X is definitely Nemesis. The brotherkilling bit is in Web of Arachnos apparently.

I pretty much exclusively play female toons. Aesthetically, the costume options, animations and looks are generally far better (two examples that spring to mind: The male run animation is frankly awful, and they still don't have a decent long hair option for male characters, along the lines of the lengths you can get female hair to.) In rp terms, I kept getting accused of being female until I actually mentioned I was male/posted on the forums with this name admitting the characters were mine (pre-totalcat.)

To be fair, it's more an aesthetic choice than a psychosocial one. I don't think "must only create female characters," it just kind of happens.

I have NO male characters whatsoever. I just don't like the models or animations. or the grunt.

The female models have better costume options, and (insert pet peeve here) proper long hair.

My glory is restored!

No, it's all true. Especially the lies.

Announcing the anchor in a PUG is like saying "KILL THIS ENEMY".

[/ QUOTE ]

well, it depends. Sometimes, you get the loon that anchors the effect to the biggest nastiest thing he can find, irregardless of whether that thing is the one you HAVE to kill first for the teams survival... and the whinges when people kill it.

Here's a question... well, sort of one anyway.

"So, being able to create your own missions is in the pipeline. That said, what would you create, if you could add a story arc to the main game?"

So, okay, it's not much of a question, and entirely too serious. If you want, you can add "do you like pie?" to the end of that.

I totally agree with the OP that there is almost a level of rudeness in the players that has been accepted and become as standard

[/ QUOTE ]

So it's not rude to randomly send people blind invites, regardless of their search comment, regardless of what else they may be doing, without even asking, or a please, or proper speech? Sorry, I find that more ignorant, rude and unmannerly than the concept of being upfront about what kind of invites I want to recieve.

If you think it's acceptable to do the metaphorical equivalent of walking up to someone and demanding they do something without either A) asking them if they have a moment of time b) giving them any details about what you want them to do or c) introducing yourself, or using common words like please or thankyou, then I'm sorry, but that doesn't paint you as the kind of person I'd want to knw in real life, let alone team with.

The Cap Facility:

Josie was working overtime, scanning the collated data-reports, while rebuilding the main prototype for the scan-swarm drones. The work of munging together that much raw traffic data was a herculean effort, which was why she's been happy to let her machines handle the grunt work. Still it was starting to look like... now that was interesting.

The thing that had caught her, eye, helped by the pinging of the expert systems, was an interesting little coincidence in the power records. She'd already traced thetv signal back to Darwin's Landing, but had never seriously expected that base to be still occupied. Now, not long after the event, she'd found a large power-surge, coupled with fluctations in the teleport grids. One in Darwins landing, then another in Cap Au Diable. Someone had, a suspiciously short of time after the broadcast, moved a lot of mass from one place to the other. Josie digested this, as she took a long pull on her next coffee. The ******* had moved into her hometown. Right under her nose.

Slamming her left fist into the table, she stood, carrying the sub-minature swarmbot over to the feed hopper for the autofabs. Then she started issuing more orders. "Start fabrication, standard swarm, non-metallics only." Heading over to her comms console, she punched in a little used combination, dialing into a system of encryption and bounced links so fiendish that could only have been developed by an AI (It had) and so involuted that it seemed the idea was as much about disguising the fact there'd even been a communication at all, as much as it's nature (which, in point of fact, it was.)

"Just an informational message, B. Noodle Soup has been narrowed to Cap au Diable, 97% probability. Further refinement is underway. More news, as it happens."

The Rogue Isles.: Cap au Diable.

The small facility was now a hive of activity. Josie strode through the organised chaos, directing her minions in what appeared to be an ever-more complex hive of activity.

"Persimmons, I want all operational units retrofitted with the tempest-shielded systems. Next, get the tappers onto the isles grids, general search patterns, usual precautions, route it through the blind relay-loops in Bloody Bay. Finally, get me coffee. Lots of coffee. File target parameters under code-name "Noodle Soup". Find this git.

Tha makes her no more over-powered than any other precog, really.

I have a rule as a gm when I run precog in most games. The clarity og a precog varies inversely with the cube of the distance in time away it is, which basically means if it's more thana a couple of seconds into the future, it tends to be massively fuzzy and vague. I flange this a little for unconscious precog based on reaction time (aka Jedi p0werz) as I've used for characters a time or two, but generally, I find the best defense against overzealous precogs is the idea that if they can actually see it coming, it's probably so nebulously vague to be meaningless.

Then there is Sara. Indestructible, yes. Undefeatable and omnipotent... Hell no.

Damage isn't everything. (Pre-emptive self-excuse)

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demonstration."

I think the thing is, some people still have a very limited view of the comic and hero genre, namely that it's all "spandex and powerz" (and spandex is, as we know, a privilege, not a right.)

((Insert obligatory rant about lack of long hair styles on male toons here due to genre short-sightedness))

And, of course, Damia.

Richard shook his head at the screen and fireworks, then turned to face Sara.

"I'm certainly up for that suggestion. When were you thinking of?"

"We'd have to find him first."

sara looks around. "Anyone fancy making a posse and going and finding him and giving him a beating?"

"Unless SERAPH has a blast chamber in the hazmat labs. Which I'd imagine they do." Sara pondered this for a moment. "Actually, yes." She started a swift, and hurried comm conversation with the people over at the FBSA.

The voice came from behind. "Or there's another way of achieving the same effect."

Sara stepped around them, and examined the car professionally. "You see, there are a couple of things our friend forgot to exclude." She took a small tag out of a pocket and laid it on the bonnet of the car, then spoke into her GoDComm. "Patch me through to port control. Tie in with Portal Corps and ATC. She mutters a few more numbers and letters, co-ordinates mainly.

"Send it a number of miles straight up. Doesn't matter if it explodes after that. The reentry temperature will kill the virus, easily."

I'm not particularly worried about this one to be honest, Its ok... but not an essential purchase for me as I don't personally intend to roll a toon named Battle Pidgeon.
