I'll participate in that 1 too


[/ QUOTE ]

Depending on how the hero side one go's and how my gaming time this weekend pans out I may possibly do one on villain side. Will announce atleast an hour or so in advance if so.

[ QUOTE ]
So question Cherry? Do you plan on running this only on hero side or on hero and villain side?

If answer is only hero side then I call first dibs for villain side.

Anyways here is the only char I have that has a bio at this point. If I can post the other ones without a Bio for now let me know. Because I think that you would really like them as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

Post the ones without the bio and if they are a top contender I will send you a p.m. and let you know to get a bio posted for that particular one so you are within the rules.

Names and costumes are what is most important to me and I don't want to miss out on one that might be the "one" because of a hangup on a bio. However I have to keep the rules across the board fair...again ill message you if you need to finish the submission.

Don't you feel a bit silly about this part?

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't read the wall of text but this part caught my eye. I don't find anything silly about it at all. This may just be a game but people have feelings, people get attached. People make friends.

This game is an investment of time. I remember back in the day when I invested so much hard work, planning, and time in to hami raids and a certain individual seemed hellbent on making that experience suck, while I never actually cried tears I can remember being extremely upset several times , about a video game. Emotions don't go away when you log in. People are people regardless.

I see some hawt entries! Keepem comin!

Your avatar is just....wrong.

Seeing as you have 50mill to offer which is 50 mill more then the 17 mill I have and a Purp LOL ima make yo [censored] a costume!

Also! What are your fav colors, this will help determine best looking costume to you.

So give me your top 4 colors and Ill work on it

[/ QUOTE ]

My favorite colors are hot pink, purple, torquoise and black.

To post the picture you have to use a free service like photo bucket. (www.photobucket.com). You load your picture to their site and then post the link here in your post. You do that by taking the link they give you at photobucket and you click "URL" from the list of Instant UBB Codes right below where you type your post here. You paste your link to your pic in there and then select a word to represent your pic.

Mary Estava was a lowly UPS clerk in Talos before a seismic rupture released a demonic presence into her office, slowly altering her mind and body until smoke and fire hovered around her everywhere she went. Knowing that being flammable in the package business wouldn't work out, she donned some shades and took to fighting for the good of Paragon.

Earth/Rad Troller -- Hurraydium -- Pic

Tried that and looked like an [censored].... and guys dont really take a liking to girls doing the picking up as a general rule ive found!

[/ QUOTE ]

And every single time a guy gets shot down, he feels the exact same way.

You want the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Then try, try, try, try, try again. If you want to be a brain surgeon, truly want it more than anything, you have to put in 13 years of dedicated work of 12-16 hours a day flat broke before you'll even get the opportunity to start practicing for the big dance. Along the way, you'll spend hours reading, writing, and hearing some of the most boring stuff imaginable. If you truly want to find that person, think of it like a job. It takes a little bit of effort every single day.

BA mentioned not being able to find how to segue into a date from a new conversation. Practice. Strike up a new conversation every single day with a pretty girl. Hell, do it with girls that are completely out of your league. The more you get in the situation, the more comfortable you'll feel. Once you reach that comfort level, the segue will become natural. Seriously.

Girls, ask guys out. So what if you feel like an [censored] because some dude said no? You obviously didn't know him very well before hand, so who cares what he thinks of you now? Imagine if you were traveling in Europe when you happened to meet Random Dude in a grocery store/book store/coffee shop/estate sale/whatever. Would you care what he thought of you if you were leaving town the very next day and were sure to never see him again?

If you're a person who freezes when that hottie looks at you, try coping mechanisms to relax. Nervous to talk to this person who obviously is better than you in every way, shape, or form (in your opinion)? They do stupid stuff too. The gorgeous girl who should be in movies has spilled a cup of juice down her shirt, walked into a wall, and clogged up a toilet before. The buff piece of manmeat in front of you in line works out 4 hours a day because he's as insecure about his body as you are and could identify just as many things wrong about himself as you can about yourself. In all honesty, he probably actually thinks he's fat and looks at his butt in the mirror every day and thinks it looks big in certain pairs of jeans. Think about your most mortifying moment, and realize that this person that is currently causing you to sweat in inappropriate places has a memory just as bad. Just before you walk up to talk to them, think about how mortified they must have been and how you would have laughed at the dumb thing just like all the other witnesses did.

