I'm wrong anyway. I just rechecked. No one has any right to have the bank holidays as statutory days off. As of Oct 1st 2007, you have an entitlement of 24 days holiday per year (assuming a 5 day working week). Most companies don't include all bank holidays as part of that time, but they are under no obligation to. As of April next year, you'll be entitled to 28 days, and since your nice employer doesn't include bank holidays, he has no buffer and has to give you the extra days. More fool him.

At least they dont have to class christmas day and new years day as "holiday time" though (grumbles )

[/ QUOTE ]

What do you do? Pretty sure that Christmas Day is one of the few days in the year that's actually a fully statutory holiday. Easter Sunday is the other one, but most people don't get to worry about it. (It's been a few months before I looked those regulations up mind.)

On a side note im purely looking forwards to it going live for the silly silly refurb that will happen to our base, seems Eros is living on test at the moment making ever more "mental" things to do on the base editor bless him

Id love to see more of the Legends step off the pedestals once in a while and hand out finely tuned, uber shiny justice at the end of a fist/blast/arrow if the Devs/rednames (still not too sure about the difference) could get the time, showing up now n then ingame would be very cool.

It'd be far more amusing to watch them TRY to do that, and get pwnd..

I would like to see a button added to the wentworth interface that will empty the remainder of my salvage and recipes and list them all for 10 inf.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why are you selling stuff at the AHs for 10 Inf? Nothing I have ever gets listed that low. If it won't go for the price I can get from a vendor (and that means 300 Inf or more for Invention Salvage) it doesn't get listed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Read the OP. Its nothing to do with cash, its speed of emptying the inventory.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well then, a sell remaining salvage to vendor button would be a considerably better option, wouldn't it?

[/ QUOTE ]


Well if ive read the thread correctly, (I am horribly hungover atm bear with me) Ravens solution is the simplest, if badges are not the issue and money isnt (to a degree) then this works for me.

( EDIT: ok i missed the bit where he stated he wanted to feed the market, but frankly ive never had any trouble getting salvage from the AH for any recipes I need...9 times out of 10 I have what I need floating in the base or the vault but in the odd circumstance ive not noticed a drought of salvage per my requirements)

Back on Test server with I10, we were all havin' a grand time with the invasions, and everyone kept raving about how Positron was around, but I couldn't find him. By the end of a successful raid, I still haven't seen him, and I'm pretty sad. I mean, I love looking at the developer info on what kinda powers they've got, and so at the end of the raid, something like this happens:

Sigium: Man, and I didn't even get to see Positron.
A few seconds later...
Positron: I was standing right behind him when he said that.

The chat proceeded to fill with 'lol's of all manner.

First of all congrats on gaining the epics

To be honest you will find the tri form very fun at early levels, in my experience however, the human form is quite useful at later levels.

I know you said you like to plan your builds before hand, but bear in mind issue 13 is coming with the dual build option, so you could possibly have your tri form on one and all human on another.

Just experiment and have fun, if you want anymore help/advice pm me in game @stryke...there are three guys on our sg who are very experienced on the Kheld AT and we would be happy to help.

Sonic/Sonic - 8
Rad/Rad - 6

Eye beams.....nuff said

Well I stand corrected, but I sourced from a university site regarding random laws for some of those, so I blame them
(nothing to do with any shoddy quick copy/pasting by some idiot at work with nothing better to do )

Plus I only understand mathematics when its presented by Carol Vordeman , any other time I might as well try to read sanscript using George Bush as my translator....

Thats actually a relief tbh - looking at some others ..shadowe etc seem more attuned to what your requirements are, besides, ive not worked on stryke that much for many reasons (busy sg nights - RP being tough to breach in this game to name a few)

Plus commitments now meaning I may have less game time so id hate to commit to something I couldnt fully help with.

But I am very interested in reading where your going with this shadow, is this going to be ingame only or will you be posting a thread on the forums?

I like some of the threads running at the moment (nice narratives on most, some real talent we have here ) and would love to see what direction this takes, hope all goes well

Didnt specify, I think it means any man, either that or it has a population of one

Heres a more comprehensive list of more here;

Some are hilarious, such as "Massachusetts - Holyoke: It is unlawful to water your lawn when it is raining."..classic

Seems us Brits are not the holders of "most eccentric law makers" the US is close to the crown with these gems


1.in North Carolina, it is illegal for dogs and cats to fight

2.in Massachusetts it is illegal to put tomatoes in clam chowder

3.a bartender in Nebraska cannot sell beer unless he is simultaneously brewing a kettle of soup

4.in Alabama it is illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter during church services

5.a man in Connorsville, Wisconsin is prohibited by law from firing a gun while his female companion is having an orgasm

6.it is illegal in North Dakota to lie down and fall asleep while still wearing your shoes

7.in Baltimore, Maryland it is illegal to take a lion to the movies (this is my fave...still guffawing now )

8.in Wyoming it is illegal for a woman to stand within 5 feet of a bar while drinking

9.in New York the penalty for jumping off a building is death
(.....genius)

10.‘Idiots’ cannot vote in New Mexico
(so who votes??)

