Knightsedge

Well, Like you Sam, I prefer the glamorous type. My favorite is Elsbeth, a mastermind. She is a petite blond in a party dress whose zombie army is composed of her ex-boyfriend, his friends, and the police officers that responded to the disturbance (the one where she flipped out and killed them). Along with her undead cat muffin, she is blissfully unaware of reality. She's not really evil, just insane. She thinks she's at the mall.

The early mission confusion, I can certainly agree with. Almost all new players seem to have trouble with this.

The vet rewards ? Can't get to worked up about it. None are game breaking with most of them being free respecs and costume changes, but I can see the envy being a problem.

The only people I have tried to get to play have played because of the incredibly open nature of the character customization.

Actually I AM wrong, immediately after posting, I realized he was showing the pronounciation key not simply restateing the word. I briefly considered deleting my post , but decided I deserved any lumps thrown at me for posting in haste.

First Question, do they have dictionaries in South Carolina? I know they do in NC, but on the chance you're near one, please look up the word satire. Sa-ti-er .



[/ QUOTE ]

Um, might want to use your dictionary.

At least that's how my South Carolina dictionary spells it.

You should be writing guides for a living.

You do a very good job.

Keeping in mind, of course, that all truly foolhardy behavior is really only amusing to watch when viewing it from a respectful distance.

THIS made me laugh, sorta the COx version of "hey ya'll, watch this" " yeah ok Leroy, I'll just stand over here".


To the OP.
Great posting, very wry, British style humor.

I think I am missing something here. What did you mean by this ? All ATs have access to the same pools.
Not being snitty, just don't know what you meant.

Ah thank you, I only have one scrapper and he is only 14.

remember getting your 12" G.I. Joe's "hair" wet and having it all fall out? for the Joe's with the fuzzy hair that is. . .

[/ QUOTE ]

I remember that and Kung-fu Grip "Leopracy" That would cause the fingers to fall off. Now here is the kicker: I acutally found a Doll's Hospital (remeber those?) that would not only fix that but GI Joe Baldness as well. But just in case youwant the address, let me state that was in Brazil, and a few decades ago.

Should re-title this thread to "how to not be an annoying newbie". As for this post making you avoid ineptness, well i was told not to spam chat channel, and told not to blame others for my mistakes. What other advice, that is useful, could i use as a noob? You know things such as what powers to pick to help me down the line, types of groups to make to go on team missions, you know helpful kinda stuff?

[/ QUOTE ]

Good point, the biggest one I can think of is...

A team does not HAVE to have 8 members.
Sometimes Duos or Trios are all you need.

and

NO AT is ALWAYS needed, there are ways to acchieve victory with just about any team if you will communicate.

[ QUOTE ]
Actually, I'd say DON'T say "Level X looking for team." Since I don't know what the heck you are. If I want a tanker, I want to know the person I'm asking for is a tank, not a troller.

And don't yell to people just passing by "Why didn't you heal me!" (or more precisely, it seems, "Y U not heel me!!") Blue shield does not mean Empath. Empath does not mean "I must heal you no matter what, even though I have no clue who you are and you've been vulgar on broadcast for the last ten minutes."

[/ QUOTE ]

Hahahahah

Related to this, please please please do not scream HEALME!!!11 at your defender/controller. If they are any good at all they know you need healing and will get to you as soon as possible (of course you could HELP by moving TOWARDS said defender/controller or towards a mob if they are KIN instead of running down the hall) and if they aren't any good, it won't matter what you do.

Keep in mind that the straight line approach in the hollows is generally a bad Idea.

For instance, if your mission is on the far eastern wall of the hollows opposite the atlas entrance, it is generally better to run north along the roads , then east , then south after you have cleared the gulch than it would be to run straight thru Grendel's gulch.

What about the Arduin Grimoire (sp?) books with their lovely critical hits and fumble charts

99-00 you cleave your opponent in half.

My grandparents used to drive around in this! Actually you would pull quite a few heads if you drove one today.

[/ QUOTE ]

I can beat that! My grandfather was the original owner of one of these. His was a black hard-top. He would pull it out on some Sundays in the spring and summer, and we would ride to church in it. We heard that when he passed away, he was the last original owner of that kind of car anywhere. My Uncle still has the car, but it will end up in a museum.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well... in some ways you don't win, you lose... because that is a NICE car and the Volkswagen Thing is a piece of crap that they couldn't even come up with a name for.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, I don't think the name would have gone over too well in America, it is simply the WWII German army staff car. Can't remember exactly what it was called but it starts with Panzer.*edit the panzer designation is because of the military usage, the actual name is Kubelwagen see link http://www.patchesofpride.com/poppages/pop107.html

Now that is a truly beautiful car.

Okay you got me there. Never saw one of those, but I don't doubt its fearsome head-pulling capabilities.

Ok I remember Gloop and Gleep from the Herculoids, and I remember the Dragon thingy was Zok, but what was the name of the Rhino with the fireball shooting horn?

What about the Suger Hill Gang, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and Houdini. Rap was around before MTV was even thought of.

I got another one......if you witnessed what the first video ever played on MTV is and can still remember the lyrics.

On Sept. 20, 1985, Enterprise was ferried from Dryden Flight Research Facility to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. On Nov. 18, 1985, Enterprise was ferried from the Kennedy Space Center to Dulles Airport, Washington, D.C., and became the property of the Smithsonian Institution. The Enterprise was built as a test vehicle and is not equipped for space flight.
