This is just as well. If it was Mr. Bocor, the entry pop up would have had to say "You enter the office in search of your target. As you do so you can't help but notice you've been blasted into a smoldering pile of ashes."

Mr. Bocor is simultaneously one of the most bad [censored] and the most under appreciated characters in the game. When I get around to writing arcs again I have to work him in somehow...

"World Wide Red" is easily one of the best arcs in the game

In your very subjective opinion. I for one hate it. It's the Synapse Taskforce of storyarcs. Way too many missions of the same damn enemy group with a plot that doesn't even try to make sense. At least it gets a sudden and IIRC asspully solve-out in the end, until then it's three plot lines that do not tie together at all.

You know...I have never actually run it...I really should though...

To be honest, I wasn't all that crazy about "Blowback". Although that may be because I'm not too crazy about "political intrigue" stories. I REALLY liked "Chains of Blood" though.

Dang, that sounds bizarre. I do wonder though, how did he make it so the only way to complete mission 5 was to fail it? Sounds like a fun little trick.

So make it the 2nd saturday of each month for the time being and that solves the problem for both July and August.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fair enough. I'll be there both days.

Squid,
I think you should do the monthly schedule using days of the week, not dates. Like Tanker Tuesday is the first Tuesday of every month. If you use dates, the event varies the day of the week. PEople who could make it Wednesdays would attend the July 1st event. But the 1st of August falls on a Saturday and may not have the same people attending.

[/ QUOTE ]

First Saturday of every month then? I think that would work. I just thought it would be easier for people to remember "first of the month".

...BTW, sorry for all this constant updating I am making you do the the BMT MOTD Cobalt...

As a relative newcomer to the hamidon raiding scenario, I guess I didn't know the history behind hamidon raids prior. I honestly had no idea that blueside raids were a once monthly thing, and only became weekly due to practice and willingness to do them weekly.

I also realize that organization is NOT my strong suit. It never has been. In real life I am hopelessly forgetful. In high school my grades would often be a full letter grade lower then they should have been just because I DID assignments, I just forgot to turn them in.

So that being said, rushing into a weekly schedule was probably not a good move. Instead, I think starting out with a monthly schedule would be better. Seeing as how the most recent raid was June first I think the first of every month would be a good starting date. (I wont be able to do a raid on august 1st though due to being out of state.)

Now when it comes to team leaders, I think we already have a good starting point. Fanged Knight has already expressed interest in taunt team lead and has been a successful taunt team leader. Meowtch and Geniara have both pledged MM team lead capability, and I am more then capable of assault team and targetting lead. What we do not have are yellow spike leads, and a second assault team lead.

So. I am going to pencil in the next redside hami raid for a tentative date of July 1st. During that time, I will try and see if I can't build up a good assault team. If you are interested in leading a team, please contact me and try to recruit your own team.

We can do this people! We just need to give this community time to bake.

As most of you probably know, I have been trying to get a dedicated redside hamidon raiding community going for a while now. However, most raids I try to form get quashed due to lack of interest. At most I usually get 20 or so people that show up.

So what would be the best way to schedule these things? The one that Kat helped me organize seemed to work since there was a great deal of time between the initial announcement and the actual raid. That would work, but it's not the weekly event I am hoping for.

Maybe the problem is the day. Saturdays are generally not the highest population night. That would go to Sundays, which wouldn't be a problem if there wasn't a blueside hamidon raid that night as well. A real pipe dream of mine would be to alternate off redside and blueside raids every week, but I doubt that the hardcore blueside raiders would go for that.

So, what do you think the best course of action would be?

You know? I think Mod 8 is the living embodiment of the quote; "Speak softly, and carry a big stick."

Here's a BIG plot hole that has been around for years.

The Minions of Igneous. Where do they come from? As far as I know they are the only villain group in the game that never even gets an IMPLIED origin story. I guess the best theory is that they are the guardians of the Cavern of Transcendence, but the evidence for even that is only that when you run the Cavern of Transcendence trial, the Igneous are in there.

Also, the "Minions" of igneous thing puzzles me. This implies that they are subservient to someone or something called "Igneous". Who or what is this Igneous fellow? Will we ever get to meet him? Or did the name just sound cool?

Thanks for the review PW! I do realize the plot is a little all over the place in part one, but in all honesty even I had no idea how it was going to end while I was writing it. It tightens up in part two though. Still, I'll take a look back and see if I can't streamline it some more.

Also, those screenshots? Wicked cool.

Thanks for the spontaneous review! Spelling has never been one of my strong points though so thanks for spell checking.

I also like that anagram, "MSTF"

Scuse me? PW? I have told you a few times that I played through Teen Phalanx Forever before I submitted my arc for review, and have submitted feedback on it twice. Just making sure you know I did, since you still have me down for only two of my 3 arcs in your cue.

Just checking.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ultimately the reason is because I am good about tracking whether people have run my arcs but not good at tracking how many of them they've run ... I do see you've run all 3 of mine, so I'll update accordingly.

Cool! Thanks!

No. THE coolest bug was in i14 BETA when Arcanville found one that when you killed two Malta Titians in the MA you would merge into the the Zeus Titian!

Or something like that.

YES IT IZ

I think what he means is that if you had a Hercules class titan as an ally, and its health got low, it would merge with YOU and KILL YOU, forming a Zeus class titan.

Playing around with rebalancing the powersets of the titular "Lost Choir" group. I really like their costume designs, but their powers always kind of bugged me. I'm going to be playing around with various combinations, but I might end up going right back to the way it was.

Edit: Keeping them mostly the same, but upping a few powersets in difficulty. They always struck me as being too easy.