11.you cannot eat ice cream on a Sunday in Oregon

12.it is illegal to get a fish drunk in Ohio

13.in Virginia it is is illegal to tickle a woman

14.in Vermont it is illegal to deny the existence of God

15.(Deleted by teh interweb police for misinformation )


16.in South Carolina it is legal to beat your wife on the courthouse steps on Sunday


There are many many more but these are just the tip of the insanity iceberg

1.It is illegal for taxi drivers to carry rabid dogs or corpses.

3.It is illegal to be drunk on licenced premises.

4.Any person found breaking a boiled egg at the sharp end may be sentenced to 24 hours in the stocks.

1.Well that applies to every friday/saturday night out in town

2.Im going to the nearest aquarium in liverpool and demanding she uphold the law (and not much else)
(ok it says permitted but there are loopholes)

3. See number one

4. Have to agree ...many a day has gone by making a fry up when ive cut myself on the "sharp" end of eggs.....I love this country and its mentalness

Or try Chester, same weapons yet any day after midnight behind the walls of old town within a 50 yard limit....wonder why my mates from North wales wont come for a "freindly" night out there

God this country has some mental old laws

But given that there are very few assult weapons that do all of what is available in the power set, I'm not sure realism is high on the priority list.

This, in major pedant mode I have to concur (god i need to find better things to do at work...ooh maybe..work? ) the M40 starts life as a remington 700 but is modified by the USMC, there are variations but the antitank version you speak of is actually the "recoilless" version that is vehicle mounted.

The weapon that AR is actually closest to is the M4 carbine ...which does come with underslung grenade launcher attachments (the M203 is the name of the detachable barrel not the rifle)

But im digressing here into uber nerdishness (too late I guess )

In response to the comments regarding the attack chain feeling "bitty" ...I think it was techbot alpha, I tend to agree but since its just a personal feeling on the flow of the powers I think it will differ between players and thier differing playstyles.

The best ones I can suggest would be
Sals badgehunters;
Union taskforce;
and Union chat;
....there are others such as mothership raid but the info usually goes cross channel anyway

[ QUOTE ]
Lol anything is good

Anyone else wanting a run at Synapse on Friday?

[/ QUOTE ]

iirc bud theres a mommy ship raid running on friday at the same time ...buuut on the other hand i could do with the badge on my earth/rad troller, and may have up to three or four sg buds with a raft of toons to join, depends on whether they fancy the m/ship raid or not, ill get back to you before this evening mate, at work at the moment so cant do jacksie

Aye Raven, and I know it wouldnt be simply an effect of just flipping in cases such as the arms and capes, hence why I didnt state any assumptions to the ease of its implementation (I know thats a bugbear of yours mate )

But to clarify in terms of the chest pieces I meant the graphical flip of the images that are non symmetrical i.e jester etc

As I said its just a tiny niggling thing that comes up when creating costumes so hence why I placed the suggestion.

And to add maybe also the option to place jacket emblems on the opposing side but as you stated I know that would require a new model for items such as the medal etc

I know this is essentially a remodelling job and I dont suspect it would be a simple "ooh lets just horizontally mirror that thing there...job done" but still thought it worth suggesting to see what folks thought

Welcome to the forum, Super Sidekick

Don't take too much notice of the reactions of some people - it's just that this subject has been brought up and discussed quite frequently for quite a long time now, and the official word is that there are no planned server merges, and that they're happy with the current performance of the game, including the Euro part.

Some of the zones can seem a little quiet at times, but that's often because CoH has so many indoor missions, so you won't see so much activity out on the streets - plus, a number of shy/solo types often play on /hide, which means they won't show up on searches

[/ QUOTE ]

This I second, but to re iterate what I mentioned in my previous post, when I first played this game years back it was so easy to get a team, and yet when I returned a couple of years on after a hiatus, it did seem a little more difficult to get a team...not impossible or even rare...just..less than before.

This is that "wall" I mentioned, a lot of people (from my experience only I must add) are very very helpful and friendly in this game, yes you will find some who are not but as the community is smaller they tend to stand out a little more, however the fact remains that once you break that invisible wall and make a few regular contacts/friends you tend to team with their friends who in turn remember you and so on and so on, its just that first "breakthrough" where the game may seem desolate to some...

My advice bud, go to your tab and search for some channels ..on union for example the best ones are "union chat" "sals badgehunters" just 2 that spring to mind. let yourself be known to the guys there and it shouldnt be long before your amongst the goons flying through the myriad ITF/LGTF random hunts, mothership raids etc....

Tell you what if youre around on fridayat 8pm BST, and have a toon over 35 come to RWZ on union...Tsumiju Zero is running a raid and if it goes as well as last wednesday you will see this game (whilst I agree there is a low population in relation to other games around) still has a fun community to be proud of.

Ok just a quick suggestion from when I was creating a new toon the other day, regarding chest pieces, I was wondering if at all it would be possible to have a "flip" option on the horizontal axis for the chest piece designs?
Now I know this would affect the Alpha-numeric characters but for the non symmetrical icons there are a few I would like to see on opposing sides...I know this seems like a niggling point but its something I thought of whilst looking through the designs...

Plus with the over shoulder capes on the vet rewards (which I am due soon) can you swap those between left and right or could that be added too?
