You say , but I support this statement in earnest. In a game about individuality, open up all options for all genders, and let us choose how we define ourselves.

14 Year old impersonates police officer.

Reported by: Bethany Tucker

He had a police uniform, a radio, and a ticket book, and was ready for duty. Only, the so-called Chicago police officer was actually a 14-year-old boy.

Police say a teenager managed to spend five hours on the job with the Chicago Police Department before someone figured out he wasn't really a cop. He was even partnered with another officer and given an assignment.

It turns out the teen was a former Explorer, a part of the community policing program where young kids in the neighborhood interact with police.

"Our preliminary investigation indicates he had an honest desire to be a police officer in that there was no malice or ill-intent," said Deputy Superintendent Dan Dugan with the Chicago Police Department.

Police are trying to figure out how the 14-year-old got hold of an official uniform.

The teen is facing one count of impersonating a police officer.

This just about meets up with the fictional Ralph Hardy, who inspired the only City of X character I currently play.

Yeah, a friend set it back to the default, and all is well. Thanks!

(Sad part is, this isn't for MY computer. I still can't see through water... )

Hey, Ruby!

... Or anyone else, for that matter.

I just installed new ATI Hardware! (go team?)

After installing it, however, I no longer get sound. I've updated my Audio Drivers (ATI Function Driver for High Definition Audio - ATI AA01), and still no luck.

It is as follows: Radeon HD 3650 Over-Clocked Edition

I did a search for 3650 and found nothing. If there is a common "No sound" solution, please let me know, so I can apologize for wasting this thread's time.

Thanks!

Um... have a good day!

Lab Rat? YDKJ?

O.O

*scurries to nearest NewCafe*

Lights, please reconsider this. You are so much to this community. Many of us love in you in the way that a forumite could love a community rep (I'm not sure the capacities, minimums or maximums for such a love, but should there be a capcity, many of us are on full).

Your work here has been fantastic, and I say without exaggeration that you have truly been an inspiration to me at times. There's talk of commemorating you in the game. This absolutely needs to be done.

I hope that you are reading this and the other posts here that demonstrate our appreciation of you.

Thank you for working with the community, instead of against it. Thank you for quite noticeably reviewing your behaviors and adapting your outlook to meet the needs of the community. Thank you for being supportive. Thank you for letting us know that you genuinely care about each and every one of us more than a litmus "ban/no-ban" system. Thank you for helping to construct a community that many people less than half jokingly say trumps the game itself.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.

God Bless,
b

(P.S. The emotion poured into this message has been diluted by the numerous times that I've been asked to resubumit this post. )

So, when will we be seeing your friend in the game, Marcian?

[/ QUOTE ]

I work with him and will be showing him this thread early tomorrow morning. If it doesn't convince him to play, we'll have peace of mind that this game was truly not for him.

Ether, may I suggest Justice? It's a selfish request, but my favorite lowbie villains are on Justice, and I was thinking if this Schrodinger's villain we call my friend takes this game, it would be cool for him to have your Villain Group and my tutelage on the same server.

I was talking with some friends in game yesterday, and I mentioned this concept to them. I had an idea that this would make for a really kick-butt VG, with a cool theme for the characters.

[/ QUOTE ]

You are so posting pictures of that. ^_^

A coworker of mine is addicted to WoW. Frequently do I try to persuade him to join City of Villains (Villains preferably, as he has a very dark side). He has been hesitant to give the game a try, but after he and I talked more, his obsession and love for the movie Hellraiser came into play. The topics intertwined, and he gave me a challenge:

[u]"If it is possible to make a Cenobite in City of Villains, I just might give it a try."[u]

Anyone else hear the gauntlet hit the floor?

Here's what I ask: Please, for the sake of a truly awesome person joining the City, make a City of Villains homage character for the Cenobites of the Hellraiser series, listing powers. You can delete it right after you take pictures, or run crazy with it. I just need some photos proving that it can be done, so that this guy will look the way of City of villains.

I hope this sounds like a fun way to whittle away at time. Thanks! ^-^

~M~

P.S. Yes, I am trying to make one, too. Unfortunately, my sense of costume design is wretched.

P.P.S. Edit: Image is gory and possibly inappropriate for those that dislike such things. Here is a picture of the Cenobites, collectively. His favorites are Butterball (Near the center, with black, circular glasses) and Frank (Though technically not a Cenobite, the skinless fellow on the right in the fancy suit).

Marcian Tobay has landed!

I'm at Comic Con and hope to meet many City of X'ers! While I know we'll all meet at Pocket D, anyone that wants to coordinate meeting up and hanging out, PM meh. This fancy hotel has a computer!

This San Diego place... it's cool.

Everyone better PM me links to the blogs and threads they can't post here anymore. You know, so I can archive them...

(Okay, I'm also curious. )

Okay, I would not normally submit (hence this being my first post ever) , but I figured I'd give this a try for you guys. Here was an ad I came up with for The City Scoop. I would never submit this to the devs without your rubber stamp. If you want to use it, you have permission to do so. It is the 256 x 256 size.

Anyone else mind if I nominate this right up with UniqueDragon for best first post ever?

... for the exact opposite reason, but still!

Fantastically made video. I liked it quite a bit.

Thank ya! Helped me make my decision.

I want to make a Fiery Melee character, but only if the animations are a type of cool that appeals to me. Specific concerns I have are at a later level, so I don't want to get a guy up to Level Leet and then realize he looks like what I personally consider to be silly.

So, is there a video of a Fiery Scrapper throwing down?

Thanks!

The world premiere of Hancock was supposed to have been mid-June but was cancelled/delayed because the final print wasn't ready because of some re-shoots.

Ex Libris advised us to wear goggles...

Goggles?

I think we're near something. Making commercials for Hancock or something?

[ QUOTE ]
His other clue 'Not everything in the Matrix is controlled by us.' makes me think of what they were talking about player making there own missions. That would also fit with multi-media to.

[/ QUOTE ]

She... Ex Libris is a she. Don't worry, you aren't the first to make the mistake, and you won't be the last. Just nipping it in the bud while I can.

Something Wicked this way comes... line from a play...

I'm really sure it's something to do with demo recording, or the way things are scripted. It's gotta be a boost to how ye movie making nerds ( ) make yer movies.

I gave tons of clues even quoting Shakespeare in the effort. It doesn't get better than this teaser until the real deal shows up to blow your mind.

Not everything in the Matrix is controlled by us.

Player created cut scenes are going to be possible in the Mission Creator? Wild Guess.



Goggles... Matrix... Ride... Shakespeare...

People, *clap clap*, she's dropping clues NOW not later!

(I might be the only person the forums who keeps thinking of Wicked, The Musical, when I see the subject line. )

When explaining traditions, Spazz, you forgot the part where this person insists that they are not that person while very obviously being so.

Heh, when I saw that the fourth link was to "Random [censored]", I thought "Yeah... that's going to be 'quarters thread'".

[/ QUOTE ]

You mean the post you wrote where you think I'm TOTALITY? I'm actually offended by that accusation you made.

cry moar

edit: and Marcian, I'd have explained that, except I was 3 quarts drunk at the time and couldn't remember everything. Also, I'm too lazy to do anything about it now.
