If there's one rule that's true, it's that NOTHING moves faster than light.

Been trying out Afterburner. It doesn't seem so fast when you're flying high in the air, but when you skim the ground it's definitely noticeable. Afterburner is fast. I like the wave of air it has in front of it, although it looks a little silly when hovering, backwards.

Yeah, for movie I want to live out, I'd say Rom Com is the good answer. You don't get shot at, usually, it's going to be a fun ride, and in the end, you end up with the girl after several comical misunderstandings.

Sure, being a superhero would be awesome, too, but they're usually bad on the local property and/or one's family and friends. So, a cute and funny romantic comedy would be nice.

I'm cool with that. As long as it's not the only long term villainous goal, of course. I'd love a "sit upon my unfeasibly huge pile of money" and a fame track as well.

This is actually something City of Villains lacks. Villains are supposed to be proactive, but we're still following what everyone else tells us to do. Sure, some of the newer arcs have the option of taking initiative ourselves, but it's still confined. Really, villainous plots should have been what the 40-50 and epic pools should have been redside.

If taking over the world was an option? Yeah, I'd have a villain for that. I love the mastermind-type. The Bond villain, the Doctor Dooms if we crank up the power level. I'd make someone who's a lot more of a schemer. Mad science is always fun, so something like that. But to take over the world, you need one of two things: A plan, or enough power that no one can oppose you when you lay claim to the world.

So I'd have a technology/science type who's constantly building new gadgets while planning long term on how to rule, if not the world, then a comfortable part of it somewhere. Like Italy, perhaps. Good food, nice weather, and the ability to call yourself Emperor of Rome. That'd work out nicely. Plus it'd give a great theme for the Robotic Legions of Rome. (As an aside, I wish I could dress up Mastermind pets now, because that's a fun concept.)

Well, my assassin, she wouldn't stop any time soon. She might claim that it's "just a job", but the only way to stay the best assassin is to keep being an assassin. The only mark that's off limits is Lord Recluse, since she saw that starting something with him will lead to an old-school apocalypse with lots of fire and no living people. That, to her is a failure scenario. A win-state to her is a flawed society with plenty of work for an assassin. So, basically, she's already won with being a highly respected assassin in the Rogue Islands. High enough that Lord Recluse trusts her with assaulting the Freedom Phalanx. Now if Recluse was deposed and law and order was restored on the Isles, she'd plotting a revolution to restore the Rogue Isles to an assassin's paradise, but for now, it already is. That or join Vanguard full time, since she has a few contacts there for when ET needs killing. No primal humans to kill? Plenty of Praetorians and Rikti, though. As long as there's a new job lined up, she'll keep going. She might be better off as a Rogue, in the game, come to think of it.

The hedonist wouldn't stop if she had the key to an all boy-band version of the Playboy Mansion. Sure, she'd go there, for a while, but it'd get boring. She has a bit of ADHD with things like that. It's not so much about what she has, but about what she wants. Having is no fun. Taking is. If she ever tries to take over the world, which I doubt, it'll be to be able to say she did, not to keep it. She'd probably set it on fire, just on principle, though.

She does, however, want to burn Crey to the ground, and throw the Countess into a vat of acid. Personal reasons.

Alternatively, it could make the name reserved to you for, let's say an hour, after a deletion, or until you purposely relinquish the name. You'd need less new tech that way, I think.

I'm a concept player. I don't really RP, but all my characters need to have some kind of concept and personality, or I just lose interest. This does mean that if someone wants to RP, I know my characters well enough that I can play along. I play my characters from 1 to 50, using moments of the various story arcs to shape their concepts.

I plan on using Exalted, as yes, a Vacation Home. I'm usually on Freedom, but I could see myself using Exalted to run some weird or familiar concepts again. Maybe move some semi-retired 50s over as well.

Thank you for this thread. It worked for me!

I had two names I really wanted. "Aegis Rose" and "White Lie".

I have an Aegis Rose practically everywhere, now I got one on Exalted, too. White Lie was an old favorite name of mine on a Stalker that transferred servers and couldn't keep her name. Decided to reroll rather than transfer as I really liked that character. 50 more levels of Nin/Nin Stalker goodness. Well, evilness, but you get the point.

So I'm two for two.

Costume slot number 6. I'm a clothes horse, I'll get 7-10 later, but I want the sixth now.

Nice, very nice. It shows pretty much exactly what I21 is about, and it looks good. Hm, this video might be good to show to people who used to play the game and see if they want to stop by and see what's going on now.

Done and ready to log in. Now the waiting begins.

I had the same problem... but I can't remember exactly how I fixed it. I think I did this:
Run the Command Prompt as an Administrator.
Type ipconfig /flushdns
Restart Windows

If that doesn't work, try this:
Run the Command Prompt as an Administrator.
Type winsock netsh reset
Restart Windows

That last one is a catch-all for most stubborn network issues, but I think it was the first one that fixed it for me.

Aw, that's a shame. Was a good bone to throw to the people having multi month subscriptions. Hope you get it working again soon.
