    I don't agree with the choice of winner but I congratulate him.

    Excellent idea for a costume contest.

    Great advice...for those people that live in a universe where a DM narrates their life...

    I haven't been in any actual 'meaningful' RP because RP outside of 'for its own sake' is meaningless..

    Statesman


    Positron


    Synapse
    The shoulder pads for States seem a bit over the top other than that an amazing conceptual piece..Positron is just...Wow.

    If you don't win for Positron I'll be ignoring this thread.

    Best. Positron. Ever.

    I have to say that the population is bewilderingly large in contrast to our EU servers, but that's a great thing. I also like the sheer volume of RPers. But what's ERP? Erotic? I'm guessing MRP is Mature.

    Judging by your avatar you'll fit right in... d;D

    actually, just make AE give regular drops.







    also, merge the eff'n markets already.

    I'd just give missions and AE similar rewards. Give regular missions something similar to ticket rewards (or change the merit system so it is somewhat similar to the ticket system) so that players can outfit their toons with the generic IOs SOs they want and need. AEs reward system is MUCH better then the system we have for regular missions.

    Stop nerfing **** Devs and start rewarding players for good behavior.

    Yes, but merging the markets wouldn't work thematicly!

    Even though you could just as easily merge markets and use the excuse that the Black Market and Wentworth's were always the same market. Wentworth simply denies any connection it has with the Rogue isles black market.

    hell, the devs could create some pretty cool missions based off this premise.

    c'mon devs...

    Seems to me Heroid isn't making a real world monetary exchange for in-game items/currency.

    P.s. My hat looks so much cooler now. d;D

    I don't larp nor do I make corsets for period garments. However I am confident the quality of my garments and corsetry is far superior. It's a dying art despite what niche circles you know that "try" to emulate.

    The cultural references made me wince. The Goths I know would probably go on a killing spree if they were linked with the majority of that. Of course, in the UK, we have something of a different view of Goth and Punk cultures.
    I'd laugh at your friends for not being able to laugh at a stereotype that's funny.

    She does look a bit like a vamp or flapper. 1914-1920s happen to be my favorite years to draw inspiration for fashion from as it transitions from these times to film noire which...I absolutely love.

    I was actively involved in the Gothic/deathrock/punk/fetish subculture for a long time. Hell, I even call myself a kinkster.

    It has never stopped me from making fun of either subcultures. I laugh my *** off at southparks goth-isode because I've met people that fit those exact stereotypes.

    "All non-conformists drink coffee"

    Call me strange. I can laugh at my own absurdity. d;D

    No, actually, I find the lolita style deeply unsettling considering it's a fetish inspired by a novelization of pedophilia.

    However my interest used to be in the area of fashion. I didn't find it chal;lenging so I moved on to the conputer sciences. I still lmake DIY corsets and the like. It's a dying art. I;d like to keep it alive.

    Poison is one of my favorite powersets. I'd love to see it get some attention in the next round of proliferation.
    Casting time, recharge time, base debuff percentiles....etc. d;D

    Are you looking for a Gothic Lolita type look? Similar to this?:



    What gives the dress the "poofy" look is either layers, netting or wiring. A crinoline was often used beneath old fashioned bell skirts to accentuate the fulness of the skirt; think poodle skirts and tutus.

    Remember, it's this Saturday at 8-11pm EST at the Galaxy City Arena, Emerald Section.
    *dismayed sigh* of course it would be an only blueside event.

    Basically CO will allow the Assault/Defense/Buff+Debuff Epic set I want for an AT here.

    Other than that, I prefere CoX's game play, animation/art style, and basically CoX in general over CO.

    Hell, for all the talk of CO having better costume creater, I found CO limited you just as much as CoX on costume items! "What do you mean I can't use these gloves with this costume option?! It doesn't make sense! I thought it was suppossed to be better!" was my CO experience. :P
    CO cell-shading gave me massive migraines.

    The playability felt very choppy for me and I was reminded of my experiences with WoW. Did not like.
