The Slippery Slope
Too funny Steel.
I'm also thrilled that they finally added the Help Me! / Helper feature. I was one of the people suggestion colored titles to help us identify new players and/or trial accounts so we could tell at a glance that they might need assisitance or that they had limited communication ability.
This is a huge step in the right direction.
At first I was all like LOL but then I was all like meh.
Should a low level player need a teleport from the transit to the Tailor in Steel Canyon, would you be willing to assist? * There's a tailor in Steel Canyon? Wait, what's a tailor? * Only if I'm not at the University, Vault, Store or Wentworths. * Sure... glad to help! * Why not? I love reading their tells after I drop them in a spawn of high level Tsoo. |
That's great, I always find your lists amusing, but this one made me literally laugh out loud right around the "Are you left handed or right handed?" question.
Are you now, or would you in the future, be interested in participating in a Nemesis Plot? * A what? * No thank you, I oppose the aims of Lord Nemesis. * Always willing to help! I love helping everyone and everything! It's like an obsessive need with me or something... oh, must have missed a little after you last sneezed... let me get that for you... * Only if he won't ask me a litany of useless f***ing questions!! |

Steelclaw,
Thanks for making these lists. In order to improve your list making experience, we'd like to take the time to ask you a few questions. Please note that attempting to skip these questions will result in you being logged out of the forums at random for no apparent reason.
Making these lists is a great way to participate in the CoH Community because:
- I enjoy making people laugh
- I enjoy making fun of devs
- As a small child in rural Sasketoon Canadia I often enjoyed venturing out into the wilderness and poking bears repeatedly until they roared with rage.
- Everything has its place in a list, everything in order, everything in line, clean, alphabetized, EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE!
Zwillinger is the best because...
- No other Redname has the temerity to have a name that starts with a Z
- He posts pretty pictures
- What is this I don't even...
Be afraid
- Be very afraid
- You will be
- Indeed

Honestly Zweiback, you should have a bit more empathy for the players.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

* Request was not submitted in triplicate with CCs to all department heads.

* Although one of your options specifically stated the need for order and, more importantly, alphabetization... the answer options themselves were NOT listed in alphabetical order. For this gross transgression we were forced to club a bunny.

Swilling, Willing, Twilling and Swelling.
I further looked up Twilling to find the definition as follows: to weave in the manner of a twill.
Following the train of logic I must assume Zwillinger should be defined thusly:
Zwillinger is the willing swilling of spirits until one's bladder is swelling and one's stride is twilling.
At this point I think the "pretty pictures" are alcohol induced hallucinations which really calls into question how the devs came up with the whole "Ultra Graphics" thing in the first place.
Be afraid - Be very afraid - You will be - Indeed |
However I should also point out...
"Fear is the path to the Claw side. Fear leads to forgetfullness. Forgetfullness leads to lists. Lists lead to suffering."

BTW, Steel, no, I did not forget. I have been swamped with work. But our collective magnum opus is taking shape. And it'll even have a preview at the start of it.

TY for the post... needed a good laugh this morning.

I like the new Help Me!/Helper system. I really do. It's a great way to let the veteran player base aid the new players when necessary and that can only be a good thing...
...but...
I worry that this whole "identification" thing might get out of hand... someone will say "Say! Since helper status worked out so well... how about other ways of identifying certain types of players?"
Someday you might just create a new character and face something like this...
Choose whether you wish to be a helper.
* I need help!
* I can help others
* I could help others but the mistakes of newbs amuse me
With our new queue system are you willing to take the Star and lead a team?
* I would prefer not to have star
* Powah! Kneel before me puny mortals lest I kick thee from the team!
* Teams are for wimps and other people annoy me.
Would you like to be flagged as a role player?
* What the heck is a role player?
* No, I just play to play.
* Yes, but henceforth address all your questions to Lord Fontelroy De Haffenstaffen, peasant!
* I reiterate and expand - Teams are for wimps, other people annoy me and roleplayers are freaks of nature with personality disorders.
If you choose to roleplay in what maturity level of RP are you willing to engage?
* G rated; we're talking 70's Super Friends stuff here (without the Batman and Robin innuendos).
* PG rated; the things you wouldn't be embarassed to have read in broadcast.
* R rated; little bit edgier... X-Men movies with a sprinkling of Sin City.
* XXX rated; the naughtier the better, send me a tell if you want to try to get so nasty NCSoft will need to put extra cooling fans in their server stacks.
* I told you I don't RP! So why don't you rate me "leave me the h*ll alone?!"
Should a low level player need a teleport from the transit to the Tailor in Steel Canyon, would you be willing to assist?
* There's a tailor in Steel Canyon? Wait, what's a tailor?
* Only if I'm not at the University, Vault, Store or Wentworths.
* Sure... glad to help!
* Why not? I love reading their tells after I drop them in a spawn of high level Tsoo.
In fact, the Taxibots are always looking to expand! Would you be willing to be on-call for new players as soon as they enter the game? You would be required to spend an hour or so with them showing them around and teaming.
* Er, how exactly do I sign up to be the one escorted rather than doing the escorting?
* Hmm... only if I'm not too busy. Send me a notification window allowing me to answer yes or no when someone requests the service.
* Always willing to help! Put me on automatic summoning for the task!
* I would honestly rather super glue my eyelids shut and staple closed my nostrils.
Are you now, or would you in the future, be interested in participating in a Nemesis Plot?
* A what?
* No thank you, I oppose the aims of Lord Nemesis.
* Always willing to help! I love helping everyone and everything! It's like an obsessive need with me or something... oh, must have missed a little after you last sneezed... let me get that for you...
* Only if he won't ask me a litany of useless f***ing questions!!
If Closed Beta is about to begin, would you like to be considered for beta testing?
* No thank you, I can wait until it comes out on live.
* Absolutely! I'll take all the sneak peaks I can get! Why do you think my new telescope is pointed at my neighbor's house?
* More than likely, since it looks like I'm never going to get through these pop up questions to play THIS version!
Are you left or right handed?
* Left handed.
* Right handed.
* Seriously, dude... what the F**K?!!?
Our marketing department has informed us that there needs to be more in-game advertising for our booster packs. While you still have a choice in the matter would you like to see the packs we have available for purchase?
* No, thank you.
* Yes, please.
* I will track you down. I will find your family. I will eat your pets.
