Been playing secret world, interesting, hard, not 4 color super heros though. Gods.

Say hi to her Flea, and the whole gang, and thanks for letting an old man into the fold for a while. Hope to see you somewhere....Maybe Jack wil have to live in the Secret World now, he doesn't yet.

I still log in a couple times a month. Haven't really run incarnate Jack to his logical end and end up playing concepts a lot. Though I am sorta working on a MM Doc Wolfe to offset that moron Crom (heya Ascendant), he is a science hero type with lots o gadgets and robots.

Hmm flops, AI, how about an AI bot based on an old TI99 Sinclair that can barely function but somehow wins. Thread was worth it for that, and the formation of the league of obsolete tech.

Well in the whole release time of the game, no ones ever asked me to change my name. Not even when it was just Jack Wolfe, and every tell or accidental macro aimed at Jack Wolfe, he of respecs, ended up in my private channel, Course I was Jack before there was a Jack NPC, and to stop the tells I did add the Dr. to my global since it was already part of his back story. But in general I think the the Devs at ok with same names. Ghost Widow seemed to like Jack.

Woot,
Are you looking fer interactive RP or story based? Cause I'm bit burned out on the whole RP thing, but if you need an experienced bright shiny to bounce stuff off of in a storyline feel free ta write Jack. He's about as good a foil for a lawyer as you kin get. -
Quote:I actually agree with this. Might I suggest that if your critical thinking about this situation and deep analysis of yourself has led you to the conclusion that correcting or pointing out stupidity of the backstory of someone you don't know in a pretendy fun time game is correct action, as opposed to not associating said person, then you need to rerun your subroutine.Well, if someone smells like a poop sandwich, you'd be amazed how long it'll take before someone says something about it. Until then, that someone just goes around smelling like a poop sandwich, not knowing that they are offending to everyone else.
Checks and balances, man! You don't know you're incorrect until someone corrects you.
Just part of growing up. You know, the whole identifying one's self, applying critical thinking to situations, analyzing yourself critically and how you behave in other situations... that stuff.
Noone,'cept maybe your SO and MoM, can force you to associate with someone in this game. We're not talking about poop people your forced to interact with, a two man lift procedure at work, violence on a basketball court( although I find elbows more effective then tackling), or anything else that can impact you. Your examples don't hold up in the context of a game that gives you the ability to literally act as if some doesn't exist
To take the metaphor to the same silly level as poop people but the other direction, what if you think their religion (part of a persons back story)is stupid, or don't like the person they chose to sleep with? Has growing up obligated you to point out those flaws? Actually, I sorta wish I thought the religion to character backstory link was a little more of a stretch. With lots of RPr types it is not.
Anyway, this was fun
Love and peace

Quote:And a good troll it is. Growing up is about checking other people's stupidity? Really? Life isn't about play how you want but playing how others want? Really? In a game with an open and creative history tha encourages people to do what they want and express themselves you're gonna go with that?Part of growing up is realizing that you don't have to respect other people's choices, and in fact you shouldn't respect other people's choices. Just respecting other people's choices doesn't bring to light the idiocy in them, and thus doesn't provide a check for widespread stupidity. People have to learn that life isn't about "playing how you want" but it is really about "playing how others want". You think a manager will hire you at a new job if you refuse to do the job their way? But think about how many friends that one guy who pees in the corner of the room, doesn't bathe regularly, and refuses to play basketball unless he gets to tackle people has. That's right: none. But hey, he's just living ...
We are not talking about a set of rules on a game court (or hell even in game), or a process in a factory, or even disgusting social flaws, we're talking about a creative endevors by a mixed bag of folks from age 7 to 70 whose outcome has no impact on your game. So I'f someone wants to make an AI running at 1 flop they can, you can choose to ignore them., but don't come to the public forum and "help" them cause your way is best/only way, that's about you not them.
I cut the OP some slack, mostly cause of the 7 to 70 thing, they may not be aware how these tup proclamation posts come across. For the record though, some thethe best, most creative role players I've seen in this game in the last, god almost, 10 years counting beta, stepped well outside the lore, but made it work. Then there is Flea.
And the bunny ears disturbme in a profound way that I don't quite get....childhood trauma I think. -
You know, I'm a quiet occasional even rare player these days, but after over 7 years (almost 7 at 50 now) I just had my first bad pug experience. Normally I take what Narlok says with a grain of salt, but after being called "****** Roleplayer" because I dared to use a taunt bind with a local component. I don't know anymore.

