*Moving the post I had made on Virtue to here since this is the server that it happened on (I thought that Virtue was the only server that had this post.) So apologies for the re-post.*
So there I was. True story. It happened exactly as I'm gonna write it. The following is a combination of sadness, euphoria and triumph.
Only one life was hurt in the process of this story, and no. It wasn't me.
i13 (Sadness). It came. It saw. It conq...It killed. But hey, how bad could it really be? I pvp'd before it. I certainly didn't think it would be very different from the previous incarnation, even though on test...I hated it. No. Hate isn't a strong enough word for i13 pvp. It was the most repugnant feeling I have ever had with this game (which I really love btw ). There we go. Anywho. I didn't feel like going into a zone to try and like it, so I decided to try arena, which I hadn't done on test. But who was I gonna fight?
I should say before I mention said defeated foe, that I was a casual at best pvp'r, but had fun. I thought it was exciting. I usually played my on weak *** rad/therm or my fairly decent mind/storm troller. Had more success with the troller so that's what I decided to use. Anywho again. I had recently rejoined my very 1st SG, Omega Sector and decided to try someone from there thinking that if I lost, it wouldn't be too embarrassing. But who would answer the call? Now, memory fades a bit at this part, but I do believe I answered the call, before I could ask. Memory also fades on what my opponent's power sets were, but I think said person was an Emp/. Who is this mystery caller/dead person you ask? None other than PHILLY GIRL!!! Duh duh duh daaaaah!!!
I wasn't sure how this was gonna work out since I saw here in zone and arena alot more than I ever was (we were/are global buddies). But. I was randy for a chance at ahem...nailing her b*** to the wall...My troller is a fem too so it was girl o* girl. Nice. Very nice. Hawt. Anywhox3. We started. There was the initial "feeling each other out" (Euphoria) process. Then when I realized that she had difficulty breaking through my cane wind, I knew she was done. Spamming "Dominateher" also proved to be advantageous. Then there was my app of fire. I had the shield which gave me s/l res of 66% I believe. Golden. I "nailed" her for 10 straight gratifying minutes and afterwards felt like I needed a cigarette even though I didn't smoke (Triumph). Needless to say dominating Philly's pixalated image was a close to a buddy ****..well, I'd better not finish this sentence. This is a PG environment after all right? And that's my trip down Chasey Lane.

As long as it isn't violating the posted Message Forum Rules and Guidelines, there isn't much that can be done.
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.

In addition, I don't think any one is going to find too many warm fuzzy feelings about the game around here right now. Probably not the best time for a contest, or at least, probably not a good time to bring this to Justice.

And I am game for giving this a try - if nothing else, with everyone else being disinclined to enter, it improves my chances of winning!
Is posting a Twitpic link for an image acceptable? That way it doesn't slow down the loading of the page, but it's accessible if folks want to see it...

I blame Texas Justice for Con being missing.
Oh wait, wrong thread.
I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

Every character has a defining moment in their career; maybe they stopped a powerful Archvillain in their tracks, saved their team from immenient peril, or perhaps they are that cackling villain who constantly stymies the heroes. Do you have such a story to tell? We want to read about it!
P.E.R.C. is looking for stories that show off what you consider your favorite character's crowning achievement. What made that character stand out to you? What daring plan did you pull off (or thwart)? Here's your chance to share the tale and potentially win a prize for your creativity!
When:
Entries will be accepted from April 16th until April 30th.
Prizes:
Ten stories from the top 20 we pick will be randomly selected and awarded a prize. In addition to that, 5 qualifying stories will be picked by the judges and awarded a "Judge's Favorite" prize.
(10) Random Prizes:
1. 500 mill Inf.
2. 200 mill Inf.
3. 100 mill Inf.

If you have any questions about event rules/details, please feel free to contact a P.E.R.C. representative by replying to this thread or sending them a private message.
Good luck, and happy writing!
