Happy Birthday!


Blessing for the coming year(s).






-Star

Just make sure you find out how old you guys are.......eventually. ; )






-Star

You two are pretty darn cute together.

(Although now I feel compelled to say you're both sooooo much OLDER than I thought you were, lol. And you guys can't be that much older than I am, for the record.)



Best wishes for a long and happy relationship. Nice people belong together. : )







-Star

Turn to the side!

That's it!

Work it...work it...you're a tiger, baby! Grrrr!


(Sorry; had to.) : P

When I first started, I played on Infinity. Out of all the server names, that one "fit" me the best, I thought.

I had a friend that played on Champion, so I had a few alts here, but it was not my "main" server until just before the first name purge.

-------

Why then?

Because I remember seeing the post for the name purge, and came up with the best idea I have EVER had in this game so far. (Even though sharing it will brand me as the nerd I am for doing this):

I set my alarm for East Coast start time so I could log on RIGHT AFTER the name purge was done.

Best idea ever --> I got GREAT names on every server.

Also...I finally managed to snag usable versions of my global name on most servers, too.

So, why Champion?

I ended up getting the best (overall) collection of usable names on this server.......and by this time I had met a LOT more people here through my friend's SG and teaming.

Then I ended up joining PoM and F.O.R.C.E. (blast from the past) and haven't left since.

----------

I actually have better names on other servers now..........mostly because I keep giving all my great names away (I gave @Grey the name Grey, @Bronx the name Odin, @Star the name Star --> even though it matched my global, etc., etc. etc.)


NOW? I WOULDN'T LEAVE IF YOU PAID ME. (And some have tried...) ; )






-Star

Hiya Viv!


How you been? : )


You need to get your butt on Champion and play with us! (The rest of you may come, too.)






-Star

Never going anywhere.


Damn near everyone here kicks massive butt.





-Star

Congrats!




-Star

That's awesome, man!


Thanks for sharing. : )




-Star

Peterbuilt politely offered up both options; there's no need to infuse the thread of a new player with needless drama just to satiate a running disagreement.

I appreciate new players and would see them made to feel welcome, please.

-------

The honest answer is that BOTH channels are perfectly reasonable options to use.

You can even join both! (gasp)

-------

Welcome, again. We love us some drama around here; but you'll find a TON of really nice and helpful players here. (Including Elf; who is helping with PvP if you're interested in getting involved.)



Have fun,



-Star

3 PMs and one post received so far.


Thanks to everyone who has made an effort so far. : )




-Star

Welcome home.


@Starfire if you ever need anything. : )






-Star

Magic, right now.

But if somebody has a bio that really works well with a different origin; I would consider changing it to suite that bio.


(And the influence reward might be more than that --> depends how much I make this week.)



-Star

To everyone who missed out on my Xmas generosity (several 100 million influence gifts during the holidays), here's your shot at some more loot:

I just started a Fire/Rad corruptor named Aither.

The name, depending on your etymology, means "bright, upper air" or "to light and/or to burn".

It is the name of a primordial Greek God in mythology (and where we get the terms ether and aether from).

-------

So here's the contest:

I need a good bio for him, and I am just mentally tapped out right now.

So, anyone who writes the bio I choose for him can choose from one of two things as a prize:

1) A reward of 50 million influence

OR

2) They can choose a name from this list to keep:

a) Shadow Warlock
b) Shadow Phoenix
b) Grey Widow
c) Star Gate
d) Wushu



Entries can be posted here or PM'd to me. If there's no interest; I'll just have to think one up myself. ; )




-Star

I didn't catch that before; thanks for this post.

That is scary as hell.




-Star

I would LOVE to get more into PvP.

I'm passable now; but would really appreciate some extra practice and pointers. And getting the accolades and badges would be great, too.





-Star

LOL; why does everyone keep telling me that?

Do I sound that old?

(Hey, you kids! Get off my Task Force!)

I'm actually in my 30's; I just look like I'm 21.


; )

(And your babies are beautiful.)






-Star

He *is* pretty darn cute, GP.

: )






-Star

Welcome back, Gattaca!

(And hope to see BA back soon, too.)






-Star

Luckily, we have a "Champion Name Watch" thread started *just* for that purpose.

Post what name (or type of name) you're looking for and you should get some replies.

(And /getglobalname XXX will do the same thing for you if you log on to Champion and use the prompt. It will tell you if it's taken and, if so, who has it now.)


What name are you looking for?




-Star

Thanks to:


1) The Pillars of Might: The best group of human beings and players I've met in-game. Thanks for allowing me to be me and never screaming when I ask naming questions. Respect.

2) Cobalt: It is hard work MOD'ing BMT. You do it well - and classy. Thank you.

3) Ping (and the Pingus): A MUCH better human being than most realize; and a very smart guy. And he does OKAY with build advice, too. (I will kick your *** in baseball next season, though.)

4) The entire UHB channel. So many quality people and players in one location. The channel is as fun as the players are.

5) My fantasy sports folks from Champion (Ping, Cherry, Big Daddy Dream, Tyger, etc.): Thanks for great competition every season. You guys rock - and are pretty darn good, too.

6) The server in general: I could literally spend an hour typing names of all the cool people I've gotten to meet and play with....Meowtch, Ace, 4shes, Myr, Ash, ReD, all of the Alliance Channel, Horus, Amy, Celestial Lord, Nibz, Critical Kat, Blaze, and on and on and on....

7) PERC and the other server committees - I think I have been a member of every Champion committee at one point in time; you guys do a great job with very little recognition. (And I never did thank you properly for all your help and patience back when my son was sick, Kat. Thank you.)



TO EVERYONE: You make Champion the best. Blessings to all of you for the coming year(s)! Stay up.
