Freedom Praet Surge's Admin logs - Enjoy.

So, I figured to save the event logs from Admin chat to commemorate the event, and to share with all the other off-server players who helped out. Props to the various Unionites and Championites I had on league (especially Earthguard - miss you guys!) while we scoured Peregrine Island and Kings Row for about a good two hours, before parking in Pocket D and, well, not really seeing a Dev in PD3, but they DID have like 15 D's to go through...

Anyway, the invasion chat logs, up until the Pocket D hangout period. Cheers, everyone!

[Admin] NCsoft_Zwillinger: We'll be starting soon folks! Please remember, spread out! We promise, Atlas doesn't have candy! [Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: Attention people of Primal Earth. [Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: I had wished to join our two worlds together without the need for bloodshed. [Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: But it has become clear to me and my advisors that there are those amongst you who are resolute in their outdated idea of freedom no matter the cost. [Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: The cost will be high, but ensuring the greater good for your world is too important, too critical for the survival of both our worlds. [Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: We are liberators, not conquerors. [Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: I ask that those who wish to avoid conflict and peacefully join the Praetorian Empire stand aside. [Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: Let those who would sacrifice your safety die for their ideals this day and make way for your new world order. [Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: I am Emperor Marcus Cole of the Praetorian Empire, and by sovereign decree I claim the world of Primal Earth as a protected holding of Praetoria! [Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: All Praetorian forces, commence your assaults! [Admin] Anti-Matter: Cole, for the record, I am helping, unlike that catgirl loving Neuron.

All forces, engage secondary and tertiary targets at will! [Admin] Ms. Liberty: Cole! You monster! You'll never take Primal Earth! [Admin] Anti-Matter: Not as dead as you would think! [Admin] Marauder: You people call THIS thing a city?! [Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: My first defeat, these Primal Earthlings are no match for my power! [Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: All Praetorian Forces, have no fear, these so called 'Heroes' cannot hold a torch to my Praetorian Guard! [Admin] Marauder: How many of you chumps are 'Powers Division', huh?! Buncha backstabbers! [Admin] Marauder: Alright boys, round 'em up, we've got Silver Lake handled in Steel Canyon! [Admin] Ms. Liberty: PRAETORIAN ARMIES HAVE BEEN DETECTED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS: ATLAS PARK, KINGS ROW, STEEL CANYON, FOUNDERS FALL, CAP AU DIABLE, GRANDVILLE, AND ST. MARTIAL!

[Admin] NCsoft_Zwillinger: AND as a test of improvements to our server infrastructure [Admin] NCsoft_Zwillinger: If you read Second Measure's Producer's Letter for last month, you know that he said our previous record was around 3500 players on a server, concurrently. [Admin] NCsoft_Zwillinger: Our goal for tonight was slightly more humble. 2500 players.

[Admin] Anti-Matter: SOmehow? You broadcast it on an open frequency, moron, that's how I picked it up! [Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: NEURON!!!! You said this channel was secure! [Admin] War Witch: Scouring... [Admin] Neuron: As secure as anything relayed through Anti-Matter's armor is [Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: You two brainiacs figure this out and get my invasion comms secured or I'll have Praetor White smash your heads together like grapefruits!

[Admin] Neuron: I've spent many years redoing Anti-Matter's tech, this won;t take long [Admin] War Witch: I'm spreading out some War Walkers -- they're totally clumped near the Monorail.

A man has a right to sit on his throne without someone elses *cough* all over it! [Admin] Second Measure: All you did was stand in Pkcet D drinking Tea, WW, I was watching

@TURGENEV - Freedom Server / IRON / B.A.N.E / HORDE

Turg Fiction: Ghost in the Machine Acts III & IV coming 2012!
Turg Fiction: IX is now LIVE on Architect Entertainment!

I like how Tyrant slowly fell aprat during the invasion - from all the stiff-armer nonsense of his opening speech to ranting about seagulls at the end

Hmm, which War Witch showed up to defend is my question .

I admit, I enjoyed BS's "fancy armor" bit.

Thanks for posting this! The devs were obviously having fun playing their roles.

It's weird...I was seeing all of Zwillinger's comments, and the Praetorian bad guys' banter, but I don't remember seeing any of War Witch's, or the NCSoft_GoodEvil announcements. They were all using the Admin channel, right? Maybe it was just scrolling by too fast.

The feathered crusader Null D. Gull strikes again!

Null soiling the cars, jackets and thrones of villains everywhere.

Many thanks for posting this, Turgenev. (I lost track of much of the dialogue while in the thick of the fight at Ft. Darwin, and then the connection to the map server was lost and CoH crashed.)

I missed this due to RL and such, but it sounds like it was laggy fun. My only comment would be that I hope the Devs consider coming to other servers (and not necessarily for events) to play their characters alongside other server's heroes. I've always been advocate of seeing the big names out and about, and this was such an occasion.

I take it of course, their powers were equivalent to that which they were fighting? And was there an actual Cole sighting?


S.

Face it, none of us were necessary. Null the Gull beat the invasion all by himself!

Sorry I missed it. Ah well. Real life FTW!

Yeah, it seems like each major zone got its own dev/OCR person in it. We had somebody running Infernal in St. Martial.

Well, exposing how fake the loyalists are is a major part of GR.

Bobcat actually confirmed in Pocket D on Thrusday that Sister Silicone's look involves plastic - so it's not just a rumor - it's been confirmed by a red name.

It wasn't about her outfit - Bobcat made the reply in response to suggestions that Neuron had enhanced her too.

I'm just exposing loyalist lies - it's what the Resistance does, according to the GR website
