OK.

Gotta set this out for folks to know.

It's one thing to put an in-character comment on your page about an adversary. But there comes a time when it turns into OOC sniping.

If you wish to engage in that kind of behavior, please, go start a blog someplace. VirtueVerse is not for that kind of OOC player versus player nonsense.

If you can't settle such things amongst yourselves, then the sysops will step in... and we won't be kind, we'll just remove references wholesale. And, if our edits are reverted... we'll simply lock the page once we 'fix' it again.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why? People can just ignore the page or the comment. Just seems like more work for the Sysops to police that kind of trivial stuff. There is a page that refers to someone eating Grae Knight's brain. I found it kind of funny. IMO someone should have the freedom to include whatever RP they desire on their page even if it is not very good (within the bounds of the terms of use of course).

[/ QUOTE ]

While I'm not privy to the reason behind this decision, it's very likely for legal reasons, Grae. Sad as it is, in many states a bit of flaming text deriding another person or a personal attack of some sort or another can be considered grounds for legal action - which means anyplace hosting such comments has a degree of culpability and is therefore subject to being on the receiving end of any potential lawsuits.

[/ QUOTE ]

I guess I misunderstood it. I was thinking the comments were IC stuff. I suppose if someone was calling another player not character a [censored] I can see a problem with that.

THE ROGUE KNIGHTS [u]est. January 2005[u]

The Knights are now looking for brave heroes and villains of all levels and archetypes. We currently have 11 super groups on the Virtue server. We are very active in all aspects of the game and have been nominated by the players of City of Heroes across all servers as one of the [u]Favorite Supergroups of 2006[u]! The Knights pride themselves with having a mature and fun group with some of the most accomplished players in the game. We have been in this game for over three years and have no plans of leaving.

[u]What we have to offer…[u]

<ul type="square">Teaming at all hours: The Knights are lucky to have a extremely large player base of about 200+ players. Within those numbers are players from around the world and many different time zones. This opens up the opportunity for players to find teams at odd times. Not just any team, but highly effective and fun Knight Teams!

Weekly Task/Strike Forces and Trials: The Knights have a great staff of leadership that is constantly checking with the membership to see what special task forces need to be posted on the calendar. It is not unusual on a weekend to see a half dozen or more TFs run in a day. If you need a specific task force it is highly likely it will done. Many of the Knights have done these so many times they can be completed in record time and efficiency.

Role-Playing: The Knights boast some of the finest RP found on this server. Monthly in-game role-playing events help players create custom story lines that they can play out both in-game and on the forums. The Capes and Cocktails RP forum thread is on its way to its third year of RP and has spawned many player run story arcs. Mission based RP is available for those interested and those that do not RP are respectful of those that do.

Rewards!: The Knights hold many contests and programs for the membership to reward them for going above and beyond what is asked of them. The “Oh, What a Knight” or OWAK program has been well received. This titled is given to a Knight who has embodied the virtues of the group and has been both helpful and friendly to others. The recipient of this title is given a PK Collectible Coin. We also reward all characters who hit the one million prestige mark with a one of a kind commission from John Becaro. You can visit his site or ours and see several of the winners. Many other contests are held throughout the year!

Beyond the Game: The Knights are much more than your average super group, they are a network of people from all walks of life…they are a community. To be a Knight is to be a member of a fellowship of 240+ people who carry on a virtual friendship that often times extends beyond the confines of the internet. The Knights have banded together to purchase commissioned artwork and produce in-game movies among other things. A real life meet and greet occurred at this past Dragon Con in Atlanta and another is being planned soon. Many friendships have been built that will only increase well beyond City of Heroes.[/list]
[u]How to Apply…[u]

To apply to be a Knight you need to first visit www.paragonianknights.com. Take the time to check out what all the site has to offer. Many of your questions about the Knights can be answered there. After you have decided that you indeed do want to be part of the Knights, click “Join Paragonian Knights” at the top of the screen and answer the couple short questions. This will set you up with a Guild Portal account. Finally, post a application on the forums using the format provided. Be as in-depth as you desire. After that is done one of the officers will post and provide you with contact info. You may also look up one of the in-game contacts provided below after posting an application.

