  1. If you've already got your ticket, then it shouldn't take too long to get in, probably longer walking to the hall it's held in too

    If you don't already have your tickets... then I belive a 30 minute queue isn't that far off the mark.



    I'm still in Holland, while I should have been in Brum according my flight schedual. 2 hours delay isn't fun, assuming it won't be more then 2 hours...
    At least waiting for checking in at the hotel won't be so long.

    ... I can see blood being drawn in the queue...

    It is indeed... not a lot


    I think we can expect to get only one sketch and one colouring per visitor per day?

    *checks his usb stick* hmmm, two sketches and two colourings planned... two of each in reserve too...
    One day there.


    Maybe the price increase will put some off a little and allow me to get extra done?
    Didn't think so... ah well.

    It's 5am here, my plane goes in 4 hours 40 minutes, it's 2 and a half hours travel to the plane (not counting that it's rush hour ), a long wait and a 1 hour flight... and then I'll be in the even wetter and colder England! Woo!

    I'll be there early Sunday morning, hopefully to get a collector's edition COV box. Also, to get to the front of the sketching queue!

    Saturday for me, and similar reasons!

    Must.. expand.. sketch.. collection.. talking.. like.. Shatner.. mandatory..

    With my 16 DTWT sketches I think I might just have the largest collection... But then, as I'm in no possition to go to more then one (or 2) a year... someone might just have surpassed me...
    In which case I'll happily claim the largest collection of DTWT sketches outside the UK

    *awaits challengers*
  4. I'd imagine that it'd be a bit of a squeeze to create the TP holding rooms... maybe at i13 you could get a bigger plot with the space (for a decreased cost too, I think) before being able to do the shift.

  7. And we'll be able to say "I have a personal, original, Danny Ryan!"

    I say we go for it!
  8. All awesome... speachless!

    Maybe we should get Dan doing DtWT pictures for people at Memorabilia.

    I've said similar in the past, but he's modest!
    Though I think I've read some where that part of the idea is to have well known artists come, so people can say "I have a personal Andrew Wildman!" or in my case "I have 9 personal Andrew Wildmans!"
  9. Eeep!
    I just realised that I haven't sorted out my screenshots yet!
    I can use some from previous shows that didn't get done, but I'll have to get cracking this afternoon just to be sure!
    Need to get some colouring reference too..

    Luckily I have this afternoon and tomorrow off, though tomorrow will be half spend sorting things (like a barbers appointment)

    My plane takes off Friday morning, 9:40 Dutch time
    I want to get a train to the airport at around 7:15ish just to be sure we get there on time during rush hour.
    It's an hour and a half drive to the train station (didn't have to be, admittedly, but it's more fun in the car)
  10. Thanks for the replies

    I'll try to contact the apropriate people soon™


    Also, expanding the possibilities to:
    - Well liked by the public
    - Well liked by the media

    eidt: in short, names that impress
    "Oooh, Mister X signed this idea, it must be good"
    Or at least "Oooh, Mister X signed this idea, I'll give it some consideration instead of instant dismissal"
  11. While Shadowe and Zortel would indeed be great, I'd like to spread the opportunity around. Plus, there's nothing wrong with having a well known and respected hero vouch for you.
  12. The circles I'm looking to influence are government laws, rules and regulations.
    Specifically, speed along a full pardon.

    So the Chief would be good, War Crow and Jason maybe, but as I'm looking for "influencial heroes", Velvet falls out here, as does Ni.
  13. Hi all,

    I'm looking for heroes that are well respected by the powers that be (and not so much behind the scenes).

    One of my characters is putting together a list of people to ask a favour of.

    Criteria:
    - Character must be someone who you could name drop and gain immidiate pull at government beurocrats.
    - Not too hard to find (some poking around or file searching but not secret government stuff)
    - Not inapproachable; Sure, Statesman is great and all, good with the men in whi.. euh, suits. But not very approachable with a smallish, personal thing.
    - Player must be willing to run an IC mission and or TF at some point.


    So, if you have a character and are interested (you can always say no when you know more, ICly or OOCly), then post up here with:
    * name
    * AT (or ATs)
    * lvl
    * brief description why the character would fit the list.


    Post here and you will probably contacted.. sometime this week or the next.




    I'll use three of my own characters as examples, but they'll probably not go on the mission/TF.


    The Grav Mistress
    - Grav Mistress, lvl 50 controller
    - Grav-Mistress, lvl 43 Peacebringer
    - Smaragden Koningin, lvl 32 controller
    Well known hero and respected member of MAGI's support team


    Tower of Power
    - Tower of Power, lvl 48 Tanker
    - Tower of Power., lvl 24 Scrapper
    Well mannered hero with a good reputation dating back to before the first Rikti War, if primairily in Europe. Sole survivor of a large scale succesful attempt at bringing a Rikti Mothership down over Europe.


    Misha Hannigan
    - lvl 27 Scrapper
    As a member of the Unity Vigil, she has some pull by association. As a reformed juvinile trouble maker, she's friends with a detective that trusts her judgement in case of character and possible reforming miscreants.

    it's a choice you make, ether deal with it or just don't search teams.
    tho, there should be an extra option "lft role playing", so you can do it slowly if you want to.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    You make it sound as if there's only PLing and Farming to lvl, filling to help those which is of course mandatory and it is rude to decline a /tell of "fill?"

    And if you want to lvl slow, there's Roleplay.

    ----
    So, fast or slow... fast or slow...
    Nothing in betwee? you go from walking straight to Fighter Jet.

    What's in between?

    Where are the PuG's? The Looking for TFs? Trails? Story Arcs teams?

    Nope, just farming the same mission over and over, or soloing, those are your choices.
    Thank you for enlightening us.

  16. Hmmm... why is it that the male ones look like the ones that might be rushed?

    Brilliant stuff all round!
  17. The Scene: Jessica making a call to her personal external library maintained by CoT (Oranbega), just walking past them while they try and stop her.

  18. Maybe have it cost an ingame currency?
    100,000 prestige, maybe? 1mil?

    /signed any way they do it.

    Shadow, learn this little rhyme:

    "If you can't face a name, don't play the game."

    [/ QUOTE ]
    pay my subs and I'll think about letting you decide my game for me.


    If a team can set a name, I'd say it'd be needed to be able to search for said teamnames. Otherwise, what's the point other then npc dialoge that'd no doubt become much more bulky codewise if they have to add an 'if then, else' check in there.

    PS. I prefer the Ghost part of my forum name

    I would love a team called "The Super Ducks of Anti-Vazhilok" or something...

    [/ QUOTE ]
    this'd be why I /unsign...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    By that logic, let's just scrap the ability to name our chars and SGs, shall we?

    *rolls eyes*

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Ah, but there'd be no chance I'd have a character names thus, or join an SG names as such.
    But joining a PuG, my options would be to leave on something silly as an embarassing name or shake my head at my perception of stupidity among my fellow gamers.

    So, because I see no gain from this suggestion, I /unsign

    you are incapable of doing a 'quick sketch' aren't you?

    As for fixing them it's simple, different rank, different permissions.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It's already so that different ranks can get different permissions...
  25. Currently:

    Grey name: In a team
    Blue name: not in a team

    Red background (and name?): Not accepting team invites
    Green backgroud: looking for missions
    light grey background: Looking for Any



    I think an explination of the grey and blue names would be helpful... the number of few month vets I've met that didn't know about that...
