  1. *looks over list*


    Yups, mew approves this! =o_O=b

    *slaps paw on inkpad then slaps the OP on the forehead*

    Pep Cat's Stamp of Approval! =^_^=\m/
  2. Once I had settled on my main character, Peppermint Cat, I thought I'd change my forum name (which was a random selection of letters at the time) to my main's name. Of course it was too long, so I just shortened it. >_>




    Secret Origin exposed! =O_O=
  3. I've gone back to most of my "old school" characters, a few Issues ago, and updated their looks with the current set of costume pieces. Of course, 90% of the parts were exactly the same, but the tailor didn't recognize that. =>_<=

    The problem is when there is a part that still exists, but can't be used on a different body, or when you have another part, say Jackets, on, even if there was a time when you could use it (which is how I have a jacket-wearing female with Evil Epaulets).
  4. Well my main 50 was already a serious badger, so I think I had one or two pop up, but one of my higher level villains, who I started as a badger, then gave up on (some of those requirements were quite high, after all), suddenly had about nine or ten added.

    What Colors....

    I changed my dominator's electric assault to a nice blue color, as I couldn't stand the red. <_< My energy/energy brute gained blue armor, and dark red for melee powers (the Dark colors look fairly evil on energy melee). And, finally, my patriotic tanker altered her pink pom-poms for some heroic-blue pom-poms... ones which weren't as bright, so you can actually see both her hands, and the bright circle of energy that goes around them.

    Over time, as I log in my many, many alts, I'll alter powers to match costumes, theme, or just make sure primary/secondary match up.
  6. I used "Pep Cat" as my forum name after discovering what would be my main character for the time: Peppermint Cat.

    I think I have it on a few other game boards, though I don't post very often elsewhere. I've also used "Pep" or "Peppy" as names for quite a few GameBoy and DS games.
  7. Oh wow, that's awful. =O_O=

    *brews some peppermint tea for all the sickly folk* >_>/#



    *spills it on the floor* =0_o=!



    *quickly tries to wipe it up* =>_<=\m/



    *slips on slippery floor* =@_@=

    Get better soon! o.o

    Barf

    Unless it's been taken out, you can still give every placed enemy in an Architect mission the Barf emote. >_>

    Back when i14 was on Test, I made a quickie mission that had all placed Freakshow bosses doing the jumping dance emote, and the rest of the Freak spawns doing the barf emote ("Dude, put down your arms, man!"). <_<;;


    I think the real reason it's not a player emote is simply cause we'll use it. A lot. And if you're standing close to a barfer, with the sound turned up... well... it's kinda nasty and liquidy to listen to. -_-;;
  9. Which includes pets. <_<

    Watching a boss say some trashtalk after taking out my 10hp vet pet makes him/her look like a chump, I have to say.
  10. Initially, I do just Bronze rolls, but after having most of my chosen set IOs placed, and I'm not eyeing any uncommon sets in particular, I'll start with Silver, and the occasional Gold (usually after hitting over 8K in tickets, so I'll have leftovers), just to keep things interesting.

    Just curious

    I used to run arcs for merits, but, boy, most storyarcs don't give that many (or they didn't, haven't looked at recent numbers), and you have to run a lot in order to get some of the decent, and very high auction-priced, recipes. It was just easier to run a mess of MA missions, rack up tickets, and take my chance on random rolls. <_<;;

    Now just doing arcs normally, outside of Oro, I'll do them as we get to them, and save up the merits for later.

    SG Ranks

    For "Necessary Evil" (villain SG, of course), the names I went with, that I can remember, are "Prime Evil", "Greater Evil", "Plain Evil", "Mostly Evil", and "Minor Evil".

    For an insect-based SG, "Queen", "Guard", "Soldier", "Drone", and "Larva" (haven't updated to Super Leader status yet).

    For my group of anarchists, in a Freakshow vein, I picked "Da Boss", "Chief", "Goon", and "Runt" (can't recall the other ones). <_<

    And for my feline SG, called "F.E.L.I.N.E.", natch, we have "Top Cat", "Cat's Meow", "Tunaguard", "Alley Cat", "Tenderpaw", and "Fuzzy Butt". =^_^=

    What if?

    I'd keep playing til I got everybody I have to 50, though I probably wouldn't make new characters without any new sets coming out. <_<;;

    Still, I might just keep the subscription, even after that, as I love the game so much.

    I pop out from time to time, playing other stuff, but I always return here. >_>
  14. Heh, Pistol Scrappers.

