Awesome, now I can farm NPCS AND PCs in RV. Looks like i'm going to be spending much more time in my servers farm zones.

[ QUOTE ]
not really but we didn't get a thread about it in this forum so I felt left out.

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree with everything B_Witched says.

[ QUOTE ]
I said so's not to's

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey, if the PvPer has PvP skillz they should beat me regardless what they slot in their enhancements amiryte?

The devs should add mood music and optional romantic lighting
to arena for the growing ERPvP community.

I got the best one:

PvP

Wow, you're so awesome.

Why, thank-you for noticing.

MMs need a nerf bat to the face.

[/ QUOTE ]

um k why?

[/ QUOTE ]

The same reason everything else needs a nerf. Cause she said so.

MMs don't need a nerf. People need to stop thinking in fightclub terms.

P.s. I disagree. I'm a nub PvPer with the best IOs. I'll challenge any lvl 50 with training enhancements to a duel and beat them.

P.s.s. I still think your sig would be just as valid if you removed "Test".

[ QUOTE ]
but take into consideration that these are the exact type of complaints the dev's got which helped them give us what has become PvP today

[/ QUOTE ]
No, PvP is what it is today because someone decided skill should have less of an impact than what build you're using. It's been admitted that PvPers were too good at what they were doing (omg, someone who does something a lot gets good at it!?) so they needed to nerf skill so little Johnny could feel like he could accomplish something without having to put any time or effort into learning the game (but go figure, most of those people don't PvP any more now than they did before I13, and those that do are the loudmouthed baddos that all the decent PvPers farm).

[/ QUOTE ]

For a second there I thought you were insisting that PvP still required skillz. Good thing I got mad reading comprehension skillz.

[ QUOTE ]


Understood. I will generally be working on the freedom server.


[/ QUOTE ]

Freedom? No thanks. My experience on that server has been nothing but [censored] and retards. I'm sure there's a few exceptions but I don't like having to wade through the rest of the idiocy to get to them.

That's a lie. You can't have sex with kittens.

You can't prove an opinion wrong. =)

Sure you can. You just can't prove MY opinion wrong.

I'm tempted to make this my signature. And I don't mean that as a compliment to Tokyo.

[/ QUOTE ]

May I take it as flattery?

[ QUOTE ]
It's selfish? Ha!

You asked us in an earlier post to call you nuts, well, wish granted - you, my friend, are nuts.

I seem to make new friends every day on these threads.

You assume I take any of this seriously.

She is free to host her costume contests however she feels. I'm just offering alternative ideas. She feels her personal bias is better than a pannel of judges, that's fine.

I'm not saying she's wrong. It's selfish. But it's a costume contest by its very nature its selfish.

I still would like to know why judges costumes tend to be less appealing than the people they are judging.

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm sorry that I selfishly spend 3 hours out of every week to give out 40m (sometimes of my own money) to people who I don't know, for no personal profit, on behalf of VGs and individuals who would like to be recognized, for no particular cause other than to see costume contests become more common redside.

[/ QUOTE ]

Apology accepted. Although you really didn't have to.

[ QUOTE ]

Maybe that is your perception of "the point of a contest".

Really, I can't stand it when people get so worked up over these sorts of contests.

People want to give rewards for people based on their opinions... So be it!

If people choose to enter into the contest, so be it!

You win, you lose... Yippee, it's just silly fun!

Why so serious?

Legally, I can't offer you any protection. However, the same intellectually deficient zone PvPers who think killing farmers is fun are generally the same ones who do fight club duels. So you might just be in luck.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fair-enough, how's this; I will keep you abreast of any illegal fight-clubbing I hear or see, as long as you lobby for the support of subsidize my agricultural entrepreneurial work.

[ QUOTE ]
The Fightclub Police is an organization which ensures that fightclub duels in RV do not go uninterupted.

This may sound like all fun and games - but don't be fooled - this is serious. With many of our senior officers no longer playing CoH, we are in need of new officers who are willing to effectively and enthusiastically perform the duties of a Fightclub Police Officer.

These duties include, but are not limited to:
- Conducting undercover investigations to discover the whereabouts of hidden fightclub duels
- Relentlessly interupting any fightclub duels that take place anywhere in RV
- Arresting and aprehending any spectators of fightclub duels

We are not griefers. Our mission is to protect and serve. Fightclub duels are dangerous, and highly illegal.

Please leave an application with a brief history of your law enforcement experience (In and out of coh) in this thread. Don't have any law enforcement experience? No Problem. We will consider you anyway.

Once applications are submited, we will outline the proceedures for conducting arrests to the new cadets.

Good luck to all prospective cadets that apply.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll support your policing of illegal fight-clubing as long as you support my right to farm zones and not get [censored] at if my farm equipment 'accidently' kills someone attempting to impede my agricultural bizness.

[ QUOTE ]
Silit I'm a dissappointed in you. If anyone, I would expect you to recongnize when I grief.

