But I can't WAIT for i24 to hit the beta server to see what the devs forget to disable this time! A new powerset? A new [Redacted]? The Powerset and [Redacted] that they slipped last time? Super Packs 3? Instant level 50s?! Mind? T5 Incarnate abilities?|

Nothing that's been discussed has broad Marketing Value. It's all very Community centric and really is something that's only interesting to current/former players of the game. When we're closer to beta, we'll release a full Issue 24 overview (I was just talking to Black Pebble about this today). And here I thought that the Community would be excited about getting news about upcoming changes prior to the actual announcement.  |

also good. But i still like the tapeworm..maybe we can give the sharks one? I think it really holds the analogy together.

Of course, it's a bit of a paraphrase but it gets across the same point they made in a similar manner as to how they made it.
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.

I'm sorry, but you will have to bring forward better evidence if you hope to convince anybody...

So that would make all of the discussions of the changes they've announced as coming in I24 (such as this thread) threads that need better evidence?

I have to admit, typing all of this sarcasm without any emoticon indicators is a bit painful...
Still... Whether or not Paragon Studios will choose to adhere to the standard of the number 24 following the number 23 and preceding the number 25 is largely unknown.
I suppose we could take a look at what other elements of the game have followed this trend and attempt to extrapolate whether or not we can expect their Issue numbering system to follow the same guidelines...
When leveling a character, we do attain level 24 after level 23 and directly before level 25...
I've not checked all of the enhancements, but all that I have used seem to follow this same numbering system of 24 being directly in-between 23 and 25.
A full league of 3 teams does come out to 24 players...
However, we can't have a league of 25 players... So, I am not sure what would happen if we were able to add one more player to a 24-player league...
Any other examples?

Moonfire's task force has a minimum level of 23. Citadel's and Ernesto Hess's task forces each have a minimum level of 25. There is no task force with a minimum level of 24. Therefore, there is a precedent in the game for skipping 24 and moving straight from 23 to 25.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.

Do not judge them too harshly, o Zwillinger. Forgive them, for they know not what they do. (Plus, religion!)

So there is a precedent for Heroes getting one thing with 24 and Villains getting something similar yet different with 24.

Uh....no? The dev chat stuff has been awesome so far.
If, however, you had been talking about the recent Twitter-based announcement, then yes, you would be correct...

so one can conclude that issue 24, if there really is one, will be boring, make things too easy, and give you a respec.

If they do that, I will take up a collection so I can order the largest food basket I can find online and send it to Paragon Studios.

Since you mentioned other things in the lyrics that haven't been specifically announced for I24 I decided to point out the elephant in the room that you didn't mention, the text errors.
Since they referred to it in that manner, I have to hope that text errors are on the list of "all the things".
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.
