Quote:I wouldn't feel as bad maybe, but the name Kallandra was taken from a pen and paper roleplay campaign run by a friend of mine over 12 years ago. It's my name dammit!Originally Posted by Coin
I've tried to do the same, there's at least 5 different globals using a toon called Coin on the old US Servers so far, I feel so.....un-special I even have written permission from the GM to use it! I wonder if whoever else is using it thought of it themselves or saw mine on the forum and thought "Hey that's a nice name for a character..." Yoink
*edit* So, that's now Virtue, Freedom, Triumph.... >.< -
My main account global remains @Kallandra, but someone decided to use my character name on Freedom and Virtue >.<
If they're roleplayers I sincerely hope they don't run in to the -real- Kallandra.
I've since felt the need to go to every other server and put my main character on them. I feel... meh

Heya all, just thought I'd start this thread so anyone affected with the Global name change could put what their old one used to be and their new one down so we know who you are now.
I'm still @Kallandra, but my alt account has yet to be re-named as all the ones I'd like are taken
-
I sincerely hope the poor NA person with @Dante as their Global knows what they're letting themselves in for!
They'll be forever confused with the famous EU dancing Dante
I really hope that they decide to change so our EU @Dante can keep his global.
Also, a farewell to all my EU friends about to lose their Global names:
@Beet : @Bunny : @Crimson Archer : @Dante : @Eleven : @Elizabeth Bathory : @Gangrel : @Lucius : @Night : @Omega Chief : @Q. : @Romanov : @Shadow Phoenix : @Tyger

Bingo bango, although we've had some suggestions about possibly recording the audio portion and hosting it elsewhere. Not sure how compelling listening to audio of me bumbling along would be. He soooo sounds like Wil Wheaton! Even looks a little bit like him in my opinion.

this to me sounds like an ace idea, and even though alot of people are now going, hopefully i can put myself down as a maybe too if theres still room, as luck has it i do actually have that weekend off as its like 4 days after my 21st
as i have no hinderances such as wife or kids all i need to do to find out wether its a yes, is to research train times/costs/switchovers from exeter to birmingham, also will need to check when my nearest payday to the event is and wether i need to save or not. finally i will need to buy a bag full of pro plus so i am able to stay awake for 48 hours
if my answer does turn into a yes i will bring my own laptop
I can put you down as a maybe There's currently 31 people attending that I'm aware of, so it might be a little crowded but you're more than welcome to come down and meet some of the other players
Global Gaming did say that there was space for 8 laptops in the main room, and a further 8 in the back room (although it might be a bit of a squeeze), so theoretically there should be space just for one more person. I'll be checking again with them in the next couple of weeks just to make sure! -
I didn't manage to make it along, but if I had I'd have asked them all who was coming to the player meet

Just wondering if this is gonna be a big thing in the future, maybe look at different locations as well? not the brim is bad but if more n more people want to go, staying at the place currently suggested is gonna be a issue. saying that i dont have a donkey of where we could go XD
More on that next year though! Got to get this years Player Meet all done and dusted first

Has the time for this been changed? Because in game we've just had the
"[Admin] Attention! In 30 minutes, City of Heroes and City of Villains will go down for daily server maintenance. The "downtime" window is two hours long but maintenance may or may not take that entire time. We will have the game back up as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!"
If the Americans don't know, it's only HALF PAST FIVE, which means the downtime is from 6pm till ? -
Quote:You have been assimilated....Originally Posted by Mr_Mac
I was there last year and would like to come along again this year for both days.
I've okay'd it with the missus, just need to make sure I have the funds available. Mainly for fuel as I'll be coming down from the north of scotland.
I'll have my own laptop with me again.
And I will be letting Kendai choose where we go for dinner again. That chinese was pretty good!
Meanwhile, perhaps those nearer or in Birmingham would like to provide a list of their finest eatery type places for us non Brummies. Or we can all just go to Wetherspoons

There was talk last year that GlobalGaming might be moving to larger premises near to Digbeth, and getting in more computers. If they do upgrade then that would be fantastic.
It's a little difficult finding something that's vaguely central, has all the amenities close by such as hotels/shops/eateries with the transport links and doesn't mind a small nutter in a wheelchair turning up and taking over the place for a weekend
If anyone has any ideas for next years meet* up, feel free to let me know and hopefully we can make it bigger, better and erm.. brighter?
*Unless Paragon Studios step in and do an official meet/greet+gaming weekend -
Quote:You've been added to the listOriginally Posted by The_Spad_EU
I should be able to attend both days (I'm terrible at planning anything more than a few hours in advance) as it's just down the road from me (I'm in Harborne) and I can bring my laptop (though I haven't actually tried playing CoX on it at any point, so I should probably do that).
In essence, despite looking like I'm totally uncoordinated here, you can put me down
I'm hoping there's going to be enough room for everyone, although it might be a bit of a tight squeeze!