[/ QUOTE ]

Iza Disappointed at you! Meza very, very mad!

Didn't know JarJar PvPed, too. It's all making sense now.

seriously..why does every regen scrapper wanna duel in zone


i beg of you...stop the insanity!.


kthxbai

[/ QUOTE ]Why? Becauuse it's the only real way that they die in a zone, and thats even rare. It takes a serous spike to kill a competent regen and most will just run off before that happens, unless you get lucky and sneak a hold or two in so they can't flee.

I guess it makes them feel alive lol, but in a toe to toe duel a good stalker or a competent brute can down a regen.

[/ QUOTE ]

PowerBoost+Envenom+Weaken+Web Cacoon = Done

Throw in Neurotoxic Breath and Noxious Gas and that's one sad Regener.

[ QUOTE ]
great line from RV -

"look at that all those FOTM DOMS lol...."
"umm you a blaster..."

[/ QUOTE ]

Eh, Blasters are a joke. we all are aware the rules are weighed in their favor. But then PvP is a joke and freedum PvP is even more of a joke.

In conclusion just laugh at people that make Blasters for PvP because they're just jokes. Especially freedum PvPers.

PvP is syrius bisnis

[ QUOTE ]

If I did that, everyone would try to change their outfits to match what I seem to want. People already try to sense patterns and come up with theories on what would let them win. Besides that, I don't really know what I want specifically. I just see stuff and award what catches my eye.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, that's the point of a contest. You set conditions such as the "most original" costume or "Fashionable" so that they are aware of the contest terms. Surprising people with "what you were actually looking for" is a bit sneaky, I can see why people get angry if there are no set conditions.

[ QUOTE ]

I do both of these things. I announce aloud what I liked about each winner. I always also have at least one assistant. Sometimes two other judges helping.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good to read.

[ QUOTE ]

You can't prove an opinion wrong. =)

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure you can. You just can't prove MY opinion wrong.


[ QUOTE ]
Sometimes I award fun, sometimes I award original, and sometimes I award fashionable. I pick what I like. Sometimes that's a joke costume. Sometimes it's something really original and crazy that I haven't seen before. Sometimes it's just something cool.

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you specify before the contest that you are looking for "fun" costumes "original" or "joke" costumes? this is why I don't do costume contests, judges seldom tell you what they are looking for.

Since we can't read the judges mind it isn't so much a contest so much as an ego rub. there is no real condition pool to judge from other than the judges own personal bias.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Is it some sort of prerequisite that the people with the plainest and or unassuming costumes be the judges of a costume contest?

[/ QUOTE ]
Are you saying you don't like my Widow's outfit? =p

[/ QUOTE ]

Wouldn't say I dislike it, I'm rather preferential towards elegant minimilism. However, I doubt the costume would win first place in a costume contest; perhaps runner up.

Call me nuts and a nitpicker because I am certainly both these things, but I've always felt if there's going to be a costume contest the judges should state in a frank and concise manner what they are looking for in the winning costume. Aftwards explain WHY the winner won to avoid some skepticism about the contest being rigged; also and most importantly, have more than one judge so it curbs personal bias.

As for the judges costumes being boring and uninspiring, I'm sticking by that observation because for the most part, I have yet to be proven wrong.

p.s. The crab costume was certainly fun and original, he certainly won most original costume. However most original and most Fashionable are two seperate categories.

[ QUOTE ]

You know just for the record it is very difficult to cut your own hair.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but is it just as difficult to dress yourself?

I've won several costume contests but I can't help but question 'Why,' when i've seen costumes that were much more original and or stylish than my own in the same contest.

Probably why I don't participate in them anymore. They are just too bias to be fair.

I'd personally like to see a pannel of judges in the next costume contest rather than one individual judging based on personal tastes. Especially when that contest is being funded by outside donations.

[ QUOTE ]

That is one of the most bizarre "academic" papers I have ever read. I'm an engineer, so I guess I'm just accustomed to a bit more rigor in papers -- you know, data to support your conclusions, detail of experimental methods, control groups, stuff like that. Judging by this paper, "social science" is a gross abuse of the word "science".


[/ QUOTE ]

Hence why we call the social sciences psuedo-sciences. I am a Computer Science major and I also find his paper lacking in empirical evidence or any manner of "data."

As I've stated before, he's a 30-40 year old male harassing people over the internet.

this wasn't a laudable social-experiment by any stretch and certainly falls in the ethical grey as it was done with parties that never consented to his "Social-experiment" in the first place.

If we are discussing anything it should be the legal ramifications of his actions. Harassment is harassment regardless of the medium and a study undertaken with parties that have not consented to said study is not lawful.

You can play other ATs. But if you're an LoLPvPer you are going to want to choose an AT where the PvP rules are weighted in your favor.

Unfortunately due to the recent changes, PvP is very much weighted in the favor of those classes that dish-out the most damage: Blasters, Stalkers, Scrappers. Thank the Devs for this gem we call PvP and have fun.

I'll continue to farm.
