I only have one question, it was asked by someone else, sorta, but it appears it was ignored.

My question is:
Is there a badge associated with this event?

 

Posted

Well, I'd love the badge but forsee lagfest much like I saw during the Praetorian invasion where I couldn't move, much less get where the action is.

Also seeing as this is on my oldest son's birthday I'm going to imagine it will be held during our dinner/bath timeslot.


Bah

There is if there are lots of Fake Nemeses in it. And that they're the kind that count.

Point. Emeraldine Bakafairy was willing to consider reforming for her love of Sefu Tendaji, and Recluse is solely to blame for his demise. SHE. WANTS. REVENGE!

Just fortuitous design happenstance. These things happen when one has an Orderly Mind. Of course, Lord Nemesis is the kind of old school genius who makes the final adjustments on his Death Ray by going out onto the 50' U-magnet mounted on the end, and twisting the carefully placed bolts running down each tine, flexing them until the resonance sounds proper to his masterfully trained (and engineered) hearing. Oscilloscopes and wave-form analyzers are for wimps who lack the proper reflexive grasp of mathematics.

Bah
The event itself runs all May.

We'll have some Live aspects to it, but Lord Nemesis is unleashing a sustained attack on Paragon City!

Not A Nemesis Plot will be onhand to fight against this dastardly plot! Because he's a hero and definitely isn't one of those Nemesis Automatons.

Cheers! This has prompted me to finally get Not a Nemesis Agnet (AR/Time Corr) to earn Moral High Ground and immigrate to Primal Earth for the festivities.

What about the Rogue Isle and Praetoria (redside and gold side for the players who play those sides)?

I had to stop reading a book - and, basically, an author - after he talked about someone being transported in a private cabin, with attendant and drink cart and extra seats, in an F-106.)
My gravity controlling fire-breathing alien-hybrid mutant-cyborg(with fairy wings) totally supports your call for realism in this game.

It's red sdie too - but story-wise, i'm not sure if Paretoria will be included or not - the 3 GR zones are now "historical" zones that take place at an earlier point in the timeline.

You'd be wrong. ;-) Longitude is measured from the prime meridian, up to 180 degrees east and -180 west.

Ya, the location puts it almost directly south of New Bedford and to the east of Jersey.

Without knowing if you meant to or not I read this in the tune of that one song can't even think what it is called but a looney toon (I think) sang it and the only part I remember is the really fast part where it says animal or mineral, someone please help me out here with that song, but I did really read your "poem" in that tune so +10 interweb points for you.

It is the 'Major-General's Song' from the musical The Pirates of Penzance.

Here's one performance...

(Do I get any 'interweb points'?
