    Let's say that your character pretends to be nice and wants to place her hand on the pregnant girl's stomach to feel the baby... then suddenly form spines/claws and stab. Or use super strength to rip the unborn fetus out and pull it's head off.

    Not allowing that to happen would be rather godmody, but it'd also be incredibly and utterly stupid for your character to give her that premature abortion "just because you wanted to".

    Completely ignoring a roleplay event as not happening just because you don't like the outcome is a classic sign of being a bad roleplayer and/or a Mary Sue (which requires you be a bad roleplayer). If you really want to make it never happen, you could always go back in time to stop it from happening, or get an empath, or something like that. But playing it off as never happening? That's bad and the person who does it should feel bad.

    The new find a group system in WoW seems pretty awesome:

    * Cross realm (or in our case, cross server)
    * Allows you to choose a role (in their case - healer/tank/dps; in ours - aggro control/damage/support/debuff)
    * Join as a group or solo (possibly allow groups to advertise available spots and have the computer fill with LFG players)
    * Bonuses for teaming (in their case, you get an animated pet; in ours - maybe reward merits?)
    * Looking for raid (in their case, dungeons; in ours - TFs)
    * Smart matching

    I honestly think that many (not all) CoH players overthink things when forming teams and a system that streamlines and make getting to groups faster would be an excellent addition.

    I'd love to see a City of Hero-ized version of this

  3. Here we go. The top two of are Officer Daniel McLean. Part ninja, part cop, part hero, all awesome, he is everything you love about a hero (the asskicking) and everything you love about police officers (upholding the law and protecting the peace) while still being 100% human.

    The botton two are Demetria Tacita, probably a direct opposite of this. She's a devil stuck on Earth, who has grown accustomed to life as a mortal, so much that she has actually tried to emulate human clothing style and attitude. But so far, she's only made an *** of herself.

  4. I've got two characters that could be drawn. Once Virtue is back up I'll take screenshots.

    I know a good healer. They are a pure healer, and have all the cool heals and powers, and they took Medicine too, and they only have one attack, so they don't ever miss a heal.

    Why would you trust anything that people from Freedom say about Virtue? The two are pretty much arch enemies.

    So... what's Virtue's backup server? Or does everyone just go to bed or do something in that weird place they call "real life"?
  8. My main character, Demetria Tacita, is a more light-hearted, comedic style of character. She's basically a troll (as in the purposely acts stupid to cause trouble troll). A devil summoned by the Circle of Thorns who escaped and is now growing accustomed to living life as a mortal being, in the sense that she tries to imitate a human. She just comes off as looking extraordinarily strange however, and can never really pass up a good opportunity to deliberately piss people off. She does swear, a lot, and has on occasion tried to "surprise sex" people for comedic effect. Multiple times. She has never succeeded.

    As for text fighting, it's a very simple thing if you can OOCly agree on who will win before you actually start fighting. If you can't agree OOCly on it, then don't do it, because OOC hatred of people for things they do IC is pretty lame.

    Speaking of OOC and IC, one of my bigger peeves is when people try to retcon things as never happening without the consent of the other person. Let's say a pregnant character is stabbed in the gut for whatever reason through whatever means. Obviously the pregnant character will go all freak-out Mary Sue lolcow drama mode (and eventually later play it off as never happening), or just completely godmode it out. People don't like it when other people disrupt their super special perfect snowflake RP, and if they try to play it off as never happening, then they're not really roleplayers, they're just fanfic writers.

    I tried to argue that point in the D earlier today and someone responded by insta-godmode emoting cutting my character's head off. Touchy people, I don't get why they completely fail to understand perfectly logical reasoning. Then again, I was trying to argue a point in Pocket D.
