We are interested in your idea, dear Hatesman. Althougth we cannot full back your cause, nor do we consider our organisation villianous, we do have the need to eliminate some of paragons finest for meddling in our affairs, and what better chance of extracting unique genetic samples for our research then to aid a group of individuals who constantly come into conflict with the worlds most unique beings...

As such we present to you are TRACOR-005 unit on loan. He will surely make a grand addition to your "army of meta-beings"


((TRACOR is willing ot join))

your problem is Corruptors, not Dominators

Okay, UN, I have problems with Corrupters, not Dominators.

I did not write the post you quoted, I assumed you were responding to Cybercel and had mistaken me as the one who wrote the post you quoted.

If you look at it, it does read like you are answer me for this quote not the question in my OP

What you talkin bout ravey? I never said that? Cybercel did

Your eye sight failing you in your advance years too?

As someone who has played a dom in PvP, you best defense is either a quick kill or to simply tough it out until Domination wears off and they run out of end.

Hit em hard and fast as soon as you see em, thats my way of dealing with them, get in one of oyur own holds if you got it and they are easy pickings... if not them break frees

Just don't tell me that it's "Community Wide"! Which, by the way, you did.

[/ QUOTE ]

It is community wide :P That doesn't mean the whole commmunity has to take part, it means they can take part :P

For instance, if my street runs a community bake sale, it doesn't mean I have to part take. It means I can part take. Your misunderstanding the term. Same as in RL they make a country wide project, doesn't mean you have to do it, but you can no matter where in the country you are.

Normally you just, wha,t RP with your friends? So only your friends can part take, or your SG, or your Click, or whatever. This one anyone in the whole of union, be it friend, enemy, part-timer, full imersion, IC mission only, stranger new comer, olg guard, however can take part if they wish .

Thats all Community Wide means
Sheesh!

Raven, take a chill pill homie. Deep breathes man.

You had the chance to let this quietly blow over, but you had to restart it in a way which means that your 'changes' cannot help but go through since no one could really object IC. You have changed the nature of IC reality for every charactr in Paragon City without any support for it in-game, and without asking first. That's no way to behave in an Open RP environment

[/ QUOTE ]

How, this won't effect me in the slightest. I wise proverb I present to you dear Ravenswing. Just because something is true, doesn't mean I need to believe it!

We don't even no how this is gonna blow over! They could decide, that the government doesn't wanna go throught with this, or a villian can come along and ruin everything, they could decide to take <insert your name here> idea and just right the names on the war walls we already have, they could decide just to have the holiday... etc...

Secondly, you are reading a bit too much into this Raven, people believe, think and do different thing all the time in real life. Some think Tony Blair is a good PM, some don't some are indifferent, some think its all a conspiricy, other are just crazy and don't even no whats goin on.

I think this plot will blow over anyways, some people might still talk about the reprocussions, I know I won't. White Vampyr might say, oh hey remember that petition, a shame it didn't go throught huh? Oh did you she my new outfit!"


None of my alts are involved in this, and again I'm in the freckin SG running it! The most it will bother me is when they talk about it, other than that, nothing is gonna change (unless the devs go aaaa what a nice idea!")I'm still gonna be the guy that bust their chops, or the psycho with the Mu mystic in my head. Even if they do make this garden, its easy to get rid of, how long do you think that garden would last in a city full of uber villians?

I have read this, and I too have a fire/fire tank, a few thigns I would like to ask!

1) Would I really need stamina, if I'm goin for an inventions set build with, consume,conserve power and the set bonus of 40%ish recovery? Also at the moment I notice I don't drain nearly as much end as my invulnerable set, is it that neccessary?

2)How good arefire swords, I was thinking of not getting them till I had both Fire sword and fire sword circle cuz of the redraw, but it there not that much better than combustion and breath of fire then maybe not. Bare in mind I'm taking fiery embrace and build up.

