Confessions

Now it's off to do dishes and eat dinner whilst watching S1E4 of Dr Who. The first episode blew, the second was good, the third...meh....we'll see how this one is.

At least I like the actor playing him. :-)

One thing I miss about the old hamidon raids was all the "mistells"

I'm the guy that bought pretty much every single Gaussian's chance for build up recipe over the last couple of weeks leading up to the announcement. Have like 40 of the damn things. Was banking on cashing them in when the PPM changes made them awesome.

Ok, another confession:

On the oft-mailgned wedding screenshot I put together for the Manticore-Psyche event, the devs requested one edit from me:

In the PvP section (pg22), there's a shot of a character from the event (name escapes me) emoting over defeated Positron (this actually happened in the event). I manufactured a later shot of Positron standing over that same character, returning the favor as the player protested "HAX!"

I originally had Positron doing the /teabag emote.

This was, I was told, popular with the devs but nevertheless changed before the final cut just in case some objected.

(also, this was before I was really effective at Demoediting. Everything in that comic besides that shot was a screenshot actually captured during the event.)

I made a toon called Jakarta and led a team of players in one-starring all the arcs of vocal AE forum posters for a week just because I was sick of all the anti-farmer self-righteous trash talk. With 15 of us having double accounts it was pretty easy to punish them in the one way I could....attack their egos and beloved rankings.

The ensuing forum drama was predictable: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=270079

I felt bad later and tried to lead a team to up-star the same arcs only to find several had been rage-deleted. Oops.

I didn't so much graduate High School but more so was highly encouraged to just stop showing up.

I've already forgotten about most of you

I've changed 2 SG bases in their entirety to nothing but toilet doors after they repeatedly spam invited me.

I'm the one who's responsible for the Gold-spammer response of 'But can you **** a walrus?' - I've been told this is now doing the rounds in Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2, WoW and a few other MMOs. It started here folks. It started with me. Sorry.

I'm the one responsible for bubbling Lusca's head with a Power Boosted Detention Field a few times in the past.

I actually enjoyed PvP in the past.

When The Ocho came as a Community Rep my first response to him was 'Tits or GTFO'. He then spammed my PM inbox with pictures of the aptly named bird. Lots of them. Even website links. I loled.

I think I'm the only one who has every ICly done the following in CoH - answered a question on a Virtue Sushi Squad event about nailing the lovely lady - with a hammer and nails and some wood in the shape of a cross. There was an awkward silence afterwards.

Also, the only one who has referred to Ghost Widow and the Widows in general as psycho feminist *******. And got away with it.

I once ASed an AFK GM in Warburg. He teleported me to Atlas Park, let me die to drones and TPed me back. It was funny.

I used to love with arena matches bugged out and loaded you into some poor level 1's mission. I will confess I had no shame in murdering them.

I am the grandfather of Spine/SRs in PvP. Before me there were none. Then they became FOTM. My bad.

I play the game hidden. I am almost always visible in global channels and to global friends, extremely rarely hiding from them, but I have been hidden from search since the option became available.

I even often hid from my own SGs, though when the option to specify what you wanted to hide from came about, my friends (who were often also in my SGs) could still see I was on that way.

By the way, you can tell when someone in your SG is playing while hidden by sorting the list by "Last on". If they stay near the top of the list, they're on-line.

I guess I've more than dabbled in SG hostile takeovers.

There's the SG on Protector I mentioned in an earlier post.

My main SG, Crimson Hero Society (lord I hate that name!), I originally started with a fellow lvl 10 (this is when my main character was in his infancy), who insisted on having "Society" in the name. I didn't want to try building an SG on my own, so I decided to let him have that, and we formed the SG. Over the next few weeks, I realized I couldn't stand him. Then he disappeared for a few weeks, and by the time he got auto-demoted out of co-leader status, I'd already decided to give him the boot. Since we'd (I) already gotten a good amount of Prestige into the SG, I decided to hang onto it and hope someday I'd be able to change the name.

My main VG, Chaos Faction (I actually liked that name!), I co-bought for somewhere around 30 mil inf from someone who'd already done most of the hard work. My co-owner had a friend who he let rebuild most of the base, and I went out and got most of the missing beacons. He had some personal issues, one that included not liking the game enough to stick around for much longer. Eventually, he was auto-demoted out of co-leader, and when I decided that I was going to take a temporary CoH hiatus, I removed him and any of his friends that he had invited, so as not to lose the VG.

Also, I don't know if anyone on Justice remembers the Green Flame Avenger and his SG the Avenging Flame (I think it was called), but I hated that kid. He was so annoying, and he started his SG the same time I started mine, except he would sit in Atlas and spam invites to everyone he could. I couldn't stand that, and the fact that he grew an extremely active SG made me hate him more.

Other than the fact that everything he said lacked a foundation in logic, the only thing about him that made me happy was when I would see him going after badges that I already had, while I stayed a good 50-100 badges higher than him. I even helped him on one defeat badge....until I got it, then I left him to figure it out on his own :-)
