Although I don't share the view, I do understand people who don't want Fortunes for concept reasons because they do last a very long time.

Generally I'm happy to be buffed with two exceptions:
1) Disruption Field - more a buff by default than a true but I find the rings a bit disconcerting
2) Speed Boost - I very rarely have any interest in this because ** for me ** the negatives outweight the positive

I do not understand why CoX has not yet implimented a system of buff prompts.
At the very least:
* Accept all buffs
* Decline all buffs
* Accept team buffs only

I understand that it would be too hard to have an entire list of buffs to be accepted to declined in the menu options; but couldn't the above be done?

I don't really understand the grumpyness about this; tolerate someone elses point of view and try and find the most satisfactory answer for all.

When power customization came out, I pretty much stopped playing melee because everyone's brilliant powers made it really hard to see. When I do power customization, I try to ensure people aren't going to get blinded and anything which has the potential to be annoying (EG Wormhole) or leaves me in danger (EG any nuke) is obvious.

I had a kind of idea regarding this, where Recluse and his cronies, in Praetoria, run subtle, long-game plans to gradually topple Tyrant's regime.

Stefan himself is never seen; he's Simon Jester, the ghost that just can't be caught. Whether it's because he's actually dead, or is just that good is up to the person writing.

His lieutenants are Sirocco, King Crab, Admiral Orca, and the Banshee.

Sirocco is probably the least changed from COV canon, except he's at peace with himself. He was a freedom fighter before; he still is now.

King Crab is the alternate Black Scorpion, a master of technology (admittedly self-taught) and a terror in his massive battle armor. He's especially skilled at 'MacGyvering' and juryrigging; a lot of his gear is salvaged equipment that somehow works.

Admiral Orca is the alternate Captain Mako, and is the most changed. He's far bigger and bulkier, though he's still quick on his feet. Devastating in combat, his personality is far more refined that one expects (think Henry McCoy with a cetacean theme). He commands the fleets of ships that act as refugee camps from Tyrant's rule.

The Banshee is the alternate Ghost Widow. Once she was Stefan's lover, but she was killed by Tyrant. Unfortunately for Tyrant and his Praetorians, she didn't /stay/ dead -- she is bound to the ideals espoused by Stefan. Only when the very last shred of freedom is crushed under Tyrant's boot will she vanish.

Opinions?

Oh, wait. MA arcs don't count?

Never mind.

I got the idea while the cable guy was working on our lines and I was flipping through my old CDs trying to find something off-line to amuse myself with. I saw I still owned my old DOOM discs and there ya go...

Also, do you know a way for Chrome to disable signature pictures in a similar way that Greasemonkey works for Firefox?

What I meant is, before Hitler joined the Nazi party and started his propaganda, they were a small political party that no one cared about. Without Hitler Nazis would likely have never became such a big political party or win any election, and likely would either died out or remained small to this day. So in the form that most people know the Nazi Party would not have existed.

However, lately there has been an issue that's getting worse, with people using ridiculously tiny text (and not for sarcasm or "asides"), really bad fonts (including our rednames...stop doing that!), or really terrible color choices. For a recent example, this is NOT the worst offender I've seen. Just in case she edits it to more sane colors: that is a comment in neon green, followed by a parenthesized comment in neon blue, followed by a line of neon pink. (Note that I'm not making fun of her. Amerikatt can be adorable, but that was just...awful.)

Is there a script that strips/overwrites font size/face/color formatting from posts? Preferably one that I can turn on and off easily, since guides and such often include legitimate changing of font style.

(Yes, I know I am inviting trolls and wannabe-comedians to post in this thread with horrific formatting.)

Those screenshots are telling. The different servers are different universes, with slightly different alternate histories. On Virtue, if your hero exists at all, she had tea with breakfast instead of the coffee her doppleganger did on Union or Infinity. She flies over a different crowd on her way to work in Talos depending on what server you're on when you log in etc.

So how do we name these? Virtue = Alpha Alpha 0-1? Freedom = Alpha Alpha 0-2, Union = Alpha Alpha 0-9 etc. etc.?

When you look it that way, the villains are smart to make it so many steps for the average hero to reach them.

Is it good design, I'm not entirely sure. But does it make sense given the context of villainy trying not to be foiled by just /anybody/, that I'm sure of. The hero that doesn't bother to do the legwork of reaching your hideout is one less hero to bother you.
