    Yes.
  2. Bad Idea: Finding the spammer's identity IRL, hunting them down, and constantly shouting "POWER LEVEL FOR CHEAP! $0.99 PER LEVEL!!" everywhere they go until they go insane.

    Good Idea: building up Hero/Villain Merits for stuff you need.

    (Off-Topic: If you paid attention to the first several posts, you'd notice that htey all followed the original pattern which is the same one I reminded people of earlier. So I did, in fact, make a plan and stick to it.)

    Mostly because we've already seen them. Y'know? Oh look, another angel.

    Let's hope for something new for the Battalion.
    No, they were atheistic long before Battalion's attack.

And there is a very sharp streak of anti-villain in Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs, where the audience is almost rooting for the character in spite of his obvious evil nature, particularly at the end.
    Don't forget Mr. Freeze, esp. DCAU. Or the Ice King, esp. after "Holly Jolly Secrets".
  5. Yep. Hence Samuel referring to "Face" and "Heel". In a show with a sympathetically played anti-villain and a not-so sympatheic anti-hero, where both seem to be equally evil, things get confusing. That's probably why there tends not to be that many nuances between "Hero" and "Villain". When it can be pulled off, however, it can be mind-blowing.
  6. ...Uh...or you could just ask that minimum team requirement be reduced, which would likely be much easier to code.
  7. I'm with Zaloopa here, man. Just because you don't redognize it as a valid character Archetype doesn't mean it's not there. It's like saying that the Well stuff never...um...I think my analogy would be lost on you here, V...

    That is what we tropers call a Type III Anti-Villain.

    Nah. My villains are just there to crack alien skulls and sell the tech they find on the Black Market.

  12. Er. Ma. GERD!! That's awesome! That'd be a perfect way for Paragon Studios to bleed-I mean raise some extra money by selling action figures of your characters!!

  14. Seems good, Telepath, but why on Earth would a heroic character ever want to be called "Hera"? She was a monster! She threw her own son (Hephaestus) off of Mount Olympus! Her only son! Zeus's only son who wasn't a product of his...shenanigans! I love the costume work there, but the name was a terrible pick!
  15. Any news on this? I lack the time to go buy any comics lately.
  16. Sounds good, Wendy, but that might make things a wee bit more complicated as far as teaming, unless they added alignment to the reticle. If they did that, it'd be the perfect solution!

    Let's just say that I disagree that Sam's comments would have been improved by reducing their length.
    I did not say that they needed to be shorter. When I am not too sleep-deprived to read them, I find Sam's posts are actually improved by his verbosity. He takes a lot of time to put in details and clarify his ideas, which makes it very easy to have a conversation with him despite the limitations of Fora.

  21. This looks like a job for...Dark_Respite/Samuraiko!!
  22. Well, as far as Rommy, we know from his dialogue that he got nothing from the Box, so perhaps in a fit of jealousy and vengeance he made his pact with the Path of the Dark later on...
  23. No, it's:

    Good Idea: <Whatever>


    Lemme restart the chain:

    Good Idea: Setting your missions to x8 when you hit fifty for VR drops.

  25. What I'm hoping for on Genesis is a high-powered Clicky-Buff.

    Power:
    *Core gives DMG and ToHit Bonus like Buildup
    *Radial adds recharge and/or a damage proc

    Vitality:
    *Core gives +Regen, +Recovery
    *Radial gives +MaxHP, +MaxEnd

    Defense:
    *Core gives Def/Res buff
    *Radial gives Absorb

    Mesmer:
    *Core gives +Mez
    *Radial gives +Special, +Debuff

    (The buffs would prolly be applied to active pets, too.)
