The Secret World is 50% off this weekend.

I cannot recommend this game hard enough.

Going to see if I can influence the forum managers over there to make forums more friendly to the likes of us.

When I first joined City of Heroes, I had the honor of being a part of their first ever costume code giveaway at Comic Con. Ex Libris gave me a code and then several others. The majority were given away as part of other events (I believe mostly my run with The City Scoop). I have one more, though. One I've been saving for a special occasion...

Who wants to be the last person ever to redeem a City of Heroes costume code? Better yet, being the last to redeem a code and it's one of the first codes ever made?

Sound fun? Details to follow.

Hey, City Scoop fans. Just wanted to let you know that I still have all of your PMs and will be answering them in time.

Coming.
Storm.

That post did it. I started crying FINALLY. Loved all the tiny nods to people like Golden Girl and Samuraiko. You're fantastic.

I really am a guy!

(The brick of a 5 year old brick joke lands...)

I feel like Sister Flame was the focal point of the best of this community, and it is hard to read this without being emotional.

We wish you the best with a sincerity of great magnitude.

Thank you, Sister Flame, for seeing this game through your youth and enthusiasm that reminded us how much fun this can be.
Thank you, Ultimus, for your loyalty and passion.

Lord_Of_Time, regrettably you will not read this, but thank you for that Christmas Day when you stayed on the forums and made sure everyone who had nothing better to do on that holiday felt special and loved.

Thank you, Golden_Girl, for being you. Sometimes I wanted to strangle you. Sometimes I wanted to marry you. You were, at the end of the day, one of my favorite people.
Thank you, Dark_Respite, for your creative visions you always shared with us.
Thank you, Lemur Lad, for bringing out the best in me and the rest of the City Scoop.
Thank you, Ex Libris, for helping me get a job in the video game industry and thusly changing my life.
Thank you, Manoa, for being such a sincere friend that I could always turn to you.
Thank you, The Legendary J-Man, for being my ally in celebrating City of Heroes' absurdities and strengths. I will always, always be glad we found each other at those shows.
Thank you, Pantsstealer, for making me laugh being someone to whom I could speak.
Thank you, PWNZ all and collectively, for helping me lighten up and enjoy life and the game more.
Thank you, Golden_Ace, for always believing in the Moon Zone.
Thank you, Korith, for putting a Bounty out for Kill. Did anyone ever collect?

more to come... many more. Hard for me to think of all the names. I could easily put dozens more without even feeling like I'm straining.

Please add your own.

Thank you.

Huh, I CAN post!

Um, ignore this...

So I see people complaining that Statesman's canonical death was unsatisfying. I won't comment on that. Haven't play the arc yet and don't want this thread to go there anyway. It did, however, remind me of the old fall-back: Let's see you do better.

Challenge Accepted! Here's my proposal: Write up better ways Statesman could die. Show off your fantastic storytelling skills. And I'll step up first.

AWESOME Ways Statesman could have died

• Stubbed his toe, which is discovered to be his Achilles... toe.
• Lord Recluse exposes him to Schmiptonite, his only weakness.
• He realizes he's been fighting to save a world where Jersey Shore outlasts Community and takes the honorable way out.
• Impervious and Immune to all forms of doctorly concoctions... he dies of the common cold.
• Fugu me!
• Nemesis flips the "Off" switch.
• Goes back in time to prevent himself from ever using time travel and is eaten by a paradox.
• "This milk's expiration date is how old? But what is that in Immortal years?"
• After saving the world a billionth time, he accepts an invitation to a party with Keith Richards. He is later found outside a hospital emergency room with a note stapled to his back that reads "N0T STATEMAN"
• Turns out the answer really was "Batman, if he has time to plan".
• "Hold my beer."

Add your own, but Don't reference how Statesman really dies!

Good heavens.