[u]The Knight Groups…[u]

<ul type="square">
ROGUE KNIGHTS
The Rogue Knights is the City of Villains branch of the Paragonian Knights. They operate under the same guidelines as the Paragonian Knights. Even though the group is comprised of villains, all members are expected to treat each other and other players with respect. All current Knights are automatically granted acceptance into the RK upon creating a new villain. The Rogue Knights has a 30 day activity requirement.

KNIGHTMARES
The Rogue Knights – 2nd Battalion is the “alt” group for RK. Each member is only allowed one character within this faction. The activity requirement for this SG is 90 days.

VIXENS
The Rogue Knights – Vixens is the female character only SG. At the time of this writing, you can have as many characters in this faction as long as they are female. There is no activity requirement for this group.

TERROR LEGION
The Rogue Knights – Terror Legion is our role-playing group on CoV. To become a member of the TL, a player must first be a member of one of our other supergroups. The Terror Legion is also the group we base our superteams. Currently we are running a all Soldiers of Arachnos superteam with other planned soon.[/list]
The Paragonian Knights have an excellent and extremely active website and forums. We are currently the largest City of Heroes/City of Villains web site on Guild Portal with over 1,000 members and growing. We are presently the fourth largest Guild Portal website based upon membership alone. We have hosted over 1,000 events. We also are happy to have in-game coalitions with some of Virtue’s most active super groups opening up many teaming and in-game event options. If any of these groups interest you please visit our site at www.paragonianknights.com or send me a private message here or at graeknight@gmail.com and I can fill you in more.

The Knights are all about fun and getting to know each other better. Alot of the Knights have been together since their early days with CoH and have built long lasting friendships.

So are all these contest going at the same time or are they going one after another?

[/ QUOTE ]

The only ones that may occur concurrently are the PvP matches since they take a little longer. The other contests will be seperate times.

OK, announcement time.

During maintenance on June 28th we'll [u]be performing[u] a purge of unused content.

Content included in this purge:
<ul type="square">[*]Unused Images - [/list]
<ul type="square">[*]Images currently not utilized on any article page, category page, or user page within VirtueVerse.[*]Uploaded to the system prior to May of 2008.[*]Image is not currently categorized.[*]Images larger then 300K[/list]
<ul type="square">[*]Images Larger then 300K - Regardless of whether they exist on a page, any image larger then 300K will be purged. Users should heed the warning regarding uploading images larger then 150k.

Please review the list - there are quite a few on here that may be linked! At this point I'd recommend uploading a resized copy that does not exceed 150K in size.[/list]
Purges in the future will be completed on a quarterly basis for the above items during the closest regular maintenance with a notice provided.



EDIT: I checked the listings and saw content already gone... but I don't think Black Stig's been handed the keys to the database Zamboni JUST yet.

Any particular reason for this? Is server space limited?

I hope you have a good one Lady J!

Here is my Native American hero Coyote Storm. He is a Storm Summoning/Archery Defender.

I even did a pretty in-depth bio for him on Crey Industries. I got a compliment on him through an e-mail once from someone who was a member of the Cherokee Nation who saw my hero through a google search.

[/ QUOTE ]

wow, he's hot ! Do you have a snapshot of your in-game character he's based off of?

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks! Here are a couple screenies of Coyote Storm.

Coyote Storm 1

Coyote Storm 2

Coyote Storm 3

He also has the short feather cape but I don't have any screenies of it.

I think it'd be cool if they expanded the monkey cage to be the whole Pocket D. Real pvpers wouldn't hate it any less, but I can think of some conceptual uses (bar fights that are not text fights).

HAHA! That would be great!

I love these 3, especially DA with fog. I would like to see more arena maps with some environmental effects (i.e. the fog in the office building in the Ghost mission in Croatoa).
