The Few The Proud The SHOWTIME
Your daughter's getting to be a handful, is she? 
Good and I hope everything works out for you. Going to miss you Tuesday.
Never thought I would ever say this. Goodbye, D. We'll be here when you come back home.

This thread needs a fond farewell from Catholic Knight to make things happyhappy joyjoy.
Sorry to see you go Dinah, what few times I did team with you it was a pleasure. You will be missed, from one SG leader to another *salute*. Best of luck to you in real life!
Thanks for all of your hard work helping to make Champion what it is today. Hopefully you'll be back sooner rather than later.

Take care, DM.

Space reserved for a super awesome Signature, someday...
I just thought I would re-post my 1/10/06 interview of Dinah:
Any real life info? Age, profession, location?
- 32, Secretary, Canada
When did you start playing COH?
- I started playing on the CoH release date. Actually the CANADIAN CoH release date which was about 2-3 days after it was released in the States. I remember I picked it up in the morning, and then had to wait until after we were done grocery shopping before I could login. I read the entire manual while pushing around the grocery cart.
What made you buy the game?
- I’ve always been a comic book fan. At first I read Archie comics,but then moved to Marvel for it’s more serious nature. I got hooked into the “soap opera” type story lines. Besides, you can only read Archie so many time before you say “COME ON!!! Are you an idiot!!!!Betty is the girl for you!!!!!! MORON!!!”
Have you played any other MMORPGs?
- No. CoH is my first, and probably not my last. I doubt I’ll play WoW or and game like that. I’m not into the Sword and Sorcery thing.
What profession/type of character is your main/mains?
- Dinah Might is a Tanker. (I’m sure you all knew that).
She was born in Dark Astoria, and was the daughter of Max King,leader of the “Dark Astoria Knights”. The DAK were the controlling criminal element in Dark Astoria, who was in a constant battle with theBanished Pantheon for control of the zone. After being betrayed bysomeone they trusted; Max was killed by Adamaster, and his children(Max Jr. and Dinah), barely escaped.
This event had different effect on the children. Max turned into himself and became bitter and angry. Dinah never wanted this to happen to anyone else, and decide to devote her life to help others.
Dinah’s current occupation is “professional adventurer” which is a fancy way to say she takes “Missions” to get “influence”. She is also attending Paragon University to complete her education (which she didn’t get while trying to escape Dark Astoria).
What do you think is the best feature of COH/ What do you love most about COH?
-hands down the character creation. It allows you to create your own personal characters. 80% of the game for me is the character.
What is the worst feature in COH/What do you hate most about COH?
- Balancing. Originally, each AT was created to compliment each other, each playing a different role on a team, now each AT is being changed to defeat each other.
- Tankers Inherent. Pointless for PvP, that needs to change.
- No level 50 content.
Who do you look to for game advice when you have questions?
- Most of the in game questions I search the boards for the answers. Most of my Tanker advice comes from Myr & Ring. However, I also take advice from Iron Vixen, Tiffany Seville, and Buffy Summers. I hope to meet them someday.
What is the most memorable thing you have done/seen while in game?
- Meeting Mage Storm was probably the most memorable part of the game. He introduced me to Ring and Deadboy, who encouraged me to domore than just “login and play”. From there I met Mry, Ace, Crackback,Miyoko, Ranma, Flaming Intern, Bert, etc etc, the list could go on andon.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is driving through Paragon city on his new Harley Davidson Softail. He is suddenly attacked by Clockwork and you don’t have much time to react. Do you save Arnold or save the bike?
-You’d be surprised to know that first and foremost, Dinah Might would save Mr. Schwarzenegger. To Dinah the value of life is very high.The bike, where it is an awful shame, can be replaced. Besides, Dinah can fix the bike!!!
If you could change one thing about COH ATs/abilities, what would you change and why?
- Street fighting, but I understand that is on the way. Originally I was going to be a scrapper, but Martial Arts didn’t fit my theme.
- Wait, I change that! My ONE thing I’d change is “brawl”. I do think every powerset that has a chance to knock off toggles, just not brawl. That’s silly. The power should be one with a long recharge.
What is your favorite real life possession and why?
- My lighthouse table. Custom made with a light in it. I like lighthouses.
Your party sucks. What song do you play to get everyone going?
- Thriller. Ever see “13 going on 30”? Everybody likes to make fun of Michael, but hey we ALL loved that song back in the day.
What is your favorite word?
- Salsa. Say it Salsa.
What is your least favorite word?
- Diversification
What turns you on?
- People who don’t have to ask this question but are able to do it.
What turns you off?
- braggers. You know what I mean.
What sound do you love?
- Silence. I remember being on the docks up North, listening to ….. nothing. It was very relaxing.
What sound do you hate?
- “Smacking” while eating.
What is your favorite curse word?
- am I allowed to say? The mother of all. The big word.
What RL profession other than yours would you most like to attempt?
- Is professional couch potato a job? I’d like to be a web-designer. Looks like fun. I know I need to learn a lot, but I find interesting.
What RL profession would you not like to attempt?
- Farmer? I respect their hard work. I don’t think I could cut it.
If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
- “They are waiting for you” and by that he means that I am to be re-united with everyone that I miss so dearly. I have lost some very close friends and I miss them so much.

Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
Thing is you'd have to stomp and kill Pillars Of Might out of existence, otherwise it's only a matter of time before your sg friends draw you back here.
Have fun in your endeavors!
-ps, wife and I axed our subs to that other thing (both made it to 17 =]), feel free to banish our spots from that branch of the Pillars. ;]
Best o' luck, Dinah.

Take care of yourself Dinah. You're truly one of Champion's finest. I always enjoyed teaming with you on Tanker Tuesdays, and PvPin' in Sirens back in the day. I'm still grateful for all the hard work you put into, the Tanker Tuesday 3rd anniversary, one of the best event I've been to in game.
Take some time off, recharge your batteries, and let some new content come to rejuvenate your love for the game. The same thing happened to me last year after 6 years, and I came back 6 months later, so here's hoping to see you around Paragon again in time.
With heavy heart, I'm letting you all know that my account expires on March 1, 2011 and I will most likely not be renewing. I have played this game, with uninterupted service, since the game was released (as we come to the seven year mark).
My leaving has to do with my curent financial situation, as well as a general apathy to the game. This however should not be reflective on the game. I have never played a game so intense, with so much substance, and with such a great staff running things! Simply put, this is the best game anyone can play and I have no issues recommending it.
I will not do "shoutouts" to anyone, as there are far too many people to name and I fear that I might miss someone. Champion has been a great community and I have come to see you all as good friends.
Will I be back? Maybe. In the meantime, I have handed the "keys to the base" to Star Fire (Starforce) who is now the head honcho of the Pillars of Might.
Here's hoping this thread isn't immediately pulled and you all get to see this. Take care Champion.
