Wow, good lord man, congrats on a well-deserved accolade.

that story was akin to Heinlein. that was freakin' brilliant. goosebumps, aye, and a tear (ok, ok, several tears) for Daisy.

Very nice, D_R. That was a touching ending, and a hopeful beginning. I can't wait for part deux.

PS. Your soundtrack selection for it was spot on. very complimentary.

I was all set to disagree with you here until i reread it before posting and realized that you meant that there should be a permission [color= yellow]option[/color](preferably below your lowest SG rank) per bin. Makes sense to me, especially for some of the larger SG/VG I've seen that actually have 2+ SGs in coalition to accomodate all their members. The majority of SGs will never use this, but for some, it would be a huge QOL thing.

And to Tony's original suggestion for a WALK function: [color= yellow] yes, please, want nao![/color]

Annoying Powers?

Quills. Hands down, quills. thbt! thbt! thbt! thbt!

You're at WW for cripes sakes, there ARE no mobs here for you to aoe. toggle off, dudes. toggle off!

Any power with an aoe graphics or sound should really be turned off in safe areas like WW/BM, the tailor, trainers, etc. Please think of others, eh?

(Yes, my grav/ff turns off all his big bubbles when i'm not in a mission or travelling in dangerous places. Yes, my spines/regen scrapper turns off her quills whenever she's not fighting. Even between mobs in missions, sometimes! My plant/storm doesn't stand at WW with steamy mist on. Please, for the Love of the Lamb, toggle off ladies, gents, and scoundrels all.)

I had this happen during a Dev's Choice mish (@GadgetDon's Butterfly Effect arc, iirc). Was solo as my kin/electric defender.

I ran into a spot o' trouble and popped out my last shivan and amy johnson. Amy wtfpwned the poor Shivan (still not sure how that happened cos she was healing it every time she hurt it...), then alternated between shooting me and the lizardman Dr. Aeon while i tried desperately to stay outta Dr LizardAeon's melee range. every time i'd get low on hp, though, i'd run back to amy and she'd heal me before zappin' me again. it was weird.

I'd also be in support of adding a small "rumble" effect if you got near them (with the option of disabling it if you wish. i get vertigo easy and don't want it, but it would help.) a small short pulse if you're within 25 yds, i'd say, and incrementally it gets to be a stronger/longer shimmy-shake until you're up on and interacting with it.

I love/hate your cliffhangers, AND I want to throw you over the cliff for writing them / making us wait to find out what happens next. BUT I know that if I throw you over said cliff, then I'll never know what happens next.

So Grrrrrr, Auughrhghh, Waaaangst and stuff.

/totters around in circles while waiting for next chapter until she gets dizzy and plotzes on her patoot.

/impatient for a story update

I love how real you've made the characters. Not everything is wine and roses; they're flawed in a very appreciable way.

((That comes out weird, I'm sorry. I like that they're not all Mary Poppins "Practically Perfect in Every Way" -- it gives them weight and worth))

....crud, my stealth dropped. /relurks

/giggly

Thanks, Foo, VexXxa and Mr. Majesty. *grin*

I'm still trippin' at how nice they came out. I really need to get me my own scanner and a deviant art account one of these years.

Thanks Zapp. So many pics I've seen of peoples' twi'lek chars make them all super-glam sex-kittens (which in the star wars universe, they kinda are, but i dun like that so much), wearing next to nothing (if anything at all) and all that jazz.

I wanted her to be feminine but not hoochie. She's dressed for work, but kinda lost her socks and boots along the way, which suits her fine 'cos she can use her toes to hold her thing-a-ma-bob in place while she does the tricky bits with her hands. It can sometimes be a bumpy ride out in space ^_^ (Especially the way Gokker flies. see other pics, heh!)

Hi folks! My buddy just sent me the scans of our Star Wars tabletop RPG that i drew, and I'm super tickled how they came out.

For my first char (since i just joined the group--have been playing D&D with them for years, but have just joined the SWRPG) I revamped my fave CoH character (and my namesake here)

So Tekka the human inventor / superhero became Tekka, the Twi'lek tech specialist / chief engineer.

I'm all giggly over how they all came out, even the cruddy one of my hubby's human Jedi (I drew that one during our first gaming session, so he forgives me and knows I owe him a better one)

TL;DR: OOOOH PRETTYFUL!

Wait, your other thread complains that the market prices are too high and restrictive.

Now you're asking for something to dump your money into that may or may not have any sort of function/benefit?

....My brain broke trying to think of how to word that accurately, and I still failed....

can't the ccLightning work for tech and (mad) science too?

The hubby and I have been using ccPrestoChango with our natural / ninja characters as a sort of Ninjavanish / smoke bomb stand-in.

I do love the Beam-me-Up suggestion though

((lovin' this so hard, dude. thanks for the frequent updates ))

/emote sleep: you lie down for a nap. ZzzzZZzzzZZz's float above your head.

/emote defeated: you randomly faceplant as though defeated, in either the faceup or facedown pose.

/emote shopping: you hold several shopping bags from Scheherezade and the other stores in the city (Exarch, Subgenetics, Pandora's Box, etc)

/emote shy: you clasp your hands together in front of you and rock/twist anxiously while looking at the ground.

/emote kiss: you blow a kiss to your target.

/emote catchkiss: you snatch at mid-air, smile, and slowly put your hand to your cheek.

/emote airkiss: hollywood / euro-style airkiss greeting (lean forward slightly, turn head, kiss, turn head other direction, kiss) appropriate for pretentious snobs, starlets, and the well-travelled.

/e yoga would now cycle you through basic yoga maneuvers: salutation to the sun, shoulderstand, bridge pose, etc.

/e ChickenDance--(hands make beak-y motions at shoulder height 4x, then you flap your wings 4x, then wiggle/knee-dip down and up, then clap 4x, repeat ad nauseum)

Hedge, not only would "my" brother exist, but he'd be working on his day job of choice--(This is Feihung's analogy, not mine, but i'll roll with it, since I liked it enough to sig it.)-- as to him being a villain...You can pick your nose. You can pick your friends. But you can't pick your family.

....I wonder if i have Sig room to add in what Posi said there first....but then, my sig would be longer than at least half of my posts. They'd hafta whack it with a nerf bat just to balance it out
/cheeky grin

Stretched logic is stretched. Your brother still can't use your vacation time to take time away from HIS job. I believe that was what Feihung was getting at.

If you're keen to argue though, take it up with Positron. He stated in the OP:

"Now if you are simply asking that Merits be a tradable resource, or even trade-within-account, I am sorry, but that's not going to happen. Characters of different levels earn Merits at different rates. Merits are supposed to streamline the reward process for that character, and that's not going to be changing any time soon."

(Bolded where appropriate for effect)

if there are ways to purchase them through Tickets ( which are global) why can't we make the merits do the same? they are earned reward for playing the game afterall right?

[/ QUOTE ]

See sig ^_^

[ QUOTE ]
Ahhhhh...I see.

Kind of like the vacation time I earn at my job is mine and not my brothers. My brother being the equivalent of my mothers second character.

I would consider him to be a villain.

[/ QUOTE ]

QFE.

Feihung, I just may save this and throw this at every whiner i see complaining about merit pools.

very creative energy barrier doors, terra! I like that a LOT.