In response to my post on the suggestions thread for stalkers, I was wondering, what troubles you the most?

So name your AT, and which AT(s) provide you with the most trouble. And just to make it interesting feel free to add what type of build you have(PvP, RP, PvE, or a slashie, like PvP/RP, puting the dominate one first) and if your a hero, do you have perception! (try and stick to your main pvp alt I guess you can put more if you have one pvp main per sever :P, and no "I'm teh uber, nothin troubles me!")

So:

UltraNova
AT:Blaster
Build:PvP/PvE
Perc: No
Troubles with: Corruptors, and sometimes Brutes

I'm in the SG running it and I'm not getting involed, so if I can avoid it surely you can ravey!

The guide is handy, Ultra, but it is very generalised, not covering the huge disparity between states, or between small town USA vs Big City USA.

[/ QUOTE ]

It is a quick guide and you will notice that I usually say most or almost all. I plan to make a larger guide if people liked this one, or found it slighty helpful

[ QUOTE ]
However, the word 'f.a.n.n.y.' is a perfectly acceptable word for one's bottom, and what we used to call 'bum-bags' the Americans refer to as 'f.a.n.n.y.-packs'. Patting your wife or partner's [censored] in public is perfectly acceptable over there.


[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know what you were trying to get at here, other than maybe add to the guide?

[ QUOTE ]
But Trailer Trash is an Americanism that has been exported. So if your English mind thinks Chav, the chances are your character would be thinking Trailer Trash. Similar concept

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, having know both many chavs, and many trailer trash (hey, you go to a small town..)

"Trailer trash" in my honest experiance are nothing like Chavs. 1) Nobody really strives to be a "White Trash" its something you kinda get called.2) A chavs is something that is a "choice", like your choice to be a "mosher" or a "Geek".
It's a "trend" in its self. I have seen middle class children be chavs because its the concept of cool in certian areas, it is also kinda made "popular" by the media.

A hoodrat, would be the closest I can think of being a chav, or a combo white trash/hoodrat.

[ QUOTE ]
It is bitter that most Americans will be unaware of.

[/ QUOTE ]

Its really also lager. Most americans would just say beer. Even in a small town. I really doubt they would say lager, unless (th eonly one time I heard it over the pond) they are talking about an imported beer.

[ QUOTE ]
partner's

[/ QUOTE ]
This is another I forgot to add, this means your "happy" as GG would call it. A partner, usually or generally refers to the same sex over the pond.

I hope this guide has been helpful and, not insulting :P

[ QUOTE ]
resulting in a "crisper" tasting beer.

[/ QUOTE ]

You kinda just contradicted yourself :P

Beer, if you look at the top of the webpage you got that in, includes: Bitters, Ales, Lagers, and a few others :P

[ QUOTE ]
with things like budwiser, Miller, Rolling Rock etc, that they mostly drink larger,

[/ QUOTE ]

Lager is actually beer, it just a different name for the it.However they use the word beer for everything as opposed to saying lager, bitter etc

Really? then why do they say it here in the North West?

UltraNova's Quick Guide to Being American!

1) Americans don't drink "Lager", as a rule. Most would not even know what lager is!

2)Chavs do not exist outside of england/europe. We have hoodrats, but they have a different attitude to chavs.

3) Americans would not use these words and might even find them offensive: Mate, [censored], Cocker, Flower, Pet,

4)I doubt any americans would say "lo", "heya!" or "Hiya". Its not something they typically say

5)Americans say Elevators, not lifts. Toliets,John, Can bathroom, washroom, not loo, bog or other english sayings

6)Pubs are not common site for america, nor does it have a pub culture, This one is a tought one to describe, but if you go to pocket d and act like your in a pub, you are breaking character to a degree. Especially if you are younger.

7)Sayings like "can't be asked, taking the mickey, or Go on them. In fact I don't even no if we have equalivalents?
Got burned, dissed,spanked, ripped, or just plain made fun of.

