wow, really?

So they now ban because it makes more work for them?
These forums moderators are just getting worse.

Seems to me if you make some enemies and they "notify" your posts you'll get banned. Doesn't sound like they'll research it at all.

fantastic

so when does south park make a Cox episode?

lol

anyways I gotta ask, seein as how I only skimmed this thread but what about stone hammers, fire swords, ice swords, an' energy melee.

Are the devs able to change those weapons, or are those "baked" into the sets?

I could understand if they can but choose not to because of the whole theme of the powersets, I just wanna know IF they could.

Those aren't 'technically' weapons. They are part of the powers. Those things would need to have all the particle effects that accompany them stripped down to grayscale and recolored.

Those powers would fall under the rest of power customization, much like Energy Blast, Fire Control, etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

I can understand that for energy melee, but a stone hammer you can pull out and run around with just as much as a broadsword. Which is why I think the devs could, but choose not too.

I can also understand why Lemur would want to uphold the rules that the Scoop has to adhere to in order to provide a fair production for the community

I'm not sure which city scoop yer readin.
The city scoop that I ignore regularly leaves freedom out of just about every section.

But Rose, its ok, see nobody on freedom reads the city scoop anyway. In the future though we gotta rememba don't expect the scoop ta help promote Freedom's events.

We just gotta keep'm ta the server's forums.

Way to take it to the scoop Tundy. Someone's gotta keep'm honest an' by pie if nobody else is, its gonna be the J-Force.

Now that bein said I actually think the Steel 70 article is the first thing the City Scoop has done right.
People are getting too hung up on the fact that it was on test.
The event the article talks about is not the raid on the dropships, its that 70 people got together to kill something.

A community event is exactly what the scoop should be following. And in response to people saying "oh well then we should talk about hammy raids or the pylon raid" No, those are cannon events the devs reward. There is no reward for the dropships. Maybe some measly xp, but you could get more xp faster from monster island.

No this was 70 people getting together to do something that hasn't been done before just to say they did it. That is the kind of community events I expect/want to read about from a community paper.
So I have to say good job City Scoop fer actually being on the ball.

Of course I haven't read it yet, on account that I don't read the City Scoop.

JFS

PS in the same vein I think the scoop should talk about Tanker Tuesdays on champion.

PSS If BtM is aiming to be what they described, they are really, really dropping the ball. It could be so much more.

Memphis Bill, if ya don't know Rose or Nikon then ya don't know Rose or Nikon, but I'm pretty shocked you've gotten ta fiddy on freedom an' not at least heard of them.

You can't go inta the Hive witout hearin about Rose. about 6 months back the flame wars between her an' Aged Ice about how ta run a Hami raid on freedom were LEGENDARY. We got almost as bad as Champion is all the time.

And Nikon, well he runs badge-hunter.com and helped build the ubar SG Top Ten.

Your point is that you don't know them. My/Rose's point is that there are people who do big things for the community that you don't even know about. A community paper should be looking to find these people and make them a part if it.

The Behind the Mask is a brilliant idea.

As Teldon admitted it was great on Pinnicle when he knew the players, knew the community and was able to interview the people he knew were "famous" or worth knowing.

Then he decided to step it up into the grand stage. The behind the mask got bigger then he realized and was ready for.

The City Scoop is suppose to be a "community" paper that brings the "community" together. The community we are talking about are the people who read the forums. The city scoop is not written for some guy who never clicks on any of the links, has no idea there is a forum or even more of a community out there then his supergroup.

If they want to bring the community together then they obviously should be looking to talk about people the community cares about, which is the "famous" people on the forums.

Now the city scoop is a hand picked "famous" people on the forums. But there is a whole lot more people out there then just them who have helped build this community. And as Empress even admitted during the flame war she and I had, you guys need to do a pie load more research into who exactly is your community.

Then again, its obvious you all figured that much out.

An' its more then just freedom, since I posted that "city poop" thread (hmmm I do wonder why exactly it deserved to be locked) I've gotten pms from people on victory and lolprotector letting me know exactly what they have done for the community (quite a bit) and how exactly the city scoop has been going out of its way to ignore them.

not just behind the mask either

pssst Lady A, yer from Freedom, which means yer excluded from anythin I (rose, or any otha freedomite) has ta say in a negative tone.

[ QUOTE ]
I just find it funny that people seem to think we didn't know Lord Stryker's rep before we ran the interview.

Of course we did. That's part of the point. Famous, infamous, or unfamous we're trying to be somewhat representative of most viewpoints, including people with a reputation for causing problems.


[/ QUOTE ]

Proves my whole point right there.

