the ability to drop a mission I wish I hadn't taken would be absolutely amazing. I'd want it even if it costs some influence.

I also like the sound of the rest of the changes. With the slider, this should make soloing much more fun :-)

"Sup bro?" Misspelling and improper grammer, common phrase. "How you doin?".. the list goes on and on. Current English grammar is far removed from its predecessor. The Educational system may try to dictate what is "proper" grammar, but those of us talking amongst ourselves on the streets and in the workplaces rarely pay attention, hence the evolution is taking place.

You're confusing dialect, spoken language and actual mistakes. Misuse of the apostrophe can cause even more ambiguity than is already present in English, and thus should be discouraged, IMO.

As regards the 5th column - since so many people are of the opinion that they're too easy, perhaps this is a story-based excuse to make them stronger. Either that or it's a story-based excuse to get rid of them entirely, or replace them with something nastier. I'd happily see any of these alternatives - it would be good to know that the world of City of Heroes isn't as unchanging as it sometimes seems. Villain groups should come and go, maybe one day we'll even manage to reclaim one of the hazard zones.

Actually, serious begging plea here - reclaim Perez Park! Or at least burn down all the trees.

The Wrong Trousers

Leader: Eliza Bennet
Contact: Forum PM to me, in-game email or tell
Motto: Always check what's in your wardrobe
Purpose: To assemble a group of players who can team up and do well together, and most importantly those who can have fun. This is not intended to ever grow particularly large.
Requirements: All you need is a sense of humour and fair play, and a reasonable grasp of your archetype. People with some kind of character concept preferred; take the effort to write your character a bio. Mature players preferred; I don't care what your physical age is provided you can behave sensibly in the game. No requirements on playtime or level, although low-level characters will need to demonstrate a good grasp of the game or an ability to learn. It is preferred for you to wear the group colour scheme when teamed with another group member. Use as little or as much group colour as you wish; bonus points if your outfit looks like your trousers don't match (assuming your outfit includes trousers). Some understanding of where the group name comes from and what it relates to would be helpful, but is not essential.
Rules: Members shall not get involved in other peoples' fights except where, for example, the other hero(es) have no chance of survival whatsoever. Members shall not teleport people without their consent except again when believed necessary to prevent death. It follows that if you are asked if you want a tp, reply yes or no rather that just ignoring the question, as this tends to irritate the potential tper. Members shall not engage in abuse of other players whether members of the SG or not, for any reason whatsoever. Some friendly teasing is permissable, especially with people you know well.
Structure: As I have no members at all yet (very sad me even posting this isn't it) I've yet to determine how this is going to work. For the time being, what the leader says goes.
How to Join: Express interest, play on a team with a suitably designated SG member. If you show suitable abilities and attitude you will be invited to join.
