  1. Hi Major.

    I haven't seen activity from the Protectors in quite a while, but...

    I spoke briefly with Protonic Flux just a couple of days ago, in the Protector Vigilance channel, who - IIRC - was SG leader in Protectors (or at least had invite rights).

    Also, FlameWrath tried to get a spinoff SG named Protectors - CSI off the ground along with HotChili, Storm Chaser and Brontolith, but I'm unsure what the status is today.

    I know Warface is still around, but if he's involved in a SG/VG it's more than likely F.U.S.I.O.N., and apparently more often on Freedom.

    Look me up if you need any information, or if you need to reach someone in particular. I may be able to help facilitate things given your SG and one of mine were very close, way back.

    In fact, I'll be upfront and say I proposed more than once that former Protectors (like any former members of the Praesidium looking for a SG) could join Phantoms of War (now also Paragon Punishers) simply by looking our way.

    Good to see another "old timer" back in action.
  2. That bird head may be the first time I have anything negative to contemplate about a CoH update, especially when compared to all the other costume / anatomy meshes that could have been proposed instead...

    But in any case, real psyched to see the staff wanting to get even more involved with the gamer community. It was already one of the things that made CoH stand out.

    Stalemate already added it to the calendar for me.
    It's not a recurring event yet, just a one shot, but go ahead and set it when you get the chance.

    All good - we already had yours. =)

    Nope.

    Thought so too, but proven only one is applied (it was Smuggler in my case).

    Same for me - I run CoH windowed (but maximized) on one monitor and the use the second for the boards, Titan Sentinel, HeroStats, Facebook, whatever.

    I prefer windowed so that if I need to move it around, I can.

    I dunno...

    I'm getting a definite "Nemesis Plot" feeling about these...

    Raiding is an applicable term, yes? I need a new lexicon
    Just to be clear - the N P C channel is most useful in conjunction with your local server's main channels and/or whatever SG channels you prefer.

    Think of it as an add-on to whatever channels you currently use for instant assistance to any questions you will have.

    We're lucky to have many knowledgeable vets, as well as some of Paragon Wiki folks who are all very generous of their time, knowledge and experience. ;-)
  9. I started up on the Arachnos Agent day job the day before yesterday in St. Martial (next to an arbiter), but I'll be switching to Sharkhead after reading the comments here.

    I think we also got the "nameless" card. Hard to confirm since kids/wifey had a tendency to open up anything that looked like it contained a card and/or cookies immediately upon arrival.

    Alyssa, if you're interested you could also opt to join the Mentor Project channel (in my sig).

    We offer new and returning players near instant assistance regardless of the server they're on (we have volunteers on all the servers - including Europe) and can even have someone partner up with you for a bit if you're interested in a more personal approach.

    Welcome back!

    The Rikti raids are weekly.

    Bookmark the calendar link in my signature.

    All the regular event creators / coordinators have editing rights to it and usually it's very current.
  13. There's a trick.

    Use one word only to describe your impression(s) of the Protector server in 2010.

    Mine would be:

    Camaraderie
  14. We have another addition to the roster of calendar editors: Zaloopa (Strike Force Saturdays).

    Wish me luck!

    I told her I just prefer wearing spandex to tights.
    I hear ya buddy.

    Tried 3 times and it's ... just ... not good.

    BTW, you should have put a special "Mutual MMO" clause in your marriage contract, like I did.

    Red side badges

    http://www.badge-hunter.com

    It's what I use all the time for exploration badges and history plaques.

    More specifically: http://www.badge-hunter.com/index.php?/files/
  17. - Highlights text, hits CTRL+C
    - Opens Protector Calendar
    - Adds new entry for Jan. 1, 2011
    - Pastes text into Description box
    - Clicks Save button




    Now, I can only hope I can be there on that date.

    My track record for the last 2-3 weeks has been dismal. I think I logged on 3 times, and two of those times was only to check sales / move to another Day Job location.

    That's a mere 150 Km more than we'll be driving, you wuss.

    Plus, seeing the sun again will do you good.

    Mentor Project

    I've updated the roster listing (the one visible from the GuildPortal site) with all the current registrations I had pending.

    We're just over 140 registered mentors (no numbers for the unregistered)! If you haven't joined the N P C channel yet, please do so.

    As you may already know, the Mentor Project is a loosely-knit community of like-minded volunteers who want to help new or returning players. This can be done in a general consultation role, or a more personal partnership can be set up.

    In any case, the mentors have free reign as to how involved they want to be, how much time they wish to spend, and how they'd like to do it. The Mentor Project website (for mentors) and N P C global channel are means of communication put at their disposal.

    2011 looms over the horizon and there are more events coming up to cater to new players, but until then...

    Happy New Year everyone!

    I thought JJ was in western Canada somewhere, no?

    I think Korith and Mental might be able to attend the Toronto Fan Expo 2010 (Aug. 26-28), if our unofficial mention of it at the Montreal Comic Con becomes a viable project.
