Very good.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks, I have a few more and I can do requests if anyone wants one.

Requests will probably be uncoloured though as I'm not totally used to Photoshop and can't promise that they'd come out like the Shockspike one, which I think it only okay on the colouring and that's the best I've ever done.

I'll post up one of Morgana's uncoloured characters soon.

Shockspike

Well I thought it was good.

No GG, this guy was from... ... well a SG of which we do not speak its name.

[/ QUOTE ]

This SG wouldn't have anything to do with caring for the mentally ill, would it?

[/ QUOTE ]

why yes, yes it would

[/ QUOTE ]
I hate those guys, especially those who jump on new characters, sending numerous tells about how 'kooky' they are and how that should entice people to join them.

Morgana had an altercation with one of the members earlier, they sent her a tell and she said "If you're about to invite me to an SG, don't bother, no offense but I get an invite from a *SG Name* person every time I start a new character."
He said "We just want to support the little ones as I remember how hard it was when I was a low level without support."
"My other 23 alts on this server can support me just fine."
"Yes but what level are they?"
"Added up, about 350."
"Ah, half of mine."
"Plus there's my brother's ridiculously rich level 50."
"How much inf does he have?"
"Not sure, last time I started a character he gave me 20 milion as a starter."
"Not that much."
"That was quite a while ago."
"That's 5% of my inf lol"
"And?" Is it a competition?"
"Yes, yes it is."
"Well I don't like competitive people, bye now, I won't reply because I'm ignoring you."

So, 20 million inf for a new character isn't much apparently.

They try way too hard with their recruitment, they aren't fussy about who gets in the SG and what he said to Morgana was really patronising and self-aggrandising.

I wish they'd all just shut the hell up.

As for spelling errors, it is no worse than quite a few unionwiki pages, or general posting on these forums. I honestly think picking on someone's grammar just looks petty. If you want corrections to that page, you could use the talk page, I am sure?

[/ QUOTE ]

Look, my point was that Liz was talking about there are so many pages with spelling errors in the context of editing pages and removing errors when Liz has made numerous typos and probably isn't the best person to be changing things like that!

Oh [censored] it, I'm having nothing to do with you lot, you take minor comments like that, which Liz hadn't even commented or and doesn't even seem bothered by, and blow them way out of proportion.

Not having anything to do with your drama.

[ QUOTE ]
hmm...then I come along and throw a spanner in the works, what would Mechano be listed as?

His base form is human (if old and grey skinned) and his younger form is human but he can adopted an anthropomorphic Dragon form (through mucking about with genetics) and he has a Werewolf form (through being bitten by a Werewolf).

Technically he could coexist in three given categories at once, Human, Anthro and Werewolf.

Perhaps just a 'Shapeshifter' category for those of us that are just plain oddballs.

[/ QUOTE ]

A Therianthrope is somebody who changes from bestial forms to human forms and back, so he'd be a Therianthrope.

[ QUOTE ]
I'm afraid I have a bone to pick with you Liz, again. Looking through the categories I assume you added (Vampire, Werewolf) you've written down suggested "rules" to use for those character concepts. I'd suggest very much removing these, as they are just your opinion, and do not have a place in the categories. Anyone that calls himself a werewolf should be allowed in the werewolf category, and anyone who calls them self a vampire should be in the vampire category.

If you want to get your opinion across, i suggest you put up a separate article about your own vampire and werewolf lore, rather than trying to impose it on others. The same for you posting "This character should be a Zombie.." on one of my character profiles. My character isn't in the zombie category because he is not a zombie. Simple as.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not only that but the articles you mentioned are full of bad grammar and spelling mistakes.

Oh and may I suggest changing the "werewolf" category into "therianthropes" so that you can put other types of animal shapeshifters in?

Problem is when changing something that involvs tagging across all profiles it is almost impossible to notify everyone what youre gonne do.

hitting the 150 profiles soon...

[/ QUOTE ]

There's a simple solution to that.

Don't change anyone elses pages.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok.. just was doing my best editing errors and making a category better. I leave it to the mods then.. (who do it too if needed anyway...)

I have never and will never change any story stuff... Do you have any idea how many typo's there are in the profiles...?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, 'typos' doesn't need an apostrophe in it, so perhaps you might not be the best person to be editing other people's mistakes?

Edit: Edited this back to what it said before I edited it due to being complained at.

Page Protection - I've heard that MediaWiki can be set up so only the user who created a page or a mod can make alterations, something to consider.


[/ QUOTE ]

This!

Seconded!

[ QUOTE ]
To clarify, please only list roleplayed characters from the Union server into our Union Universe Handbook please, this will save confusion. Thank you.

Concerning CharacterBox templates, the one listed in my guide is a standard version that I've made for the use of anyone who wants it. If you don't like it (for whatever reason), simply use another one (like Vox has done) or make your own. (Be sure to name it VoxBox or CharacterBox2 or whatever, otherwise it wont work and might even break the current CharacterBox.)

Concerning categories. Its up to the individual to setup any category of their choice (within reason or it'll be removed) and then tag it to their profiles. If other people then fancy this category they will likely tag it to their own profiles and before you know it, that category grows effectively. Do not repeat Liz's mistake and edit your set of categories into other people's profiles without prior consent. Thank you.

The moderator team will be holding an MSN meeting next week where we shall discuss several topics from footnotes (a new feature, self explanatory) to fixing the Main Page banner, and a few other things Zortel is concerned about. Thank you.

Pious.

As there are no problems with me using a different template box then I'm gonna put up my Union characters.

Glad ye clarified this, ta.

