How harsh is that, i want to win a toyota 09 model

What is a Machinima anyway?

Is anyone joining and what sort of ideas do peeps have for their vid? For those of us in the EU this thread is a chance for us to moan at our american counterparts

Timothy Skippton knew he had to share his discovery with Kata as soon as possible, when he had first met her she gave an ore of knowing about her and he knew that she would be able to tell him what to do next. Problem was he wasn’t sure where she had gone, last time they met she was making some enquiries in Galaxy City, he made his way to there previous meeting point and stood hand on hip rubbing his temple ‘where would I go if I were making enquiries into the Freaks?’ he thuoght.

BANG!........ Time-Skip shuddered from the shock of a near by explosion slightly ducking out of instinct, however Timothy was experienced in warfare and soon began studying his surroundings to try and find answers. Citizens were going by their day to day business but now all but those who were shivering in fear were looking into the sky, soon Timothy realised why, above a near by building plooms of smoke were rising into the sky like the darkness of hell reaching up to grab light itself. Slowly but surely Tim made his way towards the smoke keeping low to the ground so as not to be discovered, it was coming from Galaxy Bank there was a gaping hole where once a great clock hung presented to Galaxy City by Atlas himself after The Great War. As he focused on the entrance of the bank a number of Freaks were looking this way and that down the street with bags of fresh cash in each hand. “Where to now boss?”…. From behind the closest freak a great shadow revealed itself holding on to the edge of the doors so as not to hit its head as it made its way through the double doors now hanging on there hinges, as the light hit this creature it became obvious it was a Freak Boss, no wait! thought Tim it looks different. Where the chain mail normally would sit there was another material that Tim had not seen before, it seemed firm and as dark as the waters of Independence Port, on top of that this new Freak was bigger and his senses seemed more in tune to his immediate surroundings, he looked firm and athletic not bulky and clumsy like the Freak’s Tim had faced before.

“Psssst, hey Time-Skip” came a whisper from behind, Tim swivelled and turned 180 ready to pounce on this mysterious figure looming behind him. “I’m friend, my names Max Heat, I’ve been following you…..”. Max had explained that he had been making his way to Steel University when he had seen the explosion and that he had seen Time-Skip near the fallen building not that earlier today. Tim pointed over the dumpster to the Bank, Max slowly peered over the bin to look at this new nemesis of justice “Were going to need help, I think there’s another 15 or so Freaks in the Bank with more on the way”. Time-Skip stared into mid-air his back against a building not knowing what to do, Should he try and take out the boss and hope for the best? Can this new hero Max ‘whatever’ help him out? Why aren’t there any other heroes around? If only he could get a message to Kata or anyone!?.....

When the Freak was out of view Max relaxed, he had been watching events unfold from a near by alley across the road from the fallen building. If only he could of jumped out when Time-Skip faded from view he could of tracked the drag marks of Timothy’s ripped vortex. They’re was no time for regrets, he knew he had to make his way to Steel Canyon and seek guidance from his contact at the university Prof Gilbert Chapman.

When the professor had approached Max one day he was reluctant to get involved, his story was so staggered and rough. Gilbert had told him that he was helping the PPD with some enquiries into a strange substance and that he couldn’t explain its composition, but he had received an anonymous call from a ‘WR’ who told him that she had come across some plans for a genetically modified armour made of kevlon wraps and that according to the specs could fit a fully fledged Freak Lieutenant and that the oil from the joints of the armour had a similar composition to the liquid he had been studying earlier, this contact had also told him to ring the Backalley Brawler so that he could give details to Max and send him out to look into these strange plans.

The sun was now setting over the rubble that was once the centre for hero orphans, the sign now fully lit by the low sun “Cape Toddlers inc”, Max looked back over his shoulder at the sign in despair remembering his youth stuck in another orphanage. As rain clouds came in from the east Max sped into the distance not knowing what will happen tomorrow, nervous about what was unfolding and how these new enemies will be tougher than he ever imagined……..

Just kidding, I did actually find it very funny. Lass would do her best to herd up a mob, the slow powers would hit them a little too early and then they would run at about 1 mph towards Lass' herd spot. Lass would then run around like a loon trying to get them all together. Funny stuff!

[/ QUOTE ]

Lol, I know Lass would be running round the room follwed by a slow mob, In our (Storn Summoners) defence we didn't know how many he was tying up, on many occasions we would use snow storm when he passed the first mob and he would keep going "Run Forest Run" (you had to be there)

We had a good team last night, i was running a bit late but managed to fit in with Pole Star and Ms Styx etc (thanx again for that guys).

I jumped in on the 4th mish for Agent G (i think) we managed to get the whole lot done with just me doing o2 boost and our one tank (sorry can't remember his name, it was Bas.... something or other) herding them into a small cone for us to snow storm the whole lot.

I ended the night straight after the PsychoChrono arc at about 09.45 GMT at level 22, awesome night all together

I didn't make last week but i'm pumped about tonight, my chars lvl 19.

Can we get an update of peoples levels? Can anyone volunteer to make a note of these at the beginning of the night?

Tonights weather, southerley wind followed by severe snow and hail storms, expect frostbite if not properly equiped

Probably starting about 9am

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats an early start! I'll still be asleep (prob half pi*sed an all ). Whats your global tell and i'll give you a shout when i get on?

Fire/SStr 30's

Very fun and easy to lvl, prob my most active char at the mo

My first char was a blaster Energy/Fire L28 when i deleted him becuase i was fed up. However now i have a L30 Fire/Fire and thats fun. I think if you want to have real fun with a blaster to get stamina pool set and go all out

Yea i'm up for that, wheres the RMZ and what sort of time will you start? I'll prob bring Max Heat

Awesome night last night guys.

My highlight was when i arrived late to get into a team (19.30 GMT) at Faultline Trainer and stood around for a bit no cape in sight. Then everyone turned up to redo teams, it was cool to see everyone.

I managed to get my char to lvl 16.5 so i would like to see some more safeguard missions next week please

Hey Guys, Lanzarote was good, a bit burnt though

I've read through what i missed and will get my char up to about 16 before next weeks meet.

Good to see everyones having a good laugh, i'm already fidgeting!

Radio mish's next week then, meeting Faultine

I agree with blinds, kind of!

If your like me and aren't in an sg or a even a team that meets once or twice a week and you find yourself running around doing pointless errands, its good to have a blind invite.

Mind you having more than one from the same person after you've told them your not interested is very inconsiderate, i've met a few global friends with blind invites and i still do meet loads of new people.

I don't personally invite people without making them aware, i like to try and ask, but sometimes if i'm trying to fill spaces I may send one or two if they are looking. I agree with Sweetchilli when he/she said that if your not looking click on the option for not looking, that seems pretty obvious to me

My winter character is a plant/storm troller name WinteRose

Oh and thanx for the 'gz'es

Oh sorry for the confusion, i'm up for a tf this weekend thats all, Max is at lvl 30 at the mo and Flamin is 21. If i can get Max on Sara Moore's tf, i've never done that one

Yea i've got a low lvl plant/storm at the mo, i'm lovin using gail when your plant moves are recharging. You just stand there and entangle and strangle then when they come out gail and repeat...... awesome.

Can't wait to lvl it higher to make some serious damage

Wat lvl do you think you guys will get too on the first day so when we meet up on the 09/06 i can have the same

[/ QUOTE ]

Could be anywhere between 6 and 12, depending on how things go.

Your best bet would be to check this thread after the first evening, and see what the average level people are reporting is, then you've got a week to catch up and be in the right region.
