Why? Simple, most of the old garde are rednames as well. So they either kill of one who isn't or one who is ready to accept new challanges elsewhere. If Positron would leave the studio, that would make a big impact, this seems to me a grand farewell party.

When I am right, I wish him to have a nice careermove. If i am wrong that will mean that he is not leaving us at all. Win-Win!


If I did not have this theory I would say Statesman, by me. Or better said by all of us incarnates because he loses the favour of the well thanks to our actions. Bubba you sure we cannot have two entries?

Your first entry from here on in is 5 million inf. Each additional entry is 15 million inf.

If you have already made a guess at the reduced entry fees, you do not get to make a new first guess.

Not sure if anyone is having the same problem as I am but it gets annoying

1. The team has its hands full, neck-deep in code for hotfixes, patches (and don't forget sleep deprivation).
2. Meanwhile, Evil Geko finds a workaround for a forum bug.
3. DumpleBerry congratulates Evil Geko on such a good job (much-deserved!), whilst looking down his nose at Paragon Studios.
4. ???

I think "disgusted" is a strong word to use. Considering all of the changes, Issue 21 was a strong launch for an expansion/issue double-whammy.

Like some others I find if I can get a toon logged into a small/low pop zone such as Cimerora and play for a while I can then log other toons with a higher degree of success. If I can actually get a toon into the zone where the one I want to access is located, then I can load into that same zone (regardless of the server or character) fairly reliably. I only have this problem with my live install, not Beta.

When someone does a claim all, please have it SKIP an unclaimable reward and keep going down the list, rather than failing 5 times and then stopping. Or have it simply know and skip 50-only items on non-50s.

Thanks!

Now, on to the real post...

I got stupidly sentimental during my short time in Gemini Park last night, to the point that I had tears in my eyes. I'm sorry I didn't stay around longer, but, as much as it was great to see the park full, it was hard to think that it will never happen again. Sure I can go to Gemini Park via Ouroboros any time, but events like tonight? Or the much wished-for-but-never-quite-happened Gemini Park Revival... Nope.

But I'll have the memories. The first time I logged on to Virtue (in July or Aug 2004) I created a character in Galaxy and wound up in Gemini Park. It was wondrous. I was amazed! The entire park was a sea of superheroes! Blue names for as far as the eye could see! I lurked for a month or so, drifting close enough to the Legion of Young Heroes, or the Dauntless Reverie to listen to their stories. Or Freedom Factor, or KGB Special Section 8. If it wasn’t for Gemini Park and the role-players there, I wouldn’t have played City of Heroes past the first year, because I wouldn’t have found out about role-play and the interactive fiction-writing and world-building we all do together.

I feel sorry for the players who started the game after City of Villains came out with its bases and killed the Gemini Park scene. There was some crazy stuff back then, and crazy characters like: Dueling Dervish, whose player eschewed travel powers for his natural origin character; Killer Whale, the fishy-eating, lovable orca-man; Cog Sprocket, the rogue Clockwork hero; Mrwrk the magical kitten who played at the feet of broodingly serious darkity-dark characters; Billy, the goat boy who was lonely for a mommy; Jessie, the near-powerless little orphan who lived in the underground home of the (possibly insane) Insectoid Knights, Shinsektor and Krickette; Swamp Bug, the giant water bug who talked with a gruff, halting voice, but whose philosophizing ran deeper than the river he swam in. There were so many stories going on. So many BIG stories. You can keep your Marvel and DC “events”. I’ll take the stories woven by Smersh and Red-eye, Pill Bug/Phantom Soldier, Troubadour, Vagabond Mage, Darkfang and Ravenbane, Vangelus, and so many others... stories rich and well-conceived, and yet flexible enough so that the other players who participated in them could actually have an effect on the outcome. And you cared about these characters and about their stories.

And there were many, many people I missed last night. I wish Maggie had made it back. I wish I had caught Ascendant when he was there. I wish Shae Firewarder (and oh, how I wish Creyon) could have been there. And Glory and Valor. And Lord Paladin. And Ms. Independence. Haley’s Comet. Tessarae.

I had intended on Roy Kirby (HEROID, my global and forum namesake character) to come by and spend some time catching up with old friends like Jake (Flea) and Parz and Reiki and Brian (Sea Hawk), but I just couldn’t do it. I got all choked up. It was the same, but it wasn’t. Don’t get me wrong – my short time spent in Gemini last night was great, and it was quite a reunion, even though some of family didn’t make it. But going back to the old home place for the last time is always hard. You realize that you’ll never have what you had back in the day. That you’ve moved on to other things, another (virtual, imaginary) life. Gemini Park was wonderufl last night, but it wasn’t quite... home anymore.

So, goodbye to Galaxy City. More to the point, goodbye to Gemini Park. It wasn’t a place. It was a moment in time. I’m glad I didn’t miss it.
