"Good" Griefing Stories

Less like a salmon and more like a canoe... (-er? -ist?), I don't fight the current and go with the flow. It's easier on the nerdrage, which I can save for the two stupid cats I live with.

Quote:If I get a hunt, Contact -> Complete Mission.Originally Posted by newchemicals
I hate hunts! They are bad for teaming! The last hunt I want to do someone else's hunt.
If I've used up my Complete Mission, then I move on to a different character for a day or two.
Sometimes it takes a while to "clear out" a contact when they have nothing but hunt missions at the end of their mission list. Nobody said OCD was going to be easy.

Quote:I get why Sam says "the game is leaving me behind," because I feel the same way. The end game is just too much work (for me), and probably explains why I haven't played much lately, and why this thread discourages me from doing so even more.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
But that's just my problem with it - the content EXPECTS me to have these high defences via Set bonuses and is designed to counter-act them. If I go there without them, my natural powerset defences get crushed, so I either HAVE to get those extra defences, or I need not apply. This is turning Set Inventions - and very specific Sets, as well - into essentially a gate, which in turn gets dangerously close to a specific gear rating. I need to have this much extra stats from my gear, and if I don't, I should go back to previous content and get that gear before I can run the content.

Quote:Not me. Looking at my picture up-thread again, I'll point out that I have two Costco workbenches as my computer tables, and use drafting chairs. That way I can either stand or sit. I also see the pic's a bit old, as I've replace the two 4:3 monitors with widescreens.Originally Posted by WanderingAries
Desk? you people have DESKS?!?!
Like Hyperstrike, I have a rack in the corner with all the computers and networking equipment. The girlfriend's computers are on the left table. The old school computer table in the front is my work laptop, since I work at home too.
But man, you guys have some awesome computers! And Turgenev's combo computer/reading room is sweet.

Quote:TL;DR version: Too much work.
So why aren't you using AE?
I used it a bit back in the day, ran some of the Dev/Guest arcs, even wrote my own arc to get the badges for my badger (and I'm sure that arc is severely broken now). I haven't been back since. It's easier to run tip or radio missions.

I like a Mastermind with Demons/Time Manipulation.
The demons could be her bound versions of the gods she owns, and time gives you "reach around the walls" effects.
As for the look, I once made a "revived" costume for my magic character for use when rezzed or using an Awaken. The costume was all white, and I used the white glow aura. It had a very god-like feel and was almost painful to look at, especially on dark maps. But it allows for a very simple costume with stunning impact.
So much for my input. Apparently I'm better at questioning your questions than giving pure advice.

While I have at least two of every origin, mutant is far and away the most-often used for my characters. With a number of nuclear-powered suits, technology is the second-most used.

I hope not. You made your choice, now live with it! (At least until level 20.)

Other than my yearly subscription, I bought a $50 point pack. I haven't spent most of it, but I don't worry about grabbing stuff I want (like flying carpet for just one magic-using character).

In this day-n-age it's hard to find any form of electronic entertainment that's cheaper per unit time so I consider it good value for my dollar.

I'll be there. Last year, I posted as much as I could as quickly as I could.

Dual pistols. My DP/Traps defender is so much fun to play.

No chills. It's always interesting to see what people with real creativity can do.Quote:Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I'll get an idea, I'll think about it for a day or two, then bug one of the roughly three people I know who are willing to discuss character concepts with me (Nuclear Toast will probably get cold chills from me saying that), explain the concept, outline the problems I see with it, ask for what problems my conversation partner can add to the pile, then take some time to either explain them away or scrap the character.

There's "sci-fi", and there's "retro sci-fi". The pieces are for a "retro sci-fi" pack so vote accordingly.

Lady Shroud and I are all set, though we might have to bug out a bit early on Saturday, as she's running the Big Sur marathon on Sunday.

This time, I unchecked the "Preserve Favorites website data" and it worked. If only I could use something other than IE on my work computer. Oh well, all better now. Thanks for checking, everyone.

Plus, once you've wrung all the regular missions out of a contact, they insist on giving you three hunt missions before they'll finally let you go for good. I suppose those are the "top choice" missions I haven't taken before, but still, ugh.
