Myrdinn

Synonym?
No.
But... how about, oh... inflection, informal, import, hegemony?

Nah. In fact, I'm of the opinion, most villains ARE smarter than the average hero.
Doesn't stop them from usually not teaming up... and, well. "Good" folks do team up in the microcosm conflicts. This usually results in "bad" getting contained.
"Good" being defined by and as the winners... the ones that cooperate long enough to form societies and the baseline by which such matters are determined.

Also... you do know I'm not the author, right? That's just a thought exercise I've thought funny, and fairly relevant, to the conversation. Where's your math?

Why ebil may not triumph.

Freedom was the original Prime. I've got a screenshot around here, somewhere. But, at first there was Prime, then it went to; oh, Virtue, Guardian, and another one. Then it went to the end of beta list that had six.
Found the screenie: Click here.

Virtue was the name-reservation (and thus, became the RP server thereafter by accord at the end of beta) server (until a mess-up right at the last moment).

/still annoyed at the mess-up. Only server wherein someone stole "myrdinn" from me, because they cleared it during the name-reserve fiasco

Haha; no worries!

Not to mention the gravity holds; both of them basically looked at my blue bar, laughed manically, and slurped away.

Why do I suddenly see four girls in mini-skirts and a four-tone color scheme pushing softdrinks while an infinitely repeating song is playing?

Started at level 13 last night; he's a 19 now.
Okay, I treated last night as a cool run, and a chance to see if the toon would be effective for TFs... if I were to repeat Posi on him, with SOs, wouldn't those be leveled out of effectiveness?

Thus, the grav/kin toon may not be something to use, for the horde runs. Trying to branch out a bit, and have toons that fit any situation, for any combo, for the future

Edit-> constant rests: no joke. I don't remember taking the knee that many times... ever. Got to where I was watching Paragon and MB; anytime they were together, I rested (if the rest was recharged). Only way I had even a smidgen of blue most of the TF. Popped blues instantly, too. :-S

End heavy is an understatement. I *did* have sb (or, I had the movement power where I snag speed off a foe); forgoed a second powerpool choices to (I thought) maximize his abilities (recall friend, sprint, and didn't get either teleport OR health).

My area holds hit most of the time, and, if I had a full bar, actually did fairly well. But, the buffs from Kin didn't buff enough at that level, nor heal enough, to make it worth the offset of the Grav set. Plus, one group basically ran me dry of end; up until the end was dead, the power refresh/etc was good... but, ran me dry.

Hrm. I'm going to have to look at that character long and hard, and go back over my combat logs this weekend.
I've had that character shelved for years... but he may end up with the SR/MA toon: on the shelf until a power pass is made (which makes him an easy target for deletion).

Could have been worse.

... I so totally need to figure out what I'm doing wrong with that 'troller. Was using last night as a dry run to see if he'd be any good for the next round; now I'm all paranoid.
(Might stick to a tank or pistoleer blasty!)

Aye. The ambushes spawn everywhere there are mobs throughout the map. That's why some of them take a weird time to get to the room; there is a timer for the spawns, but they spawn at one of the points and travel.

Traveltime of an ambush is: (whatever the interval between a spawn cycle) + traveltime from the spawn point that was activated.

Essentially, you clear that map's spawn points slightly more than twice (lieuy ambushes are extra). Well, from what I've seen, anyway... haven't tracked down all the lieuy ambush origins, so I'm not certain if they count into the total number of end-room ambushes. Just happens that the ambush spawns all run to the Bison Bathroom and Shower of Doom (with Guns!).

Still trying to figure out the math on the ambush spawn size, though.

You are so getting a good rep shot in about 23 hrs, 30ish minutes.

I'm certain we can help test/etc. the third mission. :-)
Plus, the wording is "First Annual"....

"Evil dimension keeping you oppressed? Join the Calamitous Bankers Guild of Intent! We of the CBaGIt are here to free the Praetorians of their overlords and open a new capitalistic venture enterprise dedicated to multidimensional item trading and the truly Grey market! Act fast, and your rogue or vigilante can smuggle... or liberate... enhancements from all sides! Profit, capitalism, and the multidimensional Pirate, erm, Privateer Way!"

Suddenly, Praetoria (or some other dimension) becomes a freeport universe specializing in trade.
Wonder if that means Praetoria Paragon becomes a Mos Eisley, Freeport, or Port Royale of the multidimensional sort amongst the various sides and factions in such a lore system.

Sorry!
...Just means I need to update profiles again, and start fishing... again. I'm gettin' too old for this; ya'll married types, I'm totally jealous about.