8) Snog is making out or kissing. Mobiles are cells. You call someone not ring them. Calling some one mean calling some one not making fun of them. Lad is boy/guy. Lass is girl/shorite/honey/lady/babe. Chips are crisps. Chips are fries, don't really drink pints, more likely to get a pitcher or a half pitcher, jug for short, or a bottle.

I.e "Can't I get a pint of lager mate?" would be "Can I get a pitcher of beer man/dude/buddy."

"One second flower, let me ring my mate, she's a bonny lass"

"One sec babe, Let me just call up my friend, she's a pretty girl/ hot shortie etc"

I will make a much more organised list sometime in the future. If you have any other questions, PM me or use this thread?

No its not to stereotype americans, its more to make you feel or act believe-able and to stop things like ((Americans don't say mate)).. ((OOPS i forgot)).

Would anyone be offended if I wrote a small guide here on how to be a "American" better?

[ QUOTE ]
Characters get killed, people might get worried if we started "deleting" players

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh I know, that why i put or delete a character.

I think there is two different types of going pass the in game rescritions.Things that can be achieved through fudge, and things that never can be disproved. A player can die, if such players are created to do so , or if the said play deletes him or her, they are dead. A city can be destroyed as long as its a frictional one, or one that the GM is certain that no one uses/knows about. (Like genosha city, or the floating avian city of narina..). However as Raven said I would refrain from saying Paragon will be destroyed, Icon will be destroyed etc

Also there are certain things that can be achieve in game I believe, typically the whole unmoveable object/ irresistable force. Unless Forumn RP or an agreement between characters, it is much easier to say I am Invulnerable, save such a such, rather than I can kill anything. Unless such a party godmods, saying "my sword pierces your armor and you die"

You can't disprove the person is nigh invulnerable, as you can't force him into a situation in which he isn't. But as raven said I would say refrain from using such characters, unless its a closed" plot that you are GM of.

The Canada Corps heroes are recalled to Toronto.

You had a canada corps I wanna join

Sorry to see you go I thought your Scot Bots posts were funny and frick.

Have any of you seen the Brit/Vigilante storm post? I thought it was rather good , and effectively show what good could come from this petition. She asked that instead of making more statues of cops and firemen, that most of teh money towards these projects get diverted to where they are needed and that a Wall of heroism be made in a city park so that any who come to paragon can read the names of those who died for the city, masked vigilante or regular joe, and be reckonise as a hero, as well as a thnak you to everyone for keeping paragon alive.

[ QUOTE ]
It really hasn't got anything to do with age, but stereotypically, it would be the younger heroes who would signa and then seek other signatures without considering how the petition sounds.

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought of that too, but again I think its down to perception. In RL there is a age gap between me and you Ravey, so maybe in your experiences its always been you people coming up to and and ssaying "Hey mister can you read this and sign it please!" in my experience its "Hey you youngster! This is very important, read it sign it and then show it to your parents!"

I was just wondering from a psychological point of view if it was because I was younger than most of you, it would be a older person trying to get me to sign a petition. I mean wiether you release it or not, everyone draws on personal experience to influnence their reactions, wiether its something you read, something you went through, or something you were taught. Sometimes its even choosing the opposite of your own personal react to dicate what you would do.

Anywho... its was just a curiosity.

Good to see the arguements have died down

Also are we planning a massive rally or something? I know my own SG is meeting up IC to disscuss this plot with the PCP I think.

I was disscussing with Raven this, and thought, what the heck I'll share it withthe world. I think it's funny, and maybe a bit insulting considering my heroes ages , that, all the NPC heroes, save maybe a few like myself and raven who doesn't actually sign or not sign any petitions, who ask people to sign their petitions are discribed as young male heroes, often alot younger than themselves.

I think its kinda funny because it suggests that only the young and naive inexperience heroes would believe in WV petition enough to go around trying to get people to sign it. Does everyone subconciously think this or is this just a coincendence (Spell check plz!)Or even still am I one of the more younger RPers in RL and in game?

