See, I'm not willing to travel. So, if they do a bunch of little events all over, fine. If they do a few big ones in only major cities, posts pics.

[ QUOTE ]
That's a really good point. I suspect that (despite the travel exhaustion involved) going places -- such as Oregon -- where people are really happy to meet you and are grateful for what you do might be good for morale. Especially after dealing with the faceless onslaught of forum snarkiness, a brief exchange with a smiling face -- in, oh, Tampa -- might serve to recharge the will.

[/ QUOTE ]


Fixed that.




[ QUOTE ]
EDIT: Appropos of nothing -- I wanted to note that we have an incredibly high number of microbreweries in Oregon. And... well, strip clubs. Just... tossing that out there.


[/ QUOTE ]

So does Tampa, heck, Joe Redner, the owner of a lot of strip clubs ran for city council.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]

All in all it was a great event and look forward to a second annual gathering in the future.

[/ QUOTE ]

Who said anything about these things being merely annual?

[/ QUOTE ]


Well, since the 'rockstar' thing was mentioned... why don't you guys just load up in a tour bus and hit all the big cities?

ROAD TRIP!

...dammit, Anti! OK, try this. "Therefore, I must conclude that the reason you do not have an NPC signature hero named CuppaJo is because there is no gigantic female body option."

Better?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, we are still working on getting Cuppa as the City Rep. Along with getting a "Save Jackson Turner" mission.

And you can make a Huge Female Body, Put the height, legs, shoulder, and pretty much every other slider all the way up. Presto, huge Female.

[/ QUOTE ]

Crikey people, I am 5'4" and about a buck 25 standing in the rain. I don't need the huge option. Just move the body slider to athletic.

Miri says he thinks I am an NPC in Steel Canyon. Supposedly there is female NPC sitting outside a coffee shop with a laptop that says random "cuppa-esque" things. Maybe that's me? I am still waiting on coordinates to check it out.

Suggestion for Cuppa's in-game signature hero

[ QUOTE ]
And yes, I have been secretly working out since I got this gig so that someday at a meet-and-greet you guys would post my pic on the boards and Lady_Athyna would fear me.

Glee!

Clearly the solution is to have it in Secaucus.

-5 bazillion hotels so everyone and their mom can stay closeby.
-hotels = conference rooms for cons.
-located within walking distance of me.
-close to NY.
-in NJ.
-less of a hellhole than NYC (not like thats saying much).
-doesn't smell too bad.
-near 3 airports.
-Secaucus + CoX jokes write themselves.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmm... How about New Brunswick?

Currently listening to Steppenwolf's 16 Greatest Hits

[/ QUOTE ]

Too close to Quebec.

I vote Niagara Falls.

Scenic (Apparently)
Lots of Hotels/Convention centers
Close to a bunch of ariports (Buffalo, Toronto, and one at the Falls)
2 Casinos
Allows both Canadian and American gamers access

[/ QUOTE ]

No. All of those are too far away from Tampa.

Floating brains are an [censored]-kicking force to be reckoned with!

[/ QUOTE ]

Not after a few minutes in a microwave.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
A floating brain just.... floats.

[/ QUOTE ]

Remember, someone kicking your [censored] is still subject to the laws of physics. A floating brain is not.

[/ QUOTE ]

So it can bob once in awhile too.

Maybe that was her evil plan all along, you know, have people meet her in person so she could project her menace more personally and have it reported back to the forum.
"I am CuppaJo! Fear me!"

[/ QUOTE ]

She succeeded.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, now that I've met her, I no longer have to fear that she really is some disembodied brain, floating in a a huge mug of dark coffee, cyberlinked up to a mainframe.

CuppaJo's just zees gal, ya know?

[/ QUOTE ]


Sorry Bill, but Cuppa looks like she could kick my <bleep> six ways to Wednesday. A floating brain just.... floats.

[ QUOTE ]
Very, very cool. Wish I could've been there. And Cuppa looks badass (in a good way).

[/ QUOTE ]


Yes she does. Some of her pm's now scare the <bleep> out of me. She used to only scare the heck out of me, her threat level is upgraded.

Eh.. personally I'd only peg a few locations for this sort of thing.

