I can't quite make out the first letter, I think it's either an R, N or a K. so the name, as far as I can tell is either

Nahl Manor

But, in the grand scheme of annoying Golden Girl posts, this was the most benign possible. She replied to your disgust at forced teaming with factual information that most of us already knew (that the Holiday Trial tab in the LFG tab meant we'll be getting Holiday trials). And you snapped back and essentially tell her that people hate her for posting like that. Just because you are open about not teaming doesn't mean Golden Girl can read your mind and realize you are keeping yourself willfully ignorant of what future prospects are coming in the game in regards to teaming.

Sometimes responding to GG that way is right. I don't agree that this was one of those times.

If the very thought of someone thinking you might have dared looked at the LFG tab really elicits that much anger in you, I must recommend you check out some kind of anger management. I would recommend a support group, but I know you don't like forced teams.

Yes, I get that you like to solo, and I even posted a quick work around for you to attempt to solo this trial right after her post before you forum-ically bit her head off. With Freedom coming, you don't even need 3 other people, just the ability to run 3 free accounts for a minute or two.

That wouldn't work either. I'd still have to team for a while, if only with myself.

Anyone that has met me can tell you that I don't even like putting up with me most of the time.


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.

*forgets what the fuss was all about*

Hey... who else here likes chocolate?

Oh, right... I don't care about post history, reputations (hey, what does everyone think of me, huh? Huh?) or any of that... But GG's replies to people's disappointment with the Haunted House thing's team requirement are less than friendly, intentional or not.

Hey, you don't like something? Well, let me tell you how it's part of the big plan... and that plan is to add more and more of what you don't like and more and more is going to be that way because that is the plan and the plan is the plan and it is what you don't like so, don't be disappointed because it is the plan and the plan is planned and there you go.

Thanks.



By the way... who here doesn't like vanilla?
Who here hates it when people use "vanilla" as a synonym of "plain".
Vanilla is delicious!

Also...

Anyone here enjoy City Of Heroes?
I do too!

Also, also, as well...

I really want jetpack costume parts... Short of jetpack costume parts... I do want to see sleek tech metal back packs... and even non-sleek junky ones too...

And a big red ball and a mountable unicorn and onion rings!
I like onion rings as well. Never had chocolate covered onion rings though... Have you?


Also, as well, also, and... Thanks again, again, again, again, again, again Von Krieger!!

I'm not sure how players would care, if they could only get jetpacks.

The holloween stuff reminds me very much of that game MediEvil. Maybe the devs could put a Sir Daniel Fortesque contact in. Very nice, classic styled visuals. But you can chalk me up on the "me want solo" side- something like that should have a different type of mission model. For instance, optional in mission goals that require team mates- like unlock the hidden treasure for some bonus influence and maybe some NPC easter egg comments or something- but the core map and mission would accessible to all including the solo player.

God, I haven't read that in ages.

It's too bad VK's connection went down while Zwill was talking about THE LAST DRAGON and singing El DeBarge, then we were talking about television shows for a while...

And Zwill TRIED to do the whole cool homey turn his hat backward thing, but just couldn't quite pull it off...

At the costume panel, I was the first in line during the costume suggestion part and I asked for Kheldian sashes. Second Measure wrote it down. I saw him do it! *squinty stare in California's direction* I saw him do it!

Can't recall if it was Arbiter Whiteboard or just plain "The Whiteboard" that was settled on. The Net was used as prior art to justify the lack of the "Arbiter" title.

Cave Gerbil and Honey Badger where the two names suggested for Leo (?), tunnel rat's husband.

*blurry tv time travel-effect transition to Second Measure's PoV at the panel*

We see Second Measure take a pen and write down on a piece of paper...
He is adding another bullet point to an expansive list:
"Ask Posi if he's willing to trade 3rd string Wide Receivers... Also... Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow."

Shame it seems we might not be getting the full length CoT skirts worn by Death Mages and such.* I guess we can't win them all, and I know my Necronomicon personification character will be using them in at least one of his costumes where he's not dressed like Rod Serling.

*If this this NOT the case, I will be extremely overjoyed.

one thing i'm wondering, are those cot pieces belts or skirts/kilts. this is important to me since if the are belts, i can use them on rian's full dragon form, with monsterous legs. if skirts/kilts, i can still use them on others but i shall shed a single manly tear.
