Some nice fixes and updates. But there was one I didn't see for the TUT...

Dunno 'bout anyone else, but I've never ever been able to get the "join in progress" option to work. I've done it a couple times with DFBs (and one UGT) where I know for certain that one is in progress and NOT locked... but was unable to join.
Has this been looked into? or am I missing some "trick" to it?

Conga Rats?

Looks like a good start.

I look forward to seeing the development. Have always enjoyed that aspect of watching artists work.

.

A source revealed yesterday that Rangle does indeed carry influence outside of the game;
"I actually got into trouble at work because of him.
There was a person delivering a load at our receiving dock whose last name happened to be 'Rangle'. Of course, I instantly exclaimed 'Oh no! it's a Rangle Plot™!'"
There was no mention as to how long they were detained by security.

I disagree.
The problem IS the game.

While folks may be willing to play it as a continuous "neverending" game, it does not lend itself to "winning".

There really is no reasonable way to set this game up to choose "winners".
And if you're going to change the rules, then it becomes a new game.

This game has had 3 weeks for folks to get on board. It has failed every week.
And the time frame? really? Folks seem to post in the Multimedia Genius and Screen Caption games within the time frame just fine.

It's fairly common to give a child subject matter for drawing projects...

Family/home
Landscapes
Christmas
Summer
Fun things

etc.

This particular project (Monster Project) was something started to help children address their fears by drawing the things that scare them. I have a friend whose 2 1/2 year old has begun to have nightmares, so it makes sense.

So, the subject matter is what it is.

The artist has simply taken the children's sketches and applied advanced art techniques to them. I think it actually helps adults have a better idea of what may be going through a child's mind.

FINALLY!!!!

Someone even more cinematically challenged than myself!!

On account of a rather strict upbringing, I was not allowed to watch movies or much TV (we didn't have one). The occasional bit of TV I did catch was usually at friends houses or at Gra'ma's house (and that was very carefully monitored).

By the time I was 10, I began to rebel, and watched as much on HBO as I could on summer vacations (spent with Dad... in another state).

I was 12-ish before I saw my first movie in the theatres.... Cujo, of all things. My second movie was Raiders of the Lost Ark.

In any case, despite my newfound addiction to TV, and eventually getting a BFA in theatre (which included classes on movie history); I never really got into the habit of going to the movie theatres. So there are still many gaps to fill.

But Freitag, you've got me beat. lol

Here are a few, dredged from memories of rebelliously sitting in front of the TV, watching HBO... (forgive me if they've been mentioned already)

The Dark Crystal
NeverEnding Story
Muppet Movie
Risky Business
Legend
Victor Victoria
Conan (Arnold's original)
Krull
Red Sonja
Secret of NIMH

Just a few, not all necessarily awesome, but I've seen lots others already listed... lots of good stuff to choose from.

Good luck on this endeavor.

I believe the arcane version of the beacon will bounce you back to AP.
The tech version, however, supposedly takes you to Echo Galaxy.
The only other way to Echo Galaxy is through Oro, which is gated to lvl 14+ characters.

So, the question becomes, do you want your super low lowbies to have access to Echo Galaxy?
If yes, then you may want to keep a tech version of the beacon at your base.

.

Keeping in mind that a Consolidated List does not necessarily mean "Do all these things!", but rather "Hey, here's a bunch of ideas to pick from"....

The things that stand out for me are;

I'm one of those who is terrible at multitasking, I get so focused on fighting, and with all the graphics, I often miss a ding.

Also, as others have mentioned, when in lowbie farms, it seems that there is a ding every other minute, so I usually say, "PermaGratz to all who level" at the beginning. Then at the end, I'll say something like, "So how many dings did we all get?". That is usually followed by a chorus of "awesome" and "gratzies" all around.

When I DO catch a ding on higher level TFs/mishes, I don't always use the same phrase. I tend to personalize it with a little silliness.

I do not like cheesecake...

But I do like pie....

I like all different kinds of pie....

But I don't want pie for every single meal...

If I were to have pie for every single meal, I don't think I'd like it as much.
I might even *gasp* get tired of pie.

So, in order to keep pie special and enjoyable, I prefer to consume it in moderation.

.

Apparently, Rangle has enlisted the assistance of Warboss, the very person who started accusing Rangle of plotting, to defend him in the Court of Public Opinion....

Surely this can only be considered further evidence of Rangle's insidious powers of obfuscation and persuasion.

.

Well.... considering the limit on the number of members a SG can have is 150...
and the max amount of character slots you can have on a server is 48...

I'd say you could conceivably have 48 alts all in one SG...

.

P-wiki has a page on the Paragon Rewards Program.

Apparently, the "meter" along the side of the Rewards Tree page is supposed to tell you what bonus rewards you get at each level. But I also have not seen the "unlocks" mentioned in any of the popups.

Somewhere, in the pile of Dev/Community posts, there is a breakdown... might even be in one of the patch notes. But until the forums are fixed (hopefully tomorrow), I'm not inclined to go digging.
