Hey all!

I just wanted to let you all know, a couple of our features haven't disappeared forever. Behind the Mask and the handy table of contents will be back.

Due to a busy schedule for me this week and a behind the scenes reformatting of the Scoop (to make future issues even better!) resulted in neither of these features making it into this issue on time.

They should return next issue.

Sorry to hear about the big shake up but hope all those that left are going on to positive things. Great job on all the old and new sections. I especially liked the awesomely funny City of Zeroes strip and The City Traveler. Taxibot Belle has my new favorite costume of all time. LiquidX was hilarious as always. Keep em coming people.

No article on the Triumph SG Fair last weekend? It was a lot of fun... too bad there's nothing on it. I was kind of looking forward to reading the writeup.

What I find funny is this:

[ QUOTE ]

Then, Mindripper asked about a favorite villain group, the 5th Column. That question garnered a big, fat YES! They shall return! Mr. Ripper reports he had the impression the 5th would return in Issue 11. That’s just an impression--no confirmation. Just more grist for the Mill.


[/ QUOTE ]

They've been saying 'The 5th will be back' for two years now.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Yeah, they have. The 5th, unknown to the rest of humanity, have admitted to being horrible procrastinators.

Ok, joke over. If they have planned all along for them to come back, as they've said, then why not say the 5th are coming back? Granted, it might not be the next issue or in the next 5 issues, but that doesn't mean it'll never happen.

I imagine there'll be much fanfare when it does finally happen. As for when, the thread I gathered the info from for that article had no specific hints so I have no idea.

Oh, I've no doubt you did your best on info gathering.

It's just that, to me, any comment that 'The 5th will return' is suspect simply because they have been saying it so long and it's yet to materialize.

I think it was Manticore that said way back when, that the 5th will return.

And ever since, every issue we get our hopes up, only to never see them come back.

Edit - While it's one thing to say things like EATs get backburnered, storyline advancements such as the return of the 5th shouldn't get bumped back for anything less than massive bugs and stuff that needs to be patched.

Given that we've seen probably the limit of sweeping, widescale changes that affect the core mechanics of the game (Special ED, GDN, Inventions, PvP, Villains), there is simply no real reason to delay bringing them back or for continual storyline advancements, IMO.

Oh Man That would bring the game around nicely maybe even the 5th as lvl 50 Villains That would so rock. Please infighting again Column vs Council and maybe even a working Giant Robot attack, which would be soooo cool.
