*confesses*
Neither have I, Mr Green Jet. But then I'm very insular and tend to team within my own circle of friends and my coalition chums. The same is true of Terra, having been introduced to the game by a friend and going straight into a tight-knit community.
Whilst I know that there are some truly elite players "out there" in the world of CoH, if someone were to list their names to me I'd not be able to tell them from 1st week newcomers either.
Sorry if that offends anyone, I'm just shy and retiring like that 
it's ok I know of Green Jet and can tell you that he's no n00b 
Green Jet's one of us old geezers of the forum and Game from waaaay back.
*Edit; notices post count. 
*cough, cough*, er, Aeronaut.
Hmm.. You lot STILL here? Damn.. I need a bigger gun..

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

That was never in question, Halo I wasn't making a "judgement" on it either way. If anyone said "I've been playing this game for 30 years and have a 146 level 50s" I'd almost believe them... so "I'm not a newb" is good enough for me
I was merely trying to "explain" (if you will) the potentially insulting habit I myself have of not "recognising" people who either I should recognise, or who feel themselves that they should be recognised.
This Mr Green Jet, however, displays masterful use of the forums and getting his point across in a readable way (including compensation for mis-reading emotive intent) and so I'd decided he was "cool" by the end of his first post
But regardless, I'm still not 100% behind the whole "teaming outside my coalition" thing. I find the concept unsettling. DON'T ask me why - it may very well be that I'm insane. Or phobic. I can tell you that I'm an unsociable swine in "real life" who doesn't like to go out, let alone make new friends. I guess everything is always "via introduction" with me - I've never made a friend on here accidentally, as it were.
I guess I'm just a freak. Ignore me at your leisure.
@SWAT: Im not alone! 
I met Green Jet for the first timelast night: About all I can tell you is that his stone tank has very fetching orange pants. They may even rival Jum's.
Eeek! This I guess is what happens if you don't use smileys in your posts... . I would really hate it if people thought I was in any way getting serious! In the spirit of my first post in this thread I was being a little bit sarcy and nothing more. I certainly wasn't doing the Forum equivalent of Z-list celeb shouting in a Maitre D's face saying loudly "Do you know WHO I AM?" when they can't get a table.
Just to clarify, I am noone special. There is absolutely no reason why Terra or Swat or any other of these fine people should have heard of me, I have been playing the game and sticking to my own teams (much in the same way as Swat described) for the last year or so. There is probably only about a dozen people who post on these forums that I have ever teamed with.
The Green Jet is not famous, or Uber or Elite or anything. He is a reasonably well balanced scrapper who I have enjoyed playing for quite a while. He is not the first to do anything ingame and he never will be.
Regarding the tendency for us all to be a bit insular Swat, I'll try and say hi the next time you are on Team Speak (IIRC, I have seen you pop up on the server a few times )
And finally, I sincerely apologise for any contribution I have made to derailing this thread; it was just an innocent hello from a regular forumite and I went and stuck my nose in. So sorry and... as you were.
AS long as we're alowwed spots on another excellent team like last night then you're forgiven
It was a shame I had to go last night; that team was shaping up to be pretty awesome!
I know everyone.
...Apart from the new people...
World of Jackcraft.
That reminds me Chives, it won't be too much longer untill I'm 50 (by my standards anyway)... Looking foward to a round in the arena, if you're still up for it?
I think this thread has just spread fear throughout the community. We all thought that our post counters were safe until this came up.
Its best if i don't comment on all these posts flying about, especially the sarcastic ones, im good at that

Well. Last night I planned a serious gaming session with some of the guys and had everything ready. Then to my horror I couldn't get online. At all!! I tried in vain to sort it out but the B%£@@!D wouldn't work. This left me feeling very [censored]. I ended up watching Backlash on sky sports. yay the joy.

hé i wouldn't mind beating them again.
anyway, i noticed that the forum is becoming a bit dull.
IMO there's less postings compared to 6 months ago.
I believe that when I7 goes live the post count will go up a bit, but the posts aren't all that much fun as they've been in the past.
anyone else experiencing this?
