    Sorry, my mind immediately went to Caddyshack for some reason when I read that.

    I will get to one of these things someday.

    I fear for all those who were exposed to this Rangle Plot at the Pummit. Seek help immediately. Resist all urges to join Rangle at the "Rangle Ranch". If you somehow cannot stop yourself from going there, if you cannot resist the forces that controlled you at the Pummit, can I haz your stuff? Cuz no one comes back from the ranch.

    I fear for Warboss..he may have been over exposed to Rangle at the Pummit.




    Oh, and this redhead Texas Justice speaks of...pics or it didn't happen.
  3. I did start a Tank HQ on Infinity a while back. I will get going on the base shortly.

    What do I mean by that?
    • We do not want to release Powersets on top of each other. There needs to be separation between the releases of new toys so that people who are excited by them all, which is much of our Community, have time to play with each.
    • Balderdash..game will be around forever. I have eternity to play sets so gimme.

    • Poppycock! What kinda hooch dealers are you people? Put away the shot glass and gimme the bottle. My money not good around here?!

    • Oh fer Pete's sake. Schedule a trip to doctor Phil so you can all work on your feelings about how people "perceive" you. All these people worried about feelings and "oh, people might not like us". Bleh...whole country is going into the crapper I tell ya and I need a shiny trident to keep the scavengers away.

    Old man rant over...
  5. So Champion TT gets to roll thru a newly creepified DA?!?! That could be quite fun.

    and Defiant lands on double XP weekend?! That could be quite productive.

    Triumph to end the month...get to knock the dust off a toon on my home for server for the first 4 years I played the game? Looks like March is shaping up as a good month for Tanking.
  6. Top five for me:

    Mirror Spirit
    Ghost Widow
    Nadia (little disappointed no one else seems to notice her)
    Lady Grey
    Hequat...not sure what I like...but I like
  7. I have to work today but with only two crews going it will be extremely slow on my end so I should be able to get on for a bit.

    I will have to take a break, probably about an hour in, to go make sure nothing happens when they set off the explosives...
  8. Well, a while back I got Gibraltar (Stone/SS) to 50 on Champion and that was almost exclusively through TT event (90% would be my guess). He was also my first lvl 50 tank anywhere.

    Major Freezerburn (Fire/Ice) hit 50 on Justice last month.

    No idea who is next...
  9. Whatever form it takes I am quite certain a Rangle Plot will be involved...
  10. Hmmm...It's quiet. Too quiet. Rangle is up to something.

Rangle may also have encouraged Infernia to become a psychic. However, sources say Rangle is definitely not responsible for teaching Doc Delilah how to tank - even Rangle couldn't be so nefarious as to visit that on the world. More on this as it develops...
    Following up on this lead, it appears this Rangle Plot is quite insidious. Records show Fusionette, Infernia, Lady Jayne, Glacia, Amy Jonsson and Flambeaux all attended a series of seminars at a place called the "Rangle Ranch". This is obviously a plot by Rangle to create his own little Manson family style group of heroines.

    On a creepier note, evidence uncovered from the Rangle Ranch shows a series of special weekend events with only two attendees, Desdemona and Silver Mantis. Further investigation will be needed to discover what Rangle is plotting during these weekend retreats...now where's my video camera.
  12. In what can only be described as a horrific discovery...during last nights TT it was revealed that Rangle is to blame for...Twilight.

    At this time it is unknown what purpose sparkly, angst riddled vampires might serve in Rangles devious plots. Investigations will continue.

    Don't be fooled!!! This is simply 4:44 of distraction watching nonsense while he is plotting who knows what...

More on this as it develops....
    mmmmmm...turducken...wait...Blasted Rangle!!! The turducken is a Rangle plot to distract from other Rangle plots, just like lost keys and rainbows! Must stay focused...

    Pretty obvious to me that you would be plotting a way to get something you want.
  16. The weekly tour of tanker fun returns to Triumph tonight (Oct. 25th)!

    As usual, meet at the IP gate in Kings Row. Things usually get rolling about 8pm Central time. Any Tanks, any level are always welcome
  17. People of Justice. I come to you this day on a matter of the utmost importance.

    Rangle Plots!

    There are very few of us who have not heard rumor of, seen with our own eyes or fallen victim to a Rangle Plot. Some of you may not even realize it has happened to you. So, for the safety and well being of the people of Justice, I feel we must start tracking Rangle's nafarious plots. This list is unofficial because I fear it will never be complete. Will we ever really know the full extent of Rangle's Plotting?

    We have waited too long, many of his plots have gone unnoticed, but for the last week I have been watching. The following are the plots I have uncovered during that time:

    Bad Canadian 80's Music
    MARTy
    Mr. Picklesnaps
    Ice Melee
    Warm Beer
    Super Stunners
    Rainbows (a Rangle Plot to distract people from other Rangle Plots)
    Market Fluctuations (both real and in game)


    Please, be on the look out. Come here and warn the people of Justice when you uncover a Rangle Plot. It is our only hope.

    Well, if you want in on the local world series of poker stop, you have to go to St. Martial unless I missed the legal gambling joint in Paragon. It would appear most of the greedy corporate home offices (Crey, Aeon) are located in the Isles so there might be some decent accounting jobs.

    and...ya know...maybe the wife got the rest of the planet in the divorce!
  19. My first thought on this was "How the hell did they get Hugh Jackman to do a rockem-sockem robot movie" but the more I read everywhere the more I want to see it.


    Although I might see drive first. It screams Transporter with angst but I am tempted.
  20. October Brutal Thursday managed to produce a nice 7 person ITF run. Steamrolled everything till Romy in the last mish but we did ok for having 3 lower level brutes, only took 1:08 and we left hardly a straggler anywhere. Managed to go from 39 to 41 with 5 of us clearing the map and smacking around some Romans on the wall after the TF.

    Thanks to Rangle and everyone who I cannot remember after a Friday of work and a couple of sorely needed cocktails.
  21. Sounds like I missed a good one. I really need "Freedom" to launch so I can have a free transfer and some new sets to play. I just couldnt come up with something to make for this week.

    Oh well. Cya all on Champion next week!
  22. What?! No mention of Thundar's Sun Sword??

    Or you just don't go to bed...I am sure there is something you two could do to pass the time on a Saturday night.
  24. Really want to give Kudos to everyone who came out. Everyone stuck it out after a less than stellar start (obviously Rangles fault) and followed through without much in the way of whining. Looking forward to the next one.
  25. I haven't been hanging on Tri as much as I used to but all of these times work pretty well for me and it would be nice to play some of my old favorites a little more.
