Putting a branch on your head and going 'tweet tweet tweet I'm just a bird' does not count as "Hide".

Is there a size limit for a homemade card?
Like does it have to fit in the PO box or could it like... be bigger?

Australia is still excluded ):|

Still happy over the maint changes for us though so it all balances

Violets are blue,

Anyway, have fun with the contest, those of you who are into this kind of thing. Like most of the community team's no doubt well-intentioned efforts in the forums lately, I see this only as a fairly transparent attempt to distract us from the ongoing content famine, and I'm not personally interested in playing along.
And War Witch isn't my character's type anyway: http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/9...tarfullbk2.jpg

You know, we are probably never going to know how many *really icky* entries they end up getting for this contest.
At the risk being seen as a complainer, why not provide for even more creative possibilities by opening up more of the canon? Not all, just more.

The idea is really cute... but I still wish we had a few more choices. 'Can't say any of my toons are that interested in War Witch.
A few of the canon guys, though... That's a different matter entirely.

Translation.... Australia and New Zealand and the Oceanic nations are still excluded. Oh well. Better luck next time. Maybe when they eventually get a server down here somewhere they'll start taking competition entries.

Dispite how much i like War Witch, my (of what is left on my villains) heart still belongs to Ghost Widow.
Although Desdemona will be my new love of the game, once GR finaly hits the server.
Bitty ontopic, a poem i wrote for Ghost Widow a while ago:
Ghost Widow - Soul Storm
May my enhancement color grey
Or ‘debt cap’ be my middle name
My hospital runs count infinitive
Or even be banned from this game
My pursue for your answer,
It remains my final quest
Unfinished, unanswered
How long does this last?
My final effort, i send you this poem
For all i am, a desperate man
I beg you, in our next encounter,
please do not kill me again.

B) isn't War Witch a ghost in game? Do ghosts have apartments?

Strictly speaking, there's two of her. The ghost version in Croatoa and the alive one in Pocket D. As her D-self pointed out, this is one of the advantages of parallel dimensions.

That was my very first thought when I saw the announcement. Never underestimate the potential for people to be grotesquely inappropriate via the internet.

Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.
Am I the only person who finds this rather creepy and prone to high levels of inappropriate?

I understand the intentions are well meant, but.... gut reaction was "errrmmm, are we sure about this?".

This contest sounds disturbing and creepy.
Suppose to a be a teen and up game, yet the first line was, "We know people sit outside War' Witch's apartment."
Um excuse, I sure the hell don't and I dont pay $15.00 a month to oogle and ahh about characters who are not real.
Why don't we just change Valentine's Day to Stalker Day.
Is there a size limit on the homemade cards? Either a width limitation or a height, or for that matter a weight limitation? I need to know soon.
I have read and re-read the rules page, and I am apparently BLIND and can't see if it says those things. I read that the digital valentine has size limits... did not see a limits for homemade.
Uhhmmmm... P_P, is this what you were looking for?

.... in the original post of this thread. | If you choose to enter the homemade category, you have the ability to really go wild! You can use whatever arts and crafts you have at your disposal and make your valentine whatever shape you wish (as long as it still fits into an envelope and can be postal mailed) |

So, why only War Witch? How do you know some of us don't stalk Synapse? (Or even better, Foreshadow!)
For such a progressive company, this reeks of when EA did their "Lust" promo for Dante's Inferno.
