Nice vid, 4shes! Fun to watch.

I'm sorta surprised the card didn't come with an extender.

Lori Petty.

While she may look a tad butch, one might say. I like her.

She fit the role perfectly in Tank Girl.

Did you try rearranging the configuration of the power lines to some of your other devices so that one of them reaches the card?

Replacements? Meh, at best.

Oh come on! Jon Favreau pushed the awesome button in it.

A big Gratz to all the Pingus!

The preceding has been a history lesson by Prof. Elk brought to you by the letter banana.

It was good to hear that SG name again. It sure has been a while.

Good to hear from you LadiFire/ Talisken.

PVP was on fire back in those days.

I tried to make it, but our baby started to crawl and it was her bath night. TMI maybe, but it sure was great to watch.

So is this a 'I lost a 1v1 duel' thread?

I was hoping for something more given the title.

Meh.

I've already gotten a tanker to Level 11 in preparation for the Tanking event.

I checked into Freedom on the weekend to make a Tank for the event and found I already had a L11 there. It was a pleasant surprise.

If I'm on tonight I'll look you up, Witty.

You will be greatly missed, Ex Libris. You have been a wonderful rancher to our corral of crazy.

May your path be soft underfoot and the wind at your back.

Cheers.

Thanks so much for the kind words you two.

One or all of the following, from her point of view:

- I have not realized the awesomeness of teh bunneh eerz

- Grandma put these blasted things on my head hoping I'd sit there and be cute. How would you feel?!?

- no u

Hehe, Peterbilt.

Our little heroine unlocked the bunny ears costume piece during her first Easter event.

What if it was on the warehouse side of the wall; opposite the street. Then nobody would know it's there unless you saw it indescriminately.

Ahhhh! It's a [censored] piece of metal on a [censored] four foot wall. It's not like it's on the side of every other [censored] bus in town! Ahhhhh!

And if you want to get into the Event vs. SG thing then I would argue a SG is far more time intensive and requires much more managing to survive after 4+ years then an one-a-month event.


[/ QUOTE ]

That's fine you could make that argument.

I would rebutt that to keep an event going requires a dedication of a different degree than that of an sg.
In an sg you see tangible results - prestige, base growth, sg and coalition chat, motd, rankings, even membership numbers. Which leads to, generally, having a static roster which can be easily accessed to check for availability.

Comparatively, an event does not have these capabilities naturally within the game mechanics. Yes, you could start a channel, but the participants need not have anything to hold onto beyond the moment that it happens. There is not a typical leadership as it's volunteer based. Furthermore, the only invitation that happens is an open one to all, regardless of affiliations, level and skill, to show up. There is nothing formal such as an acceptance or dialog box interaction and the terms 'joining' or 'quitting' are not in the vocabulary.
There is nothing that indicates an event, particularly this one, as an organization or affiliation.

We could argue the semantics between two groups of people with similarities, but with key differences. However, I don't think that's really necessary here to continue to do.

Would any of that effect your opinion?

An article in the City Scoop, special forum titles for the organisers, a spot in the game news or some such would be a lot more appropriate

[/ QUOTE ]Sam has it right. Any of those things are far better than a plaque in the game world.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is your opinion, which is appreciated, but it is not, necessarily, fact.

Now if we could only confiscate all the spray paint cans from the street punks of Paragon maybe we can start to clean up the rest of the graffiti, too.

So are you for or against any sort of long-term Dev tribute regarding player events or the community?

If you think this is grandstanding would you feel the same way if this was a request made firstly by the Repeat Offenders or Taxibots (both are worthy of some kind of merit btw imho)?

Or is it because the request was made for something you may possibly feel is not 'popular' enough (for lack of a better word)?

Or something else entirely?

I don't want to diminish your POV by any means, but I would like to know where you stand.

The point is, Bill, that Pep_Rally was saying that at the time, if you read the updater, you would have known.

Having to remember what was posted there beyond any length of time is irrelevant.

I can barely remember what forum I'm posting in half the time.

I guess you can't read every forum all the time, but if you played the game and read the updater the month before the 3rd anniversary, Oct. 2007, you would know what Tanker Tuesday is about.

[/ QUOTE ]

fix't

I kinda like the idea of NPC dialogue.

"Is it getting close to start of a new month? Because Tankers from all around gather here on the first Tuesday beginning way back in October 2004."

"I'm surprised the City hasn't had to pave the street more than they have restulting from Tanker Tuesday still going strong after all these years."

I'm in favour of something being done for this milestone.
