Dark Shade

In honor of Talk like a Pirate Day... an appropriate bit of inspiration:

Hoist the Colors!

If the skies suddenly change color, stand under a bridge, or next to the big truck, someone or some force is trying to end the world.

Never question the ability of Architects and Construction builders to somehow fit a massive multi-level base with miles of corridors and generators into a 2 or 3 story building.

That 20 meter cave will hide a Oranbegan ruin with caverns larger then most apartments.

MAGI's vault can't be trusted, neither can the Bank's vault. But you can trust the Vault in the Base to store your valuables.

Certain items can spontaneously start glowing and going whoo-whoo-whoo and give you neat stuff if you give them a thump.

If it glows, don't drink it.
If it fizzes, don't touch it.
If its a girdle of power, thimble of might, helmet of strength, belt of beauty, don't wear it.
If its a couldren of love, run away. FAST!

In any one working day, you can encounter a dozen 'gods', 'demi-gods', 'demons', 'devils' and other celestial beings. Don't insult or tempt them.

Corporations aren't to be trusted. Particularly Portal and Crey. (They must have excellent PR and lawyers to remain in business.)

Don't wear Leather near Snakes.

Arcanaville is never, ever, wrong.

Drink Enriche.

I have but one add:


I'll go looking for you. I'll might find something. There are some people I've grabbed over the years that I've lost touch with. I've got tonnes of files.

Michelle,

Let me echo the sentiments said by others above... you are one of the best representatives of the CoH community. Just a few days ago, I was going back over your vids and how to guides with a grin on my face. (Obligatory comment: They should have hired you long ago )

Characters of mine have been in videos of yours before. However, I will personally send you an updated demorecord of my characters for you to use as needed... even if they are dummies in the background, or waving at the end or however you need. You have full control over them.

I'm not on Liberty but say the word and I'll help where ever I can.

Regards,

Shader

Finally got my codes (Got into my account! Yay! Had to wait around for the password change to go through.)

I used two codes for my two VIP accounts. Copied the first wall of codes to Notepad and started at the top and just worked my way down picking at random (jumping bunches of codes) until I got two that worked. ... took under 20 tries once I got in.

Last code used: 34CJ-FLRH-ZWHU-HA4K-J964 (Its mine now!!!)

My problem is the NCSoft website won't let me in.

Its all set up on my home computer, but on this laptop that I'm using while I'm away from home base? ... No such luck.

How much of the game do you have to install to get to the Paragon Market? I've got maybe 2.5 gigs left before this data plan I'm on starts to burn a hole in my pocket.

Mark me down as another one that the website won't let me in. "Unknown email address (or account name) or password." Only been playing the game for how long now?? Ok, admittedly I'm on vacation atm so I can't actually get into the game to try via Paragon Market, but still...

Frustrated.

Actually I think the correct passage is...

Kirk: How much refit time before we can take her out again?
Scotty: Eight weeks, sir... but ya don't have eight weeks, so I'll do it for ya in two.
Kirk: Mr. Scott. Have you always multiplied your repair estimates by a factor of four?
Scotty: Certainly, sir. How else can I keep my reputation as a miracle worker?

This has affected at least one of my characters as well. I logged in, saw the trays had been wiped, went wth? and then in short order tried to make some semblance of order... nothing like what it was.

<luke voice>NNNNOOOOOO!!!</luke>

All the best in your future endeavors Avatea. Your presence will be missed.

As for getting past the great firewall of China... StrongVPN.

Many Congratulations SteelClaw. Well Done!

Good luck with the Incarnate stuff.

*looks around and ponders for a moment*

...

Soooo.... can we blame the Coming Storm, the various shifting in market prices, and any future unpleasantness on you now, since you did the impossible and hit 50 with one of your Tournament characters... Right?

*readies pitchfork*

I got 3 characters that meet the brief of either being felines or having feline traits... but let me guess: I'm too late to be included even if over the next week I whip up character reference sheets?

Just to turn this on its head for a moment... how many of the movies listed in the thread has Zwillinger seen?

A few more to toss into the melting pot:

• Short Circuit 1 and 2
• The Untouchables
• Robocop
• Hook
• Beauty and the Beast
• Aladdin
• Groundhog Day
• The Firm
• The Fugitive
• Jurassic Park
• The Lion King
• Clear and Present Danger
• Apollo 13
• Johnny Mnemonic
• Jumanji

All are considered classics or must sees according to various people... or can induce rather intense discussion on the merits of being called a "classic".

Le sigh.

Yet another competition where in the fine print it says must be in America to win... even though I have a shipping address in the USA, because I live in Australia, I'm not allowed to enter.

Looks at the download remaining box: 448:55 remaining .... that's what? 18 days and change, assuming I don't stop or crash at some point... @.@

At this rate I'm never going to be getting in to Beta.

*thumps connection* work faster!

*Raises hand*
If you need any of my 20+ alts and any of their costumes let me know I'll come running. Always ready to help.
I even have a few characters collecting dust on Justice... just not 50s though as my main is Virtue.

Sad to see you go EMPulse, but good luck with the baby. May fortune smile on you and your family, and may any who wish you and yours ill suffer many terrible accidents that can't be traced to you.

bAss,

How on earth did you get that 'two glowing pin-pricks inside a shadowy hood' effect? I've been trying just about everything in the costume editor and I can't get the same effect.

Signed.

This is an excellent idea. I personally have several characters that would love to do

At least there is chance for some people to get a badge. Due to family complications and time zone issues I'm likely to miss both the invasion and then the badge award window by a matter of hours.

Family first though.

I saw this news when it first hit Twitter and the other media outlets and had yet to appear on these boards. Needless to say I was impressed and touched. I was even more moved when I saw the announcement here with links to other places where we could donate.

Thank you for the wonderful game, and the generous spirit you have shown.

I agree that Tug would have won the thread if NCSoft hadn't won it already. Hat's off to you.

I'm already taking a hard look at my budget to see what I can shake loose.
