Can we also keep away from discussion of convicting/sentencing without trial, dystopian death penalties, etc?

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.

Wow, you're quite the optimist.

Not sure if serious...

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.

Drink.

That is all.

Last time I looked, all Scrapper offensive sets have a taunt power, so this is not the best argument.

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.

Since I still enjoy playing Scrappers, hopefully I can has their stuffs.

Also, DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!1!

"Weird Al" Yankovic's "Slime Creatures From Outer Space", from the Album "Dare To Be Stupid".

Loved that album

This has been answered previously, but probably lost in the confusion.

From the EULA, 11.(a).(ii): (emphasis mine)

tl;dr version. The EULA says you can't use your real name, since it allows people to ID you IRL.

And then drink.

Well played, EG. Well played.

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.

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.

At the end of the day, it's YOUR toon. If you're satisfied, then yes, it is 100% acceptable. If you are not satisfied, then you will decide what changes are mandatory.

I'll now yield the floor to anyone who has suggestions for how you can improve your build.

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.

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?

I lol'ed at this. Says a lot for his research abilities. How you could confuse

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....

Dude, I apologized at Graduation, in front of Classmates, Parents, and the entire Faculty! When will it be enough?




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.

First pics I've seen of this set. Is this the point when I scream "Shut up and take my money!"?

This.

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

Hmmm, I wonder if creating a slash command (/payrent) might be a way to achieve this?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
