Remember way back in the day when this thread got started and everyone was like “WOW those are great resistance costume pieces, I can’t wait to wear them, splat, splat, splat,” and “Oh super keen, first I changed my desktop to a lolz cat and now my crippling depression doesn’t seem so bad anymore, because I have a reason to live again, I get to wear glowing stuff.” Well, get out a mop and find something sharp. That picture is of a NPC, not a new costume set.

Me so sorry about that there wasn’t a clearer explanation of what was going on in the screenshot, I really am. But when you get down it and think about this rationally, this is really your fault, you jumped to a conclusion. You know I told you a thousand times not to do that, but I guess I need to teach you another lesson in the silence of the basement, next to the treadmill you don’t use anymore. Looks like you and I won’t be going over to your mothers for dinner like you planned. Canceled! The writing is on the wall baby, you are going to just have to tell the neighbors how clumsy you are, and just deal with it. Let the guilt of your wrong doings lead you on a path to righteousness. You’re welcome.

See how I turned that around, take a note kids.

In this episode, the taciturn captain confronts the most mercenary of his crew about having tried to steal one of the bulls they had been hired to ship between planets. The crew member, a tough guy ironically named Jill, is the show's comic relief and consistently pushes the limits of believable stupidity.

'C'mon, wasn't but one little bull out a' the whole herd. Nobody'd a' noticed!" sputters Jill.

'I noticed, Jill. And what do you conjure you would a' done with one little bull out here in the middle of space anyway?'

'Well let's see... awful lonely out here and Bessie's a mighty fine conversationalist. What d'ya think? Coulda' sold it--buyer already lined up.'

'Go to your cabin, Jill. We'll talk on this later.'

Once Jill leaves the room, the captain opens a door to expose two eavesdroppers: the ship's pompous, over-educated doctor and his crazy little sister. 'I expect you two heard all that?'

The crazy sister ponders: 'Bessie is a girl's name, too...', but the Doctor interrupts: 'You're going to let that venal imbecile stay on the ship? That man is dangerous!'

The captain responds. 'Jill? Well, venal part ain't none of my business, but I wouldn't worry about him being dangerous to you. He's like Dr. Aeon, and not just because of that thing with the bull. Sure, Dr. Aeon talks tough about shutting down television, but five seasons is a healthy long life on prime-time for a show about a time traveling scientist. You're making the same mistake about Jill that forum posters make about the computer. Neither one is dangerous in its place. Computers aren't a problem as long as you watch television while you use them. You can even watch television on the computer.’

The captain turns toward you. ‘The Television appreciates your concern and support Forum Posters, but don't avoid the computer on account of the Television. We're all friends on the same side. The red side. Everyone but Aeon. I hear he's been spending all his time in blue side AEs these days. Is that what friends do? Will you play CoV and watch Television, Forum Posters?’

Meanwhile, we’ve been growing in size and have had some exciting staffing promotions and changes occur recently that we’d like to share with you – especially because some of the individuals involved are about to start interacting here on the boards as new red names!


Always willing to jump in and get his hands dirty, Matt “Positron” Miller has handed over day-to-day management of the Design Team to Melissa “War Witch” Bianco so that he can focus on the critically important End Game system in addition to a few other “top secret” initiatives. We’re certain that Posi has made this selfless hands-on sacrifice not only to ensure that the End Game is the best it can possibly be, but also to make Melissa’s life a living…er… a lovely educational and professional growth experience. So congratulations and good luck to War Witch who now leads the Design team, boldly forging CoH’s path into the future.

Roughly translated, it means 'Don't stand around jabbering when Rikti are invading"



For those who will try and translate the binary, as far as I know it's gibberish, it's just a quote from Red Dwarf that I wanted an excuse to use.

Do I need to have a open character slot in the receiving server or does the character slot move with the character?

I would love to move one of my characters over but really don't want to delete an existing one to fit him in.

It's definitly something else to do, but it's no more than a distraction as is AE now.

Haven't seen him since.

Plus, I'm rather sure you've never actually been in what would amount to a freefall into the abyss. When you or someone you are close to is actually subjected to a completely uncaring system that will allow them to continue falling forever, then I'm reasonably sure you're going to pull a complete about face on your "I'd rather fall into the abyss" comment. When a single mistake completely ruins your life, it's not a good environment to encourage any kind of risk taking.

Excellent job with the Libertarian pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstaps, I-don't-need-anyone's-help-but-my-own speech, though. It's complete economic and social bupkis without any bearing on a world outside of the sheltered conceptualizations of those that the current system has never failed before and thereby never had the chance to prove its merits to. Still, you're free to believe it and continue to believe it, no matter how complete wrong it may be, without fear of repercussion thanks to the very safeguards you so adamantly rail against.

It exists as a continuum with the extremes being bad and the stable, moderate areas being good.

I can't count the times I've seen people say that clipping issues won't bother them, they just want "Moar stuff nao!"

Now as soon as he relents and gives us what we are constantly demanding for, people turn on him like a pack of rabid ankle-biting lap-dogs and complain about the trivial clipping issues.
