Okay, by far that is the coolest thing I have seen built in a base. If I had my way you would get a Perm Yellow Name Tag that says the following: Giant Robot Builder.

Great work and hopefully there is more to come.

Take care. Good luck with your future endeavours. I dont think I have had any interactions with you, but I earnestly wish you the best regardless.

Its tough out there, take care and feel free to use us as a reference. :P

Why does it seem like everywhere I go (game wise) the community relations guys end up leaving?

Is it my breath?

Lights by Journey my all time favorite band and my wife's favorite song by them. Way cool and a great way to send Alex off.

Lighthouse good luck to you and yours. Come visit us and let us know how things are shaking up for you. Hopefully the capes will still follow you along the night making sure that you Lamp does not get extinguished.

Ex please take the time to do a general web search for the names of the previous owner of the dog. The info on the micro-chip is enough to use the web to find the place of the current owner. If nothing else you can pay a research company about $25-$75 to get current information. Most decent people who love their animals enough to get them chipped are willing to pay for most costs associated with getting back a member of their family.

This is a great suggestion and excellent points made as to how it should be done.

When I was in the Character Costume section and using the Random Costume Generator and tried to use the "Last" button, I got a hard crash and dumped out of the game.

Posi, I read somewhere you were a fan of Pai Gow poker. Any tips?

Sure.

Don't play the "bonus". They payouts are horrid vs. the actual odds of pulling one of those hands.

Build up a good rapport with the other players. If everyone is friendly (and you have a full table) you can ask who has the bug. If no one fesses up, it's pretty good odds that the dealer has it. If that's the case be prepared for the flush or straight in the high hand (which usually means a very weak low hand). Get your low hand as good as possible even if it means sacrificing your high hand to do it (like splitting up two low pairs).

Don't drink. You will make bad decisions.

If you are stumped how to play a hand, ask the dealer how the house would play it. The house will ALWAYS play a hand the mathematically best way to play it, since they want to keep their edge. The dealers will always tell you how the house would play that hand, as well.

If you have the bankroll and want some more excitement, bank a hand. You can win big, or lose big. Just be sure to bet the minimum on the hand before you bank (the house will match your previous bet to play against you).

If the dealer starts crushing you over and over with monster hands... get up and walk away. Don't keep raising your bet because you are "due" to get a winning hand eventually.

Don't go thinking that your casino rewards card is getting a lot of points playing hours and hours of Pai Gow. PG poker is, I believe, the least effective time/rewards of all casino games because there are so many pushes and the game takes forever to deal a hand.

Now, back to the design grind... anyone know a good way to pick a handcuff with a mechanical pencil, a Hero Clix, and a poker chip?

I do, but I want the bug hunter badge for all the characters on my account, once that is agreed upon, I will set you free. D'oh, I mean I will tell you how to get yourself of of the cuffs.

GenCon Flu or no GenCon Flu I'm in for the long haul. Next year I will be wearing a Storm Trooper outfit so look out flu, failing my getting hands on a Storm Trooper outfit, I will wear some protective mask of some soft. Or maybe, I will just have to suffer.

Oh well, it was well worth being sick for several days.

She was perfectly safe, if not a bit leery, as we told her, "We have two fire fighters with us." And we did, nor did we drop her so all was good in the end.

I love the pic that we are holding Cuppa Jo across us. PSF had the most unique pic with that one. Thanks for posting them and again, thanks for ALL that you and all of the NCSoft people did for us.

Rich the Thankful

Ditto and Ditto. This sucks, but willing to get it again next year.

Rich the Flu Guy

Well here is just one of the pics that we got along with the great swag and a certain CoH Cardboard Display Stand that is in the Pic.

I should point out that this is some of our SG members along with Ex Libris. In order: Paul, John, Rich (me), Ex Libris (Jill), Chuck and Brian.

I will again just say that everybody rocked and no worries about shouting at me about a Fire/Fire Blast not hitting the debt cap is impossible. I also want to say how small a world the real world is, Isis aka on the forums as iammachine only lives about 20 mins away and has played with another SG Mate Byro.

