As for his buddy, he was once asked, "Do you have experience wiz le sabre?", to which he replied, "I drove one for three years.". The questioner then counter-replied, "I drove one sroo sree men!". His final reply: "Ouch!".

Yeah, yeah, I know. And I'd end up blowing off airships/flying Nemesis invasion cities/etc. even with all the problems for that reason. |

But the brass sub "sneaking up" and pinging every 33 feet just kind of... it just doesn't *work* for me. I mean, c'mon, we've got people who argued what model of destroyer the ones introduced with Sutter were. Some things just kind of end up really, really *jarring* (and they're different things for different people - this just happened to hit me that way.)
This is just going to be an invasion? I thought Nemesis was going to steal Statesman's body and create Cyborg Statesman.

Shh h h! Don't give him ideas. . .
Perhaps this event could also be used to destroy another City/Zone of the game? Adds some drama, doesn't it?

My vote would be for either Independence Port, Perez Park, or Nerva.

What I find interesting is that the location given (5 miles from Talos Island) is about 133 miles from the location of Rikti War Zone (41.55, -71.49). Just how big *is* Paragon City?

The first time or two, it does. By now it's getting ridiculous.

I think the pinging sound would probably be pretty quiet, it is just the sound of the metal expanding under pressure. Probably quieter than the sound of the clockwork engines.

This would hardly be a surprise! ... and yeah, stuff like that does bug me.

Or the whirring of mechanical engines.
Or the freaking huge plumes of steam coming out of the surface of the water.

I like the style of whoever wrote that post. Nicely done, reads well 
It does mean I'll have to do remove my own post from the Tribute thread in the story section, since this is an actual, honest to god OFFICIAL RP post. Which is great (since it was done well )

Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
Soon, Fallenz will have his revenge against Lord Nemesis. Soon Fallenz will repay him for the pain and suffering he, the family of Lt. Sefu Tendaji, and other victims of Nemesis' mad plans has suffer. Soon....he will learn the power of justice.
Next tuesday. For an event that is based on Statesman being dead.
...before the Issue update where he actually is portrayed as dead in the gameworld.
Hm, ok? Seems like it could've waited a week or two for I23 to actually be underway, but whatever! Sounds fun!

Thank you for this. I would have been looking all weekend.

. Also, while there will be a live element to it (more to come) the event is also scripted and will run simultaneously on all servers. (We got a weeee bit burned out running live events for a month straight last year .) |
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Ah, I see you have a machine that goes *ping*!!

I'm hoping for something a little more complex. This is Nemesis after all; he did say the point was to spread defenses thin... but not why.
