Pointless. Just crap on the teleporter, then teleport it to The Hollows. No one will notice and in time the Gulch will be refilled.

The shocker is that it came from Cricket not Cuppa .

I have come to expect Cricket postings = bad news, and Cuppa postings = good ones.

[/ QUOTE ]you know, this could be a hysterical new contact pairing to add to the game, the contact is cuppajo, or some variation therein so that its obvious its referencing her, and every mission you have to talk to an insect themed superheroine krikkit. anyhow how it would work is every time you contact cuppa, she gies you this rosey description of this teeny tiny job states has and she tells you about all the cool artifacts, and heroic deeds associated with it, and then sends you to krikkit, who then reacts astonished to the description you got and proceeds to tell you about all the baddies and monsters, basicly lets you know that this is very likely the end of life in the universe as we know it , or how the good event has gone horribly wrong. example follows.

cuppa:good news rian frostdrake, the freedom phlanx recognizes your tireless dedication to justice, and thinks you could use a friend to help you unwind after a hard day's work, so we got you a puppy, states wanted you to have it, ask krikket where hes being stored so you can pick him up.

Krikket: bad news, the puppy played with luminary too long , hes now a mutated 8 foot tall warwolf, you ahve to go defeat him before he eats kings row.
(note: this could actually be used to unlock a "decorative" base item, a nameable pet warwolf who just walks around looking menacing, ala creature handlers pets in their houses in star wars galaxies)
example 2.
C:the freedom phlanx has an oppertunity to get more in touch with nature, ask krikkit about it
K: devouring earth...lots of them, bring friends..and a lenient health care plan.
ex3
C: we want you to meet someone , shes out of this world
K: Rikti eleit boss, and shes a magus, who was your next of kin again?

i figure it could be funny wether you get the reference or not. Whaddaya say?

And your team will no longer have to avoid 'that corner' in the base.....

[/ QUOTE ]

Technically, if you have a teleporter, you don't really need a toilet

Obviously, you've never tried building a fully functional base.

hey, it only took us... how months has it been now?

[/ QUOTE ]

Be careful about adding new stuff now, the rent could get to be more than our income...

Per person? OMG... That's a lot of free prestige.

It doesn't matter if you spend it or not. You are going to pay rent on it. Banked Prestige isn't except from rent.

Meh. Whether we spend it or not, we'll be charged upkeep for it. Worst case scenario is that we'd need to pawn some of the new base items at some point in the future.

Im glad Im a soft heart and cant stand booting people... lol max SG members BOOYA!!! 1.5mil baby!

Logged in today with my SG of myself and a couple others (as well as tons of retirees) earning 700k new prestige.

It's sort of amusing: Yesterday I was talking to my friend about how excited I was about the new base stuff they're coming up with... now I don't even need it.

*Laugh* Yeah - we do have a good cop - bad cop vibe at times. But hey - she's much better at bad cop than I am - she was a GM.

It all makes sense....

Caffiene == Good

Bugs == Bad

I see an idea for a villian and hero co-operitive mission arch set in Pocket D.

To add.

Cricket and Cuppajo contacts addressing a hamidon raid.


Cuppajo:Good news, you get to have lots and lots of free Lime Jello, and lots of nature around you as well.
Krikket:Horrible news, this gianormous bacterial monster known as hamidon has resurfaced and killed over 22,000 heros. I need you to go in and take him out. Since you can only move in as a team of 8, Statesman will be renforcing you, however he's bringing in the Nerf bat to help, so for the love of god don't bring any regen scrappers near the fireing area.

The prestige was added to the supergroup. It won't show up under each character's row in the SG window.

[/ QUOTE ]

That makes much more sense.

Also, I should sleep before I read things, or something.

One drawback of the internet is how it has trained so many people to think that one day is a long time.

... You are a sad person.

As long as they were active, why kick them?

You realize that somepeople collect badges, right, and there happen to be some for influence?

Ahh, see my groups only kick if we're out of room, and then only enough people to fit in the new alts.

Anyone not get their 20k prestige? I sure didn't

It was added to the SG in one lump sum, not listed on each players earnings. The total of the SG's prestige on the settings screen should reflect the bonus.

Same lol I booted the people that were like 20+ days without signing in last week. Not sure of the amount, but shrug.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yet another reason to restructure the SG system to apply the cap to 75 Players instead of 75 Characters. Just have the system check the Global name and if it's already in the Group under another character it won't be counted towards the 75 member limit. On the other hand, I'm really glad I made two new characters to try out different builds last week and got them entered into the SG I"m a member of.

Devs would post more if they could say "hi!" without people whining because they wanted them to say "hello".

Sleep? That's a waste of play time. Something to do at work I suppose.

total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Just make sure to label them properly.

Pfft. You don't need both. Just get the teleporter. It'll function well enough as a toilet, too.

Woo! My little group just won the lottery! Free prestige!!! Free prestige!!!

(one month later)

*flipping through bills*
MY RENT IS HOW MUCH??!? Oh dear god! We'll never be able to cover that! Well, there's only one way out now...

(to see our Super Group base, ride the Yellow Line to Steel Canyon, get off the train and turn right. there's a brown multi-story building there... just wait a few moments and see what we had to do to cover our debt...)
