I'll second this. Global channels (the method usualy tossed out) can help a great deal but they aren't obvious. Anyone new to the game won't know about them and as I alt a great deal they can be tough to keep up with (they die, people move to another one, etc.). Personally I think they just add to the problem in some ways - we're told "it's not easy to see people because this is a game with instances in it" and yet I feel they just add more instances. We need something more universal and direct.

Welcome to my world. I've been playing on Freedom and Virtue for years and these days I'm lucky to find people to team with due to me crazy, crazy antipathy to playing either of my two 50s*, because my normal play-time window is anywhere in a 3 AM up to about 10 AM window. Playing on Pinn or someplace? I could recite dirty limericks over broadcast and no one would ever know.

But I wish you luck with your crazy game! Maybe I'll get a chance to team with you, that would rock.

And yeah, what about leveling pacts?

* Who could have predicted that playing the same character for about a hundred hours could lead to boredom???

This was pretty much my thought process as well, including the song. Then I stopped and thought "oh right, 'always new stuff for 50s to do', so I can guess this will be for 50s too" and my song changed into a sigh.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.

What do you think FaceBook and Twitter are all about?

Fits for a quote about any topic!

Which is what I was mainly addressing with my comment. Who says that interesting historical figures should be treated like a limited resource and only used "when you're really sure THIS is the best time/way to"? (And did they just ruin Stevie Wonder in that way too? ) One might guess that Moffat did think this was the best way, perhaps he's just not very interested in Jack (he is pretty cliche these days).

Adding to my first comment about historical period: by letting us know she'd taken out Jack, he's also telling us just what this lizard lady does with herself and her time in London ("crime fighter!, rescuer of humans!"), all in one quick run of dailogue. I call that pretty good writing.

All that aside, this isn't the first time the show's stepped on it's own toes continuity-wise; I seem to recall hearing it's had like three different versions of Atlantis, for instance.

First come, first served and finders keepers, imho.

Also - I wonder if TVTropes has ever addressed this?* - I think Jack was tossed in to help establish the historical period, not "make her look cool quickly" - sort of like how anyone time traveling always has to meet the most famous people of the day like Mark Twain, Cleopatra, or... Jack The Ripper. It's a common enough crutch.

*and no I'm not asking seriously so don't bother to give me a link if they did.

I heard it in Cap, standing near the arbiter not far from the didn't-exist-then AE building. I was running my stalker, who is my only 50 redside. I don't think she was 50 at the time but darn close; she'd probably recently run a paper mish or something with the Nemesis army would be my guess.

That's because it takes some skill to tell a story; most farms tend to be cookie-cutter reuse of the same power sets. Also, you may be grading hard.

In that vein:

*News of an updating for the MA system.

Must be your nearness to the border, I live in Colorado and I wasn't affected - I still don't like hockey.

I'm hoping he doesn't, but if anyone can do it and make it work, I think it'd be him. But still, please no.
