Scarlet Shocker

Hi

I reckon once things have been running a couple of months, things will work out just fine. Try and bear with us tho... Imagine us EU forumites are kittens and we're just coming out of our nice, cozy warm safe EU cardboard box for the first time. We might venture out slowly and cautiously at first and dash back in the first sign somebody even comes close to contemplating about merely speculating about saying boo in the general region of a goose (or us) before legging it back into our nice coze eu box again.

But as with all kittens, once we've got the measure of this place, it'll be chaos. Cuddly, fluffy, cute chaos, but chaos notwithstaning and we shall be everwhere causing havoc.

Logging into the forum was a complete nightmare. Took me several goes - but finally got it but I notice the "Forgot your Password" link actually takes you to a support board. THAT is going to get some backs up I'm sure.

The colour sucks. It's awful. I mean what colour is it anyhow? A sort of teal grey green kind of nothing colour. Hardly blue heroic and hardly red villainous. It's a nothing colour that has non-descript blandness written all over it.

Though you neither need the double slash or the quotes.

Don't you just love the logic behind the commands in the game?

Other question: Are you using the n50 or the n52? n50 has issues where pressing more than three keys results in erroneous keys being pressed. n52 doesn't.

n52

I love it. The only thing I have found with it is that the thumb button sometimes is a bit sensitive.

ok it's up and running now!

Linky

I'm in the process of throwing up a forum at Riff's Realm for anyone who'd care to make use of it.

Usual rules of politeness and decency etc.

Should be up in about 30 minutes

IM seems to have vanished some time ago though.. Guess he really DID leave! W00t!

Unlike some others we could mention

Pff.. I've left twice since then. Only reason I come back is coz I love you all!

[/ QUOTE ]

that explains the icing then

[ QUOTE ]
I feel what we need to create is our very own Uxbridge English Dictionary to really let our US friends know what we mean.

Definitions such as;

Bedlam; A very favourite sheep

or

farcical: a bike that makes you look like an idiot

or even

lackadaisical: a bicycle made for one.

Suicide - to take legal action against half a person

Forget - to obtain more than three but less than five

An industrial accident?

Ok with that and Shadowe's misreading of a post I think I need to go pour some bleach into my left ear

Arghhhhhhhhh!

Just realised it may become harder to avoid spoilers of US shows/films.

And of course Webster did nothing to help

[/ QUOTE ]
Webster the spider? Who bastardised the English language and then went on to set up Arachnos?

BTW - Are you going to try keeping up your talk about sticky wickets? Can you explain how the game works when you run back and forth between two lines rather than around a diamond?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well apparently the wicket at Edgbaston is "like jelly" according to Steve Rouse, the Warwickshire groundsman. So I imagine only the cream of the players will find success there and should not be trifled with, and any pitch invaders will be remanded in custard.

Edit to add that the Americans have successfully forgotten that they played cricket until the their civil war - when they adopted baseball because they only then needed a rifle butt and a ball

There's a famous quotation variously attributed to Winston Churchill or Oscar Wilde (I suspect it's the former) "Britain and America, two nations divided by a common language."

And of course Webster did nothing to help

Cool that's 3 then

I was thinking I might play a Widow too

Good people I have a problem I need some help with.

On Scarlet Shocker (and only her oddly) when in combat the number 1 power tray will often switch to 2, 3 or even 4. I use a Belkin Nostromo for playing and there's clearly some kind of keypress/mouse combo that's making it happen but I can't work out exactly what, and it only happens on her.

Thus I suspect it's a keybind problem so I want to go back to basics.

However I don't want to lose all my key binds etc (fly poses etc) so I would like to back up all my binds etc.

Not sure if this is doable but any input/suggestions would be gratefully recieved.

I don't think War Witch and Ghost Widow could be stood there staring at each other without coming to blows

[/ QUOTE ]

Ah but DJ Zero wouldn't let them so the most they'd come to is some harsh words.

Still, Pocket D Zone event right there.

"Babbage spotted in Boomtown"
"Ghost Ship sighted in Independance Port"
"Ghost Widow and War Witch are yelling at each other in Pocket D... again"

[/ QUOTE ]

Yanno, I think if GW and WW decided to have at it, I don't think Zero would get much say in the matter. He has enough trouble with Snaptooth let alone signature characters!

Having a person to level you in Pocket D wouldn't be a bad thing I agree but I don't think War Witch and Ghost Widow could be stood there staring at each other without coming to blows (even if only on the ethereal plane, after all they are both dead.)

There are other alternatives, like a generic leveller, a la Cimerora or Vanguard.

Can you actually level with War Witch in Pocket D tho?

OMG! I missed it...
Better late than never: happy b-day Riff! Hope you had an extra special good one!

Thanks Rabbit

True

sometimes you can hear me party here:

(live as I post this)

Thanks but at my time of life it's just a number. Over halfway to 90 now

Anyone up for forming a villains team to work through all the Strike Forces sequentially on a regular evening?

It's not something I've ever done but could be a lot of fun.

I'm suggesting we could all make a new toon (any AT ok at this stage so long as we have balance) and do a few bank missions for the travel powers etc and maybe a bit of MA stuff to get to 15 and kick off the Tarikos SF

Me also

Welcome back!
