Black respawns, and stares Immortal in the face.
"Not very tan, are you?"
"Comes with being dead."
"Oh, sorry...I didn't know."
"It's alright, happens all the time. No way you could have known."
Immortal shoots Black in the forehead, creating the first-ever character death caused by another character made by the same poster.

Black enters the thread, and laughs at his foolish fellow scrappers for misinterpreting the purpose of the gale. He stands back and waits for an enemy to come flying at him, letting the poor thug become a new decoration on his broadsword's blade.

Immortal respawns inside of Black Violet. Immortal dies of suffocation, Violet of indigestion.

Immortal tapdances himself into the afterlife.

Immortal peacefully slaughters Experiment for his half-arsed kill post.

hahaha. Roleplaying at its finest. Or worst? You be the judge.

Well acknowledging it's a joke and then harshly criticizing it sort of defeats the purpose of a joke, which is that it's never to be taken seriously. And I still don't understand the relevance of the drug rings. I have indeed played through numerous drug ring missions and storylines, but maybe there's something more I'm not aware of.

Anyway, this is one of those situations where "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all" comes into play. As cliche as that sounds, it's quite true, seeing as really your post wasn't constructive at all because I doubt he started this thread for a debate. His joke wasn't hilarious or anything, but it would have been better to play along or move on.

I'm really not one to start arguements anyway. At least I don't like doing it. So perhaps agreeing to disagree and moving on would be in the best interest of all parties?

Players, and i've been playing a while now, enough to get to 40 once, and then get a few alts in the late 20's, don't role play, unless of course, we meet another spider-man clone, or x-men or even bobbo the clown. the role-playing u seem to fathom is lacking and not needed. Shoot and move on, Shoot and move on, Shoot and up yours!

The funny part is you could have eight characters at level 40 and it wouldn't increase your credibility in my mind. Roleplaying is entirely different and you could play and 'beat' mmorpgs your whole life without understanding it unless you tried. We don't feel the need to explain it unless you feel the need to learn it.

Immortal respawns, and lights Sharpe on fire. Sharpe dies. Immortal laughs.

Immortal kills a yak from 200 yards away. With armor-piercing bullets.

Well, your points are well made, but...no they aren't. :P The police drones could be hovering through the streets (or, heck, pushed around the streets) and eliminating all the crime, at least in the low level areas. The policemen ARE equipped to take out the low level thugs, and considering the city they live in they could PROBABLY have a SWAT team with Rikti technology fighting higher level foes. And where did the drug network come into his initial post? How do you know he doesn't know about it?

Personally, I agree with him that it's kind of funny how crime never ceases, despite how efficient us superheroes are. But there are good arguements you could have made instead. Like that criminals are born every day, either through gangs or mutations or other dimensions. In that way, it makes very much sense that there's a never-ending supply. Along with the whole "in one day, out on the streets the next" thing that happens in real life.

I'm not sure if you were flaming him or not...partly because I've seen your posts and I wouldn't expect it from you. But if you were, think twice. Especially since his post WAS a joke, not a complaint. Besides, his opinion is valid, as is yours.

The Might blade of ra goes on a killing spree, then gets drunk and jumps off a bridge.

Immortal kills a group of nazis by tempting them with the Ark of the Covenant.

Immortal clips his fingernails. Somewhere in a third world country, a small girl no older than ten mourns the death of her pet rat. A rat that was loyal to her in all its years as her pet. The rat would accompany her to all the village meetings, and it always seemed to be smiling, which made the little girl smile. And now, the little girl smiles no more. Later on the same little girl will harbor dreams of stardom, and the village will save up enough money to send her to America, where she will strive for greatness but ultimately fail, becoming a waitress at Denny's for the rest of her days. This entire story will be documented in an E! True Hollywood Story.

Immortal accidentally swallows a fly, digesting and killing it.

Immortal respawns, is immediately smashed into pudding along with his post by the sheer size of the post above.

Sounds quite interesting. I'm not sure if I'd be able to do it or not, (i have so many characters involved in different groups), but I'll continue to look into it.

Immortal breaks the fourth wall, and it falls on SoulStrike, snapping his neck and killing him.

Immortal reloads his sniper rifle after getting a perfect head shot on Baron Blood. He then scans the skies. High above him is some anonymous hero flying about. A man next to Immortal says,
"I bet you can't shoot him through the eye."
Immortal smirks.
"Left or right?"
There is a tell-tale bang that rings through the vastness of the thread. It, of course, goes without saying...

...that at that moment someone somewhere on the earth had to have died, due to statistics alone.

Immortal uses his Robe of Fireblast +3 to torch everyone in the thread. They become fried, delicious, and dead.

Calash dies due to a newly discovered strand of the bubonic plague that somehow found its way into his morning coffee.

Immortal back-hands Flaming spirit to death. The masses rejoice, and there is much feasting.

The Kill Thread Sentry Gun (tm) strikes down upon Flaming spirit with hot lead vengeance for not obviously killing anything in his post.

Immortal /dances everyone to insanity. They all die of old age.

Immortal hits his head on a great oak door
And falls down to the floor
He wakes up hours later, weak and soar
And jumps to his feet with a mighty roar

But then Edger Allen Poe's ghost kills him.

Immortal avenges the kittens. Then he kills The Mad Welshmen. Twice. And once more.

Are you asking why (or how) heroes exist in the City of Heroes universe? Because I do not believe that's ever been explained. I think it's just supposed to be an alternate reality where things like toxic waste giving you powers and mysitical artifacts giving you strange abilities can actually happen. Like in a lot of comics. There's no singular reason why all the heroes got their powers. That's where the origins come in. Magical origin people might have studied ancient incantations, while Science origin people had some life-altering disaster. But perhaps I misread your post? Hope that helps.
