Foley read my fortune the other night and then proceeded to dive into a helicopter.

Alright this is the background story for my Fire/Therm/Levianthan Corruptor, Maggie Mae.
A boisterous voice boomed out from the corner of the Dirty Dragon pub in Sharkhead Isle. "Oy Maggie Mae! Bring us another round, eh boys?!" Simultaneous cheers from the other shipmates erupted in agreement with their companion while remarks about how they'd all fancy a go at her were drowned out.
A pretty Irish redhead emerged from under the counter up front and she looked at the drunkenly confident sailor straight in the eye. He grinned up at her with sleepy eyes and he raised his half empty glass in a silent toast to her. The lady known as Maggie Mae simply smiled and rolled her eyes a bit, obviously used to the attention.
As Maggie was preparing the fresh drinks, she had her back turned as a burly pirate ship captain burst through the doors. Everything seemed to stop for a moment while everyone, except Maggie, turned to see the man who had just arrived. He came forward in large strides and was already at the bar before anybody could blink.
"Hullo Maggie, darling. Is this the day you'll agree to be mine?" He said in a slow, deep, and cunning voice.
Maggie had flinched at his familiar, distasteful voice, but luckily the man didn't seem to notice as he was hungrily surveying the woman he longed to have as she turned to face him. Her red curls tangled about her shoulders and she stared at him with her fierce, emerald eyes.
"It'll be a cold day in hell before that, Mister O'Riley," Maggie said in her most calm and innocent voice she could muster. Laughter echoed throughout the Dirty Dragon at Maggie's bold reply as she walked out from behind the counter to serve the other sailors their beverages. O'Riley turned to give a deadly look to everyone around the bar and silence followed Maggie every step of the way. He marched up behind her and seized a lock of her hair to tuck it behind her ear, and in doing so she inadvertently turned towards him as he forcefully caressed her cheek. Cat calls and a few hoots of laughter from the crowd followed.
"If ye won't come willingly, then I'll hafta take matters into me own hands," he murmured so that only she could hear. With that, O'Riley turned on his heel and he was gone faster than he appeared.
Maggie stood dumbfounded for a few moments, then shrugged it off and continued her shift for the rest of the night.
Four nights passed before rumors began spreading about Maggie Mae's disappearance. Nobody knew exactly what had happened other than a few sailors that were recounting the tales of the dread pirate O'Riley and his lust for the sweet Irish waitress who couldn't care less about him. All they could do is drown yet another one of their sorrows in the Dirty Dragon while poor Maggie seemed to be lost for good.
---
Three weeks passed for Maggie before she caught a break on O'Riley's awful pirate ship. She had been held as his prisoner on board as they sailed around aimlessly (to her knowledge anyway) and was rarely let out of her cabin. Though with Maggie's natural charm, O'Riley's crew was awfully shy and bashful around her and would often help sneak her out for some fresh air and real food at her request. She even learned all of their names and duties. In fact, she was much more friendly than ever except when O'Riley came about in order to spite him.
In order to try and redeem himself in Maggie's eyes, O'Riley tried every trick in the book, but most of all he showered her with gifts and precious jewels. One item in particular caught Maggie's attention when O'Riley mentioned it being a Circle of Thorns heirloom, but hell if she would acknowledge anything from her captor. So she casually tossed it aside, seemingly uninterested as per usual, and ended up getting a hold of it later through his crew.
As Maggie examined the fiery red jewel, she decided to try it on since she thought it would complement her hair. Almost immediately after, Maggie's hands felt insanely hot, and she could see that fire was emerging from them.
"A Circle of Thorns heirloom, huh...?" Maggie wondered aloud.
---
Before nightfall, Maggie had singlehandedly taken over O'Riley's ship. She yelled something about being too hot to handle, in which case O'Riley obviously tried to counter-attack her through action, which resulted in him getting severely burned. He had no other choice but to jump overboard to try and cool down, and was never seen after that. O'Riley's crew was much happier to be under the leadership of Maggie Mae anyway.
Not ever wanting to be held captive like that again, Maggie Mae chose to live a life of piracy, and a damn good one at that with the aid of her newly found powers. In fact, her misdeeds were so well known of that Captain Mako recognized her talents and decided to made her his protege. With Maggie's agreement, of course.
End!
Also here's some of Maggie's costumes.

