As with most things, there is a balance to be struck. I don't think you should just concentrate on quality, nor on speed. If you don't put out a good product, niether you or your readers will be happy. But if you have too few issues, readers will lose interest in following the complete project.

My only constructive advice would be to consider scaling back either the number of issues, or panels per issue, so that you can have a good quality product that tells a story in a reasonable amount of time.

I think the concept of letting teams do their match at any point during the week was a good idea, because it allowed some flexibility, but it ultimately didn't work.

I think it's better to have a set date and time, even if some people can't make it. At least then the people that do sign up know that it fits into their normal schedule.

Also: does that mean Team I12 PvP wins?

I think that the best way to help new players is one on one on a team or through tells. I usually get very positive responses that way.

But other times when I have said virtually the same things in a full team or a global channel the person got a little defensive; probably because they feel belittled, even though I was just trying to be helpful.

Who?

My condolences for your loss.

And the bar nuts? I can't find anything here.

Oh, and HI!

It can't be anyone's birthday today. All of Justice celebrates birthdays in October. Everyone except me . . . I'm always left out.

*hangs head, kicks dirt, and shuffles away*

I'm cool with moving to a new channel if we have to. I trust Quartermain to make a good decision about it.

Is that ^ a picture of Con from 1976?

I have noticed disturbing increase in licking going on in this thread.

You could always make a video of a character walking out of AE and getting on the train and then send them a link to that.

Subtle AND helpful.

I feel your pain, Coming Storm. I had an AR/Traps blaster genericed once. He was called Osama Bin Hidin.

I eventually deleted him as I couldn't reach agreement with the GMs on his name.

I can be available around 8 if everyone else is.

Let's consider what a farm is outside of MMOs for a second. Farming started when hunters and gathers decided to stand still and plant seeds in a plot of land, cultivate it, and reap the harvest.

That definition was carried over to MMOs and games in general. When you stop moving around and stay in one place to cultivate your rewards, you are farming. It doesn't matter whether you do that in dev missions, AE, Ouro, arena, or a hazard zone. If you are staying in one place to harvest rewards, you are farming.

Farming, in and of itself, is not bad. The rise of civilation and societies is based on crop and lifestock farming. In MMOs, the availibilty of many in-game items and rewards are greatly increased by farming and do trickle down into the population beyond the farmers.

In real life, certain farms are disallowed. Coca leaves and marijuana immediately come to mind. Why are those farms disallowed? Because the derivatives of those plants are an inordinate amount of wealth concentrated into the hands of a few law breakers, which can lead to corruption, and a stuporforic effect on the population that uses the derivative drugs.

In MMO terms, things like the mito farms and meow farms have the same end results -- an inordinate amount of wealth concentrated into the hands of a few and stupified players that don't know how to do anything but sit on a stoop and watch the world go by.

Keep your main and make a new Lightslinger on another server. In fact, make a Lightslinger on each server and try the different powersets already suggested above.

If you come to Justice, I'll help you out.

I agree with the falling meteors but disagree on the zone.

Make it Bloody Bay. The meteors and shivans are already there, but it would be a blast to see them fall!

This patch also corrects the 1111112222chat bug and the globals changing colors bug along with some other odds and ends.
