She is still deciding if she wants it to be a "Sister Flame has been kidnapped by Clockworks and you have to rescue her so she'll fight with you" arc or "Sister Flame needs help to find her missing friends.". We've even tossed the idea of a Clockworks Civil War where a rival power has taken control of some of them and is going up against the Clockwork King. I think she's leaning toward the first one because she thinks a lot of people want to play with her (so she says 
).

I had not kept up with the thread in a while. Still great.
SIGN SEEN AT MISSION DISPATCH ON OPENING DAY OF i14:
"Your wait time for the Sister Flame Clicky-Clack Mission Arc is Two Hours from this point."
The heroes will be stretched around the building to help Sister Flame, dance contest or no. Wait and see.

I will totally be camped out in that line. ^^
Continue to love this thread. Can't wait to get in line for that mission.
_Wyll_ we need an update of some kind. Been kinda bummed lately and this thread always cheers me up.

An update? No problem...
The big update would be that Sister Flame and I have mapped out her plot for her mission in the mission architect. During our little jam sessions, Sister Flame gave her toon a complete background that included an arch enemy with sidekick. I don't want to give away too much right now, but we can give you a taste of the sidekick.
Flame decided that every good villain needs a good sidekick. She came up with a female sidekick named Side Step. Her power? She can see three seconds in the future. How that will translate to the MA... we're working on that, but needless to say, I started putting together a short story based upon what Sister Flame came up with. Being a fresh 8, I'm amazed at the ideas she came up with.
CoX wise, Flame and I pushed our main toons to 25. She has a bit of alt-itis at times, but we buckled down for an hour and pounded out two more levels. The whole reason behind this was so that we could run missions in Croatoa. I casually mentioned that War Witch was there and Sister Flame decided that we needed to go see her ASAP. She was a bit disappointed that War Witch didn't say anything, but she knows that the trainer is just an AI. She also gave me trouble for hitting Sally. I yipped back about her putting the hurt on level 2 Hellions in Atlas Park and she told me that it was not the same.
Flame: "Hellions burn stuff. Skulls break stuff. Sally just swims."
Wyll: "But Sally is a big monster."
Flame: "Yeah, but she was smiling."
Wyll: "Smiling? What?.... She was not!"
Flame: "Did you check?"
Wyll: "Well... no..."
Flame: "Then she was smiling. You don't hit smiling monsters."
There's logic for you.
I do have one funny story about Sister Flame. We were teaming with a PUG and the leader began to make chit chat. He began to ask questions about politics, sports teams and stuff like that. I'm not paying really close attention to it, but suddenly, I see Flame answer a question with a "Yes.". The converstation kept going on with Flame typing in "Why not", "No", "i don't think so" and she had no clue what the leader was asking. The leader had not clue that Flame was just typing random answers. It was like watching someone chat with the old Eliza chat program.
Apart from a bullying problem, which Flame overcame with some help from a few great CoXers, life is pretty much golden for Sister Flame. At her current rate, I figure she'll hit level 50 just before she goes off to college.
Her response? "Cool. That means I can take the laptop with me to play CoX, right?"
Logic... I love it.

This thread is so cute I love reading it
So happy to see some fresh activity, finally, in my all-time favorite forum thread, the only one I have marked as a Favorite.
Best to Sister Flame and all you posse-members out there!

Mayeb I'll get in the mode of posting an update every two to three weeks or so. Like I've said before, I don't know like to take away from the other heavy game related discussion threads (like i14, MA and stuff like that), so I don't bump this thread much myself.
BTW, Sister Flame loves the bear icon and wonders why there are no bears in CoX... especially in the caves. She's pretty sure a bear is more dangerous than CoT.

Always want to be careful though who they are talking to online. Some language can get heated.
I think Wyll pretty much has that under control, Axe.
Glad to hear more news about Sister Flame, I hope MA stories are cross server so i can get I chance to play hers.

This thread is also a favorite of mine and one of the 1st things I chose to show my girlfriend when I introduced her to the game. She now has her own account and I thank Wyll and Sister Flame for their help.

I think I can speak for most of the forum-goers here when I saw that you bumping this thread once a month with an update from Sister Flame and family would not be frowned upon.

Sally does looks sort of like she's smiling, and she's non-hostile. Lots of us shared Flame's objections to attacking her back when she was introduced--I think the activists still have "Save Sally!" in their list. As I recall, we were told that the Red Caps were doing something to Sally, trying to make her into a dangerous monster, whenever she came within their reach. The reason for hitting her, then, was to drive her back under (notice she "dives" rather than dies when hit) where she's safe from the Red Caps.
It's not like one hit from anyone is going to seriously hurt a giant monster--it's more like bopping her with a rolled-up newspaper to make her leave something dangerous alone.
The Way of the Corruptor (Arc ID 49834): Hey villains! Do something for yourself for a change--like twisting the elements to your will. All that's standing in your way are a few secret societies...and Champions of the four elements.
That's exactly it. You are keeping Sally from being taken over by the Red Caps. Just hit her with brawl. There is no way brawl will actually hurt her.

That's priceless. And sig-worthy.
More updates would definitely NOT take away from the other discussions on this board. It's nice to have something heartwarming and non "flamefest".

This thread made my day.

Also... we really do have the best Devs ever. This thread pretty much locked that down for me.

If its from Sister Flame, then wouldn't that be a "Flamefest", by definition? 
I agree though, more updates would be enjoyable.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Yup, I remember digging through my power screen, to put Brawl back into a slot were I could give Sally a little smack.
I also remember a team where we were waiting for someone to exit a mission and enter Croatoa, so we found Sally and coralled her to "swim" onto land. Have some screenshots. Weird.
www.paragonwiki.com is a great source of information for this game.

People used to TP Foe her onto land, too. She can't be teleported any more, and I don't think she'll swim out of the water any more, either.
