Yes, sorta.

1: If the "thousands of years" thing is correct, relative positioning of the Rao system would be VASTLY different than that of the positioning displacement of earth during the, shall we say, "hour" that it was turned back. If he was able to start, sooner or later the spatial displacement of the planet moving back through time would have probably tossed him out of the gravity well as the planet receded into the past.

2: If this kind of time distortion is only possibly in a gravity well of planet-size and larger, there may not have been enough left of Krypton to do this with.

3: Red sun. Superman was performing his time manipulations within the confines of a star system populated with a yellow sun, one that gave him his powers.

4: Because of 3, he probably couldn't have kept up the necessary "super" levels long enough, ESPECIALLY if the "thousands of years" thing is true. And, while the ship was more convenient, probably wouldn't have been able to keep up with stresses and power requirements laid upon it.

I could go on, but four bullet points is geeky enough.

Grandfather paradox.

There's also the whole thing with the Eradicator altering Kryptonian birthing matrices as well.

Also, we're talking relativistic speeds here.

It was five years for "us". It may have only been weeks or months for him, depending on how fast he was going.

And the spit-take from J^3's office was worth every...last...cent the book cost.


AND THEN SOME!

I actually have a toon who's well-woven with canon. She's not "related" to anyone, but she was sort of a failed dry run for the events that lead up to the creation of Terra.

Now Tectonica's a REALLY angry Stone/Fire tank.

But how the hell can you have an all-star horror extravaganza and NOT have Christopher Lee?

At least get him to be this film's version of "Ahnult" with a quick cameo, and that he's too busy because he needs to run off and drink some blood...

I take it you're looking for them to take advantage of their defense loophole right?

Yes, yes it was. THAT made me feel super.

I came into the raid with 8 EoEs in e-mail and an empty inspie tray. By the time we got done with Monster Mash, I had 15 EoEs in tray and had stowed a couple large inspies in e-mail as well.

Okay, for future reference.

You should respect the right of others to HAVE an opinion.
You are under no obligation to respect the opinion itself. Especially when the opinion is built of naught but fluff and idiocy.

Remember they're like ***holes. Everyone's got one. And everyone's entitled to their own wrong opinion too.

Hey SpaceNut. You have my condolences. Cancer's a rough way to go, both for the patient and their family.

On the bright side, your dad no longer needs to take Hover or Air Superiority as prerequisites. Heck, he doesn't even have to wait till level 6. Fly's inherent for him now.

Okay, there is no "Rogue Server".

In the EU there are 4 servers, 2 english, 1 french, 1 german. They're all apparently hosted in Frankfurt Germany.
In the US, there are 11 servers, all of them apparently now hosted in Texas.

Your account type determines your starting zone choices.
IIRC, all new trial accounts start off in Praetoria (the zones with the best eye-candy).
Also IIRC, once you get your first toon out of Praetoria, you're allowed to use the Blue Side (Hero) and Red Side (Villain) starting zones as options.

Now you're usually around L20 when that happens. And trial accounts are level-locked at 14. To progress beyond that, you have to purchase the game.

Have you tried playing with various Warshade builds in Mids much?

One thing that helps, if you're on Win7, is to execute the updater with "run as administrator". Vista/Win7 can have some funny file locking issues with the updater being run in regular userspace sometimes.



Did you sign up for a CoH US account or a CoH EU account?

Oh it's considerably more than just insane.

Unfortunately the things it is besides insane will merely get censored out by the word filters here.

Currently have my human-form WS in the late 40's.
Early on it was a bit painful as low-level Warshades are second-rate blasters.

But, once you're in your late 20's, there's this fairly natural progression and your effectiveness expands outrageously. Your only real kyptonite will, eventually, be enemy groups that don't leave corpses (Nictus, etc).

Currently there's a maintenance going on. You're going to get a (relatively) small patch that needs to be applied, then you'll be able to play again. Unfortunately this means you need to wait for the download to come in and apply. This can take a while.

If you're still having issues after that, post copies of your CoH Helper and Hijack This logs here. If you don't know how to do this, follow the link in my sig for asking for help in the forums.

Most of these simple chat systems don't have to worry about using the ID as a unique identifier for tracking virtual "stuff" while trying to balance concerns over both privacy and accountability.
