Now that was a good article!!!

I have to say, I quite like this one. This is deffenitly a series I look forward to future instalments of. Any chance we could get the lowdown on Auzira next? She is, after all, the one we're most curious about. Give us some fun character background so we don't feel the urge to take baseball bats to the back of her skull next time someone 'breaks into' the MAGI 'vaults'.

Fine article, Gil! The details were interesting, personal and believable. I'll never look at Brighid the same way again, and I happily anticipate discovering more about the other contacts we all share.

Maybe Jackson could dig up a bit of dirt on whether Azuria's consistent loss of key artifacts is incompetence or design.

*sniffle* Now I feel all civic minded. Better go arrest some Skulls!

Yeah actually, some information about some of the contacts we have would actually be really cool. Azuria's a definite, if you can, but that one contact in the NW part of Indy Port... I can't remember his name exactly, the former hero who lost his powers, and used to be buddy-buddy with Hero 1. The last contact you talk to for the cape mission before goign in the instance. He was an interesting character, I'd like to hear more about him too.


 

Posted

Justin Greene, isn't it? That's a good call. An article on Rick and Susan Davies would also be fun.

Great article!

Unfortunately during the time Azuria was being interviewed the CoT and BP made off with an armload of artifacts from MAGI

Wooo!

Wait wait wait.....

does this mean we may get a Filipino stick fighting martial arts set?

Great stuff, although I feel a bit bad for her:
"Out of this reorganization, the City Representative’s office was totally overhauled—largely due to the efforts of Ms. Moreira herself."

The poor woman is standing in that lobby 24/7, so she's likely never even seen said overhauled office

And I'd just like to add my support for an article on the amazing misplacer of artifacts, Ms Azuria.

"was particularly egregious during Mayor “Spanky” Rabinowitz’s many years in office."

Thats been around since I2 and maybe before, I'm not sure if they added in Spanky's Boardwalk in TI after I2.

Edit, Hurray for Gil coming back. And I look foward to seeing the rest of this series of articles.

But Gil, if I could make a personal request, do General Hammond next. Please.

Seriously, why do my contacts still think its a good idea to give her Li Kuah Tehs Eldrict Spatula of Grue-slaying anyway?

Azuira secretly hates all heroes because they ruined her personal life. She has cast compulsion spells on all the contacts in the city so when ever they come in contact with a magic artifact they immedately think Azuria should have it. She then calls the CoT or whoever and tells them where to find it.

Thanks folks! I'm looking forward to doing many more "Beyond Contact" articles.
