I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think this might be the last Creative Genius awards. Now that's GR's going to be relocated to US/leave NC, I think, unless we get a new mod, there will be no more of these...

So, if that is so, it has been a very creative 3 years or so. If anyone wants to make a award for the best Creative Genius post-recent forum wipe, I'd think we'd be happy to participate.

But anyway...gratz to the winners. Good stuff.

Ahem!

In case you don't feel like reading it, Avatea is taking over GR's position from NCNC following his "potential" redundancy.

I know...I read that after I posted that. >_<

Lol...if we could do facepalm on chairs...that would be awesome!

I'd like it espically for SG meetings.

Member 1: OK guys I'm planning to start up a weekly team
Member 2: Oh good! Can I be in it?
Member 1: Yes you can be in it
Member 2: TIS WILL BE SO EXCITING!!
Member 3: OK, OK, calm down
Member 1: I think I'll make it a tanker weekly team
Member 2: OK, can I be a troller?
Member 3: /em facepalm

I personally think it's all to do with the coming storm. Perhaps there's life on the moon coming to Earth, to destroy us? But if they do a sort of 'invasion' thing it will only be flogging a dead horse. It's gotta be different from that.

Welcome to my world, Sin. I've had that [censored] for about a year now, with STILL no bloody fix in sight for it.

I now copy ALL posts into my clipboard before trying to post it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Welcome to my world, too. Sometimes I'm lucky and the text appears, but sometimes it never comes back.

This has been affecting me for months now and others (eg FFM) for a year or longer. Are we going to get this fixed or am I just gonna smash my computer?

EDIT: Woo, the form I submitted is not valid!

Move to Creative section! ,)

[/ QUOTE ]

Why? You note Feline the larvae?

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, stop being so p.ussy (stupid censor). You know he is feline fine, and a move to the creative section would make him say "10, I am lower than you." and reply with "Canine". Such a thing would make this thread suddenly paws and stop.

If this is not included, /em facepalm!

See ya.

Devs even hate devs. Positron recently blew up Castle's house. True story.

[/ QUOTE ]

But it wasn't the first time Positron tried it, so Catsle survived, as the explosion was affected by diminishing returns.

^ Very bad joke above.

As for me on MA...

Yeah, I like the idea of it. But I am certainly going to be trying out the competition as it comes along. I'm keeping my options open.

I know that some when CO/DCUO comes they will be packing their bags and starting from scratch all over again. I don't really want that to happen but hey it's natural in a MMO - in fact, in the case of Ultima Online, any MMO coming out was trouble for it. Why? It was the first MMO, always has been, always will be. But there are still some people left, a little community, on that game.

I think the same will happen with CoX. A lot will leave but we will still have a small community who just enjoy playing the game and don't even consider trying out competition, let alone buying it.

As far as CoX's future is concerned, it wasn't the choice I would've picked, as it will only please those intrested in making story arcs and missions. Still, I guess it will be a popular feature to attract people. Will it survive the waves of competition? Only time will tell.

WARNING: I'm not going to spoiler this out with the big white font color of doom so if you don't want to have a story spoilt look away now!!

OK so I know Numina (Tammy Arcanus) and her father (Tommy Arcanus) were both members of the Midnight Squad. Question is how did they get into the Midnight Squad? Or is this completly unknown? I'm just a bit curious

Yes, of course Salacious would know - he is number 25 in that list

EU is laggy enough, thanks.

I agree with the others. I always seem to want that next power, but I have to go x levels to get it, so that pushes me to get to that level.

And even another slot or two or 3 can make a difference to a power. The slots are there for a reason.

It was a joke, lol.

Statesman walks into a bar. He sees Synapse drinking beer. Statesman asks Synapse "What are you doing?" and Synapse replies "I...ish...Sinapse...greatesht...hewo...eva... ".

Statesman realises he's drunk. Statesman shouts "Oh you didn't! You know that destroys the Freedom Phalanx's public reputation!"

Statesman calls a police officer over and the officer takes out the breathlyzer. It reads 0.0. Statesman says "How can this be!?"

Synapse takes off his mask to reveal a normal male citizen and says "Tonight, Mr. Statesman, I'm the designated decoy."

------------------------------------------------------------

A man called Marcus is at a party. He says to a drunk man "Hey, I can fly, look" and jumps off the tall building where the party is held and flies. He comes back into the building and the drunk is astounded. Marcus says "You try it.", the drunk man jumps, falls off the building, and dies.

