    Given the different time zone and all... could it be possible you're trying to log in during server maintenance?

    Wrong account.


    But more seriously, now that my wife has taken away a good chunk of my loot to IO out her troller, andwhat,s left being "mine", I'm back at it getting inf gathered up as prize money for whatever scheme I run next.

    Any investments made towards this is appreciated.

    But... how much influence and IO sets to achieve your fabled awesomeness, you tentacled badgehunting freak?

    I have/had a PB on Victory that I'd delete in an instant if it wasn't that I'm fond of the concept for him. He's just a couple of levels past getting the lobster form right now, and I found it horribly difficult to play him until now. I wanted to go 2-form with him, so skipped the squid.

    I think Kheldians, like other archetypes, appeal specifically to a certain type of player. To truly excel with them you really have to like playing them - and in my case this is proving difficult.

    How about a "Ask Knowmad" thread where we (OK, "I") could plumb the depths of your experience?

    [EXPLETIVE CENSORED] YEAH!

    I hadn't seen you on MSN since our last chat and was wondering how that was going.
  6. Thanks for the encouragement, fellow Protectorites.

    There has been a steady influx of new names in the PV channel since the announcement. Not a flood, more like a trickle, but I expect more will find their way in as time goes by and people find it.

    As Kult said, there is nothing stopping anyone from staying in JS while also popping in PV. In fact, I encourage it for those 18+ who don't want to miss anything and could perhaps even act as a bridge between the channels whenever event info is not readily shared on both channels.

    Feel free to pass the info on to your friends, folks, if you want to share the channel with them.

    Yeah - didn't have much time to warn you between getting back from work and heading out again.

    Sign me up for next week!

    Let's see... either of my scrappers (DM/Regen, or DB/Regen) if I can't get my DB/DA tanker up to 39 by then.
  8. Had Parent-Teacher night for my son tonight, since my wife was indisposed to go.

    Sry I missed it.

    Only speaking from my personal experience here:

    Jello Shooters is a popular "all around" channel for most activities. A good number of Protector players hang out there. The conversations are uncensored and sometimes "adult level".

    Protector Watch is, as far as I know, the first public channel made on Protector for monster sightings, badges and TFs. It is still going strong and is aimed primarily at those tasks.

    Protector Vigilance, on the other hand, could be seen as a hybrid of the 2. It centers around team coordinations like Protector Watch, but also encourages casual banter and socializing. This one is rated "PG13".

    These would be the main 3 that I've seen mentioned more regularly on this server, which are open to the public.

  12. Not a problem at all.

    There's no way anyone could say this is a replacement for Jello Shooters. Nor is it competing with JS.

    JS has been around for ages, and has been a mainstay of Protector. There's no competition.

    This can be seen as an alternative, perhaps, for those who were looking for exactly that.

    I remember that well... and not fondly. I was the 1st OP promoted in PW by the founder, and had to drop it when the drama wars came about a few years ago.

    Let's hope nothing like that ever happens on this server again.

    When Protector Vigilance was created I was invited to OP in it, but sincerely never invested the time / effort it needed to take off since I was more involved in other activities at the time.

    Not so anymore.

  15. Protector Vigilance is re-launching.

    Protector Vigilance's purpose: Server events, team-ups, badges, monsters, etc - and feel free to chat away. It is, as always, a public channel, and open to both hero and villain sides.

    Keep it clean, keep it decent, and respect your fellow players by avoiding inflammatory topics. Consider this channel PG13 and moderated. There are 3 mods at this time: Blazing Blue, Arion Elan, and myself.

    This channel has been around for a while now, but lacking a certain "something" to make it stand out amongst the multitude of global channels out there. We think that there is a desire for a family-friendly channel that can still offers players what they want to complement their gaming time.


    Copy and paste this in your chat/command line to join: /chan_join "Protector Vigilance"

    If you'd like, use one of these to quickly send messages to Protector Vigilance. Replace the "X" key to the key of your choice:
    • /bind X beginchat "/send "Protector Vigilance" " - just the basics
    • /bind X beginchat "/send "Protector Vigilance" ($name) " - with current character name only
    • /bind X beginchat "/send "Protector Vigilance" ($name, $level) " - with current character name, level
    Join in and be a part of of this re-launch!

  17. Hot chocolate... AND Crown Royal!


    heh.


    Maybe not.
  18. Just to clear this up with those who were curious, I will not mention my reasons here.

    Thanks .
  19. Good luck guys!

    Dr. O, son will be using my account, so global is the one you see in my sig - @Stalemate
  20. By an unofficial count, I have given away about 3 billion in influence, not counting recipes / enhancements, on this server since I started playing. It could very well be closer to 5 billion total depending on the market values.

    And all because someone, on the first day I played, gave me some inf to help me get started, saying "pass it forward later on when you can".

    Basically, it helped set in motion a mindset of helping other players whenever possible for me. I would even say it's part of the inspiration for my involvement in the past in Praesidium and its events, the New Player Welcoming Night, and even PERC and the Superolympics committee for cross-server activities.

    I wish I could remember who that was exactly, to thank him or her and let that person know how much of an impact that gesture had as it cascaded through Protector, and then outwards.

    Whoever you are, wherever you are, /e salute.

    Otherwise my son will miss the announcements, since JS is no longer an option.
