I have a few issues that you need to fix now.

1. Dude, where are my donut sticks? I've been craving them for like two days.

2. There needs to be a section dedicated to me. We all know I deserve it. Why hasn't it happened yet?

3. Too many people can't purple out their warshades, especially the casual player. Broken.

4. Todd McShay has the Cowboys drafting a defensive end with the first pick. Why? Did he not see our old offensive line last year? You need to mod his post before Jerry Jones reads it and gets a stupid idea(probably too late for that).

5. See #2

6. Loyalist or Resistance? This is important. We need to know if you're a patriot and support our savior Emperor Cole or if you are treasonous scum. Which is it?

7. Where do babies come from?

8. First character to level 50? AT and powersets please.

9. Why won't Ms. Liberty call me back?

10. SEE #2!!!!!!!!

I guess that is all for now. Welcome to the boards!

There are no donut sticks. Only Krispy Kremes

The boards cannot handle the pure awesomeness of a misspelled monkey?

This statement is illogical due to the fact that Colts > everyone

Pursue it diligently, and with haste. More than a single response would also be advisable.

No, not "pursue" - "investigate" it - investigate it the way we investigate warehouses.

I'm extremely excited, and humbled, to have the opportunity to be a part of the best Community (with a capital "C") out there. As EMPulse said, I've had a lot of experience with City of, with many hours spent patrolling the streets of Paragon (and wrecking some havoc on the Rogue Islands of course). I'm stoked to be jumping into the new Going Rogue content and have been in awe of all the new content added to the game over the years.

I'll be spending a lot of time in the coming weeks "in the trenches" digging into the meat of the game and getting to know what really makes the Community tick. There's a lot to learn, so I'll be counting on you guys to help me learn what's important to the Community and where you feel we should be working to improve as a team.

The Community team here at Paragon is second to none, and I'm very privileged to be a part of it. As previously stated, Avatea will be the smiling Community face at the PAX East meet and greet (and the panel), however I plan on joining in on the fun at upcoming player gatherings, so I'm looking forward to meeting many of you face to face.

So there you have it...feel free to toss questions my way. Let's get to know one another!
as a favor to the community...please....talk to the devs about pvp....mod08 tried but it didn't work out for him.


Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.

You've left a good first impression Zwillinger, I'd like to have high hopes that these forums can be great again with you here.

That and when I saw "Andy Belford" I had this mental image of Fischer Stevens doing "Call me "The Plague"."

The Snark is strong with this one.

Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