I am so all over this, love this event!
-
I have class all day Saturdays so I won't make it. Also I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna be busy badging on all my toons for Halloween event badges like Zombies, Banners, ToTing, and killing Halloween GMs - which is totally a better sounding event to me, and more like a week beforehand so people aren't busy with their real life Halloween endeavors.
Also I haven't seen people participate in events like killing Zombies or doing Banners in such a long time, it'd be great to do those zone events again. -

*revives thread*
Kinda stopped promoting the channel for a while since I was gone for a majority of the summer and all last month. But going to try again, and I'm sure it'll help keep Triumph active. So just let me know if you need an invite.
Just a side note, I don't think this channel is just about killing stuff - it's also how MB and I seem to team daily. We team with friends, make new friends, and overall just have a great time on the game we love. Getting back to the core of what makes Triumph the friendly server. That is all. -
I'll be entering this as well, Toxic. I'm sure I'll convince MB to enter too, can't resist little contests like this.
-
I could do the run for this Saturday since it's scheduled so late. Count me in if it's still a go.
Kay Parfait - Ice/Emp Controller -
I'm down for these, and even an MoLGTF if possible 'cause I'll be needing all of them on my ice/emp troller. I'm pretty much available except Tuesdays/Thursdays/Saturdays until at night.
-
Congrats both you guys!
Troll better watch out, he may think that he has the upper hand now, but when he sees his baby girl batting those eyelashes at him she'll get whatever she wants.
-
Won't be able to make it Wednesday either. GL to those participating!
-
Grats to those who got MLGTF! Definitely up for one of those with my ice/emp troller whenever.
-
If you guys run it again I'd like to join with my main, an Ice/Emp Troller.
-
Invites been sent out. I'm off to visit MB until June 6th so if you'd like an invite I'll send it out ASAP, or can also ask @Magenta Bolt for one. Just send me a PM, post here, or send an offline tell in game and I'll send the invite so you get it when you next login.

Quote:Yeah totally know where you're coming from. We've done LGTFs before and fought all the way through, even the psychic mish! It's always a blast and completely refreshing.Intresting concept for a channel. I'd say 8 times out of 10 i'd much rather kill everthing in sight then stealth/speed stuff. And don't even get me started on LGTF's. I never run them anymore cause people just seem to refuse to even try and save the women and child. It bugs me. ALOT. Not to mention i enjoy fighting AV's and totally skip out on like 2 av fights. I'd imagian this won't be an issue with this channel.. so i'm game.
See below for my globals. Thanks in advance!

I think Troll is trying to say that they're doing Eden this Saturday now because we only had time for Numina last Saturday. And I don't think I can make it because I'm swamped with stuff to do for school since our last week is next, and I have so much to do still so I'll prolly be there all weekend. Then MB and I will miss the next two TFs 'cause I'm flying out to visit him in a week for a week and a half (won't be back 'til June 6th).
-
Quote:I'm definitely up for it, but only time I can probably make it is this weekend. Rest of the time my nights are taken up by classes as finals are coming and a week from now I'll be visiting MB for a week, so until I'm back and have some more free time will be when I'm available.I asked around about this on TW 2.0 and they said the same thing, although if anyone is game to try before they put in the green mito fix let me know!

Quote:I don't stay at the door. Believe me, I try and kill as much as I can, but I usually end up dead on an ITF because of all the ambushes people leave behind, and that's just one example. People run ahead and leave everyone behind. I even heard someone say "Whoever gets left behind is left behind." It's the whole reason I quit doing ITFs a long time ago because it's the #1 TF for merits and sped down to half an hour. Now people do the same with every other TF I end up on through TW. In any case, it's the complete opposite how I like to run teams.to sum up for supah clarification: speeding = good. plowing = good. this channel idea = good. people staying at the door while other few speed = not good and is their own fault for doing so.
Quote:They get what the channel's about and appreciate it. Even cancer said it: "its a nice idea." He said "nice"! I didn't know he could even do that.
The problem they have is people in this thread criticizing the speeders. The thread should be about plowing, not about the problems with speeding. Plowing is great for some, speeding is great for others. this channel should celebrate for the former and get over the latter.
Quote:Besides, we don't have anything against people who speed things all the time, we just play the game differently and there are others who don't like to stealth things as well, so we're trying to build a community for it.Quote:Some people may see that ghosting missions is also "playing their toons," but to me, if you're just standing around at a door doing nothing, that's too boring for me and I don't pay $15 a month for it. Besides, there are plenty of people who actually feel the same way as me, so I don't see what the problem is. I love Triumph, there are a lot of people who are my friends that ghost things all the time, and that's all fine and dandy. I would just like to play the game differently is all.
So can we drop this? I'm not criticizing you guys for speeding a TF. I personally just don't like speeding things. It's my opinion, and there are people out there who feel the same way, otherwise this channel wouldn't be doing so well. If anybody would like an invite, just post here or send an offline tell to @Kay Parfait and I'll send you an invite ASAP. -
Quote:again, *I am in no way saying the channel is a bad idea*, its a nice idea. im simply saying your arguement against speeding is A) not true 95% of the time and B) your choiceQuote:I agree. Any time I've run a speed TF/SF, I tell people to kill as much as they want in each mission before the objectives are finished.
-
Quote:I'm just sending invites to peoples globals as people want to join so they get it next time they login, so lookout for one shortly.Who do I bug to get an invite shot my way?
I'm always asking if we're stealthing a TF but don't really mind doing most of 'em either way. And I suppose I could stop being an antisocial recluse outside TFs.
We can go around and around this all day, but I'm not biting. We made a new channel for a purpose and you can like it or not. I'm not forcing people to join.
