    The Slippery Slope

    POST-ACTION

    Are you now, or would you in the future, be interested in participating in a Nemesis Plot?
    * A what?
    * No thank you, I oppose the aims of Lord Nemesis.
    * Always willing to help! I love helping everyone and everything! It's like an obsessive need with me or something... oh, must have missed a little after you last sneezed... let me get that for you...
    * Only if he won't ask me a litany of useless f***ing questions!!
    Where is the "Yes please" option?

    Good idea. I never thought of that.

    I'm probably looking a gift horse in the mouth here, but how many others besides me are just going to flat out not bother with the Lore pets, not because they generally don't like pets but because the Praetorian-NPC nature of those pets clashes with their character concept? Because don't get me wrong, I like pets just fine - my four Masterminds, two Dominators, and five Controllers including one that uses Illusions are somewhat telling. I just feel like they'd be a little immersion-breaking on a lot of my characters, especially the ones who are supposed to be connected to other NPC villain groups (the exceptions being my Meat Doctor character and two of my Menders, who will make perfect sense with salvaged Clockwork allies, and one of my Dominators, who's all about the mind control).

    I guess I could think up IC reasons for most of the otherwise-odd ones, but that's a tall order for some of the more magically oriented and otherworldly characters, you know? Nordic frost giants, sentient black holes, ancient Anglo-Saxon revenants, genies, malevolent hurricane spirits, Soldiers of Rularuu, and Andrew Jackson don't seem like they'd be so easy to reconcile with the whole having-a-Praetorian-buddy thing.

    Or maybe I'm just grumpy because with all the time this patch is taking to download, I won't get to play today. I dunno. I wish I could just give the Seers a Wisp skin... I don't care if their powersets don't match perfectly.

    It looks more like a really well-done photoshoot cosplay than a real movie costume... new pants are much better.

Please pm me with all the details about your vg, such as any rules (the normal be nice thing is of course always noted) I mean rules like you must rp all the time and be in vg mode all the time and here is the costume you must make and wear, those kind of rules. Ok I will be on the lookout for your pm also I am gonna go in game to see if anyone is on.

    VG so this is villains right? I have to either go see if I have any villains on virtue or roll a new one, will a new toon be ok?
    Ah, me too! I have a Strongwoman with no group.

    Clockwork heads! That's brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?
  8. FlashToo
    Ack. Honest mistake, I swear. I'm thinking about twelve things at once now. Last picture has been removed, it broke rule 3 anyway.
  9. FlashToo
    Bishoujo huh? As it happens, I have an anime-based female character already... she's a lizard, and slightly shounen-type because I was always more fond of sentai and mecha than of magical girls, but I don't think I'd let that stop me. And because she's a princess, here's a more formal looking outfit.
  10. FlashToo
    How the... what?
  11. FlashToo
    Cool, I've had these sitting on my hard drive unused for a while now:
  12. FlashToo
    Dominators with Propel. Two of them. Not going to respec out. Ever. Take that as you will.
  13. FlashToo
    Oougel: With her aversion to touch, gecko climbing ability, and power to be ignored whenever attention would inconvenience her, I'm gonna say public transportation - on the outside of the vehicle.

    Power Balladeer: A totally rockin' 80s-mobile convertible. Hot pink.

    The Hour Thief: Again, public transport, but in the conventional way rather than clinging to the roof of a bus or the back of a train. Slow? Maybe, but he has all the time in the world.

    Illumineer: Would probably prefer a jetpack to the rocket boots she uses now.
  14. FlashToo
    Doesn't even start. The only thing that happens when I try to start the launcher is an error message saying "NCSoft Launcher has stopped working, Windows is checking for a solution to the problem" which goes away after a minute with no solution presented. The old updaters don't work either, only their message is "NC.FindLauncherStub has stopped working" instead.

    How can I fix this so I can play again?
  15. FlashToo
    I always liked Pronghorn

    My Ill/Rad troller:

    If this happened I would immediately reroll Archon Stuart, my Galaxy soldier. It's just WRONG that he has to start out blue.
  18. FlashToo
    Well, rockstar IS a pretty good theme for an axe wielder...

    And if you want the COH CE, just watch. I got several of them (for friends, as that's what I started with, as well as my second account) for $5 a piece.
    Been watching for months with no luck. There must be some kind of secret to it that I'm unaware of, unless the secret is "sit around refreshing Amazon every thirty seconds," which as a student I simply don't have the time to do.

    The Great Rumpuscat now has the bare legs I'd intended for him, and a bottlebrush tail to boot:

    Cool feature! I will sign on as a Helper for sure.

    Though I'm close, on some servers, to feeling slot crunch again.
    Except that on those second, third, and fourth accounts, you don't have any of your veteran rewards, costume codes, etc. from your first one. Got a character idea that you want to make that uses, for example, the Samurai Armor as a major part of his costume, but you're out of slots on your first account? Have fun waiting a year and a half! How about the Cape of the Four Winds? That'll be another $60 to Amazon, please.
