Vote it off the blacklist

[/ QUOTE ]

Voted it off the list! It's not a true rickroll. For one thing, it's actually funny.

I've watched this over and over and over. Studies show it's still funny.

I don't know why this is so funny, but it is.

I'll be spending most of this one working. *sigh*

The time I do get to be online will be spent leveling a stalker I've had for around 2 years who's still in her early 20s (god I hate this set, but she's a great RP character), and pushing my ice/storm 'troller to 32.

PvPers are proud of the work involved in making a pvp toon. I like many others had to take my lumps and ask questions and take the ridicule while learning and I still have a long way to go.. I personally hope the Devs file this idea in the also ran dept.
If you wanna dummy it down or make it cheap and easy then this is the idea to go with. Personally implementing the duel modes would not only make me retch I would have to cancel my subscription and go play elf bowling.

"I got treated like crap, and now I want to treat people like crap in return. If you make it so that when I treat people like crap, they can PvP and still exclude me then I will not play this game anymore."

Great argument. Aces.

My reply to any criticism of Ex shall now be, "He rescued a doggy, you shut up!"

*peer closely* What's that sign on the lower right hand side say?

This is one I hadn't run into in awhile, until I SKed into Grandville over the double XP weekend...

Did you know that in the early days, if there were two instances of a zone, when you exited a mission you didn't get to pick which zone you went into? You were thrown into the first one available. This caused a lot of scrambling in teams, until people figured out that you could get into the same mission regardless of what instanced zone you were in (Atlas Park, Atlas Park 2, etc.).

Yes. It's coming. Safeguard missions. Being worked on right now (outside my office, in fact).

What this really means: Posi and Manti are running down the hall outside his office, shooting at each other with Nerf darts, knocking over the water coolers, breaking down doors, tipping over desks and yelling:
"i shots u!!"
"no wai i doged i hav teleprot!!! i shots u first!"
"my armor blos up u r ded!!!!"

But that's just a guess.

I just sent a PM to cuppa asking if purposefully giving a player debt is considered griefing. Will update when she gets back to me

[/ QUOTE ]

The Devs say - No.

Ultimately PVE mobs in a PVP zones are hazards of a PVP zone. Players do have control (and options) that will prevent them from being victims of the TP Foe tactic.

Regarding being held, immobilized, slept and then being teleported into a PVE mob: griefing? No.

If a player uses TP Foe and teleports another player into a mob, so that their health is reduced, and then finishes them off with a killing shot….griefing? No.

If a player intentionally uses a knockback power (or Repel or Dispersion Bubble) on another player from the top of the roof to the street below where there happens to be a PVE mob, and the player’s presence draws mob aggro and dies…should the player who knocked back the target player off that roof be actioned for griefing? No.

I'll be in Warburg fighting Titans and Heroes AND Villains if you need me...

We don't.

But yeah, thanks Cuppa. Now that jerks have full Dev backing to be jerks, I'm only more certain my decision to not participate in PvP was the correct one. I mean, I always knew they were there, but I never believed the Devs were okay with it.

That sound you heard? That was my good opinion of the dev team dropping.

The Hollows wasn't always there. Perez Park used to be the first level-restricted zone characters had access to. Before Hollows, most people ran the mission strings in King's Row.

When the Hollows was first added, only the first row of sandbags existed. Spawns near the entrance were of all levels, happened often in the parking lot across from Wincott, and people fleeing combat would also run groups back there.

During the hours when the area was well-populated, this would lead to huge battles and almost non-stop combat. During less-populated hours, this mostly just led to player obliteration. Enough complaints were generated that the devs added a second line of defense, moved the spawn points away from the entrance, and restricted spawn levels near the entrance to 5-7.

Some of us feel this was a sad day in the Hollows.

See, none of you look at the big picture.

You knock him out, and implant a series of nanobots in his brain whose sole function is to rewire the hero's prefrontal cortex, inducing schitzophrenia and paranoia. You also give him a few doses of whatever handy mutagen you happen to have lying around, so that he's more powerful.

Then you set him free. You let him go back to his friends, his life, and his loved ones.

Then you buy a widescreen plasma TV and wait for the "Hero Goes Bad! Kills Family, Friends" newsfeeds to start.

That's what you do with captured heroes. Kill them? You kids today with your crazy ideas.

No, but I regard this post as a perfectly plausible reason to not hit 40 and to continue with my alt-itis. So. Now I blame you.

I... was going to comment, but then I looked at Mad Druid's avatar and my brain went blooey. Hm. Now what was it...

Oh yes! I have to agree that this feels more like a "public split done for effect so Manti can get in good with the spiders" thing than an honest switching of sides. If it were just the slide to villainy, he'd have snuck away, not invited Swan, Mynx, and Libby along to witness his betrayal.

That said, I say this: Evil Manticore. Yum. My heroines will convert, my evil villainesses will be cooing. Hey, how do I join that Manticore fan club thing?

<3 CoX? Taken. PL MEH? Taken. Grrr!

5. They Might Be Giants - Istanbul

[/ QUOTE ]
Ooooo, an educational song!

[/ QUOTE ]

Recently, a radio station in my area sponsored a jukebox charity. You call in and pledge $25, and they'll play any song at all that won't get their license revoked by the FCC. All proceeds went to build a new Ronald McDonald house. So I ponied up $75 to hear 2 songs: Bobby Darin's "Mack the Knife", and They Might Be Giants' "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)".

The station was a Top 40 pop station. The volunteer who got my call was probably all of 16. I was on my cell phone, trying to get her to understand that They Might Be Giants was the band. "Mack the Knife" she took as Matt the Knight. Seriously. It was still worth the $75.

Lawsy. This is gonna be embarassing.

1) Baby Grand - Billy Joel & Ray Charles
2) Young - Nickle Creek
3) Bad Reputation - Joan Jett
4) Name of the Game - Crystal Method
5) Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
6) Heaven or Las Vegas - Cocteau Twins
7) We're Not Gonna Make It - Presidents of the United States
8) Three Doors - VAST
9) Halcyon + On + On - Orbital
10) Where'd You Go - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

That didn't work out as poorly as I'd feared. And I was kinda surprised to see Cocteau Twins on any list but mine. Cool!

There are four different things you can recieve in "nice" gifts:

Snoball
Snowbeast
Present
250 prestiage.

Sometimes you get the presitge with the present, but I have gotten it without.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you get the prestige without getting a present, it's likely the present would have been a) an insp but your tray is full; b) a snowball but you already have one; or c) a Snow Beast but you already have one.

Your best bet is to find a patrol route. I found one that had 14 potential presents in it, in Talos. Even when some of the presents were gone because someone else had spotted one, the route still netted me most of the possible presents.

Also, if you're just opening them for Toy Collector, don't kill all the beasts. Leave a baby or two. Then, if you get a Naughty and one or two minions are standing around, it won't spawn more beasts.

Lastly, if you're a highbie in a lowbie zone, be kind. At least toast the bosses and lieutenants. I left the minions in case some poor solo person was actually trying to kill level-appropriate spawns.

Hellion girlfriends slay me. They're about as smart as you'd expect a girl who dates a Hellion to be. Airheads, all of them.

What was the one they said... something like, "So I told my boyfriend that the Hellions would look so cool with rhinestones on their jackets!"

I fell off a cliff.
