So apparently I'm in a relationship with everyone on the Justice server. No one has any children by me yet, have they?

Someone get Paul Harvey on the line. I need the rest of the story.

Hi all,

As you may be aware I have been away from CoX for a week or so due to the arrival of mah little sidekick James! So to satisfy curiosity attached are a couple of photos. First our very first family photo, when James was about 5 minutes old and the other sitting on his Grandma's knee looking about the shop at approx 15 hours old.

Wee James

What is everyone on Justice getting bored at the same time?

Did I miss a memo?

A lot of people are upset at how the Dev's handled the introduction of MA, and the discipline issues and forum moderation issues that followed. They are voting with their wallets.

Bye Merc.

Also, what AT and powersets did you attempt the respec on?

I remember an old bug where kheldians crashed on respec.

Has anyone mentioned EvilGeko yet?

He doesn't post much in the Justice Forums, because he's too busy posting everywhere else. Except for that time he decided to stop by and declare himself overlord. Good times.

He also stars in his own line of commercials and has a freaky british accent that keeps changing.

Kat's are soooo demanding.

I think they'll 'correct' this 'problem' in the traditional way- quiet rule changes, no punitive treatment of players.

It's an approach that's historically worked fine and generated far less hostility and drama than the 'new way' they tried to pave in I14.

I hope you are right. Although I am sometimes miffed at some nerf or other, I usually realize when something is too good and realize (once I calm down and get rational) that it's a necessary change.

Removing the comm officer and super imp XP was necessary. The stern discipline wasn't.

Meh.

BaBs has always been funny and fairly open with the community and Justice community in particular.

I have no problem with him posting in here as a joke or in a serious matter. But I don't expect him to comment about work stuff too far afield from art and animations.

It's not his style nor should it be.

(Now can I have a lance and morion?)

I just googled "Marvel Maiden" and most of the links referred back to your character, none that I saw referred to an existing comic book character.

Appeal. Be polite but firm. Ask for escalation to a higher authority if you do not get satisfaction.

The people who run the forums are not the devs, but the mods. That is not a mere semantic difference. When you report a thread, it notifies the mods and if violates the rules of posting, it will get edited or deleted. Repeatedly getting moderated may result in loss of posting privileges.

The mods, I assume, read the OP after someone reported it, saw no violation of forums rules, and carried on. They may or may not have passed the information to the devs or to customer service (the GMs).

The devs or GMs may not care about Smurphy's experiment, or they may not have heard about it yet, or they may be giving it a tacit vote of approval. Know one knows which.

To assume differently is pure folly.

I personally think that leveling quickly is tolerated on the fringes. As long as it's only a handful of folks and it doesn't involve an exploit, I don't believe the devs or GMs will crack down. When hundreds or thousands of players level at the speeds Smurphy is reporting I predict you will see a crackdown which may include nerfs, discipline, and stern posts from on high. But I don't have any particular empirical evidence for my prediction other than past history.

We must assume actions that don't trigger a hostile response have not crossed any of their invisible boundaries.

Do you know what happens when we ASSUME? It makes an [censored] out of U and ME.

Happy birthday, Peep.

You're so sweet, and soft, and . . . marshmallowy.

I wouldn't attribute too much to it.

I appreciate Smurphy's thought and effort. But if I was a dev and I had a speed limit I didn't want anyone to know about, then I probably wouldn't post it and I probably would avoid becoming a datapoint in Smurphy's experiment.

In other words, we can't really tell if they experiment failed to trigger the RED ALERT siren or if they simply chose to ignore it.

Don't be a tease. Tell us what you think, Arcanaville.

Quit jumping out like that in my threads, BaBs!

You're scaring me.

P.S. BaBs, can you whip up a lance for me? Please? Pretty please? I'll give you free jump out in threads coupons!

I already have a broadsword/shield. So maybe an axe or mace/shield tank.

What I really need is a lance.

Hmmmm . . . what powersets would Don Quixote Flea and Red Sancho Panza have?

P.S. Someone get Sexy Jay to whip up one of those Spanish conquistador helmets real quick for me, please.

Justice also has Staturday Night Fights, where a bunch of folks of different skill levels go to the pocket D arena.

Some Saturday nights are themed or a sponsored contest, and sometimes it's just free-for all. It's sponsored by Justice Radio and sometimes co-sponsored by PERC or other people.

I think it starts at 9:00 pm eastern. For more info.

This is why I love Arcanaville: Even when I have no idea what she's talking about, she says it so precisely that sometimes I feel my brain expanding and I catch a little glimpse of something that makes sense.

Speaking of /ignore . . . .

Whatever happened to Fusion Blast? He/she personified crazy, Justice-style.

HA!

Thanks for the laugh Mermie!

Also, even though I may get frustrated by it at times, I do want to thank the crusaders, the "whiners", and yes even the [censored]-hats for taking the time to post. Sometimes you make this a better place. I appreciate the results, and the efforts, and the thoughts behind the efforts, even if I don't always appreciate or agree with the form of those thoughts & efforts. I appreciate it because it's something I'm not willing to do myself, but get to enjoy the benefits of anyway.

So, thanks!

For my part, I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing. Try to make things "better" in my immediate vicinity, at the time, in ways that are easy & convenient for me. I know I'm not always going to get it right, and I hope you'll be able to forgive me when that happens. All I really expect to accomplish is to do the occasional "good deed" every now & then, because sometimes, that's exactly what someone NEEDS.

You can be Sancho Panza to my Don Quixote.

To the Windmills! Ride, Sancho! RIDE!

I went with Scirroco set.

Posi, I am usually on most weeknights from about 8:00 - 11:30 pm eastern, sometimes less sometimes more.

You have me on global friends list now so let me know when you want to trade.
