  2. It was widely speculated that they would not allow activated accounts without GR to switch alignments to avoid Monday afternoon complaints that they cannot switch back.

    It would seem those speculations were accurate based upon your experience.

    So far, a good portion sounds like a water cooler discussion born from a few facts. I'm not seeing a problem with positing possibilities under that scenario.

    As long as no one jumps on people with differing views.

    Also, i think the forums can do with a lot less references to people with subpar "reasoning skills" don't you think?
    I think the world could do with a lot fewer people with subpar reasoning skills. YMMV but with elections in a few weeks it's just painful to hear them on the news and in political ads.
  4. This was one of the several ways I got my early millions but now it's too small potatoes for me to bother with.

    Those who are proactive do this and save the tickets for a rainy day.
  6. If I hadn't been without internet last night I would have been there so assume I was there in spirit.
  7. After reading the sad news of the layoffs last night I had to head home to no internet so now I just want to post my best wishes for speedy re-employment to all those affected and a sad farewell to Mr. Bruce and the others.

    So long and thanks for all the fun.

    Good luck, Chris. You rocked while you were here.

    That's a good one. I would also laugh hard if an officer said, "If you pay that much in taxes then this ticket won't be that big of a deal."

    Is this WAI?

    Yes.

    Halloween salvage was the only way to get to 5 for non VEATs before GR but it never had any special ties to a particular slot.
  11. There's no rules at all against having multiple accounts. I have 3. The rules against misbehaving apply regardless of how many accounts people have.

    I used to have all 3 go to the same email address but for a while none of them would get updates so I changed them to the same email address. They have always pointed to the same name, physical address and credit card.

    I wish you guys would stop encouraging people who want to ***** to come to "our" well functioning servers.

    They just login to broadcast their dissatisfaction about not being able to play on "their" server.

    i.e. you posted a new thread when there were already threads on topic. At least that's how I interpreted it, and how it's been used in the past. I didn't call you a snowflake so not sure why the person who did said it. But I'll bet this is what he/she meant.
    I'm not a special snowflake. I am the special snowflake. It's true.

    I know I've seen 6 so far and that's only in 2 forums. Maybe it's a Hamidon plot?
  15. You're starting to get a little pudgy from all this consumption, Lemur.

  18. I always enjoy trick or treating.

    I am slightly sad that it is slated to end so soon because I do enjoy it but I understand most normal people get bored with it.

    Rather see a heroic equivalent (with arcs/badges - I'm more interested in the arcs, really) introduced.
    This times a billion

    I would love to have hero patrons.

    Speaking of solo. Since i18 came out, I noticed a drop in TFs/SFs being run. I'm wondering if people soloing tips missions has something to do with this. 10 tips missions + 1 morality mission = 1 a-merit = 5 random rare rolls = 100 merits.
    It could be that but it is also highly likely a lot of people are in Praetoria where there aren't any TFs for them to run.
  21. That map is pretty funny.

    And sad (when I think of the Facebook games).

    I like the word arbitrary. It makes me happy.
    I don't like it when it is used in front of "decision".

    He didn't say that. He said, rightly so, that those people are idiots.

    Unless you have been in their meetings you can not tell if this was arbitrary or not. They could very well have sided with people who like teaming and reasoned that there are ways around their caps, but they want to encourage teaming. In that case, it is not arbitrary, it's just a decision you did not agree with.
    Arbitrary does not mean random though an arbitrary value can be arrived at through a random means. In this case arbitrary simply means there is no reason you need those people to accomplish the tasks set forth in those task forces so the numbers were arbitrarily selected. They were obviously deliberately chosen but that does not make them any less arbitrary.

    What?! I still make a little money.
    If they were transferrable I'd sell them on the market in a heartbeat.
