Mystic, we are trying to compile a list of the coalitioned SG's leadership's real-life email addresses. This is to create a mailing list so we can better organize coalition events.

Unfortunately all the SG's in the coalition are using different hosts for their sites so we can't do it that way :\

Although actually we COULD setup a guildportal site or something for the coalition leaders only... hm. Gonna run it by you leaders.

I didn't get screenies for the last two CC's because I assumed someone else would. This time I corrected that. Here's...

"Best Homage" Winners:

Reminder... tonight 8pm... BEST HOMAGE!

Beeeee there!

Tomorrow Sunday 1/9 at 8pm EST is "Best Homage" to a comic character. PLEASE no direct ripoffs.

Top prize is 150m influence. There are runners-up!

I now also apparently need contact information for the Justice Girls and Talons of Freedom (I think that's the name).

(Welcome to the coalition)

Great, thanks guys.

Try out: 458872
"Tales of the Justice Corps.: The Omega Strain"

It serves as something of an introduction to the personalities and history of the Justice Corps., from the point of view as you-a-new-recruit.

"The 5th Column have freed a foe of the original Justice Corps. from his prison, and now he has begun a campaign of terror against the new Corps. and all heroes! Prepare to face the Steel Skull as he unleashes a genocidal plan he has held on to since World War II!"

If you are in the leadership of any of the above supergroups please respond here or reach out to me in-game at @Strongwall.

We at the Justice Corps. are hoping to build a deeper community with our coalition and I need to get in touch with the leaders of those SG's if at all possible.

Thanks.

Reminder... first one (holiday theme) is tonight Sun 12/26 8pm EST in Atlas Park!

Bump! First one is in two days..!

The Justice Corps. will be hosting themed costume contests every Sunday night at 8:00PM EST in Atlas Park.

Top prizes will exceed 100 million inf!
Special prizes will be awarded as well for some events (30-day jetpack codes, Booster codes, etc.)

Here's the schedule of costume contests to date:
12/26/10 - Holiday Theme CC
01/02/11 - In celebration of the New Year. Best "Futuristic" costume (profiles help)
01/09/11 - Best comic character homage (indicate in your profile what your character is an homage to. No direct ripoffs)
01/16/11 - Best couple. In celebration of the 2-month anniversary of me and Gaia Stormsoul's engagement.

See you there!

(Members of the Justice Corps. and Justice Corps. Alpha supergroups cannot enter)

Oh, also we needed to add "-renderthread 0" to the shortcut target to get it to work at all. Without that, it just stays at the "Loading" bar after you hit "I accept."

My fiance's new laptop arrived yesterday. She was able to install CoH and play it.
Then we went to bed for the night, and this morning she turned it back on and got the following errors:

"Your card or driver doesn't support ARB_multitexture"

"Your card or driver doesn't support ARB_texture_compression"

OK so here are some logs:

The end!

Pages 5 and 6

Pages 3 and 4:

An itty little preview of something I'm doing with the screenshots we've got...

Thanks for all the well-wishes.

Also the unsolicited engagement presents from random people (a total 210m inf has been given to myself and Gaia)... also quite a few people joined our supergroup, the Justice Corps, as a result of I guess the free publicity.

Someone snagged the text for me:

[Admin] NCsoft_Rularuu: Fear Me Mortals!
[Admin] NCsoft_Rularuu: My power is legendary and I am here to make you feel pain!
[Admin] NCsoft_Rularuu: I cannot be stopped, this is my time to destroy you all!
[Admin] NCsoft_Rularuu: I cannot stand this human world, with it's feeble pretensions of love...
[Admin] NCsoft_Rularuu: Emotions are like acid to me... They burn my very soul!
[Admin] War Witch: Oh man....
[Admin] War Witch: Heartless soulless pig!
[Admin] War Witch: Look....I got a plan....
[Admin] War Witch: But...I need some help....
[Admin] War Witch: Guys....this heartless wretch needs some love... We got some love in this place???
[Admin] War Witch: I have just the guy....
[Admin] War Witch: Strongwall....
[Admin] War Witch: We need YOU!
[Admin] War Witch: STRONGWALL proposed to Gaia Stormwind and she said, "YES!"
[Admin] War Witch: Congratulations, you two!!!!!
[Admin] NCsoft_Rularuu: What is this... the emotion pouring forth from these is too strong
[Admin] NCsoft_Rularuu: I cannot stand this love that surrounds me!
[Admin] War Witch: We got love, people! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
[Admin] NCsoft_Rularuu: Stop it! You can't!
[FDPC] Fire Alarm sounded in Steel Canyon.
[Admin] NCsoft_Rularuu: My defenses weaken
[Admin] War Witch: Let's get Rularuu!
Radical-Element has defeated NCsoft_Rularuu
[Admin] NCsoft_Rularuu: What have you done!!!!!!!
[Admin] War Witch: That'll learn him! Heartless beast.
[Admin] NCsoft_Rularuu: My essence fades from this plane... I depart... but I will return!
[Admin] War Witch: I love me a good proposal. That rocked it old school. You are awesome Strongwall and Gaia Stormwind. May you both have have many years of happiness!
Admin] War Witch: I love you guys! Congratulations again! War Witch out!
[Admin] Mod08: Congrats you two!

So... there we were...the Justice Corps. supergroup, hanging out at Harmonee (who is awesome)'s promotion ceremony:




...When War Witch appeared! (I HOPE someone from my supergroup got a screeny, I tried but failed)

She alerted us that there was trouble in Atlas Park, and she had a feeling someone in the Justice Corps. would be powerful enough to bring an end to it! So we hopped in our teleporters and scooted down to Atla Park, where we found...



Rularuu... the Ravager!!

He did his whole shpiel about how he hates Earth and all the emotions that pour from it, so he was gonna blow us up!


War Witch, being wise and powerful, summoned me to her side and instructed me to do what was in my heart, because it was the only way to defeat Rularuu!



So, IRL I popped the question to Maria (Gaia Stormsoul), she said yes, we kissed and hugged and she cried and it was very romantic. Then I scooted back to game and reported in Request and Broadcast that she said... yes!

At which point, Rularuu was overwhelmed by the positive, lovey emotions and blew up:



The Justice Corps. celebrated with us!



Then we escaped to Ouroboros for some quiet dancing with a Spielberg looking fella from NCSoft:



And then we took a final picture for posterity:

(Stormsoul)

Thanks to everyone who made this happen! A lot of people at Paragon/NCSoft were involved and I can't name 'em. Almost the entire Justice Corps. supergroup kept this secret for me from Gaia for WEEKS and were able to attend and I appreciate it.

Thanks for everyone in Atlas who were randomly made part of this and didn't spam with "This is lame" etc.

A metric buttload of screenshots are on their way.
