Confessions

I didn't report clones.
I didn't understand why so many people who played SWG were upset about it being shut down until August 31.

I don't own a blender.

I emailed Posi with the Eden exploit (5-10 minute runs from the zone-in, tp through walls and just kill Titan) and we traded PMs forever but nothing happened until one day...the recipe rolls got replaced with Reward Merits.
Law of unintended consequences and all that.

Once got Exit to sing Righteous Brothers on Vent, which was pretty sexy.
Once got Syphonics to sing Chocolate Rain on Vent, which was not sexy, but frightening.

I once didn't heal Trezen in a pvp practice with dUmb just so I'd hear him scream on Vent. Always did my best in matches though.

When you could still get "Hall of Famer" or whatever it's called early on without too much difficulty, Beef Cake and his million accounts made an arc about beer, invited us all to vote for him so we have most of Pinnacle and other servers spam voting his arc. Eventually I think we got him to Hall of Famer before all the badges were zapped.

Speaking of Pinnacle, X-Funk (his name comes up a lot in this silliness events) got bored one day and decided he was going to try and shut down Warburg farms across servers. Since he knew I had a ton of alts on Champion, he asked me to be a spotter over there and he'd maybe split the ransom with me. You see, X-Funk figured he could ransom people's farms and it almost worked. Threads popped up on every server forum chiding him, people were raging nonstop and I think Ex Libris (or was it Lighthouse) actually started getting exhausted from it all heh.

Nothing major here, just a bunch of pve exploits for the most part.

I happen to be friends with the person who spammed every section with 2 Girls 1 Cup a few years ago.

I wasn't at the time, but years after that happened, it for some reason came up in conversation, and they casually mentioned it.

"That was YOU who did that?!" was my response. I'm still somewhat bitter.....I saw the video and couldn't eat for two days.

I was a beta tester. There used to be no limit of Aggro from snowstorm. One day I put snowstorm on one 5th column NPC in Independance Port. He ran accross the bridge away from me. When he came back he had more than 50 NPCs following him. It was like the Boston Marathon of Evil. I panicked and started running for the exit.

Fortunately I was the only one faceplanted from this. Later on I found on Tornado also had unlimited Aggro.

One more confession from me:

I have NEVER completed a Master Of badge on a team. Literally every one I've ever gotten has been solo (starting with two MoITFs, both completed in under an hour by different characters).

Oh, and if I really tried, I probably could try a Master Of badge on the final TFs. I've never managed to do them without a death though.

So yeah, my favorite thing to do in the game is to plan out a build, and solo stuff made for groups and leagues. Especially on characters without buffs and debuffs (yes, I know a Robots/Traps MM can do everything my TW/Elec can do, and more, but it feels like more of an achievement if I do it without the games most abusable system).

My brother figured out a bug with Trenchcoats to have invisible arms. He still has a few costumes like that. It sort of looks like Phantom Limb.

Sometimes invited villains into my hero side only missions, but in a co-op zone. It would flag them as a villain on entry if it kept them there, so I would kill them. It wouldn't always work.

You could also abuse the co-op zones to go to the opposite faction SG base sometimes. A byproduct of this you could drop IOs into bins but couldn't access them otherwise. I did that a few times to give my villains IOs. There were other ways to transfer IOs to the otherside but I never knew what they were.

There was a bug that would let you queue Assassin Strike but still TP away and AS from hundreds of yards away. Killing people standing in Caltrops or Rain powers was kinda funny.

One time on the test server, I was testing a build in Crey's Folly, maybe Issue 5 but I can't really remember. Anyway, there was a massive amount of Black Swans spawned out around the big building where the 39 Freaks spawned. Thirty or so at least. My brother and I tried to beat them but to no avail. We might still have a screenshot or demorecord somewhere around.

Oh:

For the first CoV beta PVP event in Bloody Bay, the devs told us that we'd be leveled to 15.

I looked at the stalker defense sets and saw that only one of the four sets (ninjitsu, dark armor, regeneration, and energy aura) provided status protection prior to level 16 - Dark Armor, with Obsidian Shield at 10.

So I made an AR/Dev blaster and made sure to have beanbag, taser, and targeting drone.

I then spent much of the event dropping caltrops and stuns on stalkers. I remember that Hide would work on police drones, so some would go into the helicopter to catch people on their way into the zone, and one beanbag and the drones would zap them.

My understanding is that my tactics had a lot of people focused on taking me out. I remember they set up an ambush with an ice/cold corruptor and actually got me once. Anyway, I was told later that apparently my tactics were causing a stir on villain broadcast.

Well, I was never involved in any of the big secrets or anything...there's only 1 thing I ever did that is confession-worthy.

A little background....my first ever character was a fire/fire blaster, Torched Earth, on Protector. I joined a SG, Knights of the Crimson Fist, and became pretty good friends with the SG Leader. September of 06, I left for Iraq, having pretty much only played this character, while making friends with a handful or ppl in this SG (and many others not in the SG). When I came back, the SG was barely active, and the previous leader had been gone so long he was no longer in the SG. He came back on shortly after I did, we talked, I got the new SG leader to invite and re-promote my friend to Leader. A few months went by, he went inactive again, secondary Leader became leader again.

A couple years passed, I was now a loyal member of the Justice server, on my new main Topher Wade. Out of curiosity, I logged back into Torched, and noticed the SG was completely inactive. The newish leader had been gone for about 6 months, and through attrition, I was about next in line to get leader spot.

After about a month, Torched became the leader. A couple months went by, and I realized I never played Torched anymore. I then looted every good Set IO, invention salvage piece, and Hami-O. Stopped playing the toon, and after a couple months, logged on to find him booted from the SG, with the following in my email:

From: Syanth (the new/secondary leader)
Subject: SG Base

Despite what his bio says, my main character Dale-Man was NOT bitten by a radioactive Dale.

I invented speed running tfs.

:S

I don't know, that looks pretty close to me. The only thing missing is a humongous gun (inexplicably with two barrels) in addition to the sword.

Despite my username, I never did get the coyote travel power.

I thought there was going to be plenty of time!
