*munches gourmet popcorn* You want 'im back? You sound like you miss 'im.

Terrific screenshots! Did you see Cole at all?

...the hell?

And yeah, we took the dropships down around Issue 10, just cuz. They've been buffed, but with Incarnate goodies, we might have to try this again.

My favorite video of them is STILL when one of the dropships, during I13 beta, hadn't been mapped to adjust for the AE buildings and ploughed through AE, exploding beautifully... I wish it would still do that...

Best. Definition of Freedom. EVER.

Props to Luna for setting up AND keeping her hand on the tiller for the league work, invites and all! You keep things sane for morons like me. XD

A bonus: Here's the chatlog from the Admin broadcasts. I posted this elsewhere to share, but this one's all for you, heroes. It's from the start of the event, right until the end of the invasion, but before the admin chat of hopping around all 15+ Pocket D's. Enjoy.

(I omitted our "colorful" broadcast replies, for fear of breaking quite a few forum rules...)

Marry me, Arcanaville.

Our pleasure, MD, come and visit anytime.

Freedom haters, baited. Have at 'em, gang.

*takes popcorn bowl, dashes it with a light spray of black truffle oil and a hint of cayenne pepper, then passes it back for her enjoyment*

Thank you for the fix, Clave. If you want a place to park, let me know and I'll hook you (or anyone else) up for the evening.

I'll team with you for the non-Master run if someone needs the badge. I'm in it for the fun.

Yep. Custom toon with illusion powerset and you'll get all those marks.

It was a long night for me. ;( *pouts*

That's the real piece of advice. Get out of AP. Most natives zone into AP and dive right into the sewers, don't come back out 'til lvl 8 with a solid sewer team run.

Obvious troll is, in fact, obvious.

See, that's the problem: Perception. You see it as blowing off steam. We see it as someone using the forum as their soapbox declaiming "Why I'm Awesome: An Awesome Essay Of Why I'm Awesome And Others Are Not".

In-game, maybe. Not here. Here, thanks to your post, you just come across as a petulant narcissist with megalomaniacal tendencies. Hiding behind your "rep" just makes it worse. Never assume people know how awesome you are, and you'll never make an a-word out of yourself doing it.

I don't disagree with this, although I've been lucky enough to be on regular teams where idiocy like this is, thankfully, rare.

Anyway, my original response still stands. Leave your drama off our boards. Add to the community, don't detract. Someone ticks you off, you resolve it with them, not through a public venue that probably won't get to your intended target(s).

Don't take it personally. But DO take it as meaningful advice.

Welcome back. And yeah, the Incarnate system hits the right notes for me. Hope you enjoy the new "endgame" journey!

Virtue is ---------->™ thataway.

Not on Freedom, no. Drama like this just paints you as an off-server player, honestly.

Your post is pretty much meant for players who don't read the forums, by and large. And, if you can't tell, it's as much use as throwing a hand grenade into a poop pile in order to kill the smell.

If you want to do something more constructive, make up a series of /macros citing your needs for everyone who're joining your team. That way, people can decide then and there if you're the paragon of wisdom or a Mussolini with the team star.

I'm being nice with this one. Leave the drama off our boards, and focus on playing the game. You got complaints, then resolve it in the game. Unless it's about me, Luna, J-Man, Trix, E-Man, or one of a dozen other forum loudmouths (and I use this definition affectionately), your complaints won't reach your intended targets by posting here.