Any backwater hole the company resides in (apparantly this one is in texas)
Boston
Chicago
LA


Any other locations... well, they're close enough to texas, boston, chicago or california.

Zeus - god of locations, locations and locations.

[/ QUOTE ]
So Tampa it is! Yay!

[/ QUOTE ]


To throw in a plug for Tampa, both Busch Gardens and Lowry have convention rooms that hold a couple thousand people as well as staff and kitchens for food and drink. I got married at Lowry. The place has got an awesome menu.

Don't take this personally Plasma, but I hate you right now.

I suppose I'm in a weird mood today. The three name thing always threw me though. I suppose there are a few people who do genuinely want to be called by three names, but I'd wager they were few and far between.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've known a couple people who like to have their entire name used. And a few that wanted to completely ignore either their first or middle name. People can be odd.

[/ QUOTE ]

People often call me Coop or Cooper...I just want to be called Ryan, damn it.

On a related note, where are Luminary and Aurora Borealis? Aren't they Vindicators, too? Were they just sick that day? Despite that not making sense for Luminary, since she's an android?

[/ QUOTE ]


I don't know about Luminary, but my villain beat the <bleep> out of Aurora last week.

Hi folks - on the Malaise issue:

The comic’s timeline puts that story well after the in-game events of the Calvin Scott Task Force. Malaise is certainly not a pure villain – let’s say he’s a complicated individual. After those events, Ms. Liberty found him and offered him a place in the Vindicators, for they are all about second chances. Yes, Malaise has done questionable things, but the Vindicators believe he can be one of the good guys.

cheers,
Arctic Sun

[/ QUOTE ]

I say we set him on fire.

[/ QUOTE ]


Isn't that what you say about everybody?

I recall a rumor that Manti would switch sides in the comic to coincide with the fall from grace/redeemed villain content becoming available.

It was just a rumor, and I think it was a player that said it, not a redname.

</wild speculation off>

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
When you're the captain of a team, you've got the authority to punish team members for violations.

If Manticore accepts the punishment, it's because the alternative is to quit the team. When you're a member of THE elite superhero team of the world, are you going to quit just because your leader got mad and sidelined you for awhile?

Of course, now it looks like Manticore may be doing that very thing... Until next month, anyway...

[/ QUOTE ]
That's what I said. Statesman has every right to kick Manticore off the team. But he doesn't have any political standing, and he can't revoke Manticore's hero license.

[/ QUOTE ]

Maybe not, but with the way Statesman views the Freedom Phalanx he can bar him from using his powers while a member of the Phalanx. Basicaly telling him to accept the punishment or quit the SG.

[ QUOTE ]
Don't worry I'm still around.
Thanks for the holiday wishes.

Whoa. Wait. The stalker thing works?!?

<bleep>!

I remember that now...

Oh <bleep>, I didn't get anything for Weaver_One or _Castle_...

I'm a bad fangrrl.

So... how long has the stalking thing been working for ya, hun?

Is it wrong of me to hope W_W can log onto that NPC and really mess with a few people?

Now I'm starting to wonder if DJZero will be the cross-over contact...

[/ QUOTE ]

It's possible. Maybe changing your side will require grouping with the opposite team.

Thinking about this some, I have to wonder how much of this event is a way for them to test how cross-over is going to work. Allowing us to team up in a very limited fashion, must be a good way for them to datamine to see if any glaring problems come up before they implement it. If that is the case, I'd imagine we'll get some more missions there even after the event ends. (At least, I hope.)

[/ QUOTE ]

Aye, this is a great practice run at cross-over and mixing up the team dynamic. And the possibility of more Pocket D missions is very interesting.

Story-wise, DJZero stated he's ok with both heroes and villains, so he'd fit in that role. My next question would be, if (Big if) DJZero is the cross-over contact, will the cross-over trial be available at 3 level ranges like repsec. Pocket D links to three hero zones and three villain zones. Did anybody notice if those zones are the same level range?

<wild speculation off>

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Are we really going to care about the lack of trainers in Pocket D a month from now when this event is over?

[/ QUOTE ]
Maybe not...but on the other hand, it's interesting that Positron said they would see about putting buy-back contacts in there, and the stated reason against Trainers was technical rather than "but why will you need it after the event." Sorta makes ya go "Hmmm..."
