Weeks after the assassination of a Ritki diplomat by a human shooter who claimed he was with the "Order of Adam", a pro-humanity group based in Paragon City, the Ritki responded with another world wide attack which led to the death of 110,000 people and displaced millions more. Again, the Rikti have cost the world billions of dollars in reconstruction and world aid, especially to those countries still recovering from the last wave of attacks.

In the month of May the Ritki and the U.N finally had reached a settlement shortly there after the release of information that vindicated the Freedom Phalanx of any past doing. In 2004 many wondered as to what prompted the first war years ago many asked why? Why did they come here? what did our world do to cause them to attack us? After the sacrifice of Hero-1 and Alpha team the aliens retreated and many hoped the Ritki were gone forever. Over the years despite protest by the Vanguard, suggesting the Ritki would return people were content with the enemy that was once a threat were now just a mere annoyance. That was until the second great war that brought them back, but the conflict was shorter than the first as evidence surfaced and broadcast world wide and implicated the ones responsible

All looked as if peace was possible, with a select amount of countries in attendance lead by the United States and Great Britian who was also backed up by United Space Alliance. All seemed as tho peace was going to happen, and an end of the war between the two dimensions was on the horizon, that was until a rogue operative who claimed he was with the "Order of Adam" used an energy weapon which shot the diplomat as the speech of peace and cooperation concluded. The diplomat was immediately was teleported out by the Ritki and the assailant as left to attempt to escape but was shot with a stun weapon from the Alliance. Despite several attempts by the coalition over the last few weeks there has been no response from the Ritki even to this day.

The authorities identified shooter as Colin McGravern age 38, and citizen of Paragon City's Kings Row district. He had joined the "OA" shortly after the second war on Earth after the death of his family. In an affidavit released by the FBI profiler showed how he had psychological and pathological need for revenge against the Ritki which lead up the shootings. In an interrogation report he stated "Peace with the those alien (censored) is as bad as surrendering to them... and thats what we're doing... surrendering to those freakish (censored)..."

Week later reports confirmed authorities were about to raid the "OA main office, the leader and founder was quick to disavow any knowledge of the attack stating "The Order of Adam is a family-oriented organization trying to help humanity rebuild their lives as a result of this terrible war." he stated " We at the Order don't have or harbor any violent individuals who take it upon themselves to act out aggression against anyone, we only help those who are devastated and misplaced and we build them back up and become confident once more that their lives aren't over. We realize world wide that humans and alien heroes work together all the time and defend us against the forces of evil, thus we have no ill will against any alien visitor to our planet. And thus the OA neither advocates or condones any such barbaric behavior against our alien allies."

In a CNN interview with a White House official who is stated that the President will continue to investigate the events that lead to this act, and if there is evidence leading to their door there will be no "friends' to protect them. Two weeks ago Statesman coming out of a long silence two weeks ago had this to say: "Intentions. Intentions are what defines a person and or group. By having this killer in their group and within their ranks truly defines the Order's intentions, they cannot wash their hands of what this man has done in their name or the lives lost because of this maniac. Thus my group and the heroes of Paragon will not rest until we have all who are responsible in custody".

Authorities last week confirmed the rumor that McGravern was found dead in his cell, hung from a steel pipe. Reports confirmed he looked as though he had been chipping away at the ceiling to get at them and hung himself with his bed sheets. SCORPIO's Executive Director, Jack Slayton, and several others who came from the Federal Penitentiary had no comment over this event and why SCORPIO had not taken over the investigation.

A spokesman for SCORPIO stated in a letter to Paragon Times: "SCORPIO is doing everything in it's power to investigate the apparent suicide. If and when anything is uncovered SCORPIO will release it to the local authorities.

So am I. Made sure I wrangled a vacation around it

QFT nice art man.

Server is down.

I have a few questions: How does all of the issues from 10 on tie together? Are we ever gonna see a Ralaruu story line or Shiva that was hinted throughout the mythos pages? Is there a darkside to Longbow? We have seen it in other "hero" groups I am guessing they got to have a few skeletons in their closet. Will we ever see a story about the return of the gods? I am betting they won't be too happy knowing Statesman has been doing with Zeus's power. I have others but thats the ones that have been urking me

I keep thinking there has to be conditions for game content created.
1) Will there be hero vs hero? Example Longbow vs (player)?

