Suggestion?

Just ignore the boards. A week or two, whatever. Peek back in, see if you still feel like grumping at someone, if so, give it another week.

The break helps, trust me. (At least I *hope* I haven't bitten anyone's head off lately - haven't intended to.)

I've never bought a vanity pet, but I often get more excited about the release of a new costume set than the latest power set.

• People complain that items are being released that they dont want at the moment.
• People should take a step back and look at the amount of items we've had [both free + paid] since Freedom. I think 7 powersets so far in less than a year?

Conclusion?

• People are funny.

Edit: At first i thought the lion/liger/lyger/the thing [ ] was a non purchase for me, after seeing so many people in Atlas with it and thinking to myself that it actually looks pretty cool, im tempted to purchase it!

Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West.
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

At least give us an option to disable them..

I'm just resigned to the realistic expectation that it'll never happen in this game.

Just google Liger and 'my favorite' and I got this:

Deb: What are you drawing?
Napoleon Dynamite: A liger.
Deb: What's a liger?
Napoleon Dynamite: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.

Can you quit with the butthurt now?

The city, for your outstanding civic duty on the piers of Peregrine Island and the hellscape of Firebase Zulu? The Freedom Phalanx themselves, in anticipation of your later defeat of two hundred clockwork gears and a hundred Freakshow tanks? It's a little odd! Arguably not as odd as getting badges for your work in the Rogue Isles, however.

Let's take this to the extreme, someone with every badge one could hope to own.

Accolades:

Demonic. You have a demon inhabiting you, granting you great defensive power.

Archmage. Your study of arcane things (even if your character hates the arcane) grants you a spell to defend yourself.

Force of Nature: The power description states you have been bestowed the fury of the elements for your destructive ways.

Freedom Phalanx reserve: Do I need to go into it?

And there are more, some day jobs, and the like.

Basically, the entire point of this little exercise is to ask, do you incorporate these? Do you ignore them? Do you actively avoid the badge to not even have it a part of your history?
