Lekto went in to a spiraling state of depression after the final and hasn't been seen since, but he is waiting to bounce back! He's still 19, and has had only very limited experience in the world outside of the arena (99% of his levelling was done in the old Dreck missions.. hehe)
Gis a shout when you login dude and we'll hook something up..
20 min Cavern sounds good to me.. ;D

Ya know, in New Zealand we have something similar, called Weet Bix.
The main differences are the corners aren't shamelessly removed from the corners of ours, and recycled into other blocks to bloat their output (and therefore income), and ours taste goood 
[/ QUOTE ]
Weetabix is made 2 miles down the road from me, I used to work there.. The difference between the square and the ones with the corners "shamelessly removed" is the machine that bakes them. The square ones are a lot less compact and are not baked as well as the normal ones, which makes them quick and cheap to produce..
Next time you're in Tescos have a look which ones are square and which have the corners removed..

Wow, nicely random 'digging up old posts' post dude
Check it out:
L&P
*retches at the thought of the horrible black tar also*
Seriously, I can't stand marmite here! It's... *shudder*. But if you've ever tried Vegemite, that is far more similar to NZ/OZ marmite than the marmite here is
I've never bought anything of that link above, but I have been tempted... It's all imported from South Africa/New Zealand/Aistralia, so it's all way overpriced of course. A 355ml can for 99p? In NZ, that can would cost the equiv of 40pm at a guess.
Some great NZ food that I occasionally think 'omg I could do with some of that!':
Griffins Gingernuts (like ginger-flavoured CONCRETE! I'm not even kidding 
)
Watties Spaghetti (Watties is owned by Heinz, but the taste and texture is completely different!)
L&P
Real new zealand ice cream. I don't really do Ice cream, but when I want some, feel sorry for you brits...
I'm sure there is more, but they have slipped my mind if so
I went home to NZ over xmas. First thing I did when in NZ airport was pick up a bottle of L&P . In one hotel down there they had 'spaghetti' as a breakfast, I was like 'omg, spaghetti! I haven't had that in over a year! Is it watties? Or crappy heinz :S'. Mmm that was good.
Of course, the food was very far down the list of reasons to go then , it was of course summer time there
Ok back to the SG!
Welcome to the group J Dogg. If anyone sees Lekto, a little level 19 blaster running around the halls of our SG, say hi
Marmite is just wrong in my opinion, whoever invented it had a sick twisted mind.
Have you tried a drink called Dandelion & Burdock? I don't know where it comes from but it is an acquired taste (like marmite) some love it some hate it. I don't mind it myself...
I will be on tonight but a little later than last night, probably about 9ish... I've got my PB if there is room in the SG too, only about lvl 12 at the minute...
I'm not sure if anyone 'invented' marmite. They sort of scrapped it off something I think, as a practical joke.
Never heard of your drink, might take a look.
Shouldn't be a problem getting your PB into the SG mate. I'm off to the movies tonight, probably back around 9.30/10, a good time to catch ya it seems
We've got a decent amount at 12/13/14, which we pull out every now and then
Laters all.

Marmite is a by-product of the brewing industry and originates from one of the major breweries in my home town .(Bass Brewery / now Coors). It's a smelly town with Nestles chocolate and Marmite and Hops.
L&P sounds nice I know what lemon is but the other fruit? I'll give it a go maybe as long as the other ingredient isn't some weird hallucinogenic Polynesian plant .
As for Dandelion and Burdoch, for me it's blaargh and I mean blaargh we are talking vomit bags here
Well I shall probably be trying to get my lowest alt towards the 20 but might get bored and get DK out and head towards the 30mill influence I'm aiming on accumulating.
Cya later guys and if your PB is on before Tech is back J Dogg, and I'm on with Death Kiss, then I'll send you an SG invite.

