Edition 19 of "The City Scoop!" a publication for Supers by Supers!

Squeaking off the presses with the l33t skillz of Dirtwolf we have the latest edition of The City Scoop! It seems that an unforeseeable accident in the press room left Mantid caught in a bind of super glue and rubber bands. So you may see some errors and format changes to this week’s edition of the Scoop but they wanted to roll it out and we will head back in when able to clean up some portions as they are able to do so.

Leading off this week we have guest writer Xury2 from the PWNZ section who as on assignment at the Austin NCsoft Meet & Greet event. He did a great job at doing a wide scale coverage of the event and included some really great shots. Also in this edition we have the winners of the Mr/Ms Paragon/Rogue Isles Contest from Infinity, Freedom, and Pinnacle, events will be held tomorrow for Champion, Justice, and Liberty. So far word from the Player Event Resource Committee is that everyone is having a blast!

That was the best edition of the City Scoop i've ever read. Xury definately gets a SUPER HIGHSCORE!!! for such an amazing article on the NCSoft Meet & Greet.

This scoop also had some really awesome artwork in it. Mad props to all who worked on it.

Xury's piece was pure /win. Towards the end of reading it i was wondering where the meatspin or rickroll was... and then i found it.

I laughed, I cried, and I peed a little.

Well played City Scoopers. Well played.

I'm presuming it SHOULD read "The door comes to those who have travelled".

Athy, it's the series of longs and shorts at the top of the first page. Here's the quote of the original:

-.... . / -.. --- --- .-. / -.-. --- -- . ... / - --- / - - .... . / -.. --- --- .-. / -.-. --- -- . ... / - --- / - .... --- ... . / .-- .... --- / .... .- ...- . / - .-. .- ...- . .-.. . -..

But what is it?

Look, I've said before in our little private place. I'm so -not- tech savy. The fact that I can turn on the pc and get to the internet is, as far as the hubby is concerned, a miracle.

What the hell is that?!?! No! I don't know!

Probably. But that requires effort. I find The Google is much easier at providing stuff like this to solve my everyday morse code problems.

So, Editors: Pony up. You drop in a Morse Code message at the top; change some of the symbols to red for some reason; and either intentionally botch the paste, or need to learn some CTRL-V skillz cuz the original version is kinda odd. What gives?

Yeah, yeah, "how did that get there", okay, Arctic Sun lives, oooooh, ghosts in the GUI telling me to kill my neighbor, now I got bad fortune cookie messages in the newspaper. What's next, Turg's next contact is a Teddy Ruxpin telling me "to achieve Nirvana, you must kill everyone in Uruguay"?



...hey, Uruguay's in South America, and so is that 5th Column base that Recluse raided... coincidence? I think NOT!

The earth shook, and the heavens cried out. A chill swept across the room, and the lights exploded. Suddenly a circle, etched in infernal runes appeared next to me. In the center of the circle, a demonic began to rise from it, carrying with it the souls of the damned, screaming their terrible song.

I said excuse me. Dinner plus Guinness does funny things sometimes.


Be well, people of CoH.

Hey Bill, I almost made you a large front page picture with horns and stuff. I thought it'd be funny, but I didn't want you to think it was mean

There used to be a bit more zombies :P

Glad I could help you guys.

Oh, I knew you'd get a kick out of that. Your pic turned out so well though, I had to write something good for it.

I dug it a lot, Xury. Sometimes red-eye is a GOOD thing.
