I take this to mean that a weapon-using blast set like Assualt Rifle will not have both a two-handed weapon (a rifle, shotgun, grenade luancher or the like) and a one handed option, such as a pistol (or even dual pistols).

Likewise, a wand-using set will have a blast that originates a few inches above the hand, so if a wand is in the hand, it will look like it fires from the wand, even though it is firing from the wand. Therefore, to use a staff or a larger-than-wand item, you will have to hold the staff in the middle (or near the end) in order to make the blast look like it comes from the end of the staff.
In the case of a large sword, it will have to be held in the middle (dumb!) to fire a magic blast from the tip. Or it will have to be held normally, with the blast coming from the middle of the blade.

Something Lovecraftian?

He has that effect.
I'll give him credit, though. His grammar and spelling have improved greatly since he started.

Edit for da credit: He has good intentions.

I'd stay away from alternate spellings, since the original is pretty good.

Option 1: DB/Nin Stalker
-body type other than huge.
-background: originally an enforcer for the Tsoo, he got involved heavily with thier illegal gambling operations.
-costume: white tights with black spade possible red trim. (alt costume: White with red diamond, black trim.)
Personality: slight obsessions with playing cards and his use of phrases related to "cut the cards", "Death of 21 cuts" and "The House always wins in the end".

Option 2: AR/Dev Blaster or AR/Traps Corruptor.
Male with any of the following costumes: military, street clothes, whatever.
Background: having lost so many of his friends in combat, he finally lost it when he had to be in the squad firing the 21-gun salute for his own brother. He quit the service and struck out on his own, refusing to be in a situation where he would fight on a team, and have to watch them die.

Edit: The name seems to just scream "Someone with an obsession" to me, so Natural origin, weapon-user. Blackjack and 21-gun salute were the two things that came to mind from the number 21. Legal drinking age doesn't make a decent character concept.

Although.......a multiple personality disorder, where all three personalities are seven years old? Probably not.

"Ray-gun or Sci-fi Blast set" suggestions are going to be your best bet if your looking for existing threads on this.

I could see a Blast set using a one-handed device as the start point of the blast, with weapon options of various sci-fi pistols or a wand-like item.
Make the blast color-customizable and you're set.
Well, other than writing up nine powers that place in in rough balance with existing sets and yet give it it's own unique niche.

It would certainly be more stealthy than the occasionally requested "Chainsaw Melee 4 Stalkrs plz!".

Currently use the free transfers to move characters around. You have until the 28th. Get crackin'!

Briefly, there was a redname registered on the forums as "BodyInBasement". (Name has been changed)
My conspiracy theory cooked up from nowhere is as follows:
Redside currently takes missions from Radio, Slot Machine, Television and (Tarantula-bot) #204. All inanimate objects.
GR to have a corpse as a contact!

I see my exact rep number by clicking on one of my posts, then notice it has changed.
Curiosity drives me to find out why.

You have to click on the "add Rep" button of each and every recent post you've made until you find the one with the comment.

This way, both good and bad comments are still there, but good ones are rarely seen, and bad ones go both unread and unreported. I'm not a fan of this recent method.

I'd slot that proc!

tl,dr.













((Just Kidding! ))

Snarky ones are perhaps borderline griefing. Nonsensical ones are more graffiti: a clutter and an ugly waste of space.


Hmm..

Perhaps:
1) Keep the Rep system and comments, but allow them to STAY collapsed in the User CP so that folks can opt out of seeing them.
(As stated before, I would like to participate in it, but would like those who hate it to be able to opt out, yay for options)
2) Have them automatically signed by the user, rendering them into a form of PMs that are quicker to send and come with a +/- of skittles attached. Yumm, piggy likes candy!


Starring threads: keep it until it gets abused, adjust as needed later. Looks like most folks don't know it exists currently.

Tags? Meh. If tagging gets to be a problem, folks can report them to mods. Click on post and report "Tags on this thread are <description>, particularly <specific one>." I've not much opinion on this one, I just wanted to mention it in the thread as it seemed related to the topic: How we forumites relate to each other and respond to each other's discussions.

Post count is nothing but a measure of how chatty someone is. A six-paragraph in-depth discussion being wieghted eqaully to a "no u!" post.
Usually, the only devisiveness it brings is when someone cannot back up an argument, they say, "Well, you are just being mean to me 'cus my post count is lower than yours! Everyone with a high count is a jerk, an an elitist cus they don't like my idea for <whatever>!". I wouldn't care if it were listed or not.
Thread stars? Almost never used.

But if you're going to get rid of these, then what about snarky or nonsensical thread tags? They're used far more than the two I just mentioned.

And thus, by provoking it, but not directly summoning it, I cannot be held accountable.
