Hiya Shadow, Tiger and Fedor. What happened to your finger, Fed?

Sure seems quiet today.

To further wake everybody up, I present you with a picture of a really cute chick!

Try not to stare to much, she's shy.

*quietly pads in and turns on the breakfast machinery, making sure to make plenty of extra coffee*

Good morning all, I hope you all had a good weekend levelling and stuff. Time to wakey wakey though. No use moping around and stuff, work awaits and it's back to the regular schedule.

So I didn't play much. A couple of hours on Thursday. Which is as much as I've played in a month. So yeah... Guess I really don't have much interest in CoX anymore.

*picks up Jag by the scruff of his neck and puts him in a corner*

Time out for you. We don't beat up newcomers to the Rookery.

We wait till they're here at least two weeks and we know they won't run.

Sparkle Puppy!

*picks up and cuddles*

Aha! The other half of my act has arrived!

*pushes a pedestal near Tiger and cracks her whip*

Up Simba, Up!

*tries to tame the man eating chickaphent*

This isn't working out as well as I'd hoped...

*comes back with a top hat and a whip*

Okay, I'm a Kitteh Tamer. What am I supposed to tame?

FREAK SHOW? Hmph. I've never been so insulted in my life.

*feeds Fedor's donut to the Bearded Lady*

Okay... this video is halfway between 'This guy is freaking insane' and 'oh my god that's so cool I want one'. A short video of a guy demonstrating his hand/wrist mounted FLAMETHROWERS. I kid you not.

*pounces out of the rafters onto Rook as she tries to grab some food*

Aha! The early Cat gets the Bird!

So hi everyone. I had fun on the group last night. Sorry that I left early, I was just way to tired, drifting off at the keyboard there. And the sound was driving me crazy. I get that sometimes when in a group, the fighting sound start looping for some reason. So I'll hear every blast over and over again, each piling up on top of each other until it's just a loud, irritating noise and I have to mute it. I wish I knew what caused it, but COH is the only thing I've ever had this happen before, that wasn't related to a game in mid-crash.

Well, for the first, it's wrong to harass someone in game about anything. And by harass I don't mean just pointing something out (oh, that's a copyright character), but spending half a mission bugging someone about anything is harassment, especially if you ask them to stop and they continue.

A lot of people seem to forget they're players here, not employees, not policy enforcers, just players like everyone else in game. It is not their responsibility to act on behalf of NCsoft or anyone else. If you see something in game you feel like violates some rule (copyright characters/names, botting, hacking whatever) then you have the ability to report it, which you should do and then move on. It is not a player's responsibility to 'fix' the issue, that's what a GM is paid for. They will see the report, review it and take appropriate action. Whether or not a player agrees with said action is another story and frankly, not important. They don't work for the company, it's not their place to set policy or enforce rules.

For the second, yes copyrighted characters are copyrighted for a reason, and get genericed for a reason. Making a copyrighted character in game unless you are the owner of said character or have written specific permission, and are willing to provide such evidence in response to your eventual and probably frequent genericing, is completely forbidden by the rules. That also includes 'near misses' like The Incredible Bulk or Iron Dude.

Yes, we all like super heroes. We likely wouldn't be here otherwise. We like the idea or being our favorite heroes. And the people who own the rights to the image and name of those heroes really like making their living off them. They have the right and duty to protect those legal interests in court, and will do so. Since NCsoft doesn't want to deal with another legal case (expensive and time consuming), they can and will shut down any character 'to close' to a copyrighted hero. And rightfully so. So making copies of other people's characters is wrong in all ways. If you want to play a favorite character, just pick some of the things you like most about them and work from that, rather than trying to make as close as possible without getting genericed. As often said, if you have to question whether or not a character is to close, then it is. Someone will have a more picky viewpoint than you and will report your 'Azure Lamp' character, even if you thought it was far enough away.

*burp*

Uhhh. I mean, I don't know. I haven't seen puppy all day. Especially between the hours of 1 and 5 pm today. At which time several people can confirm I was in a church, doing my religious duties.

>.>

*hides the shovel*

No, I think that pretty much covers it.

Pardon me....

*gut punches Dumple hard, then nails him on the back of the head with a sledgehammer. Using the body as a soap box, she clears her throat*

To whom it may concern: Kayne West is a freaking attention grabbing idiot. Please do not keep repeating his little jerkwad act, as it only sends more undeserved attention to someone and something that should be rightfully forgotten, and makes you look like a jerkish little tag along idiot. Thank you.

*gets off the soap box and drags it to the back yard to bury*

I recommend seeing Dark Crystal. It's a very good film. It's done by Jim Henson and his people, but it's not really a Muppet movie. It was his attempt at a more serious fantasy film, so the whimsy of the Muppets and similar characters isn't in there.

*gives people hugs, then curls up on the couch to watch the Dark Crystal too*

What? It's a double ex-peas weekend, but making a donut out of ex-peas would just be nasty, so I just made you a double donut instead.

*finds a dark corner to sit and sulk in*

Every time I try to do something nice people suspect me of being mean...

*hands Fedor a binary donut*

It's not made with peas though, because that would just be nasty and wrong...

*wanders in and picks a plate from the fruit tray*

Yummy. Good morning everybody. Double ex-peas? Someone running an Exorcist marathon this weekend?

Man I'm out numbered here....

Oh and funnily enough, when I searched for Dr Tinycat, I found a Virtueverse page devoted to him.

Alright then... You asked for it... I didn't want to pull this out, but I can't let the puppies win a cute off.

ULTIMATE KITTEH CUTE-FU ATTACK!!!!!!!!

Paging Dr Tinycat. Dr Tinycat, please report to the thread.

AHHHHHHH! I told you! I TOLD YOU ALL! Kumquats are evil! They were just waiting for us to let down our guards, and as soon as we did, they pounced!



*gasp* Just... run... I'm done for... Save yourselves....

Pfft, a Pooh Bear dog is cute, sure. But no match for... A Pile of Kittens!



Sure seems quiet today though. Naptime?
