Well, I gave WoW 2 hours most every night, and long sessions at the weekends, for the whole of my first free month before i decided that it blew. And I didn't have a partner there to duo with me, buff me, give me loads of inf and pay for my account either.

lol but we're still friends, anyway. In fact, she came round this evening and we watched the Sound of Drums and ate pizza. You know, as proper mates.

Ohh yes!

You have to admire a City with a great big damn castle right in the middle.

I second that, and if anyone would like an alternative, In-Character review, there's one here.

Eco.

Don't tell those rabid maniacs in the Euro lounge that, they'll start complaining that they're getting the shaft again.

Lol I must be some kind of ubernaive, I just assumed that nobody would vote for their own out of, er, I don't know, some kind of 'that just wouldn't be cricket, what?' type attitude.

I think The Audition is really excellent in loads of ways, but the reason i haven't voted for the Multi-arc category yet is cos i was torn so much for my second place between Turg Fiction and The Lost Choir.

However, I guess that if i can vote for myself, then their loss is, er, CoW's gain?

MULTI-ARC CATEGORY

First place: The Consequences of War Part 1 #227331 and Part 2 #241496 @Dalghryn

Second Place: The Audition Part 1 #221240 and Part 2 #221241 @MRCaptainMan

See, allowing me to vote for my own arc also lets me sort of use my vote to give an extra bit of oomph to the arc I think is the best in this category. Obviously, picking CoW for first place means I want it to win more than any other arc in the category. By picking my own arc for second place, I'm depriving Turg or MrSquid of a point that could give them the gold over CoW. Which doesn't seem fair, tbh, but I can also justify it by thinking that I wouldn't mind winning either, and giving myself a point can't do any harm there. I guess it depends on the reasoning behind voting. Am I rating based on my opinion of the arcs' quality, or on which arc I want to see awarded?


I'd like this particular rule amended somehow for the 2010 Player Awards. Otherwise, it'll just become a standard that nominees vote for themselves...well, if they want to win, I guess.

Or maybe an alternative rating system could be used! Maybe we could have a fixed number of final arcs, say 4, and every voter HAS to rank all four in order, best to last, 1 to 4. That would be interesting.

It's all very intriguing, I can't wait to see who gets the glory and bunting and parades etc.

I see it more like this: i'm a celtic fan from glasgow, and she says 'i love football too!...i support rangers.'

i have 2 pcs. I was all set to get a second account. She rolled a new toon, played the tutorial, did just one mission and then declared she preferred wow and that was that. Rubbish attempt at giving coh a fair go if you ask me.

She also put far too much salt into food when she cooked.

Eco

EDIT: too much salt for me, i mean. I'm sure theres a man out there who loves salty food and wow and if she finds him i hope theyll be very happy.

Lol yes, there were a good number of incompatibilities, actually, but the WoW thing is the most amusing. And it was more mutual than me just breaking up with her, although i was ithe first to bring the subject up.

But i should have known, really, after the WoW appeared. I mean, there i was, playing CoH, and she was right there in my living room playing WoW on her laptop literally behind my back!

Honestly, CoH has ruined me for other games.



Eco.

Waitaminute - they're doing a Praetorian RI in GR too?

Coool.

Eco.

We can vote for outr own arcs?

Eco.

Have you considered the possibility that the tagger wasn't talking about you but themself?

Ah...ego.

Eco.

Excellent! Cheers, GS! Now we just have to wait and see the flood of new votes from my fellows in the continent of a million accents!

Eco.

The reason i didnt post a link is becUse im posting on my iphone and its difficult.

However, if you examine my OP youll find a secret code that explains which forum the thread is on and what its called.

Eco

No, alas, but insane people and criminals are still exempt!

Eco

The thread has been in the MA Stories and Lore forum for some time, and I think Bubba posted a thread here too with a heads up, but I might be mistaken.

The voting's open till Nov 9th, i think.

Eco.

Fixed it for PvE, with my tongue firmly in my cheek

My general opinion as someone who doesn't enjoy PvP very much is that no matter what my personal preferences are, choice in gaming is a good thing, and so long as I get what i want from a game, if others get something different as well then that can only be good for me too, as more units will sell and the company who releases the game will have more reason to make more of the same and more profits to keep them afloat and in the business. Heck, they can stick a PvP mode in Day of the Tentacle II if it'll help it get made to the same standards that the first one was made to

The same mentality that is causing your particular problem here was responsible for the awful dumbing-down of Deus Ex 2; the attitude that good is good enough to shift enough units, and they don't need to go the extra mile. It's very sad. I feel that we in CoH are lucky to have a Dev team who largely doesn't think like this.
