  1. Winning Review:

    I bought this jacket for a co-worker in hopes that giving him a gift would inspire him to reveal his true feelings for me. He did look very nice in it, but maybe that's what caused the problem. He looked TOO nice. And kind of boring. Shortly after I gave it to him, I realized that he felt more like a little brother to me and that I actually have a thing for another guy at work who's kind of a scruffy smart aleck (a bit of a loser, really) and SO not my usual type at all who hangs around with some totally disreputable characters (some of them look like real hairballs ) and may not be strictly honest. But he has this sexy bad boy thing goin' on, IYKWIM and I'm finding it hard to resist. Heh, I haven't resisted AT ALL!
    It's a really nice jacket, even though it kills all your romantic feelings for the nice, responsible and even kind of attractive guy you give it to, so be careful with it.

    Dr Who 23/04/11

    Great start to the season I thought. Even if there were no aliens, the events kicking off the series is intriguing.

  4. Don't forget boys and girls, new Who starts tonight!
  5. Awesome set of letters, I liked The Presdigigi-um, Presto, no Prestigula....that one guy with just a wand the best.

    Looking forward to some in game stuff too.
  6. It was a fun time. Like I said on the team, I'd have stayed longer but i got offered an invite for some turkey goodness and I'm not one to pass on free food.

    Cyanide Dreams

    It happened a couple days ago but I'm posting it now.

    My Widow with training in the Blood arts and a mutant sharkman as a Patron hit 50.

    I honestly had a lot of fun getting her up to 50.
  8. sounds like it could be fun.
    I'll try and bring my low level Stoner
  9. Ooooo, looks like it might be nice. I still have to get the last booster though. I'll probably get this one too. I like supporting the company with extra money.
  10. Well, I didn't take time to read the whole thing just skimmed to get a basic idea once I saw that you really weren't complaining about zombies. Having said that, best of luck to ya in WoW.

    Thanks Vets

    I gave the Navy ten years.

    You're welcome
  12. I'm sorry I missed this before . Happy Birthday Hex! I hope you had a good one.

    edit: I like your new look too.
  13. Gee, is it that time already? time for some whiner to post that it's time for a server merge with no facts to back up the idiocy spewing from his brain?
  14. These are just my guesses

    1) I'd assume they use US Currency. Oh sure, they could have their own currency but with a corrupt system such as the Rogue Isles a constant exchange rate would be difficult to keep. Not to mention if you try to go to Paragon with different currency you'll be immediately flagged as a villain, even if you are a civilian who got a visa to visit his family stateside.

    2) Lord Recluse would never stoop so low as to attend a UN meeting. yes, they are part of the UN Council. It's one more way he can gain Power with a capitl "P". What better way to do what you want then to be able to convince certain countries to side with you in your decisions. Lord Recluse would not be where he is today if he did it all alone.

    3) Yes, it could be an international incident but I believe Recluse allows their presence on Mercy as a test to the newly freed prisoners from the Zig. Nerva, while protected by the US, is too spread out for the small contigent of Longbow to cover constantly so Recluse encourages crime there.

    4)The Rogue Isle Police are the face of the law on the Rogue Isles. While the Wolf Spiders have the final say in everything, the RIP are so that when Paragon and the UN Council start looking at the Isles, they see a recognizable police uniform.

    5) Don't know, it's been answered and that's one question I can't just put my imagination on.

    6) Number of reasons, it could be finacially impossible to evacuate all those citizens while aliens are running about or with a warhead being launched constantly. It could be that the citizens refused to leave despite the danger or the respective governments just left them there when the fighting escalated.

    As much as I hate to agree with a member of resistance, I agree. Thank you for ruining a good time Golden Girl by being a ****. I will be pledging my Loyalty on the sidelines. Have fun going back and forth with a 6 year old.

    Morals? You're trying to tell us to make our fictional characters behave morally? Have you lost your goddamned mind? If every person in the game acted morally, there would be no reason for the Devs to even come up with a Loyalist and Resistance to Emperor Cole (or Tyrant as some call him). You know what? We get it. You and your superiority complex believes that Cole and his followers stand for everything wrong with the planet so you've joined the Resistance. Why don't you go bother them about your pathetic morals? Do you really believe for one minute that what the Resistance does to overthrow Emperor Cole will be any more or less moral than us Loyalists will do.
    In this fight, the people who give in to such trivial things as morals will be the first to lose. Loyalists refuse to lose. Resistance refuses to lose. Anarchists, well they want their own thing, but I'm sure they refuse to lose as well. Who has the morals now?

    You're words in this thread are the equivalent of a child going "no it's not!"

    Also, if Tyrant is in complete control, then you an only act with his approval - so he must support this too
    So long as my work promotes his idea of Utopia and Unity the great Emperor will approve of my work.

    Doc Vahz? Bah! He was just a child playing with his first chemistry set compared to my genius. His vain attempts to overcome death gave rise to those shambling meat husks we see and show that he is a man stuck in the past. You cannot overcome death, just prolong it. I will be sure to prolong the death of any member of the Resistance who crosses my operating table.
