I haven't done the Mender Silos TF yet. (Had to stop doing them for a few years because of the previous PC and time constraints.)
I have 2 50s, both Blasters, the Fire Blaster (Monster Child) the most useful in groups. -
What's the description people get of Thomas Mane in the new CoV clone missions?

Holy bass drums, Batman! That's awesome!
I show you my love with a +rep.
Edit: okay, you have rep disabled, but I did it anyway. Incredible piece, EK! -
It's been so long, I don't even know what CoP was supposed to be any more. Anyone who has been looking forward to it for all these years can't possibly be anything but disappointed by it when it comes out, because it's almost certainly going to just be a hard TF.

News to me. Never heard of it until now. Not everyone is familiar with every little landmark, and it's kind of ridiculous to expect people to. -
There was rockage of the blue and yellow variety.

I'll bring Starina.

What's the wacky dress code for this one? Blue or yellow?

I really enjoyed running Posi with you guys last week, so I'd like to join in. I'm sure I have someone in that range on Virtue.

So who's invited to this?

Holy high-heel hottie, Batman!

I tried that, but my framerate went backwards and I ended up playing Issue 9.

I haven't seen a single demon summoner in Atlas, Talos or anywhere cool.

+ rep to All Star and Leandro.

This has always been my favorite sub-forum from day one, and it's all been great. I have a huge appreciation for Celtic Bolt's original posts where he was giving away his art for free, as well as Alex gifting me with one awesome sketch after another.

I didn't notice right away because the global channels and emails were down this morning but I see folks voted Lounge Crooner to have the best costume. Thanks!

Yeah, but it's not like the Black Market had squat for supply anyway.
Okay, snarky comment aside, having both the Market and our Globals down are nuisances. I'm biased, since I use both of these features.
In the mean time, I'm rotating alts as thier inventory of "Stuff I don't want to vendor for peanuts" gets filled. This is a good way to ensure that they all get thier Anniversary badges this time, and hey, it was time to move them for Day Jobs anyway. I recommend this.
Also: It's not like Global Channels haven't proven to be a fragile thing anyway, having broken multiple times in the past, often during Issue release, IIRC.
I can see why Severe is unhappy, I just feel that he is taking it to a higher level than needed and is expressing it in a way that is not the most effective towards getting solutions. I wish him (and all of us) luck in getting these two popular features back into operation.
As for Servere's complaints, I wouldn't know if he has valid issues or not, since I gave up reading his posts years ago. The atrocious lack of spelling, grammar and punctuation make me feel stupider for having tried to parse whatever it is he's attempting to say. -
I want that bug to happen to me, too!

Quote:Everyone gets annoyed at something. /em shrugOriginally Posted by Zikar
I think the Welsh would only get really angry if you called them English.
Conversely, differentiating between The Welsh and Scots but calling the English just "British" can annoy them (not me though).
One woman on a dog newsgroup was campaigning to get people to stop calling Newfoundland dogs "Newfies" because some wise-***** use that as a derogatory slam against *people* from Newfoundland. Even other residents of Newfoundland had never heard of that, though, and declared her to be overly sensitive. Whatchagonnado? -
Let us help you, Ten. I gots me ideas to burn.

Heh. While this thread is probably the wrong place for it, it could be argued that it's part of society and that people are simply reflecting that. They mean no harm and are simply going by the general world view of what is "the norm".

I specifically separated Warshield out because he's ancient, coming from a time before Wales and England were forcibly united. He doesn't recognize British rule. -
I probably have more robots and androids than any ethnicity, but I do like to play around with it. Here's a visual aid for the characters I'm going to list.
For a while I had a whole team of multicultural "Miss American" characters from different decades which reflected the changing times. The first was a blonde Ms. Liberty type (1950s), followed by a brunette Jewish heroine (1960s), who was succeeded by a black woman (1970s), who was followed by an android (1980s & 90s) who was succeeded by the current Miss American who is of Japanese descent. In the Alt Alphabet picture only the 1970s Ms. American and 2000s Miss American still exist. The rest I've deleted to make room for other characters.
I also have a character named Ms. Gaia who is intentionally a multicultural "woman of the world" who is a melange of ethnicities and has lived all over the globe.

Horrible is an understatement. Remember us by Tea instead. That's far more pleasant.