lol, I don't know of any weird hallucinogenic plants, at least non that aren't available most places in the world.
L&P = Lemon and Paeroa. Paeroa is a small town in New Zealand, and originally the soft drink used to be basically a lemon drink with Paeroa spring water. Now they've syrupised the unique taste and we're slowly introducing the rest of the world to the flavour . I'm always tempted to get my family to ship over a crate so my mates here at work can try some, heh. I bought a pack of Gingernuts from a New Zealand shop (for an extortionate price!) and handed them out here. Everyone was impressed that they basically couldn't bite into them, until they had been soaked in tea for a solid 5minutes . I wish they were here in the UK. Definitely my favourite biscuit ever, sigh.
Good plan Blade dude, bring J Doggs alts into the SG. Just be careful that Puma isn't on when you do so... Ya know sometimes I'm glad she doesn't frequent these boards! She'll likely tear you a new one if someone unknown joins without her knowing first. I get away with it because... well, I already explained that last night on TS I'm sure.
Hrm, this makes 5 'J's in our SG (me, Blade, J Dogg, Dutch, and Cleo is a J too). Trendesque.
That reminds me, did that random guy that Cleo invited into the SG end up sticking around? I haven't seen him pop up for a while now, still haven't had a chance to be properly introduced and put him through 'The Initiation'.
Muahahaha!
Bleach joined us with a new alt also, I forget the name now. Maugli or something. Will be interesting to team with all these new faces sometime soon
Laters all.
What you going to watch mate? I'm awaiting X-Men 3 so badly!
There you go, see Marmite is a 'by product' meaning it's the [censored] left over, and therefor should be fed to diseased cattle in my opinion.. lol
I'll log in as lekto when I come on and see who's about and introduce myself to those I ain't met yet...
Do yo uguys PvP very often? I wouldn't mind kickin some [censored] tonight if anyone is up for it?
What's 'The Initiation' then? Should I be worried? lol

Us J's have to stick together .
Welcome to the SG J_Dogg, be sure Puma doesn't bite you on the way in . She cool to you if you are nice to her .
I'm sure I'll be playing tonight... Realy! Darn that new game I got yesterday is realy addictive. played until 3:30 my time 
Catch ya later marras!
Greetings D.

I quite like J Doggs avatar
Though really it should be a pic of a dog, with a little cape, and a 'J' on his chest... Go J Dogg, do it!
As for myself. Eventually, maybe
I love my avatar..
What game did you get yesterday Dutch?
I've been considering of getting Guild Wars Factions myself, anyone played it?
I got Fable- The lost Chapters
Man, it's addictive

Ah nice, I completely agree, I had a load of fun in that game. It pulled me off CoH for a while actually, no other game (including Oblivion - very meh) can say the same.
Not a bad night last night. I do enjoy running around as Tech . I mentioned to J Dogg about ED, so I think his 6-slotted damage has been changed to acc/end/rech or something now, heh.
Dogg if you're reading this, you should find out more info about it all. I really don't like ED. My main grief with it is that if you want to slot well when you are lower levels, you NEED to respec a lot of slots around again when you move into SOs, and that is just dumb, in my opinion. Bah. Example would be an Invuln's Resist Physical Damage. 6 slot it with resist damage DOs to be max useful, then when you get SOs 3 of those slots are pretty much redundant, and would be better used elsewhere now. Shrug. Take a look at the player questions section, maybe.
In other news, we are relatively quickly catching up to another 1.3million prestige. In short order I'd like to pick up a Supercomputer, to replace our ageing mainframe and databases, and to make the Mega Monitor that I created useful, and that will free up the extra control room that I made to hold the Mega Monitor until we can use it. When I created it (using a LOT of salvage ), I didn't realise that I couldn't attach it to the Mainframe, grr. I might have a look tonight to see if I can sell the old stuff and afford the Supercomputer.
The base as a whole isn't really that useful though, heh, really only the teleporters and hospital. I'm hoping that we can upgrade to the next plot size in the near future. It does feel a little cramped... Shrug.
Anyway, anyone got plans for tonight? I was thinking of taking out our 28-32s, and cleaning them up a bit, if anyone is keen. We really need to work on the Hunters too a bit later, if you guys are keen to switch about 9.30+ish, could be a plan. Black Lace came on for a little while last night while I was chatting with J Dogg, she's almost 39 nice. We have to move our little ones up to catch up to her I think , then we can all play together again!
So give us a yell if anyone will be around. I should be home from 6.30ish.
Coolies.

