  1. I think I'll try to be there with Talon Pyre. Don't wait for me if I don't make it.
  2. Well, I'm back for the duration of the weekend. At least, I'll be on every now and again. Considering my fiancee's birthday is this weekend, I'm not sure how much time I'll have in game.

    See you around, Protector.
  3. I've had an idea for a few new characters, but I'm stumped for the names.

    I've got the build and a brief bio figured out, but the name escapes me.


    1st Character: A PETA Terrorist.

    Build: Plant/Thorn

    Bio: Fed up with the treatment of animals, (Insert Name Here) has decided to treat humanity the same way that they treat animals, with much wanton cruelty and suffering.

    2nd Character: A Militant Newfie.

    .. You know what, Militant Newfie is a good enough name already, Looks like it's only the first one that has me stumped.
  4. Not sure of the time, really. Depends on how many people are interested in running it.
  5. For those of you who weren't aware, Sixth has informed those of us on Jello Shooters that AlvinSAV was killed in a car accident yesterday. I quoted this poem when I heard of it, and I now post it as tribute.

    Farewell my Friend

    Farewell my friend,
    This is the end,
    We have travelled far together,
    And now our paths split.

    Perhaps we shall meet again,
    In some far away land,
    Perhaps one day,
    In some not so difficult times,
    We will dance and sing,
    And joke has we had before.

    Your wit will always be with me,
    And my wit will travel with you.
    For though we are apart,
    We will always be together,
    Through the wisdom that we shared.

    Written Febuary 14th 2005.

    In Memory of AlvinSAV
  6. *Snerk*

    How true, how true....
  7. Broken, but unbeaten
    Pride is the only thing
    That keeps me going
    Great losses have I endured
    Each one worse than the last
    But, I move on, inexorably
    Towards my ultimate goal
    Though I have suffered much,
    My warrior’s heart endures.

    Shadows always moving,
    Wicked plots all unfolding,
    I stand alone, opposing the dark.
    There were once those like me,
    But all lost heart.
    It takes a lot of effort,
    To bear a warrior’s heart.

    Never here nor there,
    I travel everywhere.
    But nowhere do I make my home,
    For I shall always be alone.
    All hope may be lost for some,
    But where I go, I bring it with me.
    This is where hope always lies,
    In this, the warrior’s heart.

    Darkness

    Anger is power,
    Though it consumes,
    All the wielder values,
    It destroys without regard,
    For Love, Hope, or Peace,
    A cleansing fire,
    A raging inferno.

    Hate gives strength,
    But it weakens the soul,
    Crushing the Light,
    Under the heel of Darkness.

    Fear brings power,
    Greater than that of Anger,
    Destroying all who dare,
    Face it alone.

    Love is weakness,
    Yet hides a secret,
    That crushes Anger, Hate and Fear,
    Trust fuels Hope,
    Hope fuels Love,
    Against this triad,
    The Dark cannot stand.

    To face the Dark,
    The warrior must know,
    Trust, Hope and Love.
    Courage and Strength
    Follow the one,
    Who acts without thought,
    Who surrenders his life,
    For the cause of the weak.

    The Darkness is doomed,
    Though not by defeat.
    Brought low from within,
    It ultimately fails.

    And finally:

    The Poet

    Alone, He writes.
    Pen touches paper,
    Words flow,
    From the heart.

    Pain is an instrument,
    And so is love.
    Anger and Happiness are
    Music to his ears.

    All of these are part,
    Of the Poet’s tune.

    In suffering are,
    The most beautiful,
    Words crafted.

    The Poet chooses the quiet,
    The still, the peaceful.

    Facing adversity and pain,
    He takes them, and writes in love.
    Inspiration to others,
    Though they know him not.

    This is the path few choose,
    And fewer still can master.
    Forever will he travel,
    Guiding those who,
    Come following ever after.
  8. Well, as my account expires tommorow, I'm going to do something different tonight.

    Anyone interested in running a Hess TF?

    I'd like to limit this to people on Jelllo Shooters, but if anyone else is interested, they're more than welcome.
  9. Am I serious?

    Yes. But not for a while yet. I've got other priorities. I'll let everyone know when I'll be putting it together.
  10. Well said, Sooner.

    As for me, the reason I play on Protector is basically because Korith had a few characters on this server, my twin, (Xylric, or Terwyn, as he goes by here.) was over on Pinnacle. I had played on Guardian for a while, but figured it would probably be easier to pick a server one of them was on so that I could team with them. So, I picked Protector, and haven't looked back.

    Besides, common sense dictates that there'll be idiots whereever you go, so you might as well get used to it. After all, I've done quite a few idiotic things here, some of which I regret, and others, I look forward to doing again. (All Blaster Posi, of course.)

    .... And did I just admit to having common sense? Something seems a little off, there...

    76 deaths out of 146 on an all blaster Posi.

    All of them mine. All of them well earned.

    All of them, totally, and utterly pointless.
  12. This would be from my main hero toon, Mentalshock.

    Quote:

    The small metallic orb before you hums, and when touched, a voice speaks into your mind.

    To Humanity,

    When I first came among you before this war began, I was greeted with such fear and hostility. Why? I do not know. Perhaps it was because I had the mind of an enemy, even though I wore the face of a friend. When the Rikti came, it became clear what I was. I was imprisoned and interrogated for what I knew. They banished me from my home, calling me traitor, branding me with the form of what we had once left behind. And yet, the people of this planet, saw me as a fearful thing of what they COULD be. My name is Men'tasok. I am...... was...... ...Rikti. I was...... AM.... Human. I was not released. I escaped. There are still those who view me as 'Hostis Humani Generis', an Enemy of All Mankind. This is..... not so. As I fled those who sought me, I came across the one designated Hero 1. Rather than fight me, as so many heros had done, he looked me in the eye, and TRUSTED me. He told me that he needed my knowledge to stop this, this pointless slaughter. Hear me, Humanity. You know me not. You greeted me as an alien, and sought to destroy me. Humanity, hear my words, and heed my thoughts. I go, to the world that abandoned me, to save a world that does not want me. Perhaps, it is in the sacrifice of one forgotten being, that peace may be forged. Perhaps, my name, will be the word that both our races lift together in friendship. "It is a far far better thing that I do, than I have ever done. It is a far, far better place that I go to, than I have ever known."

