Woot! It'll be great to have you, Nuke. The more the merrier, and all that.

Now, we're just waiting for Gothess to post the next one. (LGTF, I think)

Aye, Shivans and Nukes would be wicked helpful.

Count me in for this Sunday.

If you're opening Kid's Jedi Academy for the Advancement of Hamidon Smack-Down, how many human sacrifices do you require for an entry fee?

Seriously, though, if you're offering, I'm accepting. Have toon, will travel. Drop me a PM, or in-game @Sokyoku.

How's come I didn't rate a place in this, our finest screenie, yet?? <sniff, sniff> Guess I'll have to commit seppuku and get my own special screenie.

Meh, it is my Wu-Tang Style that you fear.

I'm in for ITF this Sunday, and I'd be glad to help you out with leveling, Gothess. I need to get Tripp up a few levels, anyway. I'm thinking Thurs-Friday-ish, possibly Saturday-afternoon-ish. Vague enough?

Respect. Pretty clever, Rasta.

My roommate calls these scheduled forrays into CoV "playdates" (kills me every time he says it), and I think this "playdate" is my favorite. I'll be there w/ Tripp, again.
Have you sent in your application to MENSA, yet? I think they might have an opening for someone w/ your deductive reasoning skills.

Yeah, this one is my fav of all the screenies we've taken so far. Although, if you look at it long enough it looks like a still from the Price is Right. ("A NEEEEW CAR!!!") All we're missing is the crappy cardboard backdrop, lol.

Don't listen to 'em, Astral. "They" said that my Martial Arts/Ninjitsu Stalker would suck, too, but he gets the job done. Like Grey said, "(which usually denotes the player is looking for a challenge)... ", and he was right.

I like that. I think I'm gonna borrow it sometime.

I warned you, now I have to dust off the thumbscrews.

But, seriously, I don't have a problem with running it again. Like Demon, it's quickly becoming one of my favorite SF's. Besides, I have to make up for last run's two floor-inspecting bouts. Still trying to determine how much is too much w/ Tripp, and I'm still a little shaky on the whole bruting thing. Practice makes perfect, right?

Why not have a second run (or first, as the case may be ) sometime this week? I'd be interested in helping out. Just give me a time/day to be there.

We'll let this one slide, but the next involves thumbscrews.

I'm bringing Tripp Breaker. (I freakin' <3 this toon. ) Or, I've got a dom that fits the bill if we get a little melee-heavy.

That's the first thing I do to almost everyone I meet. Partly, to see if what's being said matches the number of months on the badge. Mostly, because vets w/ sixty-something months under their belt don't seem to be interested in talking to strangers. (I know mother told you not to talk to strangers, but I promise, I don't bite.....at least not without offering aneseptic spray afterwords. ) Or, if they do deem you worthy of conversation, it's to say something less than eloquent/helpful. EX: During my first month of play, I was sent to G-ville for insps on a lvl 15 toon. My first toon, btw. I was told the best insps in the game can be found by the black heli on the other side of the Isle. I was less than pleased with what I found. That curbed my enthusiasm for talking to anyone above my vet level for a while. Luckily, I have a great sense of humor (albeit dry) and recovered from that quickly enough.

I've only been playing for year, almost exclusively on Protector. Any/all Alts on other servers have long since disappeared. I'm one of the rarities (at least, that I know about) who has a stable full of villians, and one Hero, that I only play when I get specific requests from the few friends I have made. (as I've come to understand it, the blueside pop is much higher than redside) As such, it's been difficult finding anyone to teach me anything without a "you really didn't know that?" undertone. It wasn't until I started frequenting events posted on the forums that I have made greater strides in that area, without the undertone. Even still, I find myself feeling like an outsider on my home server. This isn't a complaint, as I don't take rejection hard. Everything I've said speaks to my opinion of how close-knit this server is. It's been like the hazing I had to endure during my USMC days: fun, a little embarrassing, and a sign that they care.

Just a suggestion to the "old-timers", be more friendly, or at least curtious. You didn't start with an encyclopedia of knowledge at your disposal, either.

Was just wondering that, myself.

This, this, and more of this. My favorite boss fights were from this game. The Ruby and Emerald Weapons were so freakin' sweet. And who doesn't want a chest full of materia? Or a nine foot ostrich-chicken hybrid that you ride through the trippiest hallway I've ever seen?? I defy you to say you don't. It's like saying you don't have a secret desire to own a monkey.

Agreed. The equipment/villa upgrades are awesome, adding a little more depth to the game, IMO.

It is crazy psycotic, but I found it lost out to the God of War franchise. Love me some ultraviolent Kratos.

Put me down for a double "squeeeeeeeee!"

I've played them all except for XI (took me several years to come around to the MMO craze ), and have yet to be disappointed. Even X2 was fun, for what it was. Seems like only yesterday I popped FF in my NES, after blowing in the bottom of the cartridge, of course. All of you old enough to remember actually playing NES will know what I'm talking about.
