  1. Okay, so for the next few weeks, let's see what kinda interest I get on Wednesday nights. I'll keep it fluid so I may change the night based on the amount of interest and if other folks start requesting other times or nights.

    I'll start looking next Wednesday night around say....8 to 9 Eastern time.

    So, which trials will I be attempting to get together? Probably start off with a Lambda as warm up then probably move on to some of the less run trials.

    We'll see how it goes. I'm easy. (yes, in that way. ^.^)

    See you around PinnBadgerers!
  2. So I've been starting to get back into playing and geez people, Pinnacle forum died! I know there's still plenty of people on the server cuz I've run plenty of trials and TFs and such lately, especially over this past holiday weekend.

    I guess you guys just don't prefer forums anymore. Le sigh.

    Anyway.

    So! I have a question. If I were to start up a regular weekly iTrial night during the week, how much interest would I get?

    Which night would be best?

    I know Sunday nights are rikti ship raids, so how about a Friday or Saturday night? Maybe a Monday-Thursday night instead?

    Now, I only suggest this as a potential night for all of us to get together and run some trials. I know you guys are fully capable (if you're not already) of pulling together trials every night. I just want to get a set day/time for people to expect such attempts.

    I'm very inexperienced in the newer trials after the BAF and Lambda, though I did just run a Dilemma Diabolique last night and it didn't seem too bad. (I think we got jipped out of the Spike badge, personally....)

    But! If you guys agree to a night for some trial-y goodness, I will do my utmost best to read up on the others and set things up as best I can.

    Lemme know!
  3. PIE!!!

    I like this individual.
  4. Monkey Man! *blows a raspberry on your belly and runs away*
  5. Psh, hell yeah! I can't wait to ditch all you drunk basta......

    I mean....No. Of course not. >.> <.<

    I'm not going anywhere.....
  6. Hooray, I was bid on! Teldon owns me now. I scurred.
  7. I thought it was for any AT joining a team running arcs in the Architect building.....
  8. No.





    ....maybe without the cutesy wootsie voice though. Some of us are more into the whips and chains (Rihanna YEAH!) side of a woman.
  9. That's a FANTASTIC idea! The Drama Queens! Now Recruiting!

    ALL DRAMA! ALL THE TIME!!!

Have things improved at all?

    I mean no disrepect to the mods of these or anyone else. Just trying to weigh in my head if it's the right thing for me.
    PinnBadges is still PinnBadges. People have fun, talk about whatever and form up teams for tasks and trials.

    Yes, it's sometimes crude, but it's always useful and always fun. If it ever starts to become not fun, there are mods to take care of it.

    ...but why only Eggnog? How boring. I thought this was Pinnacle. We get drunk and slosh with bodily fluids, no? Dammit, where's Dee when you need her.....
  14. Because he has Hide Autopowers checked. Otherwise the buffs from the team window would scroll across the entire screen. Just look at the character buffs under his Menu bar. That character has a Musculature uncommon boost slotted.

    Hijack this file as promised. Let me know if you guys need anything else from me.
  16. I previously had an ATI 1600 series graphics card on my rig and upgraded to an Nvidia 8800GT card.

    Got my computer back up and running and monitors are displaying everything as usual, but now when I try to load CoH, all I get is the blue Loading bar without any actual progress made.

    I downloaded the newest drivers for my card from Nvidia's website prior to attempting to load CoH. I don't know if that was a mistake or not. I am not incredibly technically inclined when it comes to these types of problems, so I hope someone here can give me a hand. Following will be my COH Helper file and then the HijackThis log.

  20. Isn't that called what PinnBadges is for? Someone could make an alt, you invite, they invite you, they leave or you kick them out.

    *shrug* Just sayin'.
  21. Wanting to go through life not knowing about yourself is akin to sticking your head in the sand in the middle of railroad tracks. Sure, maybe you'll be okay, but I'd rather learn more about myself and be prepared.

    On top of this, ignoring a dying relative when you could potentially save their life is not only selfish but will cause problems with the rest of your family. However, that being said, choosing to donate anything from yourself to another person is a very personal decision that you should research and decide on by yourself. But what are you losing if you are compatible and decide to donate?

    What are you losing if you are compatible and don't decide to donate?

    Because I have greatly enjoyed playing all of my characters and I do not believe in deleting a 50.

    My wife deletes almost anything that no longer interests her regardless of level but it has caused some remorse on more than one occasion and I'm not going to do that to myself.

    On another note, I ended up moving a few 50s off server, but I also ended up moving a couple I had built on other servers to Pinn. Now I have my empath and yet another scrapper here and probably will juggle a couple more characters back and forth before the free transfer period is over.
