You know telling the ppl of Paragon about how we Preatorians have no crime because our heroes actually protect everyone,a work force to do menial jobs,and other propaganda.

Sorta starting alil' "resistance" of dissatisfied citizens/heroes in Paragon,BUT,here's the thing about it.I'll finance commercials,billboards,rallies,parades,and other peaceful demonstrations to spread the word of Emperor Cole and how Paragon can become more like Preatoria.

Seeking ppl in political positions to help,business owners,and charity organizations.
Then with political support and possible laws changing have the PPD,Kheldian,military,and hero strike forces actually going in and wiping out cells of villains thereby protecting the citizenry.Something Statesman and rest of his impotent friends can't seem to do.

I wonder how Statesman would feel if laws are passed that come from Preatorian spokesmen?Him doing the work to make Paragon more like Preatoria....I like it.

All for the glory of the Emperor!

In her own words:

" I did not run off, for I thought that wicked, but I walked off, believing that to be all right."

She attended women's rights organizations, and worked tirelessly to improve the lives of African Americans, even being accused of being a man by her detractors.

Who will be our Sojourner Truth?
Who will fight against the oppressive, stifling rule of "Emperor" Cole?

Remember, no "Empire" can exist without people.
You are the people.
You choose whether good or evil will subsist.
You can choose to resist and lead us all to a better life.

Fight for truth, fight for Truth.
Walk off.

I've already gotten over a DOZEN negs since the new forums complaining the same thing: "signature is bigger than post"... like that's some sort of crime or something.

And I'm really liking the Loyalist sigs, it's kinda tempting to join Cole....

EDIT: Damz, Thirty Seven, please visit the orange link in my sig to update your sig, the old images are too big for the forum rules.

And worst case is that GR will make the arc obsolete. But as GR is half a year away I don't see much of a problem there.

(Which do not actually crack the encryption but use flaws in the use of the encryption to recover or mathematically reduce the possible keyspace).

It's completely natural for people to question some cases of what, so far, seem like extremely arbitrary limitations on interactions when you cross sides. Sure, we don't know everything yet - it sounds like the devs haven't decided everything yet. But some of what the devs have preliminarily decided doesn't sit well.

Let's look at this from a roleplaying standpoint for a moment. If you're playing a vigilante, why would most of the rogue isles contacts even care? A huge number of them are hiring mercenaries, and a huge number of arcs are villain-on-villain violence. A contact hires a vigilante to wipe out an Arachnos base or a cell of Malta? Rock on?

On the flip side, are most Paragon contacts going to care if the person who wanders up to them is more of a dark night (not in the Batman sense) if they need someone to stop the Vahz from poisoning the city, or the Rikti from reinvading? Anyone with a "Rogue" designation presumably has completed enough sensitivity training to have a reputation for saving lives or performing other good deeds at least some of the time. I think only the most morally uptight of contacts would object to their help in a crisis.

A reasonable question in this is how do you get introduced to these contacts. But we actually already have a mechanism for that - police scanners and RI newspapers. If a Rogue runs around answering police S.O.S. calls, or a Vigilante runs around taking contracts from RI brokers, the contacts in that zone would hear about it and have a chance to decide this person is someone up their ally.

The very nature of introducing "Going Rogue" is to blur the existing lines between the games. That's unavoidable and, in may ways, highly desirable. Leaving in little barriers that trip people trying to take that bluring to fairly natural conclusions is more frustrating than useful. Let the players decide how they want to play their characters, and where. Go with the flow a little more, rather than trying to force it to go around corners.
