Yeah, I noticed earlier today, while looking through my Prima guide to CoH (the first one), and noticed my grievous error in Duray's name. And I had no clue about his appearance in an SF. Which one, if you don't mind my asking.

It is Silver Mantis' Strike Force which is launched from either a mission computer or oracle inside a super group base.

Hey, Pan. :-)

I know that Rikki Tikki Tavi was the name of a mongoose in a Kipling story, but there was also a totally unrelated poem, which might be what you are thinking of....it was some kind of story about:

Ricki Ticki Tambo
No so rambo
Everybody bushkey
Kickemup pompom

Fell in the well.

I loved that book as a kid. I have a copy right here.

Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo

Did you know this about CoH?

-The leader of the Sky Raiders is an AV named Dural. He was rumored to have existed in beta, and was in one of the trailers/videos, but there have been no reports of his existence besides that.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, his name is Duray, and while he isn't seen in City of Heroes, he is at the end of a strike force in City of Villains.

My money is on Kronos.

Keep up the great work, RedTomax.

I remember all the "Save Sally" threads. Was Sally changed from the test server to live? Seems like I read somewhere that she used to attack heroes and fight back.

Really the only event source that has not been identified is the Winter '04 event. It's not clear whether or not that was another Malleus Mundi mishap (woo!) or a self-contained event or if it was influenced by another party (like the Gamester).

[/ QUOTE ]

From Cuppa's Announcement, she mentions a "Winter King". I've always wondered if this king is the archvillain of the winter horde, or if it was a typo and supposed to be winter lord.

[ QUOTE ]
The Winter King has awakened from his slumber, casting an icy gaze over Paragon City. What cold ambitions lie in his frigid soul? What devastating powers will he unleash on the unsuspecting citizens of our fair city? Keep on your guard, as with icy breath, he approaches swiftly, silently, to freeze the very heart of the City of Heroes.

The various Issue names are the chapter names of various books. (e.g. "A Council of War" is chapter 12 of Treasure Island)

Manticore's parents were originally killed by Doppleganger instead of Protean.

I think this is common knowledge, but I feel like I need to include it.

Citadel was first named Bastion.

Positron's armor didn't used to have the blue-green markings on it.

The sword on Ms. Liberty's hip is the fabled Excaliber which was entrusted to her mother Miss Liberty.

Ms. Liberty also wears the Girdle of Hera which was a wedding present to her grandmother from the Furies.

He one-shotted me in the end of CoV beta event, so I can attest to how hard he hits.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, me too. Along with Ravenstorm and some GM's.

[ QUOTE ]
EDIT: Dang, beaten to the punch by Positron.

[/ QUOTE ]

As long as you aren't beaten by Positron's punch. Ever see Knock'em Sock'em robots? Scary stuff.

[ QUOTE ]
The models for "Professor Echo" and "Dr. Aeon?" were accidentally reversed. Professor Echo should be the white-haired old man. This is fixed on the next update, the one that we're working on, but that fix wasn't propogated back to the branch on the live servers. I'll see if I can get this pushed forward.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was right! Thanks for the info.

Maestro's info window used to mention his conflict with SPIDER. Manticore mentioned later that "Just to be clear there is no spider, only Arachnos.".

I'm not sure if it has been fixed yet, but I have my doubts.

[/ QUOTE ]

Few more I thought of.

Poz - Lead Engineer at Cryptic (not to be confused with Positron)
Geko - Cryptic Senior Designer in charge of the powers team
Super Martin - Cryptic
Galaxy Girl - Cryptic (rumored to work for Cryptic, but has never posted)
Hero 1 - Cryptic (left during beta?)

There is also

Aura - NCSoft - (left for another position)
Vyvynne - NCSoft - (left for another position)

There might be some truth in what I posted, but honestly I can't be positive on any of it considering that we can't confirm who is still around.

Vyvynne - (Gone)
Aura - (Gone)

Where is SuperMartin?

I'm sorry to see you go, Arctic. Best of luck to wherever you wind up.

Sorry to hear you are leaving, but best of luck to you wherever you may go.

Awesome stuff. Thanks for the update.

Is the glowing fists character energy melee or could it be electrical melee?

Juggertha must con as a giant monster.

My villain beat up Luminary last week as well. Both are accounted for.

[ QUOTE ]
Read. Especially the last line. Malaise didn't go evil. At least not yet.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks for the link. I thought he turned rogue, but forgot he still does Statesman's bidding. I know a lot of people have posted where they expect Malaise to turn up in the Rogue Isles before CoV launched and may still.

I guess the big thing is that Sister Psyche has a new sidekick and we don't see Malaise around anymore. It is easy to think he turned rogue.

Happy 15th of February, Manticore.

Castle, have you met Mr. Rogers?

Alright, the 5th made an appearance.