    For both our worlds, I shall forever be.... a martyr.

    *Praetoria? A parallel universe, for certain, but not truly parallel. It strikes me as being more of a... more of a glimpse of things as they might have been. Would I have a counterpart there? I suspect I would. Would he be as I am now? Or would he actually be as I was originally? Would he be good, or would he be evil? There is only one thing that I am certain about.* Praetoria:Threat: Human/Rikti Peace.

    After speaking with this hero, I travelled to Grandville to interview one of the more recent world-class villains. After waiting in the customs queue for several hours, I was finally given clearance to enter.

    Quote:
    Heh, Praetoria's nothing special. If I can go toe to toe with Recluse and hand him his own head, and if I can rip Statesman's ears off, why should I be worried about some goons who haven't the courage to invade? Sure, there's plots and stuff, but really, I get the chance? I'm going over there, and taking that throne for myself.

    Talon Pyre - Natural Claws/Fire Brute
    Unfortunatly, after speaking with him, I discovered I did not have clearance to actually LEAVE Grandville. So, if you can, do me a favour and send Longbow!
  14. The first Monday Night Mayhem shall start at 8:00 EST tonight in Grandville.
  15. What about the

    'Offer me Money'
    'Yes.'
    'Power too, Promise me that!'
    'All that I have and more, Please!'
    'Offer me everything I ask for!'
    'Anything you want'
    'I want my father back you son of a *****!'
    *STAB*

    That's also cool.
  16. My favorite quotes are almost all entirely from the same movie....

    Oskar Schindler: Stern, if this factory ever produces a shell that can actually be fired, I'll be very unhappy.

    Itzhak Stern: It's Hebrew, it's from the Talmud. It says, "Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire."

    Oskar Schindler: I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don't know. If I'd just... I could have got more.
    Itzhak Stern: Oskar, there are eleven hundred people who are alive because of you. Look at them.
    Oskar Schindler: If I'd made more money... I threw away so much money. You have no idea. If I'd just...
    Itzhak Stern: There will be generations because of what you did.
    Oskar Schindler: I didn't do enough!
    Itzhak Stern: You did so much.
    [Schindler looks at his car]
    Oskar Schindler: This car. Goeth would have bought this car. Why did I keep the car? Ten people right there. Ten people. Ten more people.
    [removing Nazi pin from lapel]
    Oskar Schindler: This pin. Two people. This is gold. Two more people. He would have given me two for it, at least one. One more person. A person, Stern. For this.
    [sobbing]
    Oskar Schindler: I could have gotten one more person... and I didn't! And I... I didn't!


    A few from an assortment of other films

    DuPont: And you, Preston, the supposed savior of the resistance, are now its destroyer, and, along with them, you've given me yourself... calmly... coolly... entirely without incident.
    John Preston: [Polygraph machine scribbling rapidly] No.
    [Polygraph suddenly registers Preston completely in control]
    Polygraph Technician: Oh... S***.
    John Preston: Not without incident.


    Maj. Alan Crown: [after the Canadians finished singing a mocking version of 'Yankee Doodle'] Corporal Peacock, your stripes are not a licence to behave like an ***. There will be no more insulting or derogatory remarks about the Yanks, is that clear?
    Cpl. Wilfrid Peacock: Yes, sir.
    Cpl. Wilfrid Peacock: [addressing the Canadians] There will be no more insulting or derogatory remarks about the Yanks.
    Pvt. Hugh MacDonald: Oh, would ordinary insults be acceptable, sir?


    That is all.
  17. Due to the new sidekicking system, any range is welcome, but Talon Pyre is only level 37 at the moment.

    Really, my plan is to do radio missions up to a Mayhem mission every Monday night, keeping with the theme of causing Chaos. Strike forces are not out of the question, however, and neither are story arcs, but those would be dependant on both time, mood, and interest.
  18. In the best interests of furthering the goal of villianry and chaos, and in striking a blow against the Status Quo, (Which, as we all know, is NOT Quo...) I propose we forge a band of villians, who will seek to undermine the icky goodness that is Paragon City.

    To this end, I propose establishing a semi-regular villian team on Monday evenings, at whichever time is best suited for such troublemaking.

    I, Talon Pyre, shall lead this foul band of malcontents, reprobates and Life Insurance Salesmen!

    ((Please, let me know in this thread if you're interested.))
  19. I was on. Redside. Odd, that.

    Edit: Oh yeah.... I forgot, I went out and got a new speaker system for my computer and didn't get back until 7:30 or so. I was THEN on. My bad.

    ON the plus side, my computer now has a bigass subwoofer..

    hero of canada??

    Don't you mean Jean Poutine? I do not know who this Chretien you speak of is.
  23. 1) a 'Lobo' and a Crossbow for ranged.
    2) Princes of the Universe, by Queen
    3) Being in Canada, there's only one viable option. Head to the Diefenbunker, and join the forces being assembled within.

    hero of canada??

    I'm in southern Ontario myself, but my grandfather is from Nova Scotia, so I know the full scope of weather.

    That said, what do you call a maritimer stuck on a sinking boat?


    A Fisherman.


    I would agree - Give us Canucks some content of our home and native land. So that we can pillage and burn it with our villians!