2) Will we have full creative freedom? Or will there be an editing phase before its put in game?

3) Can player stories effect the game? Like Lady Grey when completed starts Ritki Bombings, will ours start a Malta strike against all meta humans and mutants?

4) Will players be able to kill or can NPCs die in a mission?

I am just curious on how far it will and can go?

Statesman: "Greetings, heroes. Are you willing to face the wrath of Lord Recluse and his minions to perform a vital duty? Be warned though, while this mission is necessary, it's extremely dangerous."

Team Lead: "If it's gotta be done, we'll do it, States."

Statesman: "Good." *Hands Team Lead a DVD* "Your orders are to take this disc to Grandville. There, you're to hack into the PA system and display its contents for all to see."

Team Lead: "Wow... this really will be tough. What's on it? Details of Recluse's crimes? A UN ultimatum?"

Statesman: "Hell no. We're gonna Rickroll that dick. He stills owes me $20."

I heard that, also double /signed. Come on you apes did you want to live forever.

Reposting this one so if anyone may want a new avatar or something

I have a few questions: Will this mean a CoH 2? Will there be graphical upgrades if there isn't a expansion to bring it up to Linage and Guild Wars? Will more people play a console version of this game and is this another nail in the PC gaming coffin? There has been in my little circle tstating hat console was better than PC due to with all the new games you need to upgrade to keep up and console it is already integrated and cost effective to go console.
I didn't see much on the future expansion of issue 12 or 13 tho but for me 9 and 11 felt incomplete to me and 10 was awesome and overall IMO, but I am getting off track, like I said I didn't see any hints in this article as content goes.
I just want to know what will change for the game overall and what will happen to PC gamers if they make the switch?

Oh, I agree. However, while most of these e-mail addresses are unable to be reproduced by a sane person, they can by forwarded. Apologies in advance, but I've attempted to forward one or two to you, LH. Would it be possible to release a, say, GM_RMT_KILLER e-mail address that we could forward these to? As it stands now, I have to delete a dozen or so every time I log on--and they get away.

At least if I could notify someone about it, that account could be flagged for banination.

Im with Dumple on this one, a "Attn Spam" address we can forward email to would be ideal.

Side note, isn't it some how possible to take legal action on these sites as a violation of some law, somewhere?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but good luck with the cost and how successful you will be. If Blizzard the 100 pound gorrilla can't stamp them out, you think a smaller mmo company can?

[/ QUOTE ]

Part of the problem is that it's not up to the NCSoft or Blizzard to determine what is legal or not legal in other countries. Regardless of what the law of the land is in the US or Canada or Great Britain or France, the law that generally is the one applied is the law of the country where the spam is originating from. Since it's RMT spam and not terrorism or pedophiles, it's unlikely that intelligence organizations in various countries are going to take the time to investigate. The best an MMO can do is to ban the accounts of those who break the rules. And, with the anonymity of trial accounts, it may not help all that much.

I'd be happy to have a place to forward all the in-game e-mail spam, and the suggestion for banning the account generating the trial codes also seems like a good one. I'm hoping there is something they can do in those areas.

This makes me think of something I was hearing on Discovery Channel "The rise of Video Games". Tho companies(MMOs) do say they are trying to get rid of spammers when actually they allow a few . Dunno if that is true for this game but it would look like they do.

Thats funny, 2 Miss Stings....Priceless

I always liked music videos like this. Wish they added more emoted to add more movements like air guitar, now that would be cool. But still great vid.

So how does CoH rate against others? Is it number 2 against WoW for over all MMOs? But on a happy note grats on being number one in sci-fi games

I didn't even know he left

For a while there I was thinking he was giving us a resignation letter, or I am I was too tired to interpret it the right way.

I am a katana kinda person than I am scimitars, looks nice as poses go, just wish they were Katanas

Does this mean that hostilites are over and so is the war?

Please take no offense after seeing your gallery, can this woman ever keep her clothes on? Unstable molecules solves everything

Can't play it at all.

My friends and I were looking at an old GTA San Andreas Commercial and an question popped up: has anyone thought of making CoV like San Andreas official commercial and would it work? With mayhems explosions are abound i think one could pull it off. Just a thought since my computer skills are dated maybe someone else thought the same.
