For Virtue I highly suggest joining VU2010, its a great channel to use getting started on the server, very knowledgeable people.

Name: S.C.O.R.P.I.O.

Currently Recruiting: S.C.O.R.P.I.O. is always recruiting fresh blood to join the team. We take professionals and only the best.

RP Level: Heavy RP, Occasional Mature themes (Violence, adult language, death), we are also big into story based RP through our forums.

PvP Level: Occasional casual arena and zone RP PVP.

Theme/Concept: The Strategic Command Objective for Research, Protection + Interdictive Operations (S.C.O.R.P.I.O.) is an international, extra-governmental intelligence and security organization formed to meet the rising storm of exceptional threats beyond the usual scope of normal law enforcement and military forces. SCORPIO is dedicated to protecting the nations and peoples of Earth from terrorists and all technologically-advanced, extraterrestrial, psionic, superhuman, occult, paranormal and supernatural menaces, and often assists such organizations as Longbow as well as other 'super'hero groups in apprehending threats to national security and world peace.

Inspired by: SHIELD, The Ultimates, Psi-Corps, StormWatch: Team Achilles and The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense.

Activity: We're extremely active, but appear moderately so. As a group of mostly mature adults our play times can be varied but you'll almost always find someone on and getting events set up are always easy. Our core group is very dedicated to the group story, and consists of about 20 people.

Requirements for Membership:

• Application: Our online application should be filled out in as much detail as possible. Tell us about your character, what they've done, who they are, and how they may have come to the attention of SCORPIO.
• Maturity: As a rule all members should be over the age of 17. This is a roleplaying group and deals with themes of military styled combat, covert operations and lethal force. You should be able to speak maturely both IC and OOC.
• Inactivity: We realize that Real Life always comes first, however if you cannot log-in for an extended period of time, you should notify the group at once... as is courteous. We have a 30 day rule for unexplained absences, 90 days for explained absences. In both situations the character will be removed, but players are welcome to rejoin once they've returned to the game.
• Communication: Communication both IC and OOC is very important and should be clear. ALL CHARACTER PLAYERS must set up and use the global chat channel for out-of-character (OOC) chat.
• Levels: There are no Minimum or Maximum requires for levels. We welcome new characters and existing characters alike.

Leadership:
Director: Jack Slayton
Deputy Director: Rikki "Cherry 9" Jericho

Other Details: We're a fun, story focused group and always looking to have new people to join in on the story. We especially welcome story writers and those with an interest in becoming involved in the group story. We're also actively looking for people who are self starters. Its also important to note that we're very friendly OOC as well as IC.

SCORPIO is broken into two main divisions and contains a couple specialized units. We have a place that almost any type of character would fit into. Check out our site for information on how the group is set up and organized.

Eh I was going to make a long reply, but I'm not going to bother if someone doesn't even understand what logical fallacy or non sequitur is when tossing around words.

I stick to my opinion, that card is a piece of junk. Any comments I can find on it are people complaining about its poor/choppy/lagging performance in games, and its really just a POS.

Don't believe me? Try googling it

Which was pretty much exactly my point. When diagnosing a problem the first question is: Does this happen just to me, or to everyone?

If it happens to everyone its the application.

If it just happens to one or a small handful of people its probably hardware/system related on their own end.

I'd still bet money its that video card. You'd be better off with a 7600 GT then that thing for gaming. And just a cursory search shows its a card prone to choppiness in games.

Sounds like a issue with your system though or your internet connection. My old system was lower spec then that and I never had a issue with SB and it was a Pentium D 805 2.66 ghz with a GeForce 5700 GT and 4 GB of DDR2.

So I doubt highly its the game since not everyone has this problem with SB. I'd take a guess either your video card is whack, or you have a memory issue. If I was betting? Video card.

But the computer you just described? Not really state of the art 2 years ago. Especially not that video card. Its a card primarily for HD video, not gaming. The 9300 GE, AFAIK know was just a rebrand of the 8200.

Get a new video card. Someone in the Tech forum could probably help you out.

You just show up prior to the scheduled time. I know they are run Villain side @6 PM EST (get there by 5:30) every Sunday.

I believe they do it during the week as well. I'm also fairly certain the hero raids are sometime on Saturday. I'm not sure there is a raiding channel specifically, but VU2010 is a good way to know when things are going on.

At what point did I say they were random acts of kindness? Its people thinking they're "helping", but its still, end of the day relatively trivial in the grand scheme. Whether you like it or not whats the worse case scenario. Losing a few minutes waiting for it to go away? A little bit of debt?

Its a game, its not something to get that worked up over is my point. Deal with it, don't whine about things you can't change, you are after all sharing the game with several hundred or more people at any given time depending on the server.

If you need to count to 10 to stop your sudden influx rage simply because someone did it, or get worked up enough you have to have a tirade on a forum about it, you're taking the game as a whole WAY to seriously.

But lets reverse it, lets say its not kindness. Lets say its someone who jumped in and killed the guy you were working on stealing XP and Inf? Ok sure, that sucks, but no point getting worked up over it. No point raging about it or really even posting here. You won't change how some people are.

Instead ignore them and move on. People can only ruin your "fun" if you let them.

And the point? You don't even get debt at level 4, worst case scenario you had to hike again to the mission door. Oh the humanity.

I loved that book so much. Its really just made of win.

Now I can't wait to play his arc!

And I'll just chime in with a few others, really that article stinks, no information, not even written well. Its just a fairly poor teaser.

Link me when its the actual interview. k thx

Hmmm its working for me, I just made a ton of changes on the page for Kinetic.

Looking at the Recent edits it seems you made one just recently on your user page. So I doubt you've been banned or that change wouldn't have gone through. I'd say may there is something wonky with your cookie? Try closing the browse and reopening/logging in and see if that helps.

Edit:
Weird I just logged in and got to view two pages then I was suddenly not logged in. Maybe something is being worked on. I would suggest saving anything you're working on off line.

Links help ^_^

Seems like a lot to me. There is a ton going on in that picture.

Glowing costumes?

New goggles?

The hair is different and seems to maybe be moving? O_o

The lighting in the Tunnel is amazing and just the tunnel looks, completely different from anything we have.

Thats a pretty serious tease, but its also a very cool view at something we haven't seen. The question now is whether thats a NPC or a PC.

But glowing costumes? WIN!

I've got two of the three I need, also have an HVAS and Shivans.

Yeah I seem to vaguely remember this being a bug in the past that was fixed once before.

You forgot the futa girls.



...

That one mistell is responsible for more then a few gray hairs, I'm sure. *shudder*

Sorry, minor sarcastic joking on my part. >_<

I believe you.
