don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
I don't get it.
Also, I will be RPing all of my Incarnates.
BaZing!
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.
What is this I don't even...
Wait, what?
Okay, I'm a Roleplayer and I have no clue what's going on here. OP, let me ask you:
You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise crawling towards you. You reach down and flip the tortoise on it's back. The tortoise lays on it's back, it's belly baking in the hot sun beating it's legs, trying to turn itself over, but it can't without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?

Someone may have never been a part of actual (good) roleplay, and is making fun of their perception of roleplay.
That's the impression I get anyway.
Yeeeeeeeeeeah...
Okay, as a roleplayer, I'm not sure whether to feel offended or to just laugh at the OP's attempts to describe what he thinks roleplaying is like, and how far from the reality of it he is...

*funky wibbly visual effect with deep mysterious voice overlay saying "The Fuuuuuture..."* Dr Richard Huntington the Third smiled as he sat back in his comfortable auto-contouring leather chair, looking at the still-handsome woman who appeared to be sitting on the other side of his desk, thanks to the projection created by his holo-con unit. "Well, here we are, Zorielle. It's been a long time coming, but now we know. We won." Zorielle Rolando smiled briefly at the handsome, ageless Englishman on the other end of the link. "I certainly didn't expect it turn out this way, Richard. I'm sure you didn't, either." With a quiet laugh, Richard shook his head in agreement. "Do you remember when it all began? When we first discovered how to tap into the Well? How naive we all were?" *more funky wibbly visual effect, with the mysterious voice saying "The Neeeeeear Fuuuuuuture..."* Clad in the battle-armour of his alter-ego, Shadowe, Richard Huntington gasped as power coursed through him. Just a trickle, for now, but he knew that one day, perhaps years from now, that he would understand this power, own this power. The thought scared him as much as it thrilled him, and he knew that there would be others. Knew that he would not be alone in this sudden... almost deification. "Keep your head straight, Huntington. You're not a God. You never will be." "None of us are, Shadowe." He whirled in surprise, his cape billowing behind him, to see the familiar armoured form of Zorielle Rolando, otherwise known as Zortel, hovering nearby. He smiled inside his helmet. "And that's the only thing we truly must remember, my dear." |
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.* Someone's from Freedumb.

Was this an attempt at humour? I can't tell. Just in case it is:
Don't quit your day job.
I was doing some playthroughs of City of Heroes. Now they will serve as memories of a better time ...
The who of the what now?

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
Forget that! This is how all of my characters are getting their incarnate powers.

I prefer my humor to be, you know, funny. Also, a smidgen of accuracy is good, too.

This is my impression of y'all which only seems fair. This morning a bunch of people encountered something chaotic which they did not get. So they did what on every post every day. The guy who constantly degrades others and crows about how better he is put a post saying exactly that. The guy who posts funny links all the times did his standard funny link post. I could have posted anything but funny link guy desperately need a reason for the funny link. I'm better than you guy needs to declare himself better. Several of you admit you have no idea what you read but then posted a reason for schlepping out your standard response.|

This company could have a great release or a terrible release but thats all irrelevant. Funny link guy will be posting funny links either way. I'm better than you guy will be same old same old. None of you will ever evolve or change. As such you no longer interest me. We have talked once and I have seen the reply I will always get from you.
Roleplayers are great. They are fun to group with. They come up with new ideas from nothing or constantly. I can run the same mission 5 times and have a new experience each time.
Power Levelers are great. Every time this game changes they adapt and become something new. Even though they claim they have one mission to repeat I have noticed they are always paying attention. They keep an eye out for some new tweak or tidbit of information they may have missed. One little thing can be magnified to become some new cavalcade of experience.
How I feel about these two groups of people was never important. An excuse for you to be the person you will always be was all that was important.
...and that makes as much sense as your first post.

Time for the what - if machine to see what would happen if Roleplayers controlled Incarnates
*** After 120 grueling minutes of Power Leveling ***
Fiery Fire Man: I am here for Powers
Bacchus God of Drinking: Hic! Hail there suppaherro! Oh I had too much wine for breakfast!
Fiery Fire man: I pick the Nebulon Incarnate for Ranged Fire which give me .00031 damage .0055 recharge so I can farm AVs in 94.32 seconds
Bacchus God of Drinking: Now hold on a minute there Match-a-palooza I am Sol God of the Sun and I give out the Incarnate powers
Fiery Fire man: Hey you aren't Sol
Bacchus God of Drinking: So you noticed Sir Flames a Lot , well it seems Sol was given Aphrodite's PM address and Sunshine rushed off leaving me here in charge
Fiery Fire man: Um ok I want Nebulon Incarnate
Bacchus God of Drinking:Well Nebulon Powers are booooooooring lets see what we have that is interesting. There is Clam Control and Witchery
Fiery Fire man:Clam Control is .03 less damage and Witchery only gets me 243 different witch hat costume add ons. How about Rock Fist Melee, thats really good recharge and it breaks holds
Bacchus God of Drinking: Well Old Yeller Flame I already had 23 Rock Fist requests this morning. So its Clam Control or Witchery.
Fiery Fire man: I want Nebulon Powers! Those powers suck. I spent 113 minutes getting to level 50 and I want Nebulon
Bacchus God of Drinking: Oh you want both! Why didn't you say so. The mighty Bacchus is most generous today. I grant thee Incarnate of Clam Control and Witchery. So declares Sol's stand in!
*POOF (cheap sound effect for teleport back to Atlas Park)*
Clam Witch: Incarnate lf farm team for TFs
The Forum Complainer: Hey Witches are female and you are male. Its the Clam Warlock This was a LFT message but you are in the general chat. Those are not clam minions those are actually Belgian Oysters with Cyborg Legs glued to them and leg wands. The correct title would not be Clam Witch or Warlock but Mistress or Master of Arcane Clammery!
Bacchus God of Drinking: Nonexistent PvP switch on!
Clam Minion 1: They dare insult the mighty Clam Witch!
Clam Minion 2: Wearer of 243 costume add ons and possible more with the Clam Witch/Contruction Worker Add on pack!
Clam Minion 3: Clams get your wands and attack!
The Forum Complainer: Ow, Ouch! Hey that was a hold attack and I failed but I was held .012 seconds shorter than the Release Addendum. That Witch hat is actually a rare Plymouth Pilgrim Beret! Ow Ouch! Those are not historically accurate wands! They are made from Black Albanian Yew Wood but it should be Black Albanian Shadow Yew Wood. Ouch Ow Ouch!
Clam Witch: I bet I could farm the Hydra with this build. Hey this is not so bad.
