"Did you hear what happened when the president made a holo appearance yesterday?"
"No, what?"
"He was complemented about his tie.. his TIE! And then asked some personal questions I heard..."
"Really? The President? Any idea to who the holo-converence was?"
"I have no idea.. not the most respectful bunch, though"
"Kinda funny though!"
"Very!"

- the 'buzz' at Capitol Hill... and oddly enough Paragon City Hall

Well, friend's account is now retail, and paid month of gametime. How soon i'll get my free month of gametime? Next bill date was still same than before.

[/ QUOTE ]
It should happen as soon as your friend makes their first subscription payment - in other words, after they've used the 30 days included with the full version of the game.

[/ QUOTE ]
What if it's not with the full retail version, but with a gametime card, does that make any difference?

You're limited by:
A) the plot, iirc, it only allows for one Main control device
B) The Mainframe allows for 4 auxilaries, so 4 databases is the best you can get at the moment

You put them side by side, then there's enough room for one or two doors to the room too.

[/ QUOTE ]
Problem is that it doesn't allow. I have even empty teleport room and I can't place it there. It's all red, in hole room.

Is there, some limit what one player can put, like just one personal item?

[/ QUOTE ]

no limit but the 2x2 room is a very tough squeeze when i had that room i could only fit them in 1 way and no others (even tho the room is symetical?)

Edit
the hard part is trying to fit the biggest tp room into smallest base size (solo sg but i got alot!! of pres:P) rather not upgrade and pay rent :P

Smallest plot... 4 teleport (2x2) rooms, 8 teleport pads... with room for 'useful' decorations

Teleport pads are crafted with a basic workbench and salvage.

What message is given when you try to place it?


Is the area you want to place it free of obstructions?


Are those the cheap starter rooms (not sure, but might be that they don't allow them?)

You're forgetting the most important question of all - do they make noises and have flashing lights?

Yes.


Disclaimer: the above statement is based on no facts what so ever, and might not be entirely accurate

Last night during the speed meet, Jessica met some interesting people, some less so, and some old friends.

She bid her farewells to Lyn, whom she was talking to at the time to attend a meeting at MAGI.

After the meeting, she went down to The Pits by herself.
There she got chatting with the perpriater Isaac about all sorts of things, including Isaac's now having moved house.

As she went for a snack, Jane and Nene joined her not long after, and they got talking about this and that, that Isaac was going to sing a few songs and Jess' sceptizism about him being 'quite good' with comments like 'this is Isaac, the embodiment of "bad", so excuse me if I'm a bit reserved about him being "good"'

Much funny banter was had about that and other subject before they went to the stage where Isaac performed first a song of Billy Idol, probably in part because Isaac looks much like him?
And an other song I can't remember after that, before opening up the floor to requests... After a bit Jess gathered up her nerve and shouted out "Man I feel like a woman" amongst the other shouters... and got her request.

Isaac did indeed perform all three songs rather well, as for the last one... that song is now for ever tainted.

As Isaac returned to the bar, Nene was going to drop Jane off and Jess had one last drink before heading home.

Neither will I.

I won't OOC stonewall it, but.. IC, I will do so by mentioning I'd rather not discuss such, or something... or just move away, who knows?
Also from what little I've seen, it's not a hot topic at PD (yet? anymore?)

Jessica sat at her desk, looking over the website and pondering her reply when her boss came in.

"Miss Stoneberg, when your break is up, could I see you in my office for a moment?"

"Of course Mr Richards, and it's Mrs now... for nearly 5 months now"

Mr Richards stood there for a moment and tried to think of a polite way of backing up his position, looking around for insporation perhaps and noticed Jessica's screen.

"What's that? Super Support Sisters? An other one of those support groups for those ... socalled 'superiors'? Why are you browsing that on work computers?"

"Mr Richards, I'm on my break, I'm not using the computers for unlawful or distasteful things. I'll see you when my break is done, alright?" Jessica said with a sharp edge in her voice as she did her best to keep her emotions out of it.

Mr Richards nodded and turned, heading for his own office.

Jessica sat there for a moment to ponder this latest anti-metahuman response of her boss. If she didn't enjoy her work so much...

Ah well, it wouldn't be mentioned at the meeting, so just an other friction moment.
Jessica looked at the screen and started to type her response to the site:

--------------

Nice site you have here, Miss Teen. Great initiative!

