It would be nice if we could get some kind of official stance on this sort of thing. I know they don't really consider us roleplayers to be worth much effort or even thought, but considering we actually outnumber the PvPers (at least in the EU) who get loads of attention in-game, a little consideration for our continued enjoyment of the game would be nice.

[/ QUOTE ]
Amen!

But then, you have to see their side of things... PvP is just code and programming and balance just like the rest of the game, so something they can handle (even if it is poorly and over a long time period)... background info is totally different and there for scary. (If less time consuming and probably easier to nail down.)
Add to that the statement I recall how they "do not want to give too much information and thus limit players in their concepts", makes it rather unlikely.

I'm all for an invasion that doesn't go on for an undermined amount of time, but as it is, it will hugely impact everyone, even those who don't want to partake. In some extremes, people might even leave as they can't enjoy the game how they used to

[/ QUOTE ]
I doubt I'll leave the game... anytime soon, anyway.

I haven't decided about the invasion, but for afterwards, I'll see how things go. The game itself doesn't change all that much, and I do still enjoy the game (in waves )


And thanks Echo_Hammer, but... I for myself don't see any plot evolving around or out of the invasion

Nice!

first thing I noticed was the (lack of) length on the katana

second.. the thigh of above the fishnets, seems like it's a "(" where it should have been a ")"

Also, I've noticed your masks have large holes for the eyes. It's a style thing, I think, but I find them a bit too large

Sorry about my posts for today... it's not been a good day for me.

I do not like the idea of the invasion (and the missery that it involves), so I do not like the idea of making it more 'realistic' (ie: more missery), sorry that today my self cencorship filter had broken down.

I'll probably stay out of this thread from now on. Some of you no doubt like discussing this and these things.. I shouldn't ruin your fun because I don't like it.

Sorry again to everyone.

You mean, pretty much like what happens already in a number of cases? :P And would probably happen anyway?

[/ QUOTE ]
Exactly.

Why bother bringing it up in the first place?

((
Dang I'm rusty with runes...
))

But why?

it'll only cause different view of the city.


Characer A and B are on a bench talking about this and that, the war comes up and what not...

Player A has had Character A escort in food supplies

Player B has had Character B patrolling the city perimiter and seen no signs of such

Player C's character comes along saying that millions of achers of wheat and corn and cattle have been bombed...




and that's just the food bit.

[ QUOTE ]

Seeing as the first invasion resulting in the devastation of most of the city, and the deaths of most of the cities hero population; I'm not sure this one will be ignorable...

[/ QUOTE ]
Of course, any invasion shouldn't be ignored. And we can't. That's already been established. But will the secondary effects like those listed above happen?
The Vanguard seems to have been preparing for this (I'll bring in the suddon change of the RCS to the RWZ in a matter of hours with all the vanguard equipment as a reason.)
Teleporters. Who needs trucks to transport food? Sure it's cheaper probably but it's an emergancy.

Lost your job? Go work at a weapons factory. Passifist? Go work at the armour factory instead.
Not want anything to do with "the war effort", become an activist and protest against the Rikti.

You know the US of A always plans for all sorts of disasters once they've happened to them. A second invassion would fall under them.

[ QUOTE ]

What kind of effects will it have on the city however, that would be reflected in RP?


[/ QUOTE ]
How about... not a thing?

Sure, there's an invasion, big deal, it's not like it's the first.

*imagines walking over to a few character complaining about the lack of food... eating a 500ounce steak sandwich*

edit: okay... 14-15 kg might be a bit over the top...

(The Pits will be closed, who wants to go clubbing in a war zone?)

[/ QUOTE ]
How is that any different from usual



The war industry will rise again.. isn't that what saved the US depression of the 30s?

World wide invassion, right?

Paragon won't be alone, though probably bear the brunt of things.

Rikti fight dirty, right?
Invading the agricultural zones of the US would pretty effectively put it at danger in the long run. "Food? Hey look a rat! we're going to feast tonight"

cuicides of people who can't take it anymore

an influx of enlistments who aren't ready for anything being pushed to the front lines

[ QUOTE ]
I thought Paragon was pretty grim anyway, with the aftermath of the 1st war.

[/ QUOTE ]
At least it was hopeful, rebuilding... now they're going to get a second beating.

[ QUOTE ]
Oh wonderful. Looks like I'm not going to be able to ignore this like I did the Requiem thing...

[/ QUOTE ]
Yay! Finally a fellow nay-sayer!


Ah well, I think I'll indulge in some displays of Gid-like powers in some stories... as I would probably never do so IC in front of others...

When dating a geek, know your Star Trek puns


Rosalin: Hmmm, a romantic scifi?
Alex: "Romance and Sci-fi... very rare combination."
Rosalin smiles "I'm sure you'll pick a nice one, even if it's not romantic... I think I can make it so" chuckles at her pun
Rosalin lays down on the sofa with plenty of room to lay beside her for cuddles
Alex snickers, "Hmm, at least I'll have you to Klingon too." blinks, "Did I really say that?"

These better Ghost?


[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, thanks!

Nice, how ever... personal taste, I think I prefer a little bit zoomed out, especially Jess.

Who says we're missing him?

I'm still around a bit, mostly in PD when I am, though...

Thanks!

Orion slave girls, huh?


Ah well.

Jessica Stoneberg, magic controller, natural peacebringer, magic controller... actually, just make it magical

Roselin Thorn, Mutant Dominator and Scrapper (warning, do not click unless you're 16+)
And the same, perhaps mirrored and/or slightly shifted for Rosalin Thorn, Science Stalker and Defender (clone of Roselin)

Now, only to find some green actresses.... one blond and one a red head... chances?

Come join us on the light side, you know you want to.

Thanks! That's great!

I'd like to have some artwork of Roselin Thorne.

It's a character of mine that started out as an experiment with the popular plant/thorn dominator set, but has grown out to be my main ingame RP character.

Anyway, the pictures!

Roselin's combat outfit, and a jacket. It's a bit out dated as she now wears a heroic spandex-like outfit, but still

This is why Roselin wears that outfit... Thorny!

Roselin in a dress for a night out

Roselin in a 'sexy cop' uniform on a dare. And an other view


I'm curious to see what people come up with

And I thought babies were delivered by an ostridge (or how ever you spell that)

I'm not a movie maker... so I'd like some input on some things.

Limitations:

Should it be limited to the ingame engine?
Should cosplay be allowed?
'borrowing' from other movies/series?


Also, what would be a fair time limit?
edit:
Is 3 months too long?
Is one month too short?