This is the one I used for my Villain by the way:

http://union.virtueverse.com/index.p...ate:VillainBox

And this is the Hero version:

http://union.virtueverse.com/index.php/Template:HeroBox

[ QUOTE ]
I have a simple expedient answer for those who need something to put in the sexuality template box, when it just isn't that important or necessary to know.

Irrelevant.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good idea.

I'm still using a different template for now though

And there is RP on Defiant FFM, there just isn't a gathering as far as I know.

I'm almost always in character on Defiant, so anybody who meets me, meets the character.

Okay, I'm going to give it a try, I'm going to use one of the side boxes from the US site for mine and make a page for a Villain.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

Yes they are using different templates, better ones in my opinion.

The fact that it's there annoys me, I think I'll just forget about using this thing.


[/ QUOTE ]

Suit yourself. Nobody is forcing you to use the wiki. It's merely there as a resource if people WANT to use it.

[ QUOTE ]

And why isn't there a Defiant one anyway? I've practically filled up all of my 2 accounts worth of slots with roleplayed characters on both Union and Defiant.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because it's the Handbook of the Union Universe, not the Defiant universe. Union is the official unofficial RP server and where 99.99% of the roleplayers are. If you want one for Defiant, nothing is stopping you from making one.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't say that nearly all the roleplayers are on Union, in fact the only roleplayers I've found on Union are the ones who use this forum, the GG meets and Pocket D, and that's not a lot of people.

I was just wondering why there isn't one for Defiant.

[ QUOTE ]
They're probably using different templates. You CAN create your own if you want to; but the point was to standardise things as much as possible. Again, you don't HAVE to fill in the field if you don't want to.

[ QUOTE ]
That's the way templates work unfortunately. But that doesn't mean you HAVE to fill all the blanks. Either put N/A or leave it blank and it'll say Classified or some such.

[/ QUOTE ]

But it doesn't have to work that way, look at the Virtue ones.

[ QUOTE ]
The answer to your question Vox, is it doesn't matter at all. Lets not even begin to discuss that issue, we don't want to make this little mess something that its not. Simply put, somebody's acted on an idea that was not thoroughly discussed and the site moderators'll deal with it (hopefully behind the scenes and away from this thread). Bare with us while we sort things out, but in the mean time, simply erase whatever unwanted categories you find coded to the bottom of you profile and lets speak nothing of it.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, I mean that I don't understand why it's even on the page, in the sidebar thing.

It just seems like pointless information.

I'd rather have a sidebar that I could edit so I could take out any tags which I don't think are necessary, this is something which is stopping me from adding my characters to it.

I tried deleting Sexuality from the Cheat Sheet and it didn't go away.

I've looked at the Virtue one and I'd much rather use that sidebar.

I don't really understand why the sexuality tag is there to be honest, why does it matter who somebody prefers to sleep with?

I bet he was put up to it by his mates, it's too ridiculous to be anything else.

I've given up on my argument.

I'm not keen on the GG roleplay group, but I guess that's just because different people have different styles of roleplaying.

Yeah, all this is well and good but I've never understood why heroes in their 'civvies' would go out of their way to hang around with a group of heroes who aren't in their civvies in a public area.

I've been to the GG meets, people don't just talk about boring mundane stuff, they talk about what's happening in the hero world.

Civilians walk past the GG meet all the time, at least some of them would hear things they probably weren't meant to hear, also, your civvied up characxter is likely to have had their picture taken just by hanging around the hero group.

You've seen the tabloids in real life, reporters do tremendous amounts of digging to dredge up the dirty secrets of celebrities, I don't see why Paragon's reporters would be any different and your hero, like it or not, is a celebrity.

I guess it's probably just my opinion but I think that turning up to a public meeting of heros in your civilian attire if your civilian identity is a secret is a bad idea.

[ QUOTE ]
2: Peoples names do not float above their head. Also, they may not answer to that name, or even be known personally by it. This goe back to tip one, if you're not sure and the description of them doesn't help, send a tell asking.

[/ QUOTE ]

I would just like to point out something about this. We're in a city that is full of heroes who are in the paper every day. There's a pretty high chance that anyone stood at the GG statue will have had their photo taken and their hero name may be public knowledge.

A low level character may not have actually done much in the city and so may not be well known, but someone who is level 20+ is very likely to have had their picture taken and hero name found out.

So basically what I'm saying is that unless someone puts in their info that their character actively avoids getting their picture taken and avoids people finding out their hero name then I think it's perfectly reasonable for someone to walk up to them and say "Hey, aren't you Soandso? I saw your picture in the paper."

Conserve power is a great power but you can't replace stamina with it.

[/ QUOTE ]

You won't need to though.

The way my Elec/Elec Brute is set up, if I get down to low stamina, I click Conserve Power and no matter how quickly I attack, my endurance just keeps going up.

The only powers I haven't taken on my Elec/Elec Brute are Taunt, Lightning Clap, and Lightning Field. I have no use for any of them.

The only Power Pools I took are Flight (just because it's my favourite travel power and for concept reasons) and Fitness.

Swift + Lightning Reflexes = a very, very quick moving character, just in case you need to run away.

I found that I 'had' to put the difficulty up just to get any sort of challenege out of the game. I'm at the point where I can one shot yellow mobs using Build Up and Lightning Rod.

Next up is Power Surge, mmm, tasty boss deaths

I dont know if thats very clever actual artwork on the real environment in which case "WOW" or 2 pictures super imposed on eachother in which case "very clever and convincing".

[/ QUOTE ]

It's clever artwork, if you looked at it from another angle it wouldn't make sense.

I've pretty much given up, I'm on something like 600 words and I just can't find the inspiration to write anything.

Maybe I'll make the story into a comic instead.
