Buttcape. That is all.

Unless you have a spider's view of femininity, in which case large, wicked, potentially man-eating legs are pretty spot-on.

Rajani Isa goes for that old one?:

Next thing you know you're going to give us a snappy reason why we drive on parkways and park on driveways.
I drive on the highway and park in the garage myself.

Does anyone actually call them parkways any more? Must be regional.


Dec out.

Oooh "the GARAGE"... Well, la-di-dah, Mr. Frenchman.

We have a couple of roads called "Parkways" here in Indianapolis. They're apparently in use all over the place in both the U.S. and Canada.

It's simple: Is there a legitimate reason why male widows don't get waist capes? Looking at it on a female model, it looks more like coattails than anything strictly feminine. Frankly, there's not much differance between it and a trenchcoat, other than the trenchcoat flaring out more vs. hanging straight.

So is there a reason other than they just haven't done it?
back in the day ti was just jay's post that females were getting them, and something silly and tangential. My guess is they just didnt have the time, resources and demand to throw together at once to fix it. Lets be honest, of the nw's you see how many are male. I would be fully for adding BUTTCAPES to males(and huge models) as well as females, just as i'd like to see colorable holiday halos, but my guess is that they have their place on the priority ladder, particularly with gr looming, and we will see them when all the stuff with higher priority for a larger number of players gets addressed.

I was referring to the armor. Not the backpack with a custom costume.

That, and perhaps a desire not to be overrun with copies of Dr. Frank N. Furter.

And what would be wrong with that?

I wasn't judging the relative merits of such a hypothetical situation, just saying that perhaps it factored into the decision process.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

No, certain roadways are specifically called "parkway", much in the same way you might see "ABC road", "DEF drive", "GHI street", "JKL lane", "MNO circle"... you also get "PQR parkway".

There is a parkway in Connecticut, the Merritt I think. No big trucks due to low clearance stone bridges (doesn't always stop them from trying). IIIRC the on ramps have stop signs and very little room to accelerate. Pretty though.

I'd be fine if it was because of technical difficulties or something like that. If the engine won't let it work for whatever reason, that just leave it be. However, if it's just because it's a female-only thing, that's just a bit silly. I mean, if you're going to do that, why even let there be any male and huge widows? Or even female wolf spiders?

If you're going to give us male widows, then at least give us coat tails to go along with them. I don't care if it looks retarded, it's for consistencies sake. My OCD demands consistency!

It's actually a legal distinction in many areas. Expressways and parkways are distinct categories of highway. Commercial vehicles are not permitted on parkways.

Plus parkways tend to have cultivated trees and flowers along the sides and median to make the drive "pretty".

I would make so many male toons if I could give them the Witch Bare costume parts.

And all my females will have a costume with briefs.

That doesn't mean other AT's won't get Tail Coats or Waist Cape's in the future, but it's quite likely the Widow Waist-Cape will remain exclusive to female Widows.
That first part doesn't come close to answering the question. Male Widows ARE of the same AT as Female Widows. Which makes the second part seem like a complete non-sequitor.

Thanks. I guess we just don't have those in Michigan, or we call them something else. I've never heard of one here and when I google "parkway Michigan" I don't get anything relevant.


Dec out.

Well, there's also West Crosstown Parkway in Kalamazoo, but it's a much shorter stretch of road and took a few moments more to find via Google.

Ha! OMG, I can't believe I missed that one! On the other hand, it has no restrictions like were mentioned before, it's just a road. Boy, I feel a bit dumb, now.
