Quote:Can we also keep away from discussion of convicting/sentencing without trial, dystopian death penalties, etc?We're going to keep this thread open for discussion regarding the topic, however we do request that everyone please keep the discussion away from any mention of politics or other such talk.
We're not living in Judge Dredd's world here. Like it or not, this person is entitled to a fair trial. The legal system will determine his guilt or innocence, and sentence him if/when he's found guilty.
This event will be tried by every media outlet in the world hundreds of times before it ever sees a courtroom. Can we keep this forum an exception?
Having said that, I am happy to hear some of our players avoided this tragedy through luck, fate, the whims of bosses, etc. My heartfelt sympathies to the victims and their families. -
I was taking a walk down Memory Lane today....
Remember when this thread was actually about I24? -
Seeing the title of this thread made my brain go to :

Does that make me a bad person? -

Quote:Not sure if serious...Not the only mission, Lt. Sefu Tandaji is murdered specifically for his race in Dark Watcher's RWZ arc
If so, please clarify where exactly this is stated. I've looked over the paragonwiki page for this arc, and didn't see anything to support this. -

Quote:He is a dodge tank. His primary M.O. is to jump around taunting his foes. He's not known for being exceptionally good offensively.
If we're going to base it *exclusively* on the 2 criteria you've listed here, he could be pretty much any AT who only uses his power pool powers (Fighting, Leaping, Presence), but that's stretching a bit. OK, a lot. -

Quote:"Weird Al" Yankovic's "Slime Creatures From Outer Space", from the Album "Dare To Be Stupid".Now I'm wondering what song Tenzhi was thinking of, I'm coming up blank.

Loved that album -
Quote:This has been answered previously, but probably lost in the confusion.Hi
I will be honest, and admit that I have not read the whole thread. But I do have one that may raise questions.....
If my name in real life IS Michael Jackson, and I proceed to make a character after my own name, would that still be in violation. Lets face it, the Celebrity Michael Jackson did not own copywright to my name?
Infact, I am pretty sure you cannot even copywright a name.

Quote:Well said, Gob. While I sympathize with anyone who has had to cut back on their entertainment budget while the economy is in the toilet, Limited access is better than none at all. I'll declare that as a fact, and stand proudly behind it.before F2P you wouldn't have been able to play. At all. No, not even with SOs. No, not even with a generic white costume.
<snip>
There is only you with your free costume pieces and Single Origin enhancements and lack of Incarnate powers.
BTW, I'm unable to play at all atm while I recover from a broken arm. I read the forums and stare longingly at people's F2P accounts.
No, you cannot has my stuff while I recover, even if you promise to give it all back. -
I almost never offer advice/opinions on builds, since I tend to wing it from level 1-50 on every toon, but this thread caught my eye.
Quote:wondered if this build would be acceptable Quote:manditory alterations
I'll now yield the floor to anyone who has suggestions for how you can improve your build. -
Quote:This, IMO, is where grey areas show up. Will the GM see your toon as a violation? This will, by its very nature, be influenced by the GM's perceptions. The EULA rule is stated very simply, but it's very open to interpretation.If the GM reviewing it deems it violates a third parties Intellectual Property it will be genericed.
Food for thought: Consider the official material that could be considered infringement, i.e.:
Hero's Girlfriend "Lois Watson"
Reporter "Peter Kent"
Mission Objective "File X."
Should the Dev's be petitioned for IP infringement on these, or are they different enough to be fair game? -
Quote:I lol'ed at this. Says a lot for his research abilities. How you could confuseI am beginning to think he is confusing Olivia Munn with Felicia Day. I could believe the stuff he said if it was about Olivia.
Olivia Munn http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1601397/
with
Felicia Day http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1260407/
After even a moments consideration?
Both Female.
Both (imo) Attractive.
Both Have Hosted Geek Chat Webcasts.
Hang on, has anyone ever seen them in the same room at the same time? -
This is where I am compelled to de-lurk and point out that there are numerous video clips of Felicia Day playing MMO's, I have yet to see supporting evidence that JB is, in fact, a gamer.
Just sayin....
Quote:When I was in high school, my friends and I used to have people trying to kick the sh out of us every day because we played computer games.
Wait, did you go to my High School?
Never mind, nothing to see here.
That's right, move along, you bunch of looky-loo's. -
Quote:First pics I've seen of this set. Is this the point when I scream "Shut up and take my money!"?
<pics deleted>
As a note: the cape's skull fades in and out, and Posi and Zwill mentioned that all the parts will be available for males and females. Also there are several parts they didn't show, like the Claw Hand. And hooks will be available for both hands. -
Outstanding.
That is all. -
Quote:This.Threads like this are the only reason I keep checking in on the PvP forums. This thread is hilarious.
Although I've had to find a "Forum Troll to English" translator website to decipher some of what's being said. I suppose everyone should learn a foreign language in their spare time -

And finally, this. Trials can be hectic in general, and league leaders are put in the unenviable position of "cat herder." If you want a trial done in a specific way, feel free to step up to the plate and form/lead one of your own, but don't try to override the league leader because you think you can do better. If you've joined a league, you've agreed to be a follower... so follow.
Also, it's a major irritation to have players using speech keybinds linked to power actvation during trials. There's enough relevant chat going on to fill the window without cluttering things up with "Bi teh p0w3r uv Numskullz!" or "$target, you are taunted" or (even worse), "Hover boots activate/deactivate". Does the league really need an announcement when you turn Hover on and off??!? Some of these are very clever and amusing... once. Most are not.
As always, YMMV -
Quote:Hmmm, I wonder if creating a slash command (/payrent) might be a way to achieve this?IRL, I can pay my rent and electric bill online. In CoX, I can't even drop a check in the mail?
:P
Talking this over with a friend, his idea was to pay the rent at the SG Enrance Portal (Cannot Enter Your Base. Upkeep Of xxxx Is Due. Pay Upkeep Now? Y/N). No side trip at all, just pay it on your way in the door. Not sure about the coding demands of this, but it would be a neat and simple solution.
OK, assuming that the toon you're on has permission to pay the rent, but that's really neither here nor there. -
Quote:Excellent. See, you're thinking for yourself. Feels good, doesn't it? To answer your question, no, I don't expect you to blindly accept my opinion, any more than you should expect me to accept yours.So do you have supporting evidence, or should we refuse to accept your claim?
I'm going to rely on Occam's Razor on this.
To restate/expand my view on this:
All powers were suppressed in the "Quiet Room" except for Walk, which if I am correct, was a solo project that BAB created in his spare time. I believe the power suppression was more likely created to supress "all powers" than to suppress "all powers except Walk."
Lacking specific evidence that Walk (among all the powers in the game) is intentionally NOT disabled in this zone sounds (to me) like an oversight that has since been corrected.
You may agree with my line of reason, or disagree with it. Until we get a definitive answer from someone who knows what the Dev's intentions are, we can't honestly say who is right and who is wrong. Until then, we can go round and round on this forever.
As always, YMMV -
Quote:Hmm, I suppose my reply could be taken that way. No, I'm not implying that Sam is lying, but would like to see the basis for his statement that I am wrong. If there is such, I'll gladly admit that I am wrong on this point. No hard feelings on my part, it would not be the first time I was proven wrong... and probably not be the last.Sam has unusual opinions that I don't always agree with, but as far as I've ever seen, he generally doesn't deliberately lie to advance his own ideas.
These forums are rife with people who state their opinions, interpretations, etc are "what was intended". I occasionally call them on it. It's nothing personal.