I have 3 villains on Union but in a separate SG from these guys :-
1) Despiser lvl39 Claws/Ninja Stalker
2) Icy Cull lvl 34 Ice?ice Dominator
3) Death Rattler lvl 25 Dark/Dark Corruptor ( Movable to other SG as created to team with a friend who left )
Also a themed villain on Defiant which we have set up as a common first costume and toon name and one of the power sets having to be a dark power which limits the archtype choice.
Although I have the 4 villains, I don't play it that often but the thematic villains can be lots of fun. I'm sure you would be welcome to create one (we have the costume specs and will give a choice of names to choose if this is ok with the other leaders)
We aren't adverse to helping members get up to our level either

Yup we allways sk when asked. Espeacily with the themed SG.
I'm keen on "dusting of" my Dutch C. .
Allthougt... Must play CoH instead *twitches*
Anyway nearly the weekend which is a good thing for those of us who do not have to work.
Anything going on ? Any plans ?
I wouldn't mind getting Red Earth to 32 and I'm sure theres a few 31s in the clan who might be wanting to get their 32 power.
I have my katana/invul scrapper climbing up the charts to get to the level of Storm and Ice which would be another good teaming group.
I have Red Cleaver my tanker at 14 and I noticed we have 2 or 3 others at that level (of different archtypes?) a quartet.
I have Red Vision my Ill/Rad itching to get a phantom army.
We have the hunters for the early/late time winding up/down times and I still have my defiant scrapper at lvl 9 and still no SG invite (how odd is that?)
Plenty of things to choose from maybe the possibility of a TF or perhaps everyone has other plans .... it is the weekend after all
Well I'm up for what the majority would like to do (if anything) so if their are any ideas throw them out here.
Later guys Blade
When, where and what toon?
As I told you last night I'm probaly not on tonight and after my work tomorow, I can do whatever I like yay! (long live a week without parents )
Ofcourse I would be playing Fable aswell but that's ok sometimes you just need a break from CoX.
I have to say sorry bout TS lately, tho sometimes I seem to tune out this week, probaly because my sleep hasn't been optimal .
Anyways I love to hear your plans .
Greetings D.
Weekends are good.
I've got that movie which we didn't see which was movied to the weekend, still not got an exact time yet, need to check movie sites first. So might be doing that for a little while.
I think getting you guys to 32 is a great idea. Maybe I can bring Satisfaction on tonight and help yas with that. Depends on what Puma is doing or wants to do too though.
Yup our 20s should be ready to roll sometime too. Ice Wish and Storm Kick haven't been out for a while now, when Red Cutman (your names are boring btw) gets there we might pull them out more. But personally I'm happy just playing our higher ones, and then coming back to them later for our next push. That way the game doesn't get so stale as playing the same stuff over loads of characters. Shrug.
I've got -
Shrug: 13, looking forward to travel powerage.
Hot Pants: 15, good for helping 11s to 14 it appears .
Poweramp: 19, blappy goodness almost getting his cape.
Ice Wish: 20, fun, perma duo with Storm Kick.
Electrosity: 22, fun blaster, need to put more time into really.
S Dude: 25, controller (other SG) - You guys know who I mean.
Dark Bubble: 27 as of last night, almost fully SOd up on less than 900k inf, happy with that .
Satisfaction: 32, hmm wonder if he's SOd up.
<yet to be named>: <nada>, Claws/SR scrapper I intend to play 'In Character' with this lot, should be interesting.
And the 50s, and a villain.
Heh, so pretty well spread bunch really.
I'm up for most anything. Would be keen to do a 30-35ish TF this weekend, if we can swing it. Maybe Sunday? I don't remmeber when you're going to do your final push with your villain there Blade.
Anyway, I'll catch yas later this evening. If anyone has any ideas for what to do, give us a post about it
Tech trying our Roleplay!?
What alternate dimension was I transported in???
*looks arround for the nearest portal corp station*
I wonder if I can fly in this dimension.....
On a serious note sounds nice Tech. Hmmm I might role a toon...

