Lil Knight and Lil Hawk are ready for Hero Camp. Athyna doesn't really translate to boys... neither does Lady... *ahem* So we're going with Daddy's moniker, Cpt. KnightHawk.

Aw, that's so cute, and I'm so glad I read the OP.
On the other hand it makes feel all weird inside, after trying to get a friend into the game for months, and them never getting it.
"I want to reduce the recharge time on this power. I slot End Reduction enhancements to do that, right?"
"What? No, those reduce the endurance cost."
"Well what reduces recharge time then?"
...Recharge reduction enhancements?

This was a 20+ old, after playing for 6 months.
Teaches you how to read my... bottom.

LOL! Now that really sounds like a smart question.. Considering he never takes off his armor... Can just picture him standing there in Steel with Valk grumbling.. Valk asking "What's wrong??" and posi responding "I knew I shouldn't have had that Super Big Gulp between Server updates this morning!"

Thus the quote - when Posi takes a leak, he levels a city block.

Thank you so much for making this thread and for all the positive responses.
Sign me up for the Sister Flame Fan Club. It might even get me to play on Freedom *shudder*.
As others have said, I just had a particularly bad day yesterday and this thread has allowed me to gain some serious perspective on life.
Rock On Sister Flame!

This is an awesome thread and an adorable story, OP! Cute stories in the replies, too!
Youngsters are great for storytelling challenges too. Let my lil bro use the creator one day and got a three page origin out of his design alone.

And the one that says "He should have slotted for hold duration."
Chase, if you read this, you should make a comic starring Sister Flame, Hero 2, and Positot.
Well, time for another Flame comment. It's addictive talking about your kids, isn't it?
People asked me when Flame started to play and I have to say at 4 1/2. She'd sit on my lap and I do the "I'll drive, you shoot" thing with her. After about 8 weeks, she was ready to take the wheel and could get around by herself.
That's when I found out one account for three people really limits the person who _pays_ for the acount's playing time (but I am a pushover, so my girls could play and I would sit and watch).
Flame really got to learn how to move around the CoX world by goign swimming. In Atlas Park, there is the small lake near the train station. Flame's favorite past time was to head there and swim around. She'd spend pretty much all her time doing that.
One day, she learned that the Devs have a tendency to update the game. She headed to the pool with her proud level 10 toon and prepared to splash around. I'm sitting on the bed reading a comic when I hear this.
"There are theifers in my pool." Flame growls. "I'm gonna take them down!"
"What's that honey?" I asked.
I looked at the screen and sure enough there are two or three Hellions sitting around the base of the statue.
"Those are Hellions, honey." I tell her.
Flame thinks for a minute and looks up at me. "Are they bad guys?"
"Yep." I answered.
The next sounds I heard was Flame cutting lose with her flame based powers and yelling for the Hellions to "Get out of her pool." and "I am gonna fire you!". I cheered her on and her other two sisters came to see what the commotion was (in case they were missing out on something). She was such an excitable child at 5 1/2.
Hard to believe she is going to be the big 7 in a few weeks. Also hard to believe she's got a level 20 hero and a level 9 villian.
You should hear about the time her and the ten year old spent the better part of an hour in Pocket D "betting" on the monkey fights. You could have swore I was watching a million dollar horse race.
Keep on truckin...

Yes, how about a giant oscillator monster to go with it. We don't have ANY flying GM's yet.
Ok...I give...I have to share.
):
My 6 year old daughter has watched me play CoX for the better part of 3 years (much to my wife's consternation!) and definately has her own ideas about why this game is great.
Sooooo, without further ado....a few of her favorite things (sing along
Watching her daddy beat up all the "bad guys"....
Booing the villains, especially the "big eyes"....
Staring in wonder at people with wings....
These are a few of her favorite things.
Dancing with catgurls with bright colored whiskers....
Yelling like Tarzan and watching pink twisters....
Opening presents of confetti and strings....
These are a few of her favorite things.
The huge "lollipop" that makes monsters "go floppy"....
Trying to guess just how Posi goes poddy....
Wondering why I am glowing and green....
These are a few of her favorite things.
When the wolf howls....
When the ghost screams....
When things are looking bad...
She simply remembers her favorite things....
and then she just smiles......at dad.
That's what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown...(man, I love this game.)