Then, just say hi, and ask them a question. Ask them where they got their glasses, shoes, broccoli, Dostoyevsky. When they name a place or point at the bin next to them that you just retardedly didn't notice before you asked (read the signs, people), ask a follow up question of whether they liked the doctor, selection, how to tell which head of broccoli will taste best (even if you know, duh), or how to pronounce Dostoyevsky. If they're answering questions, they'll engage in the conversation, and that can lead to the swapping of stories. If you reach that point, you're golden. Simply say you've got to run, give them your number, and say you enjoyed talking with them and would like to continue this conversation sometime later. Thank them and move on with your day. Now, it doesn't matter if they call or not. Do the same thing the next day. With time, someone will call. You'll also get better at handling the situation because your stories will become practiced. You'll know that talking about broccoli inevitably leads to a comparison to hemorrhoids and should be avoided in the future. Dostoyevsky can be great if you actually can hold your own when it turns out the person specializes in classical Russian literature. The more practiced you become, the better your response rate will become. From there, dates will bloom and you'll get practice at first/second/third dates.

The myth, the real conspiracy theory, is that people find their special someone by being suave and smooth. That's not the real you, and the person you're with will see through that quite quickly. James Bond does not actually exist. Instead, realize that everyone is a dork. Everyone. Whether they're obsessed with guns, comic books, fish, motorcycles, high fashion, purple, or broccoli that looks like hemorrhoids, they're a total dork about something. Find it and let them talk about it for hours. They'll love that you listen so well, you'll really learn something about them, and your nerd obsession will now be comparable to some embarrassing obsession of theirs.

Also, I do not play WoW. My Little Pony all the way.

Ping you really are one smart [censored]. Really. I don't know how a [censored] like you has so much common sense and real life understanding, especially to be so young.

Yeah I know its not game related but what better place can I find willing and eager computer geeks willing to share their knowledge?

Anyways I am writing on a blog site that allows html code but has no color options for font. So I assume the only way to change my font color is to use some kind of html code which I do not know how to do.

Anyone have a simple html code that will make my entire post one color of my choosing? Something where I can just change the color text or the color code to the color of my choosing. I tried to figure out how to do it , but in my search all I am finding is how to change specific parts of a page instead of just being able to have all of the post one color.

I'm really bad with the wooing and flirtation process, so I try to have real dialog rather than suave flattery or small talk.
Rarely goes well.

I have my moments where I just wanna cut the [censored] and take this route...I agree. Never works well.

[/ QUOTE ]

It all depends on the type of woman you want; personally I'd rather be straightforward and honest and be able to talk about anything. I'm not a touchy-feely kinda girl though, and most flattery is bs that I don't appreciate. I've got to find a nice guy who loves comic books, action movies, and believes that honor, dignity and personal responsibility still exist. If he can read more than five books in a year and discuss current world affairs without insulting those with differing opinions... I think I'd swoon.

I told my mother that if I ever got married that I'd like to get hitched in a Las Vegas chapel while dressed as a superhero/Elvis/alien, etc. Something fun and crazy. I have the feeling that I'm never getting married, lol.

Not enough money.

And, provide a list of the purples you have that will be in this random selection.

Picking one Fortunata Hypnosis from a stockpile of sixteen isn't all that enticing.

[/ QUOTE ]

I won't be providing any fortunata hypnosis. Only thing I have stockpiled are ones that I am collecting to use myself. Ragnarok's, hetacombs, armageddons and appocolypse's, and the pet ones.

As far as its not enough money, I don't run events to be participated in solely for the prizes. I want to be able to run more events, not go broke in one event. 50 million will pretty much always be the cap in any event I run for one prize. Being I only play COH part-time any more (at best) and don't farm or play the market...yeah can't compete with huge prizes and still be able to run multiple events each month.

So question Cherry? Do you plan on running this only on hero side or on hero and villain side?

If answer is only hero side then I call first dibs for villain side.

[ QUOTE ]
What a lazy-butt.

[/ QUOTE ]

I will accept that from you being you have made me a costume and toon name before when I was at a loss. :-) (One of my toons got zapped with the name nerf bat for having an inappropriate name and tom came up with the new name HotRadKat and her fire suit too. ) :-)

Ya know you wanna enter TomerZ! Dooo Eeettt!

Well I haven't ran a pve event in the past 2 months and am at a loss as to what to run. Seems like at some point I have already ran everything there is to run, or there are other people already running what comes to mind.

So instead I thought I would run a selfish forum contest. I say selfish because there is something in it for me. :-)

I suck at costumes, toon names, bio's etc. I am about to make another new toon and need a name, costume and bio for it. I will pick which toon I am going to make based on who wins this contest. That of course is going to be the one that intrigues me the most.

