Myself, I just kinda sound like a pubescent boy now.

Well, at least my voice isn't cracking as bad as it was a few days ago.

@Isis: I blame -perception from the flu for not seeing that you're on Pinnacle.

Yeah, Saturday was probably the best day possible to wear costumes out and about.

[/ QUOTE ]

It wasn't so much a costume, so much as lots and lots of pvc. :P Friday night was sort of costume night for me, go go gadget kimono!

I was surprised you were still able to smile after wearing that all day.

Years of practice!

... and lots of booze. ^_^

I was about ready to rip my eyes off by the end of the night though, thanks to the rhinestone-y lashes. I'm just glad it was cool enough on Saturday for me to not die from heat exhaustion.

Pics?

Sounds like an interesting getup.

[/ QUOTE ]

Of all the pics that were taken of me at Gencon, I think maybe only one or two of them were taken by people I actually knew. o.O Nothing's been sent to me yet in any case.

I have one hard copy of a photo taken in the exhibition hall (I forget the game, but the two angels insisted on it)... but no scanner. :P

[ QUOTE ]
so, who else brought home the GenCon flu?

[/ QUOTE ]

I blame the nasty Indianapolis air. But yeah, I've got the plague, and so did my roomie for the weekend.

Which looked amazing, I might add. Y'all missed out on this one.

The meet and greet was AWESOMESAUCE!

And those that went to the White Wolf party on Saturday saw CuppaJoe in a very new light.

Unfortuneately, that open bar thing has caused me to STILL be hung over after 24 hours.

Oh my head....

Man, I wish I had known about the WW party ahead of time. I ended up at Radio Radio for a show.... which was quite fun, but party with open bar vs bands I've seen before, hmm....

Next year!

Anyway, it was great meeting everyone at Hard Rock and Alcatraz. My apologies again to anyone I didn't get a chance to say hi to, and much love to all of the awesome people that I did meet!

I teamed with I_am_machine, nyb, and duchess_frost among others last night for some sweet xpx2 action. Managed to travese all of 39, and half of 40 over the course of a couple hours, which is pretty sweet considering my late start.

Anyway, good peeps them Force of Furiers (not to be confused with forcefull furriers). Thanks for the team!

"Is iammachine here?"

<.<

>.>

Mebbe.

I didn't know I was so recognizable.

In one day I've had the pleasure of meeting, teaming and making friends with some spifftacular new to me people. Obviously, I have assimilated the Ring. Truly, a MEGA experience was had by all and resistance to having fun was indeed futile.

I also had the pleasure of running with some members of PSF whose names escape me. I am sure Byro can help me on that one.

I look forward to more hot team action, this weekend and after!

Zomg thank you, this is great! Now I don't have to waste a bunch of time standing over a refinery trying to figure out what salvage I need to grab out of storage and can focus on what I need! YAY!

*squee* Yay! I was thinking about writing up a Drop Team guide myself (from Champion), but it looks like you've beaten me to it! Great guide.

Funny you don't look like a machine.

I could, but being as that costume mostly involved body paint and dead computer parts, I don't think I'll be posting evidence here.

Meh sure, why not.

I'm 22 and a computer engineering undergraduate student... somewhere in southwestern Ohio.

Personally if the risk vs reward factor is the angle here, I think there are probably betters way of doing this without severely limiting your average player. It's easy enough for a tank on the street to herd/dumpster dive, where someone can just hang out and easily be within the 300ft range while not contributing diddly, or for someone to be teleported around while other teamates do the fighting. Not a ton of risk there, but support types who HAVE contributed to the team are limited to how effectively they can fullfill their role. It's extremely common for me to be bouncing around all over locking things down/debuffing/chasing down and healing a teammate who got hurt and ran and is prolly more than 300ft away. Or in the event that I for some reason face plant, I might be down for a while or it might be more effective to go to hosp and run back to get back to aiding the team sooner- in the meantime my team has benefitted from being buffed and/or mobs not moving, but I've been dead for more than a minute or am out of range and have done no damage to speak of. So the way I see it, I'm busting my [censored] so my teammates who are doing damage can do so more effectively with the potential of losing quite a bit of reward [xp] despite being an active member of the team.
I think something that would be far more effective and less limiting/harmful to normal game play would set a basis in terms of idle time/targeted powers activated. If a targeted power has not been activated by the player within X time they will not receive xp. Theory is most people would need to at least be remotely close to the action to keep targeted powers going tho there are some builds that would have a few ways around that, you'd at least have to periodically do something for your xp thus making it at least a little less convenient to be an idle xp sponge. Also another idea may be limiting the number of times a mission may be reset either within a given time period or X times reset and cannot be reset again for X time to prevent mission farming. On a similar note, I understand that the spawns from portals no longer give xp to prevent farming but dear god that's really, really, really high risk depending on how long it takes [or if another portal was aggroed by accident] for almost no reward. Maybe throw us a bone and at least receive xp for the first wave or do away with the nasty things altogether?
