Someone clearly likes Wierd Al... o.O

Zombies crawl out of the ground. Rikti teleport in. Ergo, neither of them are falling in an adequete manner to even consider an invasion to be raining Zombies or Rikti. The bombs, maybe, but that's it. >.>

"This had better be good, hun." The immortal Patsy Crusher answered her mobile in a slightly apathetic tone. "Aye, alright, I'm listening, but could you kinda make it quick, like? Aye, but I'm kinda in the middle of bouncin' this ugly bugger's head off the footpath and he's starting to squirm a bit."

"NOT LIKE!" The ugly bugger in question scream as it struggled to shake his leg free from the grip of his 127-year-old captor. A 127-year old captor that kept her teenage looks for more than a century and showed no signs of stopping any time soon and was now in the process of dangling the helpless Dyne junkie upside down and bopping his head off the pavement at regular intervals. "NOT LIKE! NOT POGO STICK! NOT POGO STICK!!"

"Aye, that was... does that even matter now, hun?" Patsy continued, holding the Troll just inches from another bopping. "He went after me first, alright? Good. Get to the point or I'm hangin' up. Mmm-hmm. Mmmmm-hmm. Aye. Aw. You want me to... no problem, hun, I can..."

As she continued to talk to her caller, the Troll continued to squirm. Eventually, Patsy's grip let her down, leaving the green gangbanger to drop rather unceremoniously to the ground head-first. However, he was free and still concious, and still had a chance to make a break for it. Which he did.

"Right, hun, I'll let you know if I get owt." Patsy kept her sights fixed on the fleeing Troll. "Oh, and by the way... someone owes me a new mobe. Bye!"

The immortal didn't waste time hanging up. Almost immediately after she finished talking, she ploughed every ounce of power into throwing the phone directly at the back of her former captive's head. Bang on. Patsy watched the phone smash into tiny pieces against the mutated thug's bonce, stopping him dead. Well, not quite dead, but he stopped, and he looked like he was on the verge of passing out. Unfortunately, this was Skyway City, and both the Troll and the highly agressive hero had been on its namesake the whole time. No prizes for guessing where the Troll went next.

"Aw, you flamin'..." Patsy watched in semi-horror as the poor bugger stumbled over the edge and down a drop that would have been certain death for most, if not all mundanes. Rushing over, she then peered over the edge, fearing the worst.

Thankfully, a group of Supa Trolls had broken his fall. Patsy let out a sigh of relief right before noticing a Troll right beside her that had rushed to see where and how her Troll had landed, foolishly ignoring her very presence.

"Dipstick." she muttered as she rolled her eyes at criminal stupidity at its best.

Bringing a fist up to his face in one quick and seriously painful (for him) motion, Patsy then grabbed the Troll by his belt, tossing him over the edge but catching him by the leg just in the nick of time and dangling him upside-down over the previous one's landing spot.

"Alright, hun. I've got a few questions and you're gonna answer them. And if I don't like your answers, you're joinin' your mate down there. Clear?"

Flamin' hell, what have we started? o.O

Meh, someone's bound to cry if it's turned off, so I didn't consider it viable. >.>

The only viable solution to fixing the rep system that's ever going to genuinely work is, frankly... switching it off in your UserCP. That's it. The system isn't perfect, and never will be, no matter how many 'fixes' anyone wants applied. And it's not like anyone's really taking it seriously, are they? Look at the Forum Games. :\

Besides, the solutions to your complaints would do more harm than good. Anonymity gets axed, you'll have people revenge-deducting, for example. Hardly what you were hoping for, were you?

So far only you've just suggested those. :\

Am I the only one using Firefox that -didn't- have that problem? o.O

That, or he got the December 07 issue of PC Zone UK. Maybe.

They gave away boxed copies of the Deluxe CoH and DVD CoV on the front of that issue. Was how I got into the game myself.

City of Heroes and Villains doesn't really make much sense. Not that City of Villains makes much sense anyway when you look at the Rogue Isles, and to be honest, I don't want to. All the grimness makes me a sad panda.

Any other ideas are just likely to confuse the flip out of people, those familiar with the City of name and those who completely failed to notice its existence up until no alike (amazing, such people exist), so it's probably best NC/Paragon sticks with what's worked the past 5 years.

"Basterd" might be pushing it a little for a superhero game like CoX.

(Shut up at the back or I'll give -you- a Tarantino chin!) >.>

But anyway, a safer suggestion would be to call it "Inglourious". Keeps the ESRB happy, right?

I think everyone just posts any and all fanfic here now, and have done since the new forums went up. So... post away.

((Well, I'd have thought someone would want to investigate why the hell a large boat just popped out of nowhere and crashed between two zones. As much as people want to kid themselves, like the failures in the GGOOC channel this side of the pond are doing as I type, it's not a common occurence that anyone wanting to call themselves a hero would want to simply shrug off, you think?))

((And... it's not just restricted to anyone who's 'in' on it, not that there were many anyway, being on the surface a spontaneous event. :P ))

Somewhere between Skyway City and Talos Island's War Walls...

A large object has appeared above Paragon City in a very large (and probably bothersome, depending on people's opinions of 'bothersome') puff of dark smoke! To call it a UFO would be as accurate as any other unidentified object, however in this case the F stood for 'Falling'. No sooner did the object, described as a cargo ship in the sky by several witnesses, appear did it begin a rapid descent towards the ground. Perhaps it was a cargo boat after all.

Nevertheless, a large cargo ship-like object has just slammed into the ground, causing tremors across the surrounding zones!

*************

Skyway City...

Richie Stacker, the Crazy Dragon, cringed as the object crashed rather unceremoniusly crashed down to planet Earth. The poor Durham lad almost fell on his backside in the resulting quake, too. However, Richie maintained some semblance of balance, gaining instead a rapidly growing sense of dread.

"I knew something was gonna go ape-mess," Richie muttered as he made a mad dash for the Talos exit, not far from his current location. "I just flamin' well KNEW IT!!"

((Okay, what peoples immediately need to know: There is now a large cargo vessel of the planet Earth's seafaring kind planted firmly between Talos and Skyway City. Until someone investigates, this is all that is known to anyone who noticed. No obvious signs of life on the upper decks, bridge included - not that you would expect that, really. The boat seems to be creaking slightly from side to side. Just barely, but it's a sign it's not sitting in a stable position.))

((Finally, as per the thread title, this takes place in the Unionverse.))

I'm not sure it's even worth the bother, to be honest. There are far too many badges in the game to apply as acheivements if you ask me, and even if you just picked a select few... what's genuinely acheivement-worthy out of hundreds of them, besides the L50 ones both sides? o_O

Some people will give you negative rep over the piddliest thing, even just to spite someone. It's generally unavoidable, and your suggestions won't really serve to put a stop to it. Hinder slightly, yes, but not enough. There's already restrictions in place, in the form of being forced to "Spread the love" before you rep a recently repped member for a second time in a row, but like that's doing anything genuinely useful.

You can, however, turn your rep meter off, so if it's becoming too much of an issue, just pop into your UserCP and disable it. Problem solved, basically.
