Clockwork O1

I am a sucker for a well-reasoned argument though.

No promises.

We'll look at it, the schedule is a harsh mistress.

Assault Rifle, Pulse Rifle, and Arachnos, we'll see.

At the very least your concern has been heard.

Hi Folks,

First of all, thanks for taking the time to provide us your input on the upcoming Retro Sci-Fi costume set! Dink has been looking forward to making this set, and just so you know, you’ll probably get a couple of bonus items in addition to the ones you voted for.

Without further ado, here’s what we’re planning to build and why!

Bubble Helmet B – This will be a detail 2 option in the standard heads category. Several hairstyles and head details are going to clip with it, but figure we’ll let you guys be the arbiters of what works there. We’ll likely make a version of this that does not include the vox-box on the collar detail.

Rocket Pack B – We’re going to build the B option, per your request. Because B and C share some very similar geo and it’s a very small leap, we’ll also be making option C. Obviously this does not directly reflect voting, but it’s bonus because of ease of implementation.

Space Suit B – We’re going to build Space Suit B. I haven’t quite worked out whether the shoulders will be a separate shoulder detail or built into the suit (that’ll sort that out over the course of building the suit.) Additionally, we’ll do our best to provide glow and non-glow versions of this suit. We also saw your request for the chest detail from Suit A as well, so we’re going to make that a stretch goal. You might get a little something-something from C as well (not the full suit, just a piece or two possibly), but we’ll let that be a surprise.

Ray Gun B – Ok, this is where things get a bit interesting, like the rocket pack, B and C share a lot of similar geo. We plan to build B both with and without the fin and with and without the glow on the rings, and because of that we’ll also build C with and without the fin. This will require us changing the shape of C slightly, giving it a back end more similar to B in order to minimize the extra work involved.

Ray Gun Rifle A – We’re going to build Rifle A, given the feedback about Rifle C we’re going to see what we can do about incorporating aspects of that Rifle into A as well. Specifically we’re going to try to incorporate the muzzle, stock, and the canister on top into a separate version of this gun.

What about the dress?!

It’s being built, with some additional components and pieces you haven’t seen, Dink is hard at work. She is also providing a new face or two as well.

Lastly, we recognize that people have very different ideas about rings, not rings, glow, and not-glow. Where possible we are going to try to provide as many with and without options as possible within the set.

The Gibbon dna has been removed from this foot model (not that I am anti-gibbon, they're a fine example of primate excellence), you should see this in an upcoming patch or ~I22 timeframe.

It requires the modification of every animation currently existing in the game to work with these movement modes.

Furthermore, it requires every new animation created in the game going forward to be created with these additional movement modes in mind, increasing the number of animations needed for every new power set, emote, etc.

This is not a simple request, it is an exponential increase in time and work for every new animation that is put into the game.

Only 1 nomination for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, I am disappointed.

Now granted it was for Gary Oldman, who was *amazing* in that movie, but that movie was so good on so many levels, I'm surprised it didn't get more recognition.

I still managed to get money with Alpha Wolf's name on it, so my prediction wasn't entirely untrue!

Playoff seeding:

Each playoff round involves two weeks worth of games, so best score across two weeks takes the match.

First up:
Los Gatos Bastardos (Clockwork 01) #4
vs
Philadelphia Stars (Skippy Sidekick) #1

Second up:
St. Martial Pai Gow (Alpha Wolf) #3
vs
SF RabidChihuahuas (Crosscheck) #2

I will have Alpha Wolf's money! My team is coming on strong the past few weeks (thank you waiver wire). Although having to beat Skippy's team is definitely putting a crimp in my plans.

Dog's out of the bag?

Just to clarify, nothing has changed on Street Justice since it was removed from beta in late August.

Zwil never lets me perform sociology experiments with our forum population.

We should probably do more testing, I'm not sure they're ready.

Alpha Wolf's money will be mine.

That is all.
