her to wake up.

((any visits to her or to the prisoner should be done in the Unity tower thread, the chronology is that this happened Friday))))

only finishes today...

Certainly not before the guys are back from the Birmingham mini con..
