I think floaty, the evnts they're refering to happened in the Open RP thread thing.

You know that no one who wasn't involved in the Open Season plot had any reason to go anywhere near?

And I provided and abridged list of people who'd respond.

The real list includes just about every faction and group in the game universe capable of responding.

Arachnos doesn't go that far.

To explain CB, this isn't like the Jokers latest scheme that Batman has to foil, what you've done and pulled is a massive crisis crossover event type thing.

And as much as they might want to characters can't ignore those, like the idocy of Countdown that the entire DC line had to suffer through.

You've done reasonable Supervillianly before CB, when Baron eterinty attacked Steel Canyon with Dinsours.

That was some prety big supervilllany without cuasing world shattering damage or altereations.

Ultimatly though we can't change the game world, so the Supervillians plot to turn the world into monkies must fail, but by the same token the supervillian must escape to try again another day.

Our characters have no choice but to react to this, just as you would have no chocie but to acknowledge if someone blew up a building in your hometown.

And that's where it goes too far CB, we can't write it off as reasonable background event, we can't just ignore it, because it's so much bigger and more terrible then anything else.

And this is why I've been avoiding RP meets with you CB, because I can't just write your characers out of reality, yet I've quite frankly had enough of them, and of things like this.

ETA: And come on guys, as argumentative and annoying as I am, you know in the end I'm jsut looking out for the fun RP for everyone, oh and trying to keep consistant with lore!

Being somewhat of a Lore Hog I feel compelled to point out that CB's event here would be the most devistatign single attack since the Rikti war.

This is the kind of thing that would Mobilise the Freedom Phalanx, Dawn Patrol, Vindicatres, Longbow, Hero Corps, Wyvern and if it's magic related the Midnigth Squad.

Not to mention even some villian groups or individual villians would think this is too far, I for one can see Crey jumping onto this to garner some good publicity.

Simpley put, the approprate in game responce would be things way beyond our simple RP powers, it's kinda a Dev scale world altering event.

So yea, say what you want, but in my humble opinion somthing of this scale we shouldn't be doing, it changes the world too much. Of course it doesn't help that there's a fine line between big plot and world changing plot, to use Techs Arachnos invasion as an example, it was a concentrated bout of Arachnos activity that did some symbolic damage as was driven back.

That's belivable and doesn't shatter the balance of how things are in the world, heck the fact that the Freedom Phalanx spawns in Recluses Victory to try and fight helps in that matter :P

But yea, somthing this scale would have an approriate scale responce we can't simulate, unless you want the Court to be finished off screen or somthing?

The actual population required to support Preatoria City is much lower then you'd expect, given thier tech level,a fter all you've got hordes of cheap robotic labour and vast anti-matter reactors providing power after all.

Uh? Kheldians don't splinter like that, the 'forms' are the shapes of previous hsots teh symbiote has ahd and is able to create an energy based duplicate of.

Thus if you want a Human Form onlu PB/WS simpley have your character be the first host, problem solved, fits with the lore, no need to worry about more zany solutions.

I currently have Delta Psi, Mutant gunslinger former refugee with a bone to pick with authority, three guessess which side she's on :P

And at some point I'm going to roll up Loyalist Susan Bright, if you thought regular Sue was bad enough, you ain't seen nothing yet :P

Nah, for that to work in universe, it'd be like a Minbari walking around saying "no really, I'm a Vorlon" on B5.

But as explained, at the end of the RWZ arc (TF nonewithstanding, but then like the STF you can't really count the LGTF to have happened) the RWZ state makes perfect sence as even fter teh LGTF they still ahve a working motherhsip and ample forces to keep raiding, which they do, nothing in the arc takes away this capability,r educed thier troop serngth, opens upa civil war sure, doesn't stop them from raiding though.

Perhaps, though one thing that we do know is the Midnighter arc happened, ebcause issues after it have added more content based on those arcs having been successful, threfore teh Midnigther arc has by your definition happened, so the inkling of the Lost Rikti connection in addition to the Traditonalists being good guys does indeed seem to be out there now, unless you're saying they'd somehow keep the Lost Cure a secret?

Not to mention, if the arcs are happening at teh same time as each other or one slightly before or after the other, when we have other issues pumping out arcs related it must mean that by your logic the RWZ arcs have happened.

You're kinda forgetting the most key character in the entire arc.

Really how you missed them I'll never know, but here I'll enlighten you;

The Hero, who at the stage in the career this mission unlocks, is only jsut out of the rookie fighting Hellions stage, so if a Rookie hero is treated as knowing these things as a matter of course (Things here being defined as The Traditionalsits being good guys and not Richards, and teh Lost being Humans transforemd into Rikti) it's reasonable to assume the knowledge is not that uncommon.

Yet nearly everyone seems to know in thata rc that the Lost and Humans being converted into Rikti, which is Omega elvel clearance, teh ebst selling novel mentioend only indicates the Rikti traditalists are good guys adn that Nemesis started the war, doesn't reveal the Rikti are humans thing.

So how'd Lady Jane get Hero One's blood post RIktifictation then? Y'know, one of the key parts of that there arc.

And there is a differencence between mutal non agression and active aid in curing a plague that converst your people into thiers.

From my delving into the archives it seems that highly complex fully 'Artifical lfieforms' you know the kind of free will posessing sentiant thought capable AI's in robotic shells are apparently treated as human beings, while 'dumb' none free thinking 'goonbots' are just treated as machinary.

Are we going to keep shifting the goalposts here CB?

I found evidence that supports my claima nd fits in your requirments for making it canon, simpley put the Devs seem to treat everything that has happened ina previous issue as having happened, they don't get onto dealing with what comes next right away but i clearly happened, so saying an event six issues ago didn't happen srikes me as being silly.

Trouble is CB, the end of teh Rikti warzone arc and TFs results in teh same situation in the warzone you see today.

That being the Linage of War doing it's damndest as teh Restructurist faction to wipe out Paragon or pursuade the rest of the Rikti they're right, while the traditionalists (The by far smaller faction) have made peace with Humanity and are trying to stop the Linage in a civil war type scenario.

The only information that would be common knowledge from all this is that there are some Rikti who are good guys and possibley the Nemesis is behind the war.

Now, you speak of having somthing in game to show this? Well what of the lvl 10 Midnighter entry arc? That quite happily shows you right away the lost are working for the rikti and are infact behind it all, for the mission to be given at such a low level that seems like pretty common knoweledge and it fits your requirments.

T'would help if you could tell us if you were on the EU or US servers, as it'd help us out a fair bit by knowing who's eligable :P
