  1. I was only on Victory as a back up server, but since Pinnacle doesn't have one of these threads...

    The **** you talkin' about with that ****?
  3. Sure, come December, Pinnacle as a digital community where we all go to drunkenly punch wailers in the face might not exist. But that doesn't mean the Pinnacle Spirit has to die along with the servers.

    Ways to keep the Pinnacle Spirit alive eternally:

    1. No matter how drunk you are or how tense the situation you are in, there is always room to make a Futurama reference. Be the Futurama Referencer!

    2. Keep the two songs of Pinnacle in your heart. Feeling happy and need the right song to show your level of cocky confidence to the world? Why not hum (or, for bonus points, scream out loud in public) the Pinnacle Joy Theme, Mahna Mahna?

    Playing another game? Want to get into that Pinnacle spirit of "I can kick anything straight in the *** with my drunk fury?" Why not blast the Pinnacle fight song, which still echoes in the mists of Pinnacle's non-defunct Hive 3 and 4 to this day?

    3. Want a physical representation of Pinnacle to keep on your desktop? I decided the best possible vinyl figure/idol I can purchase to keep as my shrine to what was is Funko Pop's Muppets Mahna Mahna figure:

    Dear god, he let them into the drunkards den of Pinnacle.

    I hope all his students are 21 and over or at least can handle their liquor.

    There's no other game I'd feel comfortable sending a bunch of largely clueness newbs into.
    Okay, Pinnacle was the right choice. Pinnacle - Where even the Mayor is a largely clueless newb.
  5. So I guess this means you are quitting yet again, right?

    Turn the forums OFF immediately after sending the email that he's unbanned, so that he can't post.
    I don't care how Zwill goes about banning me as long as he takes a screenshot just as he's about to click the button to do so and emails it to me.

    I've come to terms with the fact that no other game will let me be as creative as I was here, so I'm taking my writing seriously for the first time in years.

    As for anyone who might be going through panic attacks or depression: yes, it's just a game. But panic attacks and depression are not. Try to get some fresh air. Remove yourself from the PC for a bit. Hell, even just going out to dinner at a new restaurant you've never been to before can be enough to shake it.

    If you feel it not helping, by all means call your family doctor. I know it's Labor Day here in the states and most doctors are closed. If you are having a panic attack (you'll know if you are since they almost feel like heart attacks), ERs can treat those. It's a pain in the *** like any ER visit is, but once you see a doctor and explain your anxiety attack to them, they are usually very quick on getting you something to calm you down there... so make sure you have a designated driver.

    If you are suffering more from depression and can't get ahold of your doctor, do a search for a local "warmline" in your area, usually run by Mayo Clinics or other Mental Health Affiliates. They are anonymous and there 24/7 to help. When you call, just know you'll hear a warm, caring voice on the other end of the phone who is there to listen to you and give you advice on how to go about feeling better.
  9. Why stop at just events?

    The devs spent time working on stuff. I say for the last week of the game, they unlock every powerset they had in the pipeline that never made it to Beta on the markets for free.

    Bio Armor, Rad Melee, Psi Melee, Savage Melee, Wind Control, Gadgetry, etc.

    Anything they can just push to live for fun, kind of like how the end of SWG let you turn yourself into any in-game model.

    I thought they banned Taser!

    Then unban Friggin' Taser. Send him an email telling him he's unbanned and that he should come post one more time to say goodbye.

    Then ban him again as soon as he posts.
  12. Zwill, if you read this, just for continuity's sake, and just to let any of your own aggressions out, I totally think a justifiable way to end this forum's existence would be to ban me.

    Damn it. I don't know what angers me more: the fact that you called it dead on or the fact that I thought I was being original when it happens EVERY OTHER TIME...

    Yes
  15. Since the news hit, the only song that's been constantly coming back into my mind is Filter's Where Do We Go From Here:

    It's the right mix of calm introspection and chaotic unrest, I believe.
  16. Maybe if we all email the continent of Asia, we can get them to help us resurrect the City of Hero IP!

    Yeah, re-read my post. I'm not blaming other games NC Soft put out. I'm blaming NC Soft's marketing department.

    It could have been the best game ever and still be alive to this day. It didn't deserve the kind of money NC Soft threw at it in pre-production promotion such as having huge rock shows at e3 that led to NC Soft's CEO throwing a hissy fit when they were told they couldn't hold huge rock shows at e3 and proclaiming that he's boycotting all future e3s.
  19. The failing of this game wasn't Paragon's doing.

    It was NC Soft's. If NC Soft actually put money behind the only successful MMO IP in the US it managed to stumble upon, instead of blowing hundreds of thousands on wasted ads and publicity stunts for shovelware like Auto Assault, we might have been in a different place.

    If NC Soft had even a semblance of a marketing department, we would have seen them try to capitalize on every major mainstream superhero breakthrough of the last decade. Ads during Heroes and Smallville. Demo discs and posters in comic shops. A push with more comic companies to feature their characters in the game for cross promotion.

    Instead, they did jack and squat. They sat there with their thumb up their *** even when given free shout outs by Big Bang Theory.

    I am still waiting for both.
    I actually got the server transfer about a week before I started this thread.

    So it's still all funked up.
  21. Finally got my token today.

    I think I figured out how they are calculating it, so I'm anticipating it being around the 25th of the month for me from now on.

    You must wrestle Positron {Matt} on camera to receive your token. And you must win.
    I am strangely okay with this on the following conditions:

    1. Mexican One Fall To Finish rules apply.

    2. Singapore canes are legal.

    3. Neither Posi nor myself are allowed to wear spandex of any kind.

    I have been seeing faster responses to petitions, but maybe it's just been pure luck. We had a clockwork minion stuck in a wall during a Synapse the other day thanks to my Peacebringer knockback and a GM was there before we even cleared the first room on the next floor.

    Of course, he teleported the minion out and watched as I used the same knockback power again, accidentally re-trapping the minion. He knew enough to teleport it back out again and I hope he had a laugh at that.

    Yeah, my math definitely diverges from his when I earned 34 tokens on launch of issue 21 and he just laid out the math that said I only should have 33. It bewilders me because he had just said 34 a sentence before, so I don't know if this is a typo or a legit math error on his part.
