Tesla:  Now, I bet she's in all the beta's gets a heads up on developments that are "in the works" but it's all done for free *I assume* meaning even though she helps and does what she does awesomely, unless their is a paycheck involved like the rest of Paragon Studio gets, then well, I can't fully agree the people of this game thanked her enough. The butt-kissing part? well that goes for allot that goes on here, I find it that there is a human condition that makes people see somebody as higher than them, by their miracles and wondrous powers, and those that they feel are beneath that, are compelled to worship or "butt-kiss" to make that person seem higher than them, it's been through history, and I would like this action to stop, cause it gives people god-complexes when sometimes those people are no where near greater than us. "Creation is a tool given by the gods, use it, and use it wisely, for there are those that cannot grasp the ability to create themselves, and will burn you at the stake if that of which you've created seems far too higher than those that cannot create themselves can grasp.." |

*snerk* Nice mischaracterization of Edison and Tesla there, almost as accurate as the rest of your post.|

Yes, Edison was a jackhole who did his best to smear and undermine Tesla, but your version of it is about as accurate as someone's senile great-uncle telling the kids how Christ put two of every animal in the ark so that they could go retrieve the ten commandments from the garden of Eden.
Dr. Todt's theme.

I never try to be accurate, even so, kids today would have no clue of what I was trying to prove anyway, all they know are lies and propaganda, the real 1984, only 26 years too late.
Heck, even being on here, they can red tape me, bind me, and banish me away to make sure all is calm cause I broke some rules that can or could be looked the other way.
I am cursed to know all that what we do, and the majority that we do are far too heinous than even the devil himself would cringe to the sight of what we've done, but for me, I look crazy cause I cannot focus all this information, and with my personal feeling on it, make me an outcast most of the time when all I want to do is help people out and continue to grow...
Genius and Madness are 2 sides of the same count, but my coin seems to flip more to tails than heads

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Everybody has the ability to do great things, just some who don't know how to or scared to, and then they look up on those they deem greater, and then praise or worship them cause they feel they can't be as great as that one person.
I've been told I'm pretty much a creative genius as well, but my personality sucks, anger flows in my veins like venom, and my mind processes so many thoughts and ideas, that when I try to explain something, it sometimes gets blown out, or I can't focus on what I wish to say, cause my thoughts already moved on, that even on here, can be seen as the forumites call it "trolling"
People think what they want, I bet Arcania is indeed awesome with numbers, heck my brother is as well, but seeing 3-4 posts of "Bow Down to Arcania" makes me shug and think still people just are destined to be drones...but that's just me, don't take my word on it..

Repeat: Tesla wanted to sell AC power. Topsy the elephant was killed with AC to discourage the use of AC, not to promote paying for it. You claim doesn't even make sense.

You realize that the whole electrocution thing was AC vs. DC, not free vs. profit, right? And on top of that, Edison killed animals (and paid a guy to invent the electric chair) because Tesla was working with Westinghouse to commercialize AC power, which would usurp Edison's existing DC power distribution. Repeat: Tesla wanted to sell AC power. Topsy the elephant was killed with AC to discourage the use of AC, not to promote paying for it. You claim doesn't even make sense. Einstein failed mathematics in school. He didn't suck at math. |
That being said, that is an excellent rebuttal
Quote:
Edison never invented jack, he was just really good at screwing his employees out of the credit that they deserved. That's how the whole rivalry between him and Tesla began, when Edison patented his ideas as his own and caused Tesla to quit. Unfortunately Tesla was not as good of a businessman as he was scientist.|

Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!

Agree or disagree with the rest of what he has posted, I can't help but feel the same; I have an extraordinarily low tolerance for being told to bow the neck to someone else, just because I "should." I decide for myself if they're truly worthy of that much kudos. If they are, cool - but if not they don't get a free pass just because their friends are telling all and sundry, "RESPECT MAH FRIEND!" [This also applies to Visions here; is he really a genius? We shall see.]|

Enjoyed the "insuperior" yet "genorus" [?...? was that how it was spelled?] pic mentioning "sexual incounters," whatever those might be - but probably not for the reason intended.
*claps hands*
Oh this is good, go on my friends, dig deep into the madness, this thread has lead us into some interesting thoughts, I admire your thoughts, really I do...
Everything is about profit folks, the greater good, over what you desire to be a lesser evil, all for oneself, as you and other perish from what you have done...
Quite a concept is it not?
Now the big question is...
Why does this thread exist?
Clearly as you see, all the lies, misdirection, and getting off topic would surely lock a thread, but here we are, aren't we?
Go on, this is a game, come play with me...

Edit: I edited my boo-boo...
Quote:
I doubt if "they" would tell me if closed beta had already happened[? eh?], and no I would not get mad - nor does it matter - because I rarely test anything on beta that is not cosmetic; I don't want to spoil new content before I even GET the new contect. |

I'll go look at costumes and powersets prior to release. I am not running all the new content mission-wise before it hits Live; that's just how I roll.
Quote:
I said creative genius, that means I can make up whatever I want, when I want, for better or worse, I really see myself as a madman, scrambled thoughts, trying so hard to piece them together, trying to see why I say what I do, and see why I want to say it to you..|

I like breaking rules, I like toying with they human psyche, can say a mechanist deals with machinery, and I deal with the flesh and the CPU called the mind.

I'm sorry, but your "madness" is kind of trite and boring. Really closer to "intentional stupidity" than "madness". Try harder. |
DaemonicVisions just needs a cup of coffee: *claps hands* Oh this is good, go on my friends, dig deep into the madness... |
Not that I discredit the value of "intentional stupidity". I mean, have you seen some of my "jokes"?
Dec out.

I find life a waste, yet you seem to find two words to make up of me...
I asked why this thread was here, one person posted " for people to discuss wave 2 of CB"
I found the rest of this thread a waste, you beat a duck for it's actions, lynch mobbed the poor thing, then random people continue to do so, isn't that against forum rules?
My idea is that people just randomly spout words just to release tension within themselves, and care not who or what is the rag doll of your own frustrations, and then beat it to death till they can't do so any longer...
Most what I read are built this way, so much frustration, so much anger, yet I see 3 words, yet I see none..City of Heroes...
Some Heroes you guys are...
Who's butt-kissing? Oh, do I take it you don't know Arcanaville? $100M inf. says you are benefiting from at least two of the improvements she has consulted on for the game. You could always thank her.