And once again, how great where the NC Folks, just the best if you ask me. I got a chance recently to check out "WoW" and meet some of there people at GenCon, and they totally put me off of "WoW." Again, if you want good peeps, look no further than Ex Libris, Cuppa Jo, Artic Sun and all the other NCSoft people.

Rich the Swag Guy Picture

Yes and we pointed him out to some Rikti and well, he is currently being held hostage. Hopefully somebody will rescue him.

Rich the Snitch

Paragon's Super Friends & Rogue Isles Legion of Doom will have 5-7 people at GenCon. Several of us have met before and for a few of us this will be the first meeting.
Paragons Super Friends is located on the Champion Server and has been around for 2yrs now.
Hope to meet a few other CoH/CoV folks out there.

Rich the Con

Due to circumstances beyond our control we will have to postpone this event till a later date in time. We are so sorry for any problems that this may cause.

Rich the So Sorry Guy

This June 3rd at 7pm EST on CoH and again at 9pm EST on CoV Paragon's Super Friends are having their third Background Story/Costume Contest on the Champion Server.

Why don't you just have it as part of the Thursday Block Party; you don't have to worry about age requirements or locals who aren't into gaming since it's only for GenCon attendees, and could easily be arranged with the GenCon staff to have it there with a bunch of tables set aside for such an occasion.

Just a suggestion.

Ashes to ashes,

Because that would not give them the chance to meet the most people, as many attendies don't arrive until Friday.

I've been avoiding the boards like they were inflected with the plague lately. Since most of the stuff is the same old same old, glad somebody took time out to post something positive to actually help others while not being Snotty about it.

Thanks Pilcrow.

I have avoided this post since the minute it came out, figuring the title was stupid and the post would die. Well, duh, I'm wrong again. What a GREAT idea.

Enhancement Level Buying & Slotting Guide

We all like to see our Enhancements in the Green and even better if they are ++, however that is not always cost effective, especially now with the Inf/Prestige split.

Here is what two years of playing the game has taught me about purchasing and slotting Enhancements.

1. Buy on the levels ending in 2s and 7s.
2. Play every odd level out of SG mode in order to afford your Enhancements.
3. Slot freebies when you can, sell the rest.
4. Buy DO’s and SO’s when you can: lvl 12 and 22.
5. Sell extras at proper store for more INF.

Why buy on levels ending in 2 and 7? Easy you get levels ending in 2, 3, and 4s all in green, levels ending in a 2 & 7 it is like having a ++ slotted enhancement, levels ending in 3 & 8 is like having a + slotted enhancement, and levels ending in 4 & 9 is just like a single enhancement. Now levels that end in 5 & 0s are a bit tricky because they are white, meaning that you are getting just the base enhancement advantage for that level. While levels ending in 1 & 6 are yellows meaning you are getting a bit of penalty for not being current.

Why not buy on levels ending in 3 & 8? Well for one you are losing one level of + to each enhancement. Okay, so you say, I can’t add my “drops” to my lvl 2s and 7s enhancements. You are correct, but you can hold on to them or sell them. Unless you are getting enough “drops” to cover half or more of you enhancements you are, in my opinion, just wasting INF.

And some of you will say, “Yeah, but on levels 3 & 8 I buy + enhancements to be extra strong in that enhancement.” Okay but here is what you are really doing, your paying double for same number of levels to be ++, +, green, white, and yellow as you would if you bought them on levels ending in 2s and 7s. Trust me on this one, if it is getting confusing at this point.

They only time that I honesty suggest buying + and ++ enhancements is on levels 48 and 49, to give you your level 50+ and 50++ enhancements.

The HD definitely lives, which is great news!

I need to sort out what kit to buy (and just how much I want to spend on it ). Might be a while before the site is back up as don't want to rush into buying something that isn't going to be reliable long term -- but everything will be back ... (I'm so tempted to say "soon" lol).


Ooo, a package? For me!

Shortly thereafter ....

*Invests three pennies, buying 0.0000000000001 shares of Google*
