Does anyone have a list of the Genie/Djinni winners, and/or screenies to post, from the 21st?

Martial Arts/Super Reflexes

I have been waiting for jodhpurs as a costume item for a long time. They are for a military uniform for one of my villains. When the Steampunk Pack showed up, low and behold there they were, jodhpurs, listed as plain as day. I purchased the pack and headed to the tailor to fancy up my badguy, when I found...NO JODHPURS!!! There were a couple types of "steampunk" pants, but absolutely nothing resembling a pair of jodhpurs. I hope this oversight will be corrected ASAP, as I really want to get my character fixed up properly.

For those who don't know, jodhpurs originated as Indian polo pants. From there, the English brought them to the rest of the world, who adopted them as equestrian wear. Soon, military uniforms modeled after riding gear would appear, and the jodhpur would be used as military wear. In the modern era, stretchier fabrics have made riding pants more form fitting. For some reason, English-style riding pants are still called jodhpurs, even though they aren't jodhpurs at all.

Can we have our jodhpurs, please...AS ADVERTISED?



I'd hate to think I spent my money on this pack just to have the one item I REALLY wanted to be missing in action. *sigh*

ARR PEE! GET YER ARR PEE HERE!



Anyone who likes to RP, who likes to actually play their characters in missions, story arcs, et cetera...and who has a "classic" style hero or villain (think comics Golden Age and early Silver Age), see the link in my .sig for the Golden Age Heroes SGs (and villain group, the League of Sinister Intent). We have a great coalition and things going on almost all the time. We also host the annual Golden Age Festival in Galaxy City, so you may have heard of us there.

No angst...no emo...no anti heroes...just self-sacrificing "great power/great responsibility" heroey goodness!



Gods Protect! <---(our slogan)

Clarification, if you will, please...

Above the flier and on the flier it says Pocket D. In the text below the flier it says Gemini Park. Of course, Gemini Park is the perfect place, for nostalgic reasons. Will it start in one spot and move to the other or is that Gemini Park reference just a misprint?

Grats on this new group. While I won't be joining, I had a couple ideas for character names.

An Irish boxer (weren't all Irish boxers and all boxers Irish, back in the day?)...The Fighting Mick. (YES, I'm Irish-American and we use the term "Mick" without prejudice. Every time someone comes out with an insulting nickname for the Irish, the Irish take it and use it themselves. Gotta love it!)

A copper-clad robotic police officer...The Copper Copper. ("Copper" is an old-time nickname for a police officer as they put "the cop" (arrest) on the bad guys.)

Both names are free at present.

My apologies, first of all. I do not have much time ingame, so this isn't something I could create and run, but it is an idea which has been rolling around in my head for some time.

There is a card game called "Crazy Eights." That always struck me as being a great name for a supergroup, although I'd change it to "Crazy 8s," and here's why.

Each member of the group could have any costume, powers, et cetera, with the only requirement being their chest emblem would be a circle with the number 8 in it in a contrasting color. Their names would all follow a pattern...ending in the "ate" sound but being spelled with the number 8 at the end instead of the letters. A few examples are below.

Agit-8
Breastpl-8
Cheapsk-8
Cogit-8
Conglomer-8
Cre-8
Demonstr-8
Duplic-8
Elimin-8
Emin-8
Germin-8

And yes, I know there can be some naughty words made in this fashion, but let's all be better than that and not go there, please. Adult-oriented words would not be appropriate names for a superhero, so let's move on.

I don't know if anyone would want to give this a try, but I figured if anyone was crazy enough to create the Crazy 8s, it would be someone on Virtue. Anyone want to take a shot at it?

Can't say I like the casting of Momoa as Conan. Conan is supposed to be from a northern barbarian tribe, NOT Polynesia. Ah-nold, as Germanic/Austrian is much closer to the genetic mold of the Conan character.

What's next for our Conan of the Pacific...Conan the Surfer? ...Conan and the Outrigger of Doom? ...Conan vs the Volcano?


No thanks!

Or...someone *hint* could always start a chat specifically named "VirtueChat" or somesuch. I don't do much chat, but just remembered how much fun the Public channel used to be on the MUSHes, MUSEs and such I used to be on, back in the day.


Just a thought...

Has anyone else had this happen...

Firstly, I have all my keybinds saved to a file so I can restore them at any time.

I was messing around with the keybinds on one of my characters. Somehow the "on demand mouse look" on my middle mouse button got the "match player (character) to camera" function attached to it.

On any of my other characters, I can look around with "rotate camera" while keeping my character facing the same direction, then hit the "on demand mouse look" and swing the camera and character around at the same time, keeping the same orientation between the camera and character. As an example, I can swing the camera around so I can look at my character's left side, then move the camera and character at the same time so I can pan around, all the time keeping the view of my character's left side. Now, all of a sudden, my character re-faces to match the camera every time I hit the button for "on demand mouse look."

I have reloaded my keybinds file and have switched all the possible commands from one key to another and back again. No matter what I do, the character keeps adjusting facing to match the camera. None of my other characters do that.

Anyone know how I can fix this?


Many thanks!

I had an insane sword-wielding cow, Kow Loon and a martial arts bull, Kung Pow. Neither of them lasted very long, though.

I did post on my SG's board that, with the animal pack out, I'd have to create my soldier dog, Sgt. Furry, and try to find the rest of the Howling Cur-mandoes.

Hi-do-ho, pals and gals!

The Festival is TONIGHT!

Remember...Golden Age can be anything from the pulps to the four color comics of the late 1950s. Silver Age is generally said to have started in the late '50s/early '60s, depending on title and publisher. If your character fits in later than about the mid-'60s, he/she will probably be out of place.

Does that mean you can't come...absolutely not! Icon has plenty of retro duds on hand, in conjunction with the Festival. Let them set up your get up, fire up your flivver, hop your popsicle, or just hoof it on over!

By the way, welcome to Virtue. Don't carry any opened cans of cat food, tuna, or such in your pockets. The catgirls WILL steal your pants.

You may also want to hang out under the Atlas statue in AP. There is plenty of ARR PEE around there, much of the time.

Nothing?

Anybody?

Is this thing on? *tap tap*

Am I the only one to whom this is happening?
