Super Speedsters compete in running events, Super Jumpers in Long and HIgh Jump competitions... Each Archetype will have its own events. Medals will be handed out to the winners. All hard caps will be removed for the event... so you can finally see what your character could REALLY do... right before you leave the zone and get capped yet again. |

Essentially it glosses over a rather mundane, pointless, nearly automatic, or nonexistant step in a plan.
Unless your uncle's name really IS Bob.
THEN you're in trouble...

Remember the American Method of learning other languages.
Additional volume = Increased understanding.
Waving hands wildly = Increased understanding.
Waving a loaded gun = INSTANT understanding.

When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game. Simples |

Four servers for the Europeans across the pond
Eleven for the Americans in their continent wide.
Three for testing, tightly controlled
One for the developers blessed and wise.
In Mountain View, California where the servers lie.
One list to rule them all, one list to find them
One list to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In Mountain View, California where the servers lie.
EDIT: Yes, I know the servers aren't physically located in Mountain View but the devs are and they need to be collocated for it to work.

Four servers for the Euros past the Gulf Stream
Six servers for the East coast in their towers of stone
Five servers for the Left coast stoned as they seem
Two servers for the Testers, gankers ungrown
One for the Darkity Dark Lord to find them
One Server to unite them all and grind them
In the Land of NorCal where the Developers freem.

Part of me, however, does fear that we might instead get stuck with British food, German humor, and French engineering. |

 Anyway, does this mean I'll actually have a server called Zukunft on my list? If so, that is just awesome. I'd be almost tempted to transfer my character Leichendiener over there... Though it might be taken now that I think of it. |

Have to disagree with you here, Zwill. Polish beer is better than German beer. Why do you think they kept invading Poland?

Yeah but what it is supposed to mean? Leichendiener is not an actual german word that does exist. In fact it's just 2 separate words stuck together and now they don't make much sense.|

Another thing it could mean would be Leichengräber or Totengräber. Not sure what they wanted it to be though.

I got it from the wikipedia page for "Diener" (which is indicates is a word for morgue workers) which says "It is derived from the German word Leichendiener, which literally means corpse servant." Yes I know wiki is dangerous about accuracy, but I liked the sound of it, as far as I can tell leichen and diener do translate roughly to those individual words, and mashing words together to make a name is hardly alien to the genre. |

Which is basically my concern if other people have similar mashed those two words or grabbed from the same wiki entry. Though its probably not much of a valid concern as you indicate.And to answer Fleeting Whisper, it is absolutely a Necro MM (along with Force Field as a secondary, since he is basically an undead telekinetic re-animated by his own mutant power). And its dressed as an undertaker with a stylish top-hat and big old-west looking mustache. Somehow the guy has even won a few costume contests, which I just seriously don't understand (not that I'm complaining about the Inf or anything)... I even started (but didn't complete) a page for him on VirtueVerse back when I was playing that character more often: Keep meaning to get back to him someday but have been to busy with my mains. Maybe this weekend, now that I'm ranting about him I can actually feel some enthusiasm growing.
