    This.

    And I'm confused... are we not allowed to post birthday stuff here anymore? I didn't see any complaint on the other recent threads for birthdays.
  2. In addition to what was said above, about being in the right zone/right time, global channels, and missing chat due to the nature of the trial... A lot of the action that happens on Champion is within Supergroups. When I get on one of my toons it is usually pretty easy to find a team with my SG, and I've noticed fewer pug invites than when I'm on Pinnacle, Protector, or Virtue.

    It never hurts to have toons on more than one server- lots of people do it for many different reasons. If you are looking for lots of people on at any one time, and can't join an SG, etc.- I'd go to Virtue, Freedom, Infinity, or Justice, but don't give up on Champion completely.
  3. Another fine example of why my residence hall is evil. Yea fire alarms! At least we know there are plenty of emergency vehicles that show up quickly. The odd thing this time was that it wasn't caused by a power outage; the sensor above the pool table went off (and no one was in the lounge at the time it happened.)

    And now it looks like I won't be going home for Thanksgiving this year, so I'll probably be around on Saturday 11-28 to play after all.

    Unfortunately, I am in ND and all my cookbooks are in MN (don't need them in a res hall). The most I could do would be to find something online that was close, but not exact to what I actually use. If still looking at Thanksgiving time, I'll post something when I'm home though.

I know its 30 mins later, but, just in case COH decides to be.. well.. COH, the extra 30 mins will be a good thing.


    thanks, loves, for understanding.

    Thankfully there is a nice convenient holiday for me tomorrow, lol.

    I'm uh...acquiring their latest album, anyone know if its any good? Apparently in Switzerland its been outselling This Is It by a bunch, which is pretty funny.
    I've always liked their cover of the Depeche Mode song Stripped.

    Ditto; whenever I see a team forming they never seem to want my badge toon because it's a blaster, so haven't gotten to run the non-masters yet even.

    We just finally worked out our schedule issue with the static though; my Dom needs love and ice cream.
  8. I have an eclectic music collection- everything from the Fronda I posted above to Blue Oyster Cult on my ipod.

    I'd say lately this was what I've listened to but lately has lasted more than ten years in some cases:

    No Time to Cry- Sisters of Mercy

    Honey, Honey - Feist

    In the Flat Field- Bauhaus

    In this Hole- Cat Power

    Golden Years- David Bowie

    Blue- Angie Hart

    The Turnabout Road- Diane Cluck
  9. For my main, Witch Hrist, the song is Doomsday from the Dr.Who soundtrack. For the toon that I've almost got to 50, Amdis, the song is Hit Me by The Sounds.

    I won't list them all- I have too many toons.

    Oh well, I'm not a farmer... so that would take me about a year to earn. I'm not quite that curious I guess.
  12. Sounds like fun... I know I have a blaster that needs Posi (and no classes on Wednesday this week!)

    And you aren't going to tell the rest of us dying of curiosity?
  14. Did we say Synapse next week? I've already forgotten, ugh getting old isn't fun.
  15. For some reason I didn't think of it either- but then am already in the channel so probably took it for granted that everyone else would be too.

    I've seen actual hate speech used as well. Interesting fact, freedom of speech doesn't exactly cover hate speech as much as people seem to think. It's considered "unprotected" speech and can legitimately be banned. I've reported people for homophobic remarks made in broadcast. Even if they are 12 yrs old there is no excuse for it, ever.
  18. I should actually be on time tonight- 9CST right? I might need to get new enh, but will be online anyway. Anyone know how to set up a coffee i.v. line?

    Does it have to be a cookie that is actually baked? One of my favorites is a no-bake cookie that is so good the language village counselors used to try sneaking them out of the cooler.

    That is something that annoys me. There are a lot of common words that would be great for a superhero concept and then down the road you find out that there is some super obscure little hero/villain that showed up in one panel of one comic book and so it can't be used. Or, I've seen people complain about this on other forums- you create a toon and then a year (etc.) later there is a character that is created in a book/movie that has the same name and you get gen'd even though you were using the name first. Doesn't seem fair.

    Policing

    I've never had a toon gen'd (yet) but my toon names tend to be obscure references to personal stuff, or harmless real names and jokes. Few people understand me because my brain is broken, so I'm mostly safe.

    I can admit that I have reported people who have created obvious rip-off toons based on Marvel and DC comics. Pervy names that offend me personally I try to ignore instead of report- everyone has a different sense of humor. (Though if I saw one named after a known war criminal I might report that, too.)
  22. Aren't the previews implying that it ends up being one of the family that pushes the button that is selected as the person to die? Maybe I'm reading too much into the tiny clips they show. Interesting concept, but I think I've read about a dozen science fiction stories that seem to be based on the same general theme.
  23. People who feel the need to inform everyone about every milestone they achieve with their toons with the expectation that everyone should praise them. Repeatedly, for years.