It will probably be somwhere in the range of 6pm - 8pm (18:00-20:00) but I think it will be in the later time range say half seven ish. Will confirm this, because it's a SF planned and would like to make sure I can complete our TF before I have to go.
Wouldn't want to miss out on it but it doesn't matter if I have to leave and you finish it without. Hey we've done more than one TF twice together I'm sure we'll do it again.
As to about tonight, I'd like to have a go with Red Vision but really don't mind what we do. It's been fun playing the 50s. Dutch hasn't finished Fable yet so he's probably Coh AFK (man he loves his axe) (could have put something else in their thats a bit rude in the UK but thought I better not)
Laters Blade
Hiya, yeah I needed played around with my Enhancing on Dogg cos I couldn't keep my endurance up, then you told me about the ED thing and I think i've got him slotted better now. One question though, a few of my invuln powers can only be slotted with 1 type of Enhancement, with these powers would it be better to respec the slots out and leave 3 in there, or can these powers be 6 slotted?
I've got Poker on Saturday night, and may be busy tonight, but Sunday I should be on, hopefully all day so i anyone would be up for a TF then count me in (preferably not Synapse or Positron) although i'd still join in.
Gonna list my toons below so you got a rough idea if anyone ever needs one to help a team..:
J Dogg - 50 Claw/Invuln Scrapper
Blizzard. - 24 Ill/Storm Troller
J Shade - 22 tri form W/S
Badge Hunter - 21 Rad/Rad Defender
Lekto - 19 En/En Blaster
Shadow Wizard - 16 Elec/Emp Defender
Unknown Spirit - 12 P/B
Ninja Flame - 10 Fire/Fire Tanker
I think I have another couple of very low lvl toons too but can't remember names/powers as I rarely use em.
Unknown Spirit and Shadow Wizard are currently not in any Sg if you would like them in Ascended...?
Mmm, not doing much hero-wise recently. Still trying the test server out and, to be honest, Ashen's very slow at levelling at the moment. Still stuck on 28, but I'm getting there slowly.
Friends are just enemies that haven't betrayed you yet.

I just can't wait to read his bio
Could it be this ?
A weird New Zealand games programmer Jeremy Curtis (currently based in London), frustrated at having to sit in front of his monitor for over ten hours day after day, just couldn't take any more. In an act of sheer rage brought on by his frustrations, he rammed his head into his 21inch inferior CRT monitor.
The electric shock, combined with the three micro chips that had somehow got lodged into his skull caused a cyborg metamorphosis and changed him into a technological fighting machine (he was coding a fighting game program at the time).
He now patrols Paragon, wearing just a towel, looking for a decent projector to display his heroic actions on his apartment wall.
(disclaimer - please note that shoving your head into a monitor doesn't actually cause these changes. I tried earlier)
Lmao, just nearly got busted AGAIN for having the forums open at work cos I started cracking up out loud reading that!
My work isn't that interesting that I would be laughing at my monitor so people know i'm up to something dodge! lol

we'd need to keep track of kill counts though 
He is Ice/En now, as I really didn't care much for a lot of the Energy blasts. Shrug.
Hey, if you're taking Poweramp out, i'll bring Lekto along if you need some numbers.. hehe. He's a it rusty though.. ;D

Yeah dude that would be mint
Poweramp is the lvl 19 blaster that I was talkin about taking on Synapse and Posi with ya