Overbrook Dam in Faultline..

Em-pulse was on partol in the area, keeping the construction site safe. He had repel most of the Lost and Arachnos plans for sabatoge for the day, and started helping the contrusction team move materials.

Floating in the air above them, he used his electromagnetic powers to shift the large amounts of steel girders close to the construction site.

"Thanks Em-pulse," one of the construction works said. "No problem Larry, its my job" he laughed. He hated being so close to water, it weaken him just on contact, or worse release his evil alter ego, but it was worth the risk if he could help speed up construct on the Dam and help the people of Overbrook get on with there lives.

Suddenly from his left he heard a cry for help. "HEY, ANYBODY, THE LOST THEY TOOK LARRY!" the man screamed. "Not again," Em-pulse muttered as he flew off in the direction of the voice. Just around the construction site, the group of Lost held the Larry, making sure his mouth was covered. They didn't seemed to be interested in the construction worker at all. No they had other plans. As Em-pulse flew towards their direction, one of the Lost took out an axe and stood by a fire hydrant. "Wait for it! Wait for it!", said the leader. "NOW!" he shouted as Em-pulse came into view. With that the Lost hit the fire hydrant with the blunt side of the axe, knocking off it lid. The water came gushing towards the electric hero. Before it landed on him, draining him of his powers, the water began to freeze. The Lost, horrified to see their plan fail, drop Larry and ran.

To the side of Em-pulse, a heroine stood beside him, maybe a few years older."Thanks fellow hero!" he said in his best comicbook voice,"Just in the knick of time!"

"No problem..umm.. fellow hero," she said,"Glad I could help!" "Well thanks anyways I better get back to the dam.." he said awkardly. "UMM wait, I have this petition here, I was wondering if you would sign it?" Em-pulse took the form and read it. "Sure its about time people like my buddy Crimson Archer got some credit!" The heroine looked puzzled. "Crimson Archer? No this petiton is for normal people, you know the people that risk there lives everyday for the city,without powers.." before she could finish, he interupted,"Yeah! Like my buddy Crimson Archer! He doesn't have any powers! He just gots a bow and arrow! He risks his life everyday, just to help people, even thought he could get shot, or injured. Hey atleast the police got guns and get paid right!" he joked. "Umm I think you misunderstood. This is for the people of paragon city that go unreckonised, the ones that go out on a limb everyday to help the city despite the lack of "super-powers" like us! The true role models of the city."

Em-pulse looked at her puzzled, "Yeah like My buddy Crimson Archer! Or my brother Twilight Shinobi, he doesn't even have a bow and arrow, he just knows karate or something. He goes out there everyday risking his life, he's regular person, who fights without the benefit of any super-powers, relying solely on human spirit and heart, to make the city work. They don't have abilities to rely on and still make a difference. To me those are the types of role models I want my kids to see, they teach ya that you don't need super powers to be a hero, just like the doctors, teachers and police force.", he said quoting the petition. "I don't see much credit for guys like him, or any stautes for that matter. Can you name one hero without powers other than Manitcore, or Back Alley?"He paused, waiting for answer that never came, "Yep niether can I. Teachers, Doctors and the Police get paid to do what they do,Doctors quite a bit, and if you go out by the doughnut shop they don't alway risk their necks," he joked." Crimson ,and all the other regular joes, they goes out there, runnning around doing things we do with powers, just for the love of the human spirit and to better the city. If anything ,I think guys like that deserve more credit thatn us! I think they deserve to be reckonised too, especially if we are given out credit to those without powers." he said, posing in true comic book style. "I'll sign it, but only if you guys included the 'Regular heroes' like Crimson Archer, and my bro in that definition."

"Like I said its for the regular people of paragon.." Em-pulse sighed. "Well sorry then can't do that, can't reckonise only half the people, while the others get ignored.." he said as he flew off.
