Hell yes!

Hmm, we'll see... just patience and "bubble buster"? on it now, though...

But I'm sure there's a web based one that'd work

And that then leaves it a bit late to actually tell anyone I'm coming because you'll all be away from computers, as will I...

So basicly... I'll feel ripped off anyway?

Hun, we're Dutch, we feel ripped off by default.

[/ QUOTE ]
Ah, true...

After a chat with an Englishman, I've come to the following conlclusion:
The Dutch may feel ripped off by default,
But the English are being ripped off by default

You have to bare in mind, Jitze, that an ounce for us, is a different ounce here in the UK, it's smaller than you think. (I made that mistake too at first :s)

Obviously, we need a Scrapper with Laser-Beam Eyes to help them out in the kitchen.

Too bad Molok has other plans... any other Fire tanks out there?

I find the torso/hip/legs angle a bit odd
The Wing doesn't align with the head band
And the breast seems... I don't know, dispropotionalte? out of place? I can't put my finger on it (don't take that the wong way! ) Maybe it's too seperated from th torso, might also be a combination of the things named.

That said, I couldn't draw if my life depended on it. So I'm in no position to say it's no good. Well, that and the fact I would be lying if I did.

It really is a great piece of art.
The colouring.... just wow.
The fiery eyes fix the wings/headband alignment, and the sword makes the torso/hips/legs angle look ok.
And the background, nicely done! It actually looks like she's in an inferno and liking it!

Congratulations Hiki

Insert PLME joke here

I don't like the bendy fireballs. Basically, there's no skill involved in actually hitting someone, it's calculated by the server.

The only skill involved is movement and choosing the right powers at the right time. Anyone who is seen as skilled in pvp is basically somebody who clicks buttons in an efficient order. This renders it completely pointless in my view.

[/ QUOTE ]Which is also true for PvE...



But seriously, I'm not a big fan of PvP, because like Ashen, I prefer to cooperate. Not compete.

That said, I have PvPed, both in the arena and in the zones.
With my controler, mostly.
I had some good and some bad experiences, though I rarely loosed, oddly enough... (Grav/FF build for PvE, doubt it's the most effective build around, but I like it)

like one time, I was in Sirens, don't remeber why I went there...
And I was 'stalking' the lead bounty, contemplating if I wanted to engage... the brute had an other brute, a stalker and a dominator as friends, so decided not to. They did attack me, though. I recognised the SG as a RP sg, so I sent the call out to my RP sg for some backup. 2 Scrappers answered, and were nearing the gate as the dominator entered DOOOMINATION (sorry about that ) and finally broke through my PFF.
Went to the hospital, grouped up and went to retaliate.
The battle lasted for hours, and went all over the zone, though was concentrated near the villain base as the 4 villains ran from the 3 heroes most of the time. There was a lot of friendly and all in all non offencive banter, but the constant running from an even battle as is slowly turned out they were loosing... that grithed on my nerves.



.... back on topic...

What I don't like in PvP is that my powers don't work as I expect them to work: ACC drop from 75 to 50 %?, No hold after the previous for a minute or so?

What I don't like is the unpredictability. No, I don't mind some surprizes, but in PvE I can predict failry well how a fight will go, which targets need holding, which don't and so on.
Yes, I face plant, no I don't mind. Yes, sometimes the fecal mater hits the ocilating device, and that doesn't bother me, so long as I have some idea I have some controle on the outcome (fitting for a controler, no?)

... I'm babbling, I'll shut up now...

3 weeks to go... starting to feel the .... what ever it is I'm feeling.

The list of those coming?

Jen

Aren't there any bedrooms/sleeping areas available?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope. Only one type of bed essentially and theres villainy looking shackles on them Lets ask for proper beds in the suggestions forum..

[/ QUOTE ]
THere's also a cot... and for extra comfort: a cot with a pillow!

The most easily found RPers are at the Galaxy Girl statue, everynight around 9 (uk time)
The GG statue is behind the Freedom Corp building in Galaxy City. From the base portal, you have a nice view of the statue, and those huddled under her.

These are by no means the only RPers, but as I said, the most easily found.

You can probably find a turquoise skinned blond in a sharp suit chatting with various partygoers and beam with admiration and pride at/over Eloise's grand day.

Deserving of a sticky, if you ask me.

[ QUOTE ]
Oh and as for not wanting people to ask what "RP" means. Why? Everyone has to find out someway...no one would be a roleplayer if they hadn't first found out about the term. It's not a secret society, so please don't fob people off if they express interest in it.

[/ QUOTE ]
I have always did a little RPing in my games, I just never knew I was RPing...

And I think the OP was meaning to cover ignorance, rather than shutting those people out.

Having raid telepad is up to you, but it wont fit to the 2x2 room.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, the Arcane Raid teleporter fits fine into a 2x2 room. The Technology one doesn't.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ours did not no matter how many different angles I tried. It looked like it would fit, but it didnt.

[/ QUOTE ]
Could be the doorway abstructing there, one door = no problem, 2 door... doesn't leave enough room.

[ QUOTE ]
THE END


My writing will continue pretty much immediately in a new story - would you guys prefer it in Creative or Roleplaying?

[/ QUOTE ]
Roleplaying!
Makes it easier to find for me
Although I must admit that this does fit in with Creative...

[ QUOTE ]
From my point of view, if you RP'd it in local, in my hearing, then it is viable for the paper. If two characters have a fight at the statue, there will probably be an article, and I probably won't ask direct permission of those involved. If anyone has a problem with that, feel free to PM me or email the paper.
.
Or indeed, air it here, I'd consider a debate over whether RP implies consent for an IC publiciation a perfectly on-topic thing.

[/ QUOTE ]
Indeed a worthy debate... does IC RP in Local automaticly free it up for use by others?

Personal opinion, open to change:
If it happens at GG, then yes, it's up for grabs.
If it's in a more private location, then it's up to those involved.

May I inform you, that for most foreigners...
You're all English (or Irish)
