Leahy's repeated claims that sites like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook* wouldn't be affected by the legislation have already been thoroughly rebutted by legal scholars Lawrence Tribe and Marvin Ammori. Sounds like Leahy needs to hear from the public again.

* And, it should be stressed, the City of Heroes forums.

Not to mention all the political standees, and news networks who have uttered such a phrase from time to time. All this just for you, love.

Nice cover up for sure. Though it doesn't help your cause any, but then again I understand why being wrong on the internet may hinder your e-cred or e-rep. I'm sorry for pointing out those flaws, and to make up for it here's a picture to help calm your e-rage.

"Turning to Superhero news here on Paragon Channel 5 News, the heroine Flambeaux was found dead in her apartment earlier today. While evidence suggests that it was a genetic heart defect, 500,000 heroes have come forward as claiming they are to blame in her death. Investigations are ongoing."

Nope. We have to be good little boys and girls and save the universe. Oh goody.



I understand it just fine and I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk down to me as if you've somehow earned an award for being a better human being than I am. Capische? Capische.

Up until SSA5, the player's villain was the one making headlines and busting skulls. Wade and Malaise were working alongside you, twisting their fingers into their own threads, but you were the guy/girl making the big moves and making it all happen.

In SSA5 you show up to Wade's little mid-storm get together and watch him kill States. That's it! No lead-up, no surprise, you just walk up and watch him die.

Next thing you know Wade's monologuing and you have to fight him. FOR THE GREATER GOOD.

Seriously?

For four arcs, villains get to be actual villains instead of someone's errand boy/a greater villain's lackey/the fall guy. Now it looks like we're being corn holed into "the greater good" AGAIN.

I'm getting really sick of this pseudo-evil garbage the storywriters keep jamming down the throats of myself and my villains. We only get to see the fruits of our labor in the success of other villains. It even happened with Wade! Villains spend all this time with Wade while he says "Just do this thing for me and you'll get some seriously awesome power later" and, once again, the contact turns it around on us.

Now, we'll be "at the vanguard" of stopping Wade. Great! My villains always wanted to play the hero! Wait, no. They don't. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE VILLAINS.

Where have we seen this before?

-Heroes fight the Rikti to save the world. Villains can aid the heroes for the greater good.
-Heroes fight the Fifth Column and the Cimeroran Traitors to stop their meddling with power and save the world. Villains can aid the heroes for the greater good.
-Heroes can stop Snaptooth/Lady Winter from keeping the world in eternal frost and frozen time and save the world. Villains can aid the heroes for the greater good.
-Heroes can fight Praetoria to stop their invasion of Primal Earth and save the world. Villains... can... aid the heroes... for the greater.... ugh.

Is anyone else getting tired of being labeled a hero at the last minute? Some REAL villainy would be nice. Killing Alexis Cole-Duncan? Hell yes. Roughing up Johnny Sonata so he'll record a song capable of trashing Sister Psyche's brain? Alright then! Firing a warhead at Paragon to get the attention of big-name heroes just so they'll look the other way? DAMN RIGHT!

.... having to fight Darrin Wade so he won't destroy the universe because "it's the right thing to do"? What crap.

And he certainly doesn't want Wade to actually succeed in his end goal. In fact, none of the worlds big human/formerly human villians would want Wade to succeed as it would really screw up their own plans.

I always assumed the fact that you single handedly save Statesman at least twice was proof that WE are the true heroes. The ones who truly stepped up to save the city/world when it came crashing down around the signature heroes.