Possible toon builds I am considering making-

<ul type="square"> [*] Bots/Storm Mastermind[*] Mind/energy Dominator[*] Fire/storm Controller[*] Arachnos Widow (Fortunata)[*] Earth/Rad Troller[/list]
**Prays to the COH Gawds to please do some more power sets soon, such slim pickings left that I don't already have at 50**

I like all of the above equally and will not be basing my decision on the build, but strictly on the theme name/costume/bio's that are presented.

Prizes

<ul type="square">
[*] $50,000,000 INFLUENCE + 1 random purple recipe.
(I will take all of the purple recipes that I have in my stockpile and put them on one toon, winner will be told to pick a number from 1-however many I have. Whatever number they pick, gets them the recipe that is in that order in my stockpile.)[/list]
Rules

<ul type="square"> [*] Entries must be received by 07/20/09 (short notice but yeah double xp weekend is upon us.)[*] Each entry must list what power set it is for, a toon name, a bio and a costume. [*] Pic of costume must be posted and a list of the specific costume selections must be listed as well. This is imperative being I suck at costumes and do not know the costume editor like some of you do.[*] Toon must be a female toon.[*] Toon name must be available on champion, reserve it and hold it for me please.[*] No dashes or numbers or any other retarded things added to toon name to get it to work because someone else already beat you to it.[*] Kitty or Kitkat worked in to the name is a plus, but if it doesn't work with your concept idea, no worries. It will not impact my judging decision either way.[*] No monsters, or monster parts or ugly toons please. I play with the camera directly behind my toon and I am conceited and don't like to look at ugly stuff. Seriously.[*] I hate toons with big boobies. Seriously. Turn the slider down. :-)[*] Have fun![/list]

But when people start taking my event thread and taking personal pot shots at each other it hurts my feelings and truly upsets me. I deal with CK regularly, as well as you Felecia. I have never been rude or insulting to anyone. And I feel it was very rude and I am VERY insulted that you felt the need to take my event thread and make it your personal page to insult other members of this server and other player event groups. That is all!


[/ QUOTE ]

Something tells me something was deleted that your thread is probably truly happy I missed seeing. :-)

Now on to this contest. I am still confused, so can I get some more specific clarification.

Are you looking for an existing character that is always running to the rescue to help, team, teach, etc? Kind of how Cobalt always runs to help fight GM's? If this is so then I think that is where the confusion is because it really isnt the character that is doing that but the person behind the mask that is.

Or are you looking for an existing character that has a bio, costume etc that when you read it and look at it the theme says "hero", or "helpful" etc.?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, some stuff was deleted. It's better that way, Promise.

Honorable, not helpful. Honor before glory. Costume / Bio / Name I assume all should lend toward someone going, "Yeah, that'd be what I'd call an Honorable Hero."

We're not talking about most helpful or best admired "Players" but rather, Toon overall concept.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ty for the clarification, now it makes a lot more sense.

I might actually fork the 10 bucks out to change a toon name for this being it has to be lvl 35 to compete. I suck at costumes though, might have to cheat and get Tomerz to help me once I do a name and bio. :-)

I definitely was lol'n my [censored] [censored] off. The funniest moment to me was when Gulver first died. He/she really did get 1 shotted pretty much. Was at full health one second and dead the next. Ambush spawned right on his/her head, seconds after one spawned on me and one shottted all my pets...luckily I was poppin greens while running screaming like a little girlie to the vators though, just barely escaped.

Alright I have given some thought to who :

1) Strives to make new heroes welcome
2) Teams often &amp; assists others in completing challenging tasks, and
3) coordinate with one another to make Champion stand out among the rest as one of City of Heroes' most honorable servers;

and unmistakably one person stand out among the rest:

CriticalKat

As our (former) PERC representative, this player has gone out of their way and donated their precious play time to creating a game atmosphere for the betterment of the game. Regardless of your personal feelings of the player, their contribution is undeniable. Therefor I nominate that character.

What time? And count me in. I only have a fire/psy and a thugs/poison on villain side. But have been wanting to do this. Had one successful run with Vori a long time ago in like 20 mins, and all 3 attempts since then have been with unsuccessful PUGS.

**edited because I was having a just woke up nub moment.

I don't remember where, but when I first read about this many months ago I believe there was a basic concent from NCSoft at the time. I can't remember what/when/where, but I remember when I read it I was pretty pissed off that they would support this without giving some type of warning to the players that they could possibly be part of this.

In fact, I believe there was an actual article of some sorts posted by NCSoft in support of this.
