    Mastefully done, and I could almost hear Sir Humphrey as I read that...

    Thank you very much. I did do some writing for the show and those jokes were some that actually got picked up, I think for the 2005 season. Of course I have re-written them for COH.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well let's hope you get to write some more.

    I can't help feeling that Humph's boots are a bit too big to fill, sadly.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    He was such a nice guy. I'm not sure I would want to write any more to be honest, I was very sad to see him go. You probably won't get anyone with the same gravitas in such ridiculous situations as Humph. It would be nice if it wasn't gone for good though.

    I like the idea of the dragon and I actually like the idea of a medieval zone as long as it's put on the back burner until some of the more interesting stuff is done.
  4. I like the principal but don't think it would work in practice. Are you going to stop Kheldians entering those missions for example and if not then you aren't just disabling one power for them but rather a possible 4 useful offensive powers.

    And what about things like hover, invisibility and recall friend. I have a feeling that people who really want to will find too many ways around it to actually make this a good gaming feature.

    There's a lot to think about but if it were used for only a few missions then I think I would like it.

    Well, if you insist...

    New mod directive folks - off-topic is allowed!

    No, no, no... we're only allowed to talk about talking off-topic.

    Do we have to do it without Repetition, Hesitation and Deviation as well?

    Do we only have a minute?

    Wait, wrong quiz show.

    Are you intimating that Avatea's really Samantha?

    VO:
    We present I'm sorry, I haven't a blue. The antidote to Superhero MMO games. At the piano is DJ Zero and your chairman is Rockjaw.

    ROCKJAW:
    Hello, you join us this week in Independence Port, a fine city zone boasting a long and fascinating history. IP owes much to it's maritime heritage. By the 14th century the city was already trading with Spain, Portugal and Iceland with ships returning with fine wine, intricate lace work and frozen peas.

    In the 18th Century Independence Port was the hub for industrial transportation. Barges, toed by horses would take supplies up and down the coastline and in to the city. They were later changed to steam power when it was discovered that so many of the horses drowned.

    Earnst McGlider, the famous scientist, invented the fizzy drink here by forcing large quantities of Carbon Dioxide gass in to water. He gave it to many friends who trumpeted his achievements around the city.

    Independence Port was also the home to drug addled rocker Rick Dangerous. Rick was the front man for the heavy metal group Daft Leper before starting out on a successful solo career. So Rick, if you're listening, that's who you are.

    IP is also known for it's compliment of wild Cuckoos, track by the Cuckoo Society who have there base in the north part of the city. It's actually a branch of Icon but whenever they go out to lunch they come back to find that the Cuckoo Society has moved in.

    And speaking of unwanted visitors trying to get something for nothing... lets meat the teams.

    To my left is Ghost Widow and Lord Recluse and to my right is Sister Psyche and Statesman.

    And carefully positioning her comfortable seat on my left hand and preparing herself for some hot scoring action, please welcome the ever fragrant, delightful Avatea.
  6. We've focused on the flying part of the name, next time we could concentrate on the Circus part, like the Cirque de la Lune did. Any character you want but with a circus background/costume

    OK, just a thought. I do agree that the base is really good and it would be nice to keep that going as well.

  8. The reason why I asked was because we are zooming through the levels (even though we only play one night a week) and this is the only group that I get to play with. I'd like to think that there would be something when we've got to that point because I really like teaming with you guys.

    I'm up for the TFs obviously. If you want to PVP then sure, by all means, we could go back over the story arcs we missed or roll new characters, I'm easy; but I would hate to see us just disband.

    As for the base, at some point come in to the Marvello Courps base and see where we're going. That let us get around really easily. As for badges, I will quite happily get them when we have reached high enough levels.
  9. Well I should add our little place on the web: www.marvellousweb.co.uk
  10. It was a pleasure Mister, thanks for teaming with us

    Actually its moving east at around 2cm per year

    Your data is incomplete Carbon Unit Scarlet,
    Additionally your continent is moving at 65,000 mph or 29.17 km/s around Sol, which in turn is as part of The Milky Way and its neighbors (the so-called Local Group), are moving at 600 kilometers per second (1.34 million miles per hour) in the direction of the constellation Hydra with regards to a static point in space time.

    - Whoops, wrong forums.

    So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure,
    How amazingly unlikely is your birth
    And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
    'Cause there's b**gger all down here on Earth..

  12. I shall send you a link when we have it online
  13. OK just heard Summon the Heroes, very nice.

    Do you play anything other than keyboards? Are you in a band? Do you sing?
  14. You're back? But I don't even know who you are. I know that sounds bad but we should have talked in the past because you're from Cheltenham. And what's this about a track????

    Damn it, I missed so much!!

    Everyone is okay for tomorrow night?

    I know Mereman and Mrs. Mereman is okay.

    Did i say we will meet in Croatoa? (Feeling too lazy this morning to turn a page)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I should be there but I will be rushing back from filming so if I don't make it, it will be because I have my hand up a puppet.

    I really hope I will make it though. I love Croatoa! Even the nasty slappy head nastyness.
  16. Why should they not sell all insps. After all, where would you go to get extra endurance, more staying power, steroids to hit harder?

    I'd rather it be from a hospital than from those drug dealers on street corners who like to call themselves 'contacts'.

    Some players i used to love playing with are

    (all of Agency SG) Was my home while i leveled my first 50

    (all of paragon allstars SG)used to team with members alot and was always great.

    Baff(for his funnyness)

    The proffeser(one of the best players i ever seen and leader of "the paragon allstars"

    Shannon(a real good friend and first person i ever teamed with in coh and still do now, takes a bit of understanding but once you do she is ok lol)

    Bumberclot(agency member but we did team almost every day and inspired me for my fire/ice tank)

    Spines(another great player with plenty of kindness to give out)

    lady squeek(just a random guy but lovable)

    Battle medic(always there to help at stupid hours in the morning.

    Max powers(another very nice guy to team with)

    Pink pussycat(very sweet person)



    Now i started i keep thinking of any many others and dont want to offend by not listing anyone lol so im going to stop now.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I feel very unloved

    Seriously though, that list reminded me of some great times I had with all of those mentioned. Especially Spines, what a trouper.

    Most of this was pre-Mr Marvellous when I was still playing Ankh (the little fire tank that couldn't) and Abarta. Those were some great days. You really felt like you knew everyone back then.

    whell there you go, you learn something new every day.
  19. It's a nice little teaser but that's not what's really important with the system. It needs to allow people to make the missions they want so this hasn't wet my apatite anymore than it was already moistened already.

    Having said that, I did like it

    Not needed anymore, if you don't log on once and awhile you lose leader priveleges. Perhaps they should use auto demote on other SG-levels as well.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It was never needed, that was always the case.

    Account Transfer

    [ QUOTE ]
    Yea as long as it was within the same master account i fail to see how it could be exploited really. or am i missing something?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, I have two master accounts with one game in each yet I should legitimately be able to transfer characters

    Maybe there could just be an option to link accounts with the older of the two acting as your vet level. To stop exploits, you would never be able to unlink accounts.

    I would like to see travel powers suppressed in some areas of the game.

    I think that would be an incredibly bad idea.

    Some people more than others, I feel

    I think there's a difference between using the f word almost like punctuation and saving it up for when you're really upset.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    yes, I think you're right. I don't tend to use the F word. I like my swearing to be mildly comic so I try and come up with things that are somewhat left-field.
  24. Tankers. I don't have the patience for them.
