If you are Kin, DO YOUR FREAKING JOB. (aka, SB everyone, FS every group). -Defenders do _not_ exist in City of Heroes. If they do, they are gimped blasters. Trollers do just perfectly fine for support. -Never.. i mean never, serious never, mention that it might be better to lower the difficulty a bit to speed things up, you are soooo wrong. Purple mobs equal exp, got it? -As british, dont try funny jokes, they just wont understand -There are no travelpowers, Atlas aint that big! -Learn the 'convert 3 insp into 1' rule, you look stupid when you reply to 'what u need?', 'a rez?'. -Never make jokes about Obama sounds like Osama. Ever. (this apply to forum rules 31: when WW2 is dragged into the conversation, the whole conversation reached its end). -Nobody knows Golden Girl..serious, they dont. (really? Impossible!! i know.. weird people). -Blind teaminvites equals AE missions. -Chimora is actualy populated, it is not a ghost town. -If you do the Chimora TF, pretend u spamming powers, even though the whole time you never see anyone moving (LAAAAAAAG). -If you only do AE, never put enhancements in your powers, you look silly. -The avarage framerate on peekhours in AE Atlas - Freedom is around 0.25. -You never crash, you DC. -Buff random people fighting on the streets, you get very friendly replies (serious). -It is common to use a dot or a misspell in your name, it makes you look 'veteran'. probably more, but this should be enough a |
Wait...
Is it seriously not like this elsewhere??
Can you do transfers from NA to EU servers??
Oh...
And does the following quote apply?
"None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me."
And... adding to the list:
- Don't mention the war (I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it)

A belated Steelclaw Entry to the Belated Guide to the Belated N.A. Side of Belated Things..
Or something like that...
* If you write a serious post about a non controversial subject you will get a few pity replies and then be safely swept along to page 203 or thereabouts.
* In N.A. you need to look out for Post Clones; these suckers are like Tribbles... If one person posts "Dark Toe's Unimportant Letter to the Devs" you can be sure the Post Clones will have up "Rouge Angle's Quasi-Important Dev Letter", "Big Roy's Semi-Serious Missive to the Devs" and "I just wanna feel like part of the fad" threads up faster than Dust Bunnies multiply.
* If you happen to post a silly little thing that you only intended as a joke and for some reason it catches people's attention or imagination ( City of Amusement Park Employees and the Salvage Zodiac come to mind) they will stay on the first page long beyond the point at which they begin to embarass you.
* No matter how many times they're told... someone will ALWAYS want to know then Issue: Current+1 is going to be put out. You could staple a picture of a watch reading "They never announce it until it's here!!" on their wrist and they'll STILL post it. It is my theory that these people secretly feed on abuse and ridicule.
* We guarantee that two to four weeks after a major announcement has been made... after the same period of time during which the forums are absolutely saturated with discussions about the announcement... someone will appear and say "Hey! What's this new thing I done heard about? When did they announce that?!" I am still lobbying for the legal right to put a virus on these peoples' computers where the only internet page they can open is a RickRoll.
* It is absolutely necessary that if a joke thread is created; at least one person MUST respond to the thread as though it were completely serious. 9 times out of 10 they will be offended. 8 times out of 10 they will disdain those who did NOT take it seriously. 4 times out of 5 they will complain about the prior statistic not using the least common denominator. 10 out of 10 of these people will not realize I am talking about them right now.
* According to N.A. forum guidelines at least once per week there must be a thread created that is completely incomprehensible. The are only two allowable responses to said posting. The first being expressions of confusion (usually involving a single word or monosyllable). The other is to take the original post as a challenge and come back with something even more indecipherable as human thought than the first. A surprising number of these attempts seem to involve pie or the authenticity of cake.
* N.A. shall always mean North America.... it shall NOT mean Not Applicable. If you can agree to this then we shall not mentally pronounce EU as "Eeeee-Ewwwwwwww..."
* Any thread... and I mean ANY thread... that has a Red Name respond to it will instantly multiply its potential view/reply numbers by a factor of 20. You could write a thread about how you like to breed your pocket lint with your belly button lint and if a Red Name says that sounds like a good idea you'll soon have investors asking you for stock option in it. Note: This phenomena may not be in full force until the Dev Digest is brought back on-line.
* If given half a chance some nut-job will always take your post and turn it into a joke list.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

And the thread has a high chance of being subject to thread necromancy several years later.

This list does not include me, and thus I reject its veracity!

Because the NA section includes all the rest of the forums. Even Oceania.

I don't know why it's not obvious that happened to many of you, but it's clear for us EU posters that you lot got lumped in with us, not the other way around. Why else would we get our own special section?  |
I always wondered in wich section brazilians, (south americans) would appear.
They are real active, and got 2 SG's in the top 100 , 1 in the top 10 prolly,
on freedom.
would that be NA, oceanic, or EU, or there are disparities, as usual???
So, who is Uncle Bob?
