Oh, my, i23 is out, and it's time to pay the piper, Arcanaville!

And now that I've seen the actual movie...well played, Arcanaville. Well played.

So is that Arcanaville's actual character that she plays in game? What powers is it?

That's actually my main, and she's Energy/Energy/Force. Laz provided a costume file to allow me to insert him into the action, but I don't actually know what that character's powers are: I just made a random controller and gave it teleport (after PLing it to four) so I could get the teleport effect.

Why was she bowing to Null?

Hey, you know...
Since there still is no sign of the UI work being done...
There's room for another bet, if you want to try and win back your earnings, Arcana...


Also, meant to say this before... I love the costume, Laz (New Ruler of Maths).

I'm berating Null the Gull. I'm bowing to Lazarillo. And its all your fault, Official Red Name Paragon Studios Representative.




Hmm, I think I have a script idea if I decide to do another video.

Pthhthh. My mistake this time was betting on something before I was certain I would win. I ain't making that mistake twice.

*notes further proof that Arcanaville has not gained access to time travel... Hrm... or is this just a simple ruse to make me believe as such... *

Oh, she does...she just went back far enough to amend the terms of the bet in such a way as to...reduce...the humiliation involved in losing. Blinovich Limitation Effects and all that.

I could tell you to read the thread, but that would be rather rude.

Instead, I'll quote the OP so you get the gist of things.

As my note dictates, this was your post for the terms of how the bet would be decided:

Quote:

By I23 would be more fair. I21 is toast. I22 is iffy, but the interstitial time between I21 and I22, or more likely between I22 and I23, would be reasonable. If they are going to do it at all, I22 maybe, I23 definitely. Past that point, and I would have to concede they are not interested.

I don't really need anything in-game. So we'll make the bet something more intangible. Whoever loses must post a picture of themselves bowing before Null the Gull while extolling the foresight of the other.

Which actually levels the playing field tremendously, because there are devs that would deliberately delay the change to I23.5 just to see me have to do that.
So then...I believe you have a picture to post.


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.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

That was hysterical. Nicely done, Arcanaville. And congrats, Laz. Gloating looks good on you. Well...you know, on your character. :-)

I lucked out there: Lazarillo looks *exactly* like someone that needs a "kneel before Zod" emote.

Ok, I'll admit it. Laz also looks like Dark Watcher's younger pimp brother. But that didn't quite work for the video requirements, and I couldn't position him properly in any of the Plymouth Furies that seem to circle Talos.

I couldn't think of a good way to capture the terms of the bet in a screencapture, so with Lazarillo's consent the terms have been extended to allow for a video submission. Here she is.

Watch it again just focusing on Null.

I'll take the costume compliments! But Arcanaville can keep the math. Trust me, my mafs are not worthy.

...technically, since I showed up in i5, and Watcher showed up in i10...doesn't that make him my little brother?

Also, Devs, please add me to the list now of people who want vehicle travel...

Well, Dark Watcher (as a Hero) predates WWiI, I believe.

We just did not have any in-game representation.

Double or nothing the devs buff Blasters in I24. Any takers?

Hmmm. I'd be willing to take that bet. Could be fun having a video of an Energy/Energy/Force blaster burning in the flames of a Fire/Fire/Flame blaster when neither of them get buffed until I25 (or later)! You do have the Ghoul death emote unlocked, right?


Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.

Laz already has his trophy. You'd have to put up stakes.

Its relatively easy to unlock just about anything on test and/or beta. So just about everything is up for grabs. I can take the heat, if you can survive my imagination.

Hmmm, a KB fest seems potentially appropriate? Watching your blaster send mine flying frequently and interestingly could be entertaining (and I know you like to find those special ragdoll effects). But I'd be up for other stakes once your imagination gets rolling.

Hmmm. Devs buff blasters. If they simply buff every range blast set for all ATs, but add nothing else to blasters, do you still win? I am OK if you do, I just want the terms clarified. I will concede defeat if blasters get this phantom buff anytime before I25, it doesn't have to be with I24 release.
