  1. You RULE so hard. You're like a Dungeons and Dragons translation of the Joker.
  2. O.O;;;

    You are danged good.

    (Visualize this moment. It is, on a dramatic level, our favorite. Names are in tact. I am the GM at all times)

    Me: You pull the lever and the stone door begins to raise. You hear a rumbling sound as dust falls to the floor and the following room becomes –

    Mike: I dive forward, sword drawn, sliding beneath the door and catching anyone in their off their guard!

    Me: … visible.

    -beat-

    Andy: I calmly walk into the empty room


    -------------------------------------

    (Half hour later)

    Me: You see a long, tight, thin wire from one side of the wall to the other. *mutters: I hate good perception checks*

    Mike: I flick it.

    Me: You… flick it?

    Mike: Yeah.

    Me: Okay, you flick it, and the pressure is enough to bring down a scythe from the walls, so quick you couldn’t possibly dodge it. Roll for damage.

    Mike: WHAT!?

    Me: (losing it) You FLICKED an obvious trap!

    Mike: No, no no. I meant that I took my rapier and sliced it quickly down the middle to disarm it!

    -beat-

    Mike: Flick! *imitates flicking his wrist while holding a rapier*

    Me: *glare* Okay, the trap’s disabled.

    To not post the unedited version of this pic for my use is a sin against the City of Church.

    Here's mine:

    My CoH Login Splash is affectionately titled "Lord Nemesis is Keylogging Your Game", starring Hero Automaton and some random Nemesis Colonel.

    My CoV Login Splash is untitled, but really cool (although imageshack keeps resizing it, for some reason o.O). Starring The Ominous Skull Sama, who definitely looks the part here.

    Heya, would you be able to post the pics instead of the screenshot? I’d love to use some of those for my own logins.
  7. I want…

    No… crave…

    No… desire…

    No… cannot be in a world without:

    Fan Art as my new login screen. Anyone? Please? Donate to the Let Marcian Tobay live fund?

    ZOMG! What a bunch of FOOLS! To be so kind and courteous to give us a schedule of the Invasions going forward. How could they be so idiotic?!

    /end sarcasm

    A few random days a month and we get all the [censored] and moaning like it was the end of the world. All you have to do is either avoid the zones where invasions occur (becasue *GASP* they tell you where) or just don't play the days that they are happening.

    This is a masterstroke of customer service and it just goes to show you can give the public sugar frosted goodness on a stick and still you will get hatred in return.


    Cheers to you Devs. Ignore the foolish haters, this is an excellent compromise in the return of this event. Much better than if you'd made it two more weeks solid down the road.

  9. I just finished playing my first real Rikti hunt session (Hi, Kitsune!). I must say, this is surreally awesome! Yes, I now understand the lag complaints, but I loved everything else.

    Thumbs up!

    (Although it is a bit frustrating finding a good batch of Rikti for smackin')
  10. Lighthouse, the opening to this is the single greatest display of subtlly dark humor ever committed by a Red Name.
  11. Ever the outside observer, I’d conclude that it is a rite of passage in the Art section to draw Turbo Ski.
    *scribble scribble*
  12. This has been a random Necroposting.

    It’s too late for Issue 11, but let’s try and get this idea in I12, eh?

    Go back and read the first post!

    Geez, you guys are makin' the wrong assumptions.

    Express = not stopping at every station.

    It's still a long haul, with plenty of scenery along the way. *wink*

    For those not inclined to euphemisms and double meanings: sex.
  14. He he… I refreshed my screen and saw that you had posted in this thread. My gut reaction was “Aint no WAY she could have a problem with this week’s Scoop.”

    Glad it worked out, Rose. Keep telling us when we screw up, though, k? We do love the feedback.

    Thanks for the generous words, Marcian. For my bit, heck, I think there should be (with authors' permissions) a list of all the submissions, so people can read what was sub'd. Or they could post it here, or in another thread for that purpose. Or feature another City Scoop, like you brought up. It'd be a great balm to soothe us losers! (Joke, joke... kinda...) *snif* *drowns sorrows in his brand new p1mp rig he just built XD*

    [/ QUOTE ]

    We’ve been kicking around the idea of having more “fan” writing in the Scoop. I think that those two events can tie in together nicely…
  16. Turgenev, that was you? I loved that entry! Even though it didn't make the final cut, it was quite fantastic!

    How would you all feel about us proceeding to run a sampling of the more notable entries in the coming weeks?
  17. (I can be in on this. What’s the time commitment? Where can I find info on your character?)
  18. Wow! They’ve come such a long way! What a fantastic team! Keep up the great work!

    … but why didn’t you cover Freedom?
  19. Not to toot my own horn…

    Okay, so I am going to toot my own horn. *Toot!*

    The City Scoop is more than willing to spread the word about artists accepting commissions, as well as links to their websites. Be sure to contact Dirtwolf if you want more info.
  20. I just figured I’d see what kind of creative talent there is with the costume creator. Now, I’m no good (I keep trying to convince myself that monotone is the way to go), but I know that there are some fantastic peoples out there!

    So, post screen shots of your best costume designs here!
  21. I’m going to be honest. The only reason I opened this thread was because of the title; I thought this had something to do with Elite Beat Agents.

    (really)
