Important - Message Control

I wanted to use Portal Corporation (because it's the gateway to many worlds), but demorecording a large crowd in Portal Corporation is a royal pain, because the whole place is rotated 45° (look at the map). In a place like Atlas Park, I can place the heroes in a square with two simple for loops; in Portal Corp, I have to use more complex code for placement... and I was sleepy.

People just don't know what a vigil is, do they?

They probably do ... but they were looking for an excuse to interpret the gathering negatively, and a vigil with torches is really easy to twist and pass off as a "torches and pitchforks" riot.

I noticed that a more recent comment was posted by somebody showing how empty Atlas Park in Guardian was, as if trying to say that the only people playing this game were the few thousand people at the rally.

And similarly, someone was bragging about EVE Online having a larger population of active players and a higher zone capacity, claiming that City of Heroes isn't worth saving because it only has a few thousand people playing it.

It's like I said earlier; it's the same kind of smug snark that I saw when Tabula Rasa got the axe. But I'm really glad that Kotaku went back and updated their article to reflect what the rally was really about, even if the kind of people looking to mock us won't care.
