Before I call out "Cottage Rule?" I have to ask--what is that "Base Fix" in the notes? I don't understand.

The "Toes of Mu" animation had other issues.

From English to Bulgarian. Be much easier if I didn't have to deal with things like "retroviral oncogene v-erb-B." I don't know what that even is, let alone what, if anything, it translates to. -

I didn't even know the servers are down. I'm bogged down with translating a godawful biology textbook without actually knowing the first thing about molecular biology. Eh...
SCIENCE!

I still use it on my 50s but by then I also tend to have a lot of global accuracy going to help it hit. I just enjoy it too much to remove it or brawl from my power trays.

Please tell me you people have been working on this. I'm kind of interested in seeing a Shia and/or Juggy sketch of the loading screens.

Is this a troll attempt, or have you (the OP) seriously missed the firestorms raging in the last threads about this?
In any case, only YOU can decide whether or not this is worth it to YOU.
As for ME? I waver between LOL, NO and ****, NO. -
I HAVE TRAPPED THE BAT ON OUR SUN PORCH.
The DumpleSpouse was rendered catatonic by the bat's powers of hypnosis, so I was forced to use an alternate egress. Later today, MiniDumps and I will escort the bat out of the Dumple-Estate. -
Soooo it's like the Ouroboros Portal, then?

I almost peed I was laughing so hard. Leo, you still rock.

Another unique weakness I've discovered is...ATs. I mean, my main is supposed to be pretty hefty in the arcane arts department. Not outrageous, just sort of a quiet force content to stay in the shadows. My favorite other character is a Crab Spider that's gone full-on hero, even though he started as a merc.
Sometimes I hate the fact that my mystic warrior of a long and noble lineage with powers beyond those of mortal men has to hide and play support...he's a Defender. It's hard when my simple merc trying to find a place for himself in the world can tank an entire map set for +0/x8. I get jealous.

Ugh, yeah, this is one of the main reasons I try to avoid getting too involved with others' RP. I don't like having my characters require someone else to be around to be complete, so I usually give my characters a history point or personality quirk that allows me to avoid that.
Also I shy away from any serious in character relationships because in past experience I have found some people to get a bit "ookie". :P
If it was anyone else, I'd probably agree...but in this case, I'm going to use it as a plot point. But what about everyone else. I mean, is it really realistic that every single member of the family, bar two or three, was lost at sea over the course of several months? :/Quote:Originally Posted by Lady_Cyrsei
If she's never coming back I'd do a "lost at sea" like the original Mr. Bradey so if she ever does show up again your guy can be like "I thought you where dead? your plane went down in Peru!" or something >.>
Hell, even the supporting characters to the cast went and got lost at sea after that. -
Quote:Not having the bride around, or the family that "raised" the character means both the character and I are kind of rudderless. Thanks, Kai, and thanks Kae.Originally Posted by Kelenar
Yeah, this. If a big defining part of a character is how they relate with their wife, or the ruthless rivalry they have going with their partner in crime-fighting, or whatever, having that other person suddenly not around can really hurt things. Retconning the person away is equivalent to throwing months or years of RP out the window, often with character or plot progression that went along with it. Saying they're busy or whatever is the best solution I've found, but it's still lacking a lot of the time.

The problem with retcon is a lot of times those relationships have defined the character in many ways...Sadly I usually just end up playing different characters. Guess that could be a weakness too, I am far more inclined to play the characters with social connections than the ones without.
Also, I think you can only retcon so much, you know?
My main, who I usually refer to, is in a unique situation in that he's waiting for a marriage that will, now, never ever happen. But it works for the character, you know? He's just going to happily sit and wait for his eternal bride to come. His love is everlasting, and they're both theoretically immortal, so as long as he waits for her--it'll happen. Technically speaking, I'm not sure I could have ever dreamed up a more twisted scenario to throw at him--I'm just not that creatively devious. But I embrace it, because it also motivates him to pass on all the chances he has for happiness now...so he can wait for this idyllic future that will never ever come.
So that works for the character, in it's own terrible way. Ironically, a good friend and longtime SG/teammate faced a similar situation--and they elected to have the spouse declared deceased and create new RP opportunities by dealing with the fallout of losing that spouse.
But what about everyone else in that framework? You spend six years building a character; they have friends, relatives (my main has siblings, nieces, and nephews), enemies, contacts--that history is still with your character, even if it doesn't log in any more. That's probably the single biggest thing that keeps me from playing my main as much as I used to--it kinda makes me sad.
So yeah. My IC and OOC baggage is both a strength and weakness. -
If I found a business card from Arbiter Fabulous at my door, I think I would micturate in my trousers.

I don't even have to look at his tail. His left hand, the one with the furry bits and the drippy sphincter look? *shudder*
