The important thing to remember is that as far as Joe Gamer's happiness with General Chat is concerned, it does not matter whether or not Moderator X is a good or bad moderator. It only matters if Joe THINKS he's a bad moderator.

    So Joe finds a few friends that also dislike Moderator X and his group, and they create the channel Server Chat. Now, you have two "anything and everything" channels, and what's worse is that sooner or later, someone is going to disagree with Joe Gamer's mod style and make another channel.

    Whether Joe is a whiny little snot or a legitimate victim depends on the person and your interpretation. In most cases, if he's a jerk himself, his channel will fail. If enough people think he has a legitimate reason for being upset with Moderator X, his channel will succeed. In most of these cases who is the "good guy" and who is the "bad guy" is ENTIRELY up to interpretation.
  2. I was sitting AFK, and I got the same invite... Turned it down in confusion, but I would love to know what it is.
  3. This server seems to have a problem staying up. Boy, can I relate! HEEEYOOOO!

    But seriously folks!
  4. It was a lot of fun. It was a fantastic way to celebrate the return of Difficulty settings on TFs. Thanks mucho Devs!

    it's patching

    I'm playing this

    As I'm watching the patcher patch. This is the most exciting day of my LIFE
  6. 163 failed attempts?! They need to make a new badge just for you! "Not A Quitter"

    Super grats! Wish I had your patience, man.
  7. A Gadgetry Booster would be awesome. Jetpacks, new tech armor/costume pieces, new travel power boots/gloves, nifty temp power, an aura and or wings/cape.

    As for the costume change, no idea. Probably something neat!

    The Boot Myth

    I had a friend who was kicked for being a FF Defender, and not having the Medicine power pool. Seriously.

    But I have fantastic luck with teams. I have never been kicked for having an all Support FF Defender, or a petless MM, or having travel powerless toons before we got Jet packs and Ninja Run. I do, however, mostly team with people I know.

    This. You're either conforming to the majority, or conforming to the minority. Either way, you're still conforming, so you might as well stop caring, and do what you want.

    Vpvp

    The only turn off I have for PvP is the lack of people. So yeah, if we could get organized interest in it, I'd totally be down.
  11. No idea if this has already been suggested, but I'm going for it.

    Instead of giving us Patron or Epic pools to choose from, how about you add a Tenth power to Power sets, and a Fifth power to all power pools? On average, everyone has Two Power Sets, and Two Power pools, and with 10 more levels, that's 4 more earnable powers. They could be ultra powerful moves that still match the powers characters already have, thematically.

    For HEATs and VEATs, you'll have to do something completely different. Perhaps add a new Shape to Kheldians with 5 powers, or another small pool for Solders of Arachnos.

    Bet you're wondering what I was thinking of.
    I was too, weirdly enough.

    Good to see you back!
  13. I'm excited about the mission cap raise...

    *cough*

    I don't know why. Just REALLY excited about it. Giddy, in fact.
  14. Haha, still my favorite is getting the Petless Mastermind to 50. Oh, and getting the killshot on Lord Recluse.

    One thing that freaked many people out was getting Jump Kick, Combat Jumping, and Acrobatics. Some complained cause I didn't have a travel power. Others had no idea you could even DO that.

    Aye, I want to say it's been around since Grandville came out. Well, except the tea part. That sounds new.

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. *chin strokes* We'll see how it goes.

    Trying to spot out a trend here in hopes that it either gets fixed during this weekend, or for the next Reactivation weekend, but did your friend use a trial "Reactivate a friend for free!" code at any point?

    Haha, my friend snagged the name "All Access"
  19. I have two friends who both can not log in. They try, and it asks if they want to reactivate their expired account. If you hit yes, a website comes up, but has an error and does not load. If you hit no, nothing happens.

    I could have sworn they said March 2nd as well.. I went back to find my reference for this, and I couldn't find it anywhere. D: I hope it's tomorrow.

    Also, the Silver Mantis SF should be made accessible to those without VGs or those in small VGs.
    And the Devs are still working off of this list. Kudos, Devs. Seriously. You really do listen, and it rocks.
