It's that time of year; Festivus, the Airing of Grievances

The celebration of Festivus begins with the "Airing of Grievances," which takes place immediately after the Festivus dinner has been served. It consists of lashing out at others and the world about how one has been disappointed in the past year.

To start, I'd like to say how disappointed I am in many of you for not having Shivans on all your characters. I can understand not having many characters with nukes or vanguard HVAS, but shivans are an easy way to help a poorly performing team take out a difficult end encounter. Several times this weekend I had tf's go bad and only to find that I'm the only person out of the team to have any temp pets/powers that are helpful.

Second I would like to express how much some people have let me down by asking for team invites when they can't actually take an invite. Be it in a mission, the wrong zone, in a task force, on global hide, it's just wrong. Especially having five people do it in a row.

And for all those people who have made new stalkers in the past year, I'm disappointed in you most of all.

This Saturday will take place the Feats of Strength, which will be in the form of a Quaterfield task force.

Couple of things:

More importantly: Festivus is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23

So I'm disappointed that you aren't even close to being accurate

I was not part of this dinner so I'm disapointed in that. However, I didn't have to watch you palm mashed potatoes into your slackjawed maw, so I guess I can't really be disappointed in not being part of the dinner

This kind of speaks for itself. Think of the people who were teamed with you, knowing who was to blame for things going badly in the first place. Your disappointment in their lack of using tools which are overkill is eclipsed by their disappointment you were there in the first place.

Finally we see eye to eye. That, in and of itself, is something to be disappointed in

Save me a spot! If I'm late or not around, just wait.


I've already forgotten about most of you

Dangit !! I can't catch a break. I really liked playing my stalker too. Oh well, toss it on the pile of stupid things I've done (note to self: sweep stupid stuff pile back under rug, again). On a related note, I was disappointed in the last base improvement......really, beakers on a beaker rack....not impressive.