A woman then shouts "Statesman! You wouldn't!"

------------------------------------------------------------

Two men called Mark and Spencer walk across the street. Where do they go?

Marks and Spencers.

Words of inspiration?

"Just run in at them!" - Increased Damage, Decreased Perception

"Use your healingz!" - Increased Health

"NOVA!!" - Adds a new power called "Gotta Nova 'Em All" - Extreme Damage PBAoE, lasts in power tray for 10 seconds

But maybe have a 10% chance you get this...

"Go AFK in the middle of the mob!" - You die

well what did you choose?

Personally, he must have chose 'The Regenerating Manus'. Who wouldn't like a character called 'The Regenerating Manus'!?

Leave us alone you yanks.
In this scenario, we moderate our own forum and play on the same 4 servers without a lot of support from the US. Until they decide to pull the plug. Yes

With a little help from our friends.
Here we get a forum merge with the US but keep our 4 servers. Yes

Time to move.
We merge completely with the US. They make place in their server racks and we and the americans get a lot more servers to play with. Plus we can start nagging them on the merged servers. Yes

A new apartment.
Bye bye forum bye bye trusty servers. They make space for us on the lesser populated US servers and we try to pick up where we left. Yes

Fresh Start.
2 months of free gametime on one of the US servers of your choic and everything else gets deleted. No

Destination Unknown.
Time to move on bye bye NCSoft. I heard good things about Champions or DC or War or WoW. If none of the 'Yes' solutions above are used...yes


[/ QUOTE ]

Yes = I will continue playing the game if this happens
No = I will not continue playing the game if this happens

So I guess that's what I think.

The solution I really want is for nothing to happen and the game just continue normally as it is, similar to the "Leave us alone you yanks" solution. But I don't think that's good for NC's profit, as a whole.

That's all we needed to hear, GR; I hope that this all settles soon and we can look at what's going to happen to CoX in Europe.

Soothe Pincer
Barb Wire
Crook Reconcile
Boy/Girl/Man/Woman Fang
The Regenerating Manus
Mendable Ungula

Yes, I used a thesaurus. Go me.

And some others off the top of my head...

Bob/Mary McClaw
Captain Claw
Rhigenmaiclaw (say that out slowly)
Darth Claw
Project CLAW

Well he is the big daddy - when we break the rules, he punishes us, like a parent And we are all the little children just growing up under his care...and he is gone now...that means we are orphans

[/ QUOTE ]

You might like referring to strangers on the internet as Big Daddy but leave me out of it please. I've heard there are plenty of sites out there where men would be happy for you to refer to them as big daddy if that's what you really want to do.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, come on, it was only a "silly internet joke in the middle of the thread" thing. I don't know if you're serious or you know it's a joke, but either way, meh...

And best luck to GR, wherever he may go.

GR's job no longer exists in Brighton.

[/ QUOTE ]

NO!!!

It is like my...child has been taken away from me! A precious, precious child that I held on so dearly! IT WAS GR!

OK...overreacting there...but this is really sad. I hate to see GR go...the Germans lost their big daddy...the French did too...and now us...it looks like a sad day for CoX EU.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's one of the creepiest things I think I've ever read.

Not only did GR lose his job but he's got virtual stalkers who refer to him as "Big Daddy"

If GR is indeed gone, I see it inevitable that at the very least, the forums will be merged. It'd just be too much work to maintain 2 separate forums.

Well, let's pack our bags then, my friends. We're going to the United States of America...

Would it be a good idea for someone with a US account to ask a red-name on the US boards what's going on? There's nothing about it on the board over there at all.. I'm beginning to wonder if the US community know what's going on :/

[/ QUOTE ]

They know, they just don't particularly seem to give a monkeys about it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, one member seemed to like GR and hope he wasn't cut, and another wanted GG...

[ QUOTE ]

Has there actually been any official statement that these job losses are happening?

I can't be bothered to keep up, but the last I checked, NCSoft/West/Whatever hadn't said they were kicking people out, there were just a load (one) of 'industry' blog posts saying they were.

There won't be any official statement of justification until they've had an official statement of action.



[/ QUOTE ]

We simply don't know. GR has not said a word of it, neither the US rednames, so we just don't know at the moment.