1) If you knew who Stryker was when you interviewed him that means you've been purposefully ignoring all the other "famous" people on the servers. Which is EXACTLY the problem everyone (on freedom) seems to have.

2) I like how Lemur actually said "we" considering a lot of the excuses i've been reading have been "that is not our section"
Each one of them represents the newspaper, just like how each dev represents CoH. So now either Lemur looks foolish in all his other posts, or back tracks this statement making him look foolish then. Or a third option is to ghost edit his post, but I have it quoted, so that one is out.

Hey i'm libra an' a tanker!!!
what does that mean?

Lady A it takes me 4 hours to complete one of my J-Man comics. That is assuming I have all the pictures. Just imagine how long it takes to GET all those pictures. and I do all that for my own amusement, the only reason I put them up on the forums is for lawls.

Not meaning anything by it, just saying is all.

In my humble and totally unbiased opinion they went the completely wrong direction with the comic.

Granted once Manticore started writting it it became fantastic, but before then the best stuff was the Apex/War Witch stuff.

Why? 'cause that showed the game we played. What the comic should have been was story arcs in the game put out in comic form.

The story arcs are fantastic in this game, but are only small blurbs of text. They deserve so much more.

Had they done that, had people who picked up the book gone "OH hey I did that mish, oh snap how do these guys handle it?", had that happened I guarontee you this comic would not be failing.

And as for all the conspiriecy theories about marvel shutting down the CoH comic, personally I feel its the same way as the reason we don't get to see the rikti war novel. Nobody bought it. Nobody bought the comic, so away it goes. Nobody bought the novels, so we don't get a third (I bought all the comics and the novels so I get to be an expert )

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm feeling pretty anxious here in the final moments. Can't wait to see how it all turns out. No matter what happens at the end of the day, I wanted to drop a link to my comic for you guys to check out:

www.theneighborhoodwatch.net

Just updated it with my COH submission and a new website. I've posted a few things on hypercomics, but I don't really care for their viewer. Anyway, have a look and let me know what you think!

WHOA! Doc dude, whoa.
I haven't read your other stuff, just "The Lure" and it blew my socks off. Really, The only critique I got is on the cover it says "Only dirt is cheaper" it looks like the "only" is spelled wit a D.

Even though we now NOTHING about your character we instantly know EVERYTHING about your character. Maybe its because we know the batman story, but the old man, the kid, how the man followed him. Your costume (which you make out to be really important, which is awesome) everything was good.

One bit that really blew me away was your circle of thorns chant. "behold a circle ... made of thorns" I was like OH SNAP THE CIRCLE OF THORNS!!! Which is exactly what you wanted.

You sir know how to tell a 9 page story. If your comic doesn't win this mine better.

I read it, all decent. The hat bit was good (where Santa got upset he failed the mish) and the pumpkin was boss at the end. Nothing was bad, but I would have liked to have seen a much bigger shot of the pic when the pumpkin changed into the Jack guy.

Thre-three hundred?! wow. suddenly I'm not confident at all. Well, I did one and i'd love some feedback, but that max page limit was a real bummer. I had to cut about four pages so the flow got a little rough.

so anyone has a free moment a look at my first attempt would be so appreciated.

Good job Catapult. A few clipping problems but not much. I didn't notice a drop in the flow. Remember most the time the flaws seem bigger to you then the audience
All in all it was good, just not very exciting. Like it was just kinda open/close.
I did enjoy your creative use of emotes. like /cheer next to a fence to look like you're tired, very good .
Also your cliffhanger at the end worked out very well. gratz yo

Hey WeaponofWar I just read your book, good stuff.

I really like the screenshots you took/set up very nice.
And don't listen to the guy about the color scheme I could tell who was talking. Though I guess if you WERE color blind you would get confused.

And surprising your little "did you miss issue 0" was not distracting. I actually thought it was funny. You had enough there that I was able to follow the story and not feel like I missed something.

Though your free poster bit, while funny, was also kinda throwaway you coulda left it out and been just fine.

I didn't even bother with Hypercomics. I attached my comic to the e-mail and mailed it. I'm super afraid the attachment didn't work and my comic never made it

I wanna see'm, all of'm.

Every week, put up like 10 that you have weeded out.

if you install the "Fun pack #1" after you download the link you got the stuff.
mycomputer ---> C drive --> program files ---> planetwide games ---> comic book creator ---> content packs

Then you'll see "basic" and then "fun pack #1" or some such.
Then if you look in the "clipart" folder you'll find some generic superhero clipart. I think THATS what he is talking about.

But nothing CoH exclusive. I'm thinking that ain't made the deal yet.
