So how long do you think this guys character will last before it gets hit with the Mod stick?









I feel a disturbance in the force . . . It's as if a thousand GM's hit the generic button at the same time.

So shiny and after he/she typed in all that bio information too.

In my dark twisted evil heart I'm hoping that he/she is using the AE to farm him up to 50 before someone petitions him. That will make the generic so much sweeter.

I always thought that generic'ing a character was something that happened while the character was offline (much like your subscription running out doesn't boot you off immediately, but refuses to let you log in again until you resub). However, I was on a sewer team with someone when suddenly their name in the team window changed and their costume became a default black.

I am under the impression most things within a GM's power can be done at any time... it's just that a lot of times the violator in question doesn't happen to be online when the GM/Mod takes action.

That is easily the most blatant case of trademark infringement I have seen yet. They did a good job on the costume though.

I would petition that one, and I'm not especially petition-happy (I only petition blatant cases)

Maybe. I am roasting some in the corner. Would you like a chunk?

Blatant attempts, "obvious" attempts at trying to get around the rules, or just plain offensive characters (usually relegated to racial slurs/racism/sexism, etc) are pretty much the only things I petition as well. Name, costume, bio... it doesn't matter to me. If any of those things crosses the line as I define it: petition fired.

No, I no longer have pet rats. They just don't live as long as I would like my pets to live.

Unless you were talking about Forbin... In which case, I would have to say that I am not sure what his avatar is, let alone what it smells like.

The Avatar is "Foamy the Squirrel", an angry little animated cartoon. You can find many of his cartoons on You Tube. Very funny but not for the kiddies.

Honestly, he might last quite awhile. I wouldn't have petitioned him had I not read his bio. The thing he's ripping off is obscure enough that I wouldn't know it was a ripoff.

You'd be surprised at the number of players that can spot obscure literary references. I can't explain why I recognized the character because I haven't read an Avengers comic in over 20 years. When I did buy comics I read Sgt. Rock, Ghost Rider, and X-Men. So I was surprised that I recognised the character.

I was just thinking the same thing. He appeared in 3 different decades of Avengers titles at least and was the chairman at least for one stint, if I recall.

Not like he's the Prowler or Stilt-Man or something....

20 years ago, wasn't he still Magneto's son-in-law?

As a matter of fact I only remember one panel from an Avengers comic. Vision was phasing into the unconscious body of one of the other Avengers . . . That's all I remember.

Hmm...
Where: Name+Costume+(Bio or Powersets)=3, he has hit my "2 or more out of 3" threshold. Gee, pal, you clocked on [I Agree], then chose not to agree.
No fault but your own for the consequences.

He was also ripped on mercilessly in Twisted Toyfare Theatre, which is from whence I know him. And some Thunderbolts.

Wow... he (or she) did a great job.

I'm surprised the toon made it to level 3 without getting zapped.

Note the time I started the thread. That was maybe 5 minutes after I took the screenshot.

Still, I remember the early days of CoH, where you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a Hulk, Wolverine, or Tick clone.

I tend to warn people before petitioning them.

I've a feeling that one might last a bit. A lot of players might not recognise the character.

Just last weekend I saw a very well done Wonder Woman clone. Named Diana the Amazon or some such.

I don't petition generally. There are plenty of tattletales that already will. I figure it just clogs the GM's inbox.

The Vision _was_ the Avengers at one point in time...the rest of them were just guest stars in his book. For almost 100 isssues (93 through 184 of their original series), the figure of the Vision was part of the title's logo, he was that iconic to the team.