Lizzie will take almost anyone home and feed them pop tart pie, even flea

The Psychic defense thing is you know creepo defense and, like all these rules, applies to people you know. But let me tell you it only takes one (1) icky tell to a female toon about dominateing her mind to make Immune to psychic defense thing seem ok. Of course the best to deal with creepo psi is to ignore on both RP and game engine level.
You know if HH if an SS level three every really hassles you tell him he has to beat the old guy in the corner first. -
Quote:I've seen a variation of this in the theater, but I can't remember the name. Saw most of hero movies they are best to worstI saw a movie from 2004 the other day called Warai no Daigaku (笑の大学). It's based on a two-man play, so almost the entire movie is a government censor and a playwright in a big sparse room interacting with each other to get a script approved. Hilarious and awesome.
Cap
Xmen
Thor
GL
The first 3 are all keepers, GL I enjoyed but feel guilty.
Typically wait for DVD for Harry, though I love the books. Same for the Comedies. -
((Fights in the D
Nope, I watch as all the attacks have no effect
Level
I like Eric....mm Ascendant's answer we really should do that the next time we have month. Or maybe Crom, that might be a good fight
Powers
Depends but yes. I play out vision power for an example of powers not in game, but the are passive. Retasking of in game powers for sure. Jack's powers are based on a singularity and gravity manipulation, that makes things like sands of mu and void judgement aspects of the black hole not darky dark force
Psi and Stealth
The psi thing, though not stated, is creepo defense and not a soils rule for me. Stealth if I see ya I see ya)) -
Nope I was here first, ok maybe 1000th, and I really don't have the time to rebuild elsewhere
-
Ohh a PCoHH (paragon certified City of Heroes Helper) test. We could run webinairs and charge for the test.....Then make them recert every few years. Nah that would be wrong.
I demand a title that says "Forgot" with a description that explains the 84 month badge doesn't mean I know the answer.
And yes I still want my missing forum posts back, maybe not the actual posts, but at least the count. -
I complain about ED weekly, course I used to have 90/70/70 resists and 52% def before powering up the toggles. Then there was that whole permanent unstoppable thing. Pre ED was awesome, course I could be wrong.
. Then there was the old pvp when they wouldn't modify a Tanks stats, let's just treat PCs as regular PvE mobs. Mmmm
After over 7 years this is the only game Ilay at least an hour a week( doesn't sound like much, but you know RL doesn't allow much more) and the only MMO I've bother to max a character in. I think the devs are doing a fine job keeping it at least interesting. I wish the RP were better, more universal, but that's as much a function of me being less out there as it is anything else -
Good lord we're raiding
1 for 1 on BAF
0/1 on Lamda nova fist isn't a big deal....the adds are. Hope I get another shot, have to make it up to some folks. -
Meh, I was the tank, I'll take the blame, though I missed a lot going on in the league channel. Wait for the adds to clear, that Tidbit must have been part of the pre run briefing that I missed, sorry maybe if you'd said " don't forget wait till the adds are cleared" when you were tellin me what ta do with the grenades at the elevator.
Note to others, traded grenades appear in the powers tab, not in a tray so take a sec ta get organized. Also don't tank him, (though his vaunted nova fist alone wasn't enough to drop me...that and spitball though), kite him. I can see how the judgement powers would make taking him down easier. Just wipe out his backup much quicker, even if you didn't bring a lot of firepower along. -
Dr Jack Wolfe. 50*1. Tank I think
-
Stop it...though if his power were the ability to make several things happen at with impeccable timing he might be Coordinate

Except they bunch up like cheap stretched out spandex on that girl's loooong torso. God help me they need to be leather or tighter. Thank god for red boots

You know, it's hard to tell, I don't regularly read the comic, and when I do it's not clear. She still poses with the bracelets and deflects rays and stuff, but then she goes toe to toe with an enraged Superman. Sure he broke her arm, but she also survived a fall from low orbit in that fight. She clearly and regulary survives thing things that WAAYYYY over power a simple bullet. I get the feeling it's not set, it it's something about she has to be actively wanting to be invulnerable.

I do 't like it, not the costume design, but the fit. It's not doing, what I'm sure is an attractive woman, any favors. Her body is soooooo long and you end up with a yard of blue between her belt and crotch. That yard of blue just goes on and on and on. I'm also not in love with the actresses' face for Diana. Kind of oval and flat, I beleve she is actually a blond, and isn't doing it for me as a raven haired Greek goddess. I hope they take a step back, look at their actress and her body, and adjust. not gonna comment on "Allie McAmazon" show till I see it, but this take on the costume is a miss.
Oh, and do it in leather, the costume with the photoshopped "How I Met Your Mother" chick at least looks like some sorta armor like Diana wears now.
PS Bustier based armor is fine for chick that can trade blows with Superman. I mean the bracelet thing is cute, but not nessessary for WW to stop bullets anymore
