A question, as a counter point (Not picking on you or anything. .

Would you like them to get all the legal things fixed for international contest entry if it delayed GR by 4 months? Or prevented $FEATURE_YOU_REALLY_WANT_IN_GR from launching with the rest of GR?

Money to pay a dev to work on these things, or pay a lawyer to iron all these legal wrinkles?

Would Paragon have to deal with one legal entity (EU), or deal with the rules of every EU member nation?

If they got the rights for a contest with US citizens (not RI), Swedish, and Czech citizens, would that make matters better (At least they're trying) or worse (Hey, my EU nation isn't mentioned, no fair)

Maybe contacting corporate will provide answers? They're most likely the ones putting that language in there, not anyone who reads these boards ... http://www.ncsoft.net/global/support/contact.aspx

This was one of the first results when I googled Contest Rules Law:

I think the fear is that each country would have a different specific requirement, like the Canadian one mentioned. Paragon is an American company, so path of least resistance would be that they target Americans.

Nope, don't care. Then again, I solo an emp, so I'd never use these options anyways.

Plus the nerf is causing you to nerdrage, and I so do love to watch people get angry over nothing on the boards.

Please, continue to type words for my amusement.

I totally forgot about this game. But yeah, it was a crazy fun game on the NES.

Wait wait wait, Conkers is childish?

The game that had a giant mountain of poo as a boss, that sang an opera as you throw toilet paper at him to defeat him?

That Conkers?

Well, yeah, new Empath is 10 million points healed, and I wager Frel-Dar got you 7.5 million at least...

So, when our group ran over to the CoH booth later in the evening, we had a chance to say hi (and in my case thank) Posi, who was looking very tired but still very personable.

Then Hero-1 Joe Morrissey chatted with us. Future reference for everyone, if you ever get a chance to talk with Joe at future cons, do so. Joe was wired, asked us about our characters and sg, then nearly burst telling us some of the background of Praetoria that's coming out in i16.

I don't want to steal too much of their thunder, so I'll just say this. Joe said they started writing the history of Praetoria from 1896, which is when Marcus Cole was born. And then from there, decided, "If Tyrant existed, would A have happened in history? Yes, or no? Okay, so that changes this, now what would have happened.

All the way up to modern day. And a lot of that is where some of the new factions (he wouldn't say, and only gave hints) arose, as well as how some of the redeeming/corrupting missions will play out. Some things will be vary, "Do you want me to kill this despot running this area? Because he's a total jerk, but he's also the only thing keeping the civilians alive. Do you want freedom, or do you want to live?" type of decisions.

I'll have my laptop with me today, and I'll try to get as much info as I can from the panel, though I think it's gonna be more about what their experiences with AE has been, rather than i16 tidbits.

Darn tootin' I was right.

One of the best computer party games evar.

Screw your neighbor indeed.

I'll see what I can do...

PAX East Coast is 2010. Start pushing for that. As it is I'll be at PAX '09, so I can act as a DumpleBerry proxy for info, questions, etc...

Only if you agree to let me hump your leg.

Again.

You know that as-to-now unused Special Guest Author Option in the AE?

I was hoping it'd be announced that the Penny Arcade guys had done a special AE mission, but Kurtz is a fine choice as well. An AE mission with fart jokes.

And some of us have never built a character with stamina. Easy on Emp/Rad, Mercs/Traps, MA/Regen scrapper, and Inv/Axe tank. Bit harder on a Night Widow and DB/DA scrapper.
