You'll hit Renowned somewhere along the way, but I hadn't paid any attention to what my title was until you asked.

Well, I know Renowned is somewhere around 4000, maybe?

*sigh*

I wish I didn't care enough and just to put a bunch of smileys, but alas I cannot!

I know who he is. He's still going to lose to Corona in the forum title poll by at least twenty percentage points.

Yeah, but if you're going to drink bad, imported Mexican beer, why Corona?

I don't drink BIMB often, but when I do, I drink Dos Equis...

That card is from after I quit playing and as such does not exist.

Much like the newer, completely retarded rules on timing and damage dealing that broke a lot of the fun and silly things I liked to do that I still have yet to hear a real explanation as to why the way things had been done for over a decade was an unsolvable problem.

True story.

*Because teleport is for n00bz.

Wait.

Do kids these days still use n00bz?
Tiny, Tiny, Tiny. Teleport is now sooo in, since Long Range Teleport has been added as an option. Although it has been some what mitigated since the Team Transport (bus) has been made available. Still, it comes in very handy at times.

To be honest, I really don't care that much either. I started this thread as a joke, but it has become a mission, a goal and yes, I have found smiley's to be very effect.

Oh, trust me, I is irked at that change as well. And the keywording of "gain life from damage dealt" to Lifelink, breaking a few tricky stack combos/nerfing there too. *mutter* Oh, and the reprinting of Moxen, Counterspell, and other cards they* said would never come out again.

However, Duel of the Planeswalkers 2013 is pretty fun and a lot of Magic to play for only $20. Much cheaper (while more limited) than playing MtG:O.

*"they" being Richard Garfield and then Wizards of the Coast... Obviously, Hasbro has superseded these statements, pro'ly in teh name of monies...

hmm..... John C. Dvorak posted an article titled "Can You Google?" in which he states, "Many students lack search skills and their schools are to blame."

When Angelica was wondering when she would stop being a noo.. I mean rookie, I went to Google and searched:
site:cityofheroes.com forum titles

Now, the first few links were discussing the new colored titles. But the fifth link yielded the following:
0 Citizen
25 Informant
50 Recruit
100 Trainee
200 Rookie
400 Cohort
700 Super-Powered
1200 Mentor
1600 Legend
5000 Renowned
10000 Forum Cartel
20000 Cuppa Incarnate

Same here. I have probably 10 pounds of EXTRA cards - not counting my 18 decks.
What? Fallen Empires was super cheap and I like Thallids!

Don't you invalidate your point by providing the hyper-link to the article, or is it teaching someone to fish?

First of all, thank you. I now see what I am aiming for and I also see I have a lot of work ahead of me. Cohort sounds good, but Super-Powered sounds even better.

Many other students are just too lazy and apathetic to do the searches.

Lazy and apathetic maybe, but most likely just exhibiting Noob-osity.

OMG, you guys are the ultimate geeks, are you not? Hugs anyways and I am still hoping that you will someday emerge from your parents basements and get real lives.

"I am the 99%. Occupy the World."

Really? I have been associated with a member of the "unwashed masses". What has my live come to?
