LOL... All of you guys missed the fact that there is a inconsistency in tense in that sentence:

"He would have taken his nephew to get ice cream that Tuesday, if it wasn't raining."

should be;

"He would have taken his nephew to get ice cream that Tuesday, if it hadn't have been raining."

In casual speech, the "would have" would be shortened to "would'a" (or would've), and the "hadn't have been" would get shortened into "hadn't a' been" (but we're not supposed to write like that).

*chuckle*

When I was in college, almost all of the Professors in nearly every writing class I took (composition, playwriting, poetry, and more), kept saying "There is no such thing as an original storyline/concept/emotion in writing".

I thought they were full of it.

However, the older I get, the more I see how much so many things are recycled. Truly, it comes down to how clever you can be in your recycling attempts. I rarely use the phrase "that's original" these days... I do say "that's clever" or "amusing" or some other such descriptive.

When it comes to names, I don't feel that I'm all that clever. But I do make the effort to make them interesting at least to me. By using historical references, the thesaurus, Google, or even making a name anagram, I rarely have difficulty getting the names I've chosen. They are certainly not by any means "original", but neither are they so common as to be difficult to obtain in the game.

errrmmm.... no...

Gawd I'm old...

As I recall, they mentioned that the new graphics won't be applied to instanced missions/maps. It is because bases fall under that category that they won't see the new graphic, not because they are being purposely excepted. All the regular instances & maps will still be rendered with the same ol' graphics (there may be a few GR specific exceptions, but I haven't heard definitively on it).

As for low hanging fruit for base improvements, there have been several mentioned in the stickied threads of these very forums. I'm also remembering This Thread started 2 1/2 YEARS AGO.

It comes down to representation and communication.... it used to be much better. We had lists, we had rednames, we were organized... and then we were hit with i13. After that, I pretty much threw my hands up in disgust, and several of our primary players/architects left. Everything since then has had a very distinct feeling of shouting into an large, empty cavern and hearing nothing back but faint echos of vague promises.

Another link here, also.

Scrappers CAN be team oriented... IF the PLAYER is. But you are correct in that, as a class, they are not necessarily structured for it.

I do like a good team-oriented scrapper-player on my teams, but it is sooooo easy for them to go into "scrappper lock", that it is uncommon to come across someone who can restrain themselves.

A: A woodchuck would only chuck as much wood as Chuck Norris would allow it to, because the woodchuck shares Chuck's name. Therefore, Chuck must punish it and make it chuck as much wood as Chuck can. So, a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as Chuck could.

I need to amend this statement.... If you fight brutes more than 2 levels below you, you will only get ONE point of xp, even if you win (a win normally grants 2 pts.).

lol.... actually, stat-wise we're almost even. I just have one more skill and one more weapon to the advantage... but it's pretty random as to when/if they'll get used.

Not only do you have a pretty decent speed, you have the little knife, which inherently gives multiple attacks. I have faith that you will prevail.

Macbeth was also known by Glamis & Cawdor

I know.

Two threads in the Bugs forums address this issue.

Long discussion

You have to be lvl 10 to start a clan.

Then, I'm not 100% sure how clan invites work... I think you have to send an "invite link" for folks to join, or you can ask to join with the "join a clan" button.... but I think it's still done with linkys.

And for the day:

Are you talking about the net? It will hold as long as the thrower doesn't hit you through it. When the net-thrower attacks through the net they've thrown, it will disintegrate. It is most often used to hold pets. I've had pets held for the entire match.

If you're talking about when you get weapons knocked out of your hands, that is a special feature of the baton. The baton will also give you a slightly higher chance to block an attack. Not as much as the sword and/or shield, but a small chance nonetheless. Me likey teh baton... I get annoyed when my brutes throw them away.

LOL Looks like another Yeesha out there to vie with Yeesha1.

This.

We even had one of our SG founders come in just for the AE, then he disappeared when they "nerfed" it. Flake. NCSoft is not making any money off his account now.

Except that he really hasn't been functioning as "our" red-name. He's always been more of a powers minion. Also, he no longer has a "red" name.

We've not had true representation since we lost Ex Libris and Lighthouse.
