Here, suck on this.

I'm fighting against some very childish urges right about now.

[ QUOTE ]

plz devs can villains have more choice in villains to fight. heroes have more so can we have more. ty
more enemies to fight in paper mishs ty. like warriors

[/ QUOTE ]

Um. We do get to fight Warriors...

[ QUOTE ]

Heh. I take it you're not a regular on bad_rpers_suck, then? Roleplayers will do that, and worse.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't ever question the sanctity of my half-Draenei werewolf. Thanks.

[ QUOTE ]

... I'm well aware of this. Being one of those RPers who doesn't think that way.

[/ QUOTE ]

We're also well aware that not everyone who bumps into people is doing it on purpose, and that not every roleplayer is a good person. Yet it's still being pointed out.

Just figured I'd bring a balance to things, s'all.

[ QUOTE ]

And Syra, it was the second half of my post that was the most important. That RPers who use acronyms and smilies aren't considered RPers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not all roleplayers think this way.

[ QUOTE ]
It was right next to GG, so... probably.

Your group of friends may be nice, but the same can't be said for all RPers. Nor can you say anyone who uses acronyms or smilies in RP isn't an RPer.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nobody said all roleplayers were nice. Hell, the opposite has been explicitly stated a couple of times.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume those weren't among the friends he mentioned.

Your mom, obviously.

Pistols at dawn for your insult, Suh.

I can't be the only one who thinks Alphane has been channeling Lion's Bane, surely.

[ QUOTE ]
that is no reason for us as the players not to express our disatisfaction that there are not currently viable systems in place to prevent just this sort of action.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think too many people are disputing that. >_>

[ QUOTE ]

Did @Sneaky_thieving_goit tell the OP that he was going to clean out the storage and bug out of the SG? No. That's defrauding. He fraudulently gained access and permissions to a SG with the intent to strip it bare. Did @Sneaky_thieving_goit do it on purpose? Looks like it. Did @Sneaky_thieving_goit's actions cause distress to the OP? Yes.

[/ QUOTE ]

Did the OP give full permissions? Yes.

Would it be possible to state, on one man's word alone, that anything fraudelent took place? No.

What if the guilty part posted first? What if he reported the OP for harassment and drawing attention to him? What if you were seeing things from the other side, without the OP's input at all?

A number of you are wildly underestimating the thought process that needs to go into this sort of judgement - you can't just grab your pitchfork and torch as a GM.

[ QUOTE ]

The OP is clearly distressed by this.

[/ QUOTE ]

Problem: how do you measure "distress" when it came about due to something the player originally consented to (in this case a salvage transfer)? It's easy to say and understand he's upset by these events, but how do you see things from a completely neutral, paid perspective?

A lot of players take part in things that could cause distress to others, but it's done with consent (swearing and "adult" topics in team chat immediatly spring to mind among other things). It's a bit of an iffy guideline to go by; if a punishment is handed out here, then it's a bit of an awkward precedent to set for other incidents.

[ QUOTE ]

Taking a look at those, we can immediately see that @SneakyThief has already broken rule 1 straight away, so one has to ask; why DON'T NC take action against salvage thieves? It's a clear breach of the rules, after all...

[/ QUOTE ]

You cause me distress by quoting those rules.

/inane argument

I think the key part here is that the harassment, etc, was done "willingly". i.e. He was given the salvage and appropiate permissions, rather than giving a f-cluster or abusing any UI glitches. I've worked as a GM before, and this kind of distinction - no matter how tiny - can change how a ticket is dealt with.

Coding in respect for Villains is hogging all their resources.

[ QUOTE ]
Not funny. A lot of bad language and insulting things just to be "big".

Fail.

[/ QUOTE ]

YEAH RAWR PARODY IS SRS.

They're quitting motherboard chipsets - i.e. things that enable SLI configurations and the like. It's not profitable enough so they're shifting the personnel over to GPU hardware and software.

Hell, they're already working on Direct-X 11 cards and integrating seperate physics chips onto current generation graphics hardware (so your CPU won't be as battered).

[ QUOTE ]
Why is this even something that people think could be coming next?

NOTHING that NC are selling as a micro-transaction offers any sort of advantage to a character. Why will they suddenly start doing so, now?

[/ QUOTE ]

Away with your logical reasoning!

/bash

Updated Jane Lundgren's page. Added new equipment and a small paragraph to bottom of the page. Need to find a more suitable image - not entirely happy with the one I uploaded.

[ QUOTE ]
Why would anyone resent another person being able to buy something with their own money?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because that jacket you bought looks bloody awful. I wish you'd start listening to me on these matters already.

[ QUOTE ]
I do not want to be forced to buy extra stuff.

[/ QUOTE ]

...in what way are you forced to buy any of the services they're offering? It's a premium luxury - just like server transfers and the like.

Until they start offering permanent character bonuses that can't be obtained "free" in-game, I don't think there's any issue here.

After the last few nights of some very intense roleplay, I'd say Villain RP is very much alive - just need to get involved once and you're hooked. Muahaha.

Goddammit NC. If you want the contents of my bank account, just come out and ask.

No, the main reason people are against it is "IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE ((((", which is complete and utter [censored] in the context of a super hero game.

Shields don't make sense in comics, yet we're getting them. Where the hell were you guys when they were announced?

[ QUOTE ]
Shape changing =/= gender swapping.

[/ QUOTE ]

As far as comics go, there's no difference.

The feeble "IT'S NOT NORMAL ((((((" argument holds no merit. Lots of things aren't normal, and gender swapping has gotten a lot of mileage in the comics (Mystique and countless What Ifs immediatly spring to mind).

If you don't want the idea, fine, just use better reasoning than "IT'S NOT NORMAL ((((".

Oh, and costumes in and out of themselves don't serve a purpose. No more customisation options plx.