Ah! So that's why all my Global Friends and all my Global chat channels have vanished. Great...

As it's also a co-op zone, you should really hold this in Cimerora, for that authentic slave market vibe

Still have it backed up on a USB so deleted and reinstalling it now, not much hastle. -

Frostleaf:
Q. Would you rather be an egg or a tomato?
A. I'd rather not be either, neither go well with chocolate! Did I mention that I like chocolate? Do you have any?
Q. Velma or Daphne, if you had to, which one?
A. Which one of them has the bigger bag of sweeties? I like sweeties, especially the ones with the fizzy stuff on them as they make my tongue go all frizzly and stuff, and oooh look a flower!
Q. Do you think it's true that Statesman once released a rap album called the 'Statesman Statement!' during his hip hop phase?
A. A what? Did he hurt himself?! How do you hop on your hips? It sounds really nasty! I bet he wasn't feeling very well at all you know. Was the rap album creature wild or tame?
Q. In an emergency who do you save a rich, but really ugly guy or a poor but good looking woman?
A. Save them from what? What kind of emergency? 'Cos if it's just one where they've run out of milk or something then I'm sure the rich person could save the poor lady by getting it for her or something like that.
Q. Did you know if you electrocute a panda its colours reverse?
A. *Big wide eyes* Really? But why would you want to do that? That's just mean!
Q. Would you rather have sausages for fingers or hard boiled eggs for eyes?
A. That's just a silly thing to ask! All the doggies would try and bite your hands off if you had sausages for fingers, and if you'd got eggs for eyes you wouldn't be able to see where you were going. You're funny! Do you have any sweeties? -
Quote:Speaking of things physically blowing up, what about RIKTI BOMBS... but of course, no one even notices those anymore, they just stand around talking about the freaking weather and what their latest fashion design is all about or some teen angst whilst explosions are happening all around. Bombs dropping everywhere blowing up civilians, bad guys and peoples houses. It's a freakin' nuclear bomb! (Nuclear blast Point Blank Area of Effect, Energy/Smashing, Damage over Time (Fire), Foe -Recovery)Originally Posted by Fanservice
I never said you can't have a 'plot' to blow it up, just that you can't physically blow it up. The outcome of that plot is that it is predestined to fail. If people are fine with that then by all means, go for it. However be aware that this is only one half of this discussion.
Basically, there's two 'problem' plots on show here.
1. Plots that would incite a city wide response. Mass Child Murder. Nuclear Bomb Threats. Giant Alien Spaceships with Planet Busters. These are plots a character can't really justify ignoring because they're simply too huge in their impact on the city.
2. Outcomes of plots that leave things in a state that the game world flatly contradicts. Bulldozing Perez Park. Toppling Atlas Statue. Turning Kings Row into Glass. Murdering Statesman. That sort of thing.
I'd elaborate on this, but it seems I need to be sure on what this discussion is about as people keep moving the goalposts. Do you have any problem with the above two rules?
Don't worry though, happens every week... just ignore it in character >.<
Hell, I've even heard people complaining how incosiderate the game mechanics are for trying to spoil their RP when they could quite easily incorporate the damn raid in to it.
For example evil character X (in disguise) could say, "Ah ha! My homing beacon brought them right here... perhaps this time they will destroy the Freedom Corps building mwhahaha!" could just sit there and watch - or hero character P "Oh my! Quick everyone! The Rikti are trying to bomb Freedom Corps again, but it looks like they're aiming for the statue this time! If it falls it will damage the building! Lets go diffuse those bombs before some innocent civilian gets seriously hurt!" would rush off and help diffuse the bombs.
Instead of just sitting around or dropping out of character, hero X could run inside the Freedom Corps building.. "Quick everyone, we can't possibly diffuse all those bombs! Let's get inside Freedom Corps basement, we'll be safe there till the raid is over."
This is one of the reasons I stopped taking my characters to Galaxy City... I'd find myself having to drop out of character, fight the Rikti invasion, then go back in to character as if nothing had happened. It's one of the things that irked me. But then, maybe I'm unusual in the fact that I use things that happen in game IC.
Those Paragon road crews, and the ones in the Isles really do manage to repair those roads fast though

Liz Bathory will become Liz Bathor
So far 12 of my friends will be affected by the global name collision

After that we've got a few events lined up which will definitely include cossie codes and more, but that's for the next few weeks