    Well, it looks like we'll get Pistols with Going Rogue, so if there happens to be a Pistol Ancillary for scrappers, I'll be satisfied. :P

    Of course, we'll need a Pistol Manipulation for blasters too... and a Pistol Assault for Dominators... Pistol Control would be good, too... Pistol Armor for tankers... =o_O=
  15. I've been having ISP issues for about a month now, however, before that mess started, Infinity (being the only East Coast server I play on), has been giving me serious netgraph issues. Enemies move around randomly, rubberbanding, long pauses when nothing happens, then suddenly everything happens rapidly...

    I blamed my ISP for this, initially, til I did a Mothership raid on Guardian, one of the West Coast servers. Despite all the people, it was smooth as silk... well, lowered fps, of course, but the netgraph never hit red never gave weird spikes, and nobody was rubberbanding from my viewpoint. Swapped back to Infinity, and just having three or four people and NPCs near me would cause issues.

    I can blame my ISP for random loss of Internet connection, but there's something going on between my place (central Florida) and the East Coast servers, that isn't happening with the West Coast servers.
  16. I've only written what amused me, and for the life of me, I can't think of anything funny for a second arc, so I guess I'm not what you'd call a "comedy writer". =>_<=

    But there are some funny folks out there, and I'm quite envious of those that can consistantly produce stuff that makes folks laugh. >_>
  17. I'll second the Banished Pantheon zombies, as they have helmets and guns that look like something from WWII. Make them a custom group, and change all their bios. Add a few custom zombies for variation (Assault Rifle, or even a Zombie Mastermind), especially if you want zombies that have any elemental powers.
  18. Not necessarily waning, but I do have ideas for characters using the powersets in i16 (and additional possibilities from GR, especially with side swapping). Plus, there's the whole color-changing aspect of Power Customization to think about.

    Getting antsy, really.
  19. Cursed typos, I'll get you yet! =>_O=\m/ *shakes paw*

    Thanks for pointing those out. Hate silly typing mistakes, and have them fixed.
  20. Dungeoncleaners! (#125715)
    An adventure module for 1-8 players.

    Adventurers are supposed to raid dungeons for treasure, then spend it frivolously in local taverns, but when a group of them decide to take up permanent residence, that's bad for business.

    What's an Evil Overlord of a fantasy kingdom supposed to do? Get his Chief Dungeonfiller to clean those squatters out, that's what! Slay the Looters, rescue the monters, and restock the Treasure!

    After all, it needs to be ready for the next batch of Adventurers...



    This arc was created in a fit of inspired silliness, after somebody (well, mistformsquirrel), wanted to know if there were any "dungeoncrawler" fantasy arcs. The costume generator didn't make much variety of recognizable fantasy monsters (orcs and goblins looked okay, dragons, though, not so much), but it could do "player characters" just fine: dwarves, elves, halflings, etc., so I merely swapped which side you'd be working for.

    Being a veteran 1st edition AD&D player, as well as a fan of Final Fantasy, original Everquest, and old school Zork games from Infocom, I plenty of material to slap around, and the i15 updates to the Architect allowed for more customizing, hence the "v1.3" in the title. <_<

    Everything inside is a custom critter, and I've added custom text to pretty much anything you can add text to, for those that like to read everything. I've also tried to keep the mez to a respectable level. No EBs or AVs here either, just a couple of placed Bosses (though more will spawn with larger teams or higher Challenge Levels).

    Enjoy! =^_^=\/

    Smoke Grenade fix (yes fix, not nerf, it was broken as hell)
    Purple patch
    CoV
    ED
    AoE limits
    AE

    And capes. <_<

    I can still remember a post from the first summer, all in caps: "DEVS! CAPES NOW PEOPLE ARE LEAVING IN DROVES!"

    Yeah, brand new game, let's quit cause they don't have capes.
  22. *gives gourmet peppermints to all the peeps* =^_^=
  23. Three times tonight, so far, and starting since last Sunday, I've been getting random disconnects and Lost Connection to Mapserver messages every night... but not during the daytime, so far...
  24. The problem with doing that, is that each variation counts as a new critter. &lt;_&lt;

    Just making three versions of one minion type, then wanting to make multiple versions of the other minions you have planned... and the Lts... and the bosses...

    You'll run out of space very quickly. O_O;;
  25. Contact support. Anybody can report any mission as a Farm, and it could just be flagged as one by support without anybody even bothering to look at it (considering the huge number of arcs that exist, and the limited manpower to review them).

    Of course, it's possible that it's been banned for something other than being a farm, like an offensive... anything really. You said it was for laughs, it's possible somebody thought it horribly offensive in some way.

    Whatever the reason, contact support, and get to the bottom of it.
