I was with you on this and agree. However...

Since when did Occam's Razor say that someone was either straight or gay without any wiggle room in between?



We need a crack pairings thread.

I like how you edited it. May I use your edit?

Also, Utopia? I'm contacting you regarding the 20 million Inf. Warden gets a bonus 5 million for the tweaks that I approve of.

Okay, to put on my for serious face for a second...

*ahem*

That's what you are doing. We're joking around with what isn't said. You are saying that:

Okay, so your claim is that they aren't gay and that this is canon. You back this up by saying, and again this is a quote:

So, your argument is that he's straight is that there's no proof that he's gay. You're doing exactly what you just said I'm doing.

Now, I can only assume that your mentality is that unless someone's sexuality is stated, their "default setting" is 100% pure Nicaraguan heterosexual. This is the mentality that I've been satirically lampooning with my rapier wit.

It reminds me of how everyone was shocked that Dumbledore was gay, because everyone assumed he was straight. The only evidence that he was straight was that there wasn't a specific sub-plot about Dumbledore being gay.

In other words: You don't know; I don't know, and until it's relevant to the storyline, I doubt either of us will know. Your ability to claim he's straight is as valid as my ability to claim he is not.

Therein lay the humor and satire.


Now if you'll excuse me, warden_de_dios may have just earned 20 million Inf pending my ability to fit the image in a sig.

I don't know if any of the characters' sexual orientations have ever been explicitly stated as canon. We know Manticore at least is into women, but we have no idea if he's bi, pansexual, straight or what-not.

Now, therein lay madness to say that Statesline is canon. There's no evidence to suggest there is. There's also no evidence to suggest otherwise, and it is in that dim gray that we do diddle.

Besides, Going Rogue was all about walking the line or crossing it. It would be against the spirit of this great expansion to not imagine Faultline held tenderly in Statesman's arms.

He wouldn't be so hard to deal with if he wasn't so arrogant about it.

*biggest facepalm of all. My gosh, this facepalm is huge. Have you seen the size of this facepalm!? It's like... dude... this facepalm is so large that a "Your mom" comparison would only fall short, as not even the mom from Gilbert Grape would be seen as skinny compared to this Facepalm. This facepalm would so deeply blot out the sun that even Leonidas wouldn't want to battle in that shade. It's a Facepalm that, in size and epicness would surely dwarf the opening of Space Odyssey 2001, which hasn't come true yet. I mean, it's 2011, a full decade after that movie and we still haven't acted out the events of that movie. For that matter, has Mega Man happened? It took place in the year 200X, and we're two years after the latest that could possibly be. Unless, of course, the X stood for a literal 10. Then, we'd only be one year past. That is, of course, assuming that we aren't accounting for the year Zero. Some don't, and some do. Maybe, by not accounting for the year Zero, Mega Man could arguably take place in the year 2011. Appropriate, given the role Zero will eventually play in Mega Man's series. The Zero's been there from the beginning.

Where was I?

Oh yeah, the facepalm. This thing is huge, son. It's like the size of Iceland. It would easily be seen as more epic than any attack ManOfManChars did in Ao Royale. Wait, you couldn't probably get that reference, could you? You need to join Unleashed and read up on it. You'd get it that way.

But it's huge. It's a huge facepalm. Like Jabba the Hutt letting himself go after a bad breakup facepalm. It's that huge.*

Has that officially been confirmed? Also, they might be bi.

-_-





Edit: Fixed typos for fluidity and optimized literary digestion.

I hate you slightly less than how much I love you.

Oh, I'm all for that meeting. xxHatMcGinnisxx was one of the most unjustly banned posters ever on these forums.

... Any red name that posts details on attaining said model would be my hero.

*searches* Why, so you did! All credit to you, Utopia. You're onto something awesome with Statesline.

I'll pay 20,000,000 Inf for a banner shipping Statesman and Faultline to use as my sig. Something romantic and sweet like this.

Castle and theOcho both found left of their own volition. theOcho just explicitly stated he found a better job; Castle neither confirmed nor denied, but he got a "goodbye" post, which is traditionally only given to Devs leaving of their own accord (All Community Reps make goodbye posts).

The only unknown is BABs, and it should continue to remain unknown.

Perfect! My partner wants her account reactivated if this is case. She's getting into Steam and has heard tell of our marvelous winter events.

To clarify, you have stated the following is true:

If someone already owns the City of Heroes: Going Rogue Complete Collection hard copy (complete with shiny case), the code one gets from Steam for the same product would not be seen as redundant in the PlayNC system. As such, she can buy the same game again, and the end result would be a month of City of Heroes for $10.

Is this correct? I'm just double checking, as a miscommunication can put me out $10 and her rather discouraged about the game.

Thanks!

Oh, I know. I'm not denying that at all, and "OOC", I can totally see why people want to overthrow him.

That being said, Chili Incarnate over there truly is protecting the world from Hamidon. If they overthrow him, and if the process of overthrowing him destroys the Sonic Fences, do you feel that the Resistance would share some responsibility in any of the repercussions of that?

My indirect point being that the amount of destruction that the Resistance intends to cause in order to overthrow Emperor Cole would run the very serious risk of lapsing security systems. How do you destroy an army and their leader without even grazing the chance of temporarily disabling the Sonic Fence? I mean, it's possible, but it's risky.

I've never read a Fantastic Four comic, but I'll call this right now:

Even though Richard Reed brought this on, his enemies will kill Sue as a way of sending a message or otherwise holding him accountable. The comics will be about the guilt that he carries around, and everything will think that it's really dark and edgy that the wife was removed from the comic. Again.

Holy gosh, I love your avatar.

I think the community has only two opinions of AE: Those that swear that "It is too still relevant!" and those that refer to it as "The Incident". It can still be the greatest thing about City of Heroes, but it will need conscious, deliberate, and bandwidth stretching resources to do so. That is to say, the developers will need to be convinced that fixing it is a viable focus for a game with limited resources that's trying to prepare for the onslaught of other games in the SuperHero MMO Genre. They need to be convinced that making this better instead of doing whatever other plan they had is the answer to fighting off those other games.

Is it the answer? I have no idea, but I suspect it won't be in patch noes; it'll be a significant part of an Issue, widely advertised to the internal CoH community.
