I could make a commercial for the game. Of course it'd be seen by like 3 people on youtube and no more :P

Heck, if it turns out that immortal women are just hopped up on powerful levels of estrogen and testosterone all the time, then the question of who Statesman dates could be moot. It could be whichever immortal woman gets to him first.
This could make for some interesting fanfic, anyway.

Happy birthday, War Witch! One advantage to being a ghost, you don't look a day over... however old you are.

BTW, Black Pebble... for an idea of how to promote the upcoming GOING ROGUE expansion, check out what your sister studio did for AION's "Assault on Balaurea." This shows in-game stuff, with a large helping of epic.
The Official Aion Trailer for "Assault on Balaurea"
THIS is the kind of thing I'd love to see for GOING ROGUE or other major issues/expansions for COH.

Since when is slash-fic a "love story"?Quote:
Dark_Respite needs the nerd hierarchy chart:
Sorry, I'm already inciting potential rioting and mudflinging by giving Positron a love life (and to a lesser degree, Synapse). I would probably be shot, lynched, or thrown off a building if I took it on myself to write a love story for Statesman.
**runs and hides**
I may write the two of them as a double-act, but not THAT kind of double-act, thank you very much. (And I don't write slash-fic.)

Quote:I agree with B... for A, though, I'm more inclined to agree with TheDeepBlue, below...Originally Posted by TheDeepBlue
The given reasons for that are A) Positron was preserved inside his suit while unstable, and B) Synapse's altered biology keeps him in good shape.
That's my take on it, anyway. That and that when the Dark Watcher resurrects him, he resurrects him at the age he was when he lost control of his powers, some 5-6 years earlier.Quote:Originally Posted by TheDeepBlue
I think it had something to do with Positron being in some sort of energy state inside the armor.

not a bad find, Ironblade.
I was going to say Lady Grey, but Marcus, though usually noble of spirit, might not measure up to her Victorian aristocracy.
I'm thinking more and more that this question of Stateman's potential partner might just fall into the realm of Dark_Respite.

"All right, you primitive NPCs, listen up! You see this? This... is my banstick! The 256-bit SSL-encrypted Banhammer. NCsoft's top of the line. You can find this in the customer service department. That's right, this sweet baby was issued in Mountain View, California. Retails for about thirty-six five a year, plus benefits. It's made of solid white ash, a sponge for player blood and tears, and a wicked sting. That's right. Shop soft. Shop NCsoft. You got that?"

Hire Dark_Respite to make videos to advertise the game.
Besides, I'm moving to Seattle at the end of June in search of employment (there is NOTHING for me or John here in Phoenix - at least up there I stand a better chance of getting a job).
You'd be better off calling for Marketing to really start taking advantage of David's team to crank out vids for the game. David's got some great ideas for videos.

It's most likely coz it's a holiday weekend and the a**hats are just taking advantage of the hope that the mods are all on a three-day weekend. Ocho, however, after I PMed him earlier this morning about this mess, is doing what he can to stay on top of things (or call in help as needed).
EDIT: Incidentally, question - how about limiting trial accounts to a) not being able to start threads except in PLAYER QUESTIONS, and b) limiting how many posts per day they can make?

I'd created a similar thread a while back... there are some seriously spiffy places in the game. I can't wait for GR, with all new locations to discover!

Oh, were you asking how to ignore someone in the game? Or on the forums?
On the forums - the way I showed you. In the game, just click on their name and select Ignore (or Ignore as Spammer if they're doing the whole RMT thing and you want to report them).
Michelle

Go to their profile page.
You'll see SEND MESSAGE and USER LISTS.
Under USER LISTS, select ADD TO IGNORE LIST.
Voila, done.
While this will block their actual posts from appearing (you'll see a space saying so-and-so has posted, but you won't see the text), it will NOT stop said person's posts from appearing in quotes.

Hmm...
"Castle" -- powers designer...
"Rook" -- name BillZ wants, who would probably do something with game balance...
"pohsyb" -- programmer, "Byshop" backwards...
I guess that means I should pick up thgynk, then?

Quote:Oh that was YOU! (Ironically, that was the only negative rep I received for that post, despite what I'd thought. The rest was positive. Much to my astonishment.)Originally Posted by Tenzhi
And for the record, I once gave Dark_Respite negative rep. Not out of malice, or even dislike of the comment in question, but rather because she said she was expecting it and I just had to oblige.
That's okay, though - I've gotten seriously dissed via neg rep. But I don't lend much credence to peope whose idea of criticism is "u suk."
Michelle

Unfortunately, most people don't sign their rep comments (especially the negative ones). Mine fluctuates wildly but I just leave it. Either people will like something I post, hate something I post, or ignore it altogether. The ones who REALLY dislike me will just put me on /ignore (a very handy feature, btw).
So don't let the rep thing get to you - if, however, while checking your rep, you get something excessive (racist, hate crime, etc), report your post with the rep in question and notify a mod.

Quote:It's a riot - you need about 20 people to mark off the course, however many Khelds wanna race, and an equivalent number of /kins with SB at the starting line. The Khelds transform into Lobster form, do the /benchsit emote (I think), and then move around without breaking the emote. Line everyone up in the street in front of Atlas' statue (other side of the fence), sound off to make sure everyone's ready, each Kheld gets nailed with SB, and WHOOOSH off they go!Originally Posted by Muon_Neutrino

I miss organizing Lobster Races in Atlas Park. The sheer volume of WTF responses from seeing a fleet of speedboosted Lobster-form Kheldians zooming around Atlas (in the seated position) along a preset course was just wonderful fun.

I'm trying to imagine what this looks like. I'm pretty sure I'm failing, but the mental image is still one of the funniest things I've run into this week.
Somewhere I might still have footage I shot of one of these, to the tune of the B-52's "Rock Lobster."

Positron wears armor, but that's really all he shares with Iron Man. He's more like Reed Richards: a scientist rather than an engineer.

There is only one name I would ever be satisfied with, assuming I couldn't keep one of my original character names. And I've called dibs on it ever since I first had delusional fantasies about working at Paragon...