Funny how this ties in with the simplest and best advice I can give in general:
"Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice"

Hope to see you on Monday.


Jessica
The Grav Mistress

Archmage with MAGI
Task Force Commander for the Peregrine Defence
Lecturer at Paragon University

-----------------

As she read her reply over, she felt again that she was showboasting with putting some of her highest relefant accomplishments under her name. Still... it might show that the support is genuine and with those who have 'been there, done that'... even if Jess didn't become a hero until her 24th...

She submitted her response and got up to get a short walk about before heading to Mr Richards about what ever he wanted to talk to her about.

Union is the 'unofficial RP server', so RPers tend to flock there more.

Tower of Power used to wear "Secret Admirer", but changed it to "Risk Taker" when he started dating Sara Aegis.

Dark horse that one. Wasn't he after Shadow's Grace at one point? And now he's dating her 'sister'... tut, tut.

[/ QUOTE ]
He did have a crush on her... a year and a half ago?
But you know, hearing from the get go there's no chance even with hell freezing over tends to help with getting over things

And it seems hell bend on only wanting the doorways in fixed places, so... even though it would fit perfectly if the doorway was the square beside it, it won't allow you to place it because of the doorway not being able to place in the 'must' location... I've had to delete a teleporter to fit a room in, move the doorway and construct a new teleporter to put back in its original position...

also, a jacccuzi has been done... make shiftly... with shelves, the low ones... or perhaps benches put in a circle.

Tower of Power used to wear "Secret Admirer", but changed it to "Risk Taker" when he started dating Sara Aegis.

I also pick the badge title to fit the character, rather then accomplishments.
I don't really use them in RP either, except for the Omega Clearance... and Task Force Commander.

For my villains, most badges are very unlikely to be IC.

[ QUOTE ]
That's definately just a joke.

[/ QUOTE ]
*puts head on the chopping block*
Why?

I usually use a wall detail, small rusted vent or something to get rid of them, just one between two gets rid of those two, without being very visible...

That is, if you don't have any other real decorations to put in place

[ QUOTE ]
Actually, I've found so far that heroes in Pocket D have a very calm reaction to villains discussing their misdeads. It's kind of like "well, that's happening in the Rogue Isles, so it's not something to get worked up about."

[/ QUOTE ]
I think it's in part due to:
"I can't do a darned thing about it, so why bother"
With the restrictions of PD.
Those few times such things were said to one of my character, she became rather cold and sarcastic before heading off for an other conversation, or bar.

[ QUOTE ]
My biggest line with City of Villains is that you don't really feel that evil sometimes.
I mean, my first character fights zombies, snakepeople, corrupt cops (You know, on mercy where they beat innocent people with truncheons), infernal gang members, and the like. How's that not heroic and, in general terms, Good?
I would say that longbow might be the only innocent people I've had to smite but to be fair I'll call that self defense: When they see me they set me on fire. I swear. No tact.

[/ QUOTE ]
Personally, I don't feel comfortable RPing evil people.
My two RP villains aren't real villains.
One if a merc with scrutiny, also works in Paragon for the law, for that matter.
The other is a shop keeper (well, jeweller) that sometimes goes out to get cheap inventory... Oh, and likes to help people, even has the whole heroic spandex costume and all.

So, most missions are either OOC, or fudged.

[ QUOTE ]

PS: Does this mean I won't have to listen to heroes blather on about how many lives they saved that day?

[/ QUOTE ]
So far, I've seen more "hey look at me, I'm evil" talk then "I'm so good I saved so many lives" conversations.

it's more likely to hear something like
"Those [groupX] sure got a pounding today", from either side of the fence.

(( Very nice effects! ))

"Yes, I would have done my shopping last night, but there were those creapy mages outside that jewellerey store near my building! They hardly ever come that close, so I wasn't going to risk it for groceries!"

Comments made rather loudly by a woman at a supermarket in Port Oaks, near the hospital.
Edit: it was this Wednesday morning

(( considering the explinations, attributes, skills, feats and powers like "Datalink" and "Super Sense: Electrical" that it is the RP character to stat, rather then the game character.

I won't stat up Grav... oooh the head ache...
I might stat up Tower of Power for the heck of it, Roselin, probably... ))
