No. I think having the xp awards in the MA are good. Now, would I be upset if the awards were somewhat less? no.

The MA represents "virtual reality" its not quite the same as "real" cox world, so having dimished returns on XP would not upset me.

however, I would want a boost in rewards somewhere else. The badges giving temp powers upon log in. half again as much debt gained (if you must gain debt in VR) from dying in the MA, etc.

You're missing his point. If someone played his arc through, he'd get tickets for the play-through. If that person then voted a 1 or 0-star for his arc then that'd be a difference in opinion.

But when someone doesn't even play the arc, but still votes a 1 or 0-star then that's griefing. And the author can tell when his arc is or is not getting played by the number of tickets he can collect from the MA guy.

Or, someone could have started the arc, gotten into it about halfway, decided it sucked already for whatever reason and quit it before they finished (thus keeping him from gaining tickets) and rated it 1-star upon leaving.

No actual griefing, the guy just had a boring or way too hard arc.

I've done that on a couple of arcs. One was boring. The tag made it sound interesting, It had a good rating. Ended up being a farm with no way of knowing that going in. I played a few of the groups to see if any text popped up that would make it less of a chore as I had picked it for a solo and ended up just leaving because it happened to be a cleverly disguised farm with no cleverness inside it. didn't finish it, but 1stared it because it was crap.

There was another with no description but an interesting title. 4 star rated. I enter and it has a time limit and the entry text says "see how many you can kill!" It was on the highest difficulty possible (every enemy was a boss and they traveled in packs and did I mention every single one was purple?). After dying 4 times before getting 10 feet past the entrance, I gave up, quit early and 1 stared it.

Again, no griefing. But also no completion of the arcs. It happens.

don't think so. I'll check


EDIT: Apparently she was. :/

Okay, I have a friend who is trying to malfactor down to my lvl. However, when I invite her to mal, I get the message:
{player} is not in this zone.

Her toon is standing right next to me.

She can invite me to lacky, but inviting her to mal does not work.

Anyone know whats going on with that?

That's really awesome. Love the inking on Eris

To help with anotomy... get an anatomy book. Seriously. Go find a good muscular diagram reference book in the medical section. Dynamic Anatomy is good for "superhero" proportions (which are slightly different than regular person proportions) but I suggest getting an actual anatomy book that is heavy on the musculature and learn to do "real" proportions first. It will be eaiser than trying to unlearn your superhero proportions should you move on to other subjects.


Examples: Learn to do This and This (NSFW body study) before continuing to do This.

(yes those are all by me, but they serve as good examples for both male and female anatomy)

*bump* just keeping the faith

From the lemming wikipedia article:

[ QUOTE ]
On occasion, and particularly in the case of the Norway lemmings in Scandinavia, large migrating groups will reach a cliff overlooking the ocean. They will stop until the urge to press on causes them to jump off the cliff and start swimming, sometimes to exhaustion and death. Lemmings are also often pushed into the sea as more and more lemmings arrive at the shore

Reporting on Assignment: Not Assignment. Personal Experience with "T. Raymond"
Star Strider Force Unit: What is this?
Time/Date Location: Nerva Islands. One of the Bridges, and then to a secret Rikti base. "Virtue" varient universe.
Level of Alien Threat: [High]

Report Details:
I was first contacted by T. Raymond to help him free his sister from those who would keep her hostage. After helping him he asked me to help him regain his memories. This involved directly hunting the bad-smelling creatures that do not belong on my hunting grounds. I was most pleased at gaining information on where they hid. They smell bad, but they easily hide their scent among the filth of the humans called 'Lost'.
I hunted them. I killed them. I found very disturbing things. They are breeding with humans using the DNA of the 'Lost'. Their numbers do not decrease no matter how many ships we destroy, no matter how many of these aliens we kill because they continue to breed.

Analysis of Current Situation:
We must stop the breeding of these creatures! They are bad smelling and pissing all over my hunting grounds to mark them as their own! The 'Lost' willingly allow themselves to be turned into those discusting creatures!

Suggestion of Action:
Kill all Lost! Destroy every gopher hole the Rikti have buried themselves in! Flood them out! Mark your territory again as your own!

Maybe an airport that we can finally have villians visit paragon outside of missions and heros visit rogue isles outside of missions (or pvp on either)

cause expanding the play map is always a good idea.

Titles and Doctorates for all but the Hospital Director are given based on the medical experience you possess:

Urgent Care Specialist (Any */Pain build with a more healing bent)
Neurosurgeon (Any */Dark MM with a more healing bent)
Radiologist (Any */Rad Corruptor with a more healing bent)
Feild Medic (Any toon with only the Medicine Power Pool)

The Stepford Nurse, Hospital Director

In-Game Contact(s): Stepford Nurse ( @Spectrum Lord)

Out-of-Game Contact(s): Forum Handle: roguemoon

URL: We have an entry on the VV, but its still a work in progress.

Coalition(s): None so far, but looking.

Other Details: If you join, you are expected to be availible most of the time you are playing in case a coalition is looking to get a team together for a TF/Trial and needs a healer (if you are already on a team, you're fine, as I encourage team play and helping others as a team built healer). We are here to be the doctors of the Rogue Isles, mad or not.

*yay*

>> I did the floor thingy you did with the spikes, but I added one of those big hands coming down from the ceiling instead of the four post thing over the medalion.

If you're still accepting petitions for characters to get artz, I have Schreodinger's Cat.

He's a Stalker. Claws/regen w/teleportation. I like to use the flat blades in shades of brown just a bit lighter than his costume because that gives off a very 40's/50's "rocketman" vibe that I go for with his costumes. He also uses the 'raider' mask (face detail 2, 'raider') when his goggles are down.

Zen garden style; Asian style to match the more asian style wall set we already have.

The aliens are stranger than humans and smell very bad. They mark the isles as if they own them. These are my hunting grounds, not theirs.

Miss Begot

I used the camo pattern in the mid-range red over the scarred face to make it look like she has burn scars.

The horns are the darkest red at the bottom and the mid-range red at the top.

The lightest red is used as the accents on the chains and the chest pattern.

The pink is used on the boots.

The rest is pretty obvious

So... which palete is the current one for the contest?

Is there still room?
