  1. Vanum

    The Name Game

    Just 'cause one of 'em posted above me and I'm feeling playful.

    Put a rubix cube in their cage and name 'em Ryxx and Ele.
  2. Vanum

    The Name Game

    Nobody's mentioned these names yet? I'm surprised.

    Mistress and Madame

    Nope, I read it too. In fact my bookmarks go Boards (user cp location so I can see the forums I'm most interested in) then Dev and then Community digest (the latter I don't read as often).
  4. Meh, why not. I'll come with a scrapper.

    I vote for Studio 55, though newcomers might have a problem getting in.

    Technically all three team leads need to be members of the same SG/VG since all three teams need access to the base. (If your team leader isn't a member of the SG/VG then, at the very least, he/she won't be able to enter the base and thus participate in the raid.) Also, on that note, be sure the team leaders enter the mission before the rest of their teams do because that seems to occasionally lead to a multiple instance map.

    Agreed, but I found it difficult a couple times where it seemed like I got multiple ambushes at a time.

    P.S. Ghoul ambushes that pile up while you run back from the hospital are a pain!

    If you get a list of the contacts you can just go talk to them to start their arcs, don't need the introduction. Zombie Man made a post about I18 that has their locations. Here's the link. FYI, be sure you're all trained up to 8, not just dinged 8.

    Good catch. I guess I wasn't paying as much attention to my post as I thought. I blame trying to get it posted just before Isos started that night.
  11. The real question here is how will, or will, Praetoria be worked into the rotation. Say we go with Praetoria->Hero this time, what's next?

    There are 4 options now. Hero, Villain, Praetoria->Hero, Preatoria->Villain. Or we could even just cut it down to two by cutting out Praetoria or cutting out the Hero/Villain 1-20 content but I don't think we should do that.

    If we go with the 4 option option to keep the hero/villain alternation on the 20+ content as I have it listed above is about the only real option even though it duplicates the 1-20 Praetoria run (2 in, 2 out) otherwise we're duplicating the end game content. Personally I'd rather duplicate the 1-20 in this instance since it's only 3 sessions or so out of the whole run.

    I guess all that puts my vote to Praetoria->Hero, I was just wordy about it.
  12. Noooooooo........

    I won't make the first one, second one is a possibility but I can't commit to it.
  13. A long time ago in a galaxy far far away (ok, back just before I3 and about an hours drive from where I am now) I was bored beyond belief and looked into some of those constructed language things that are out there. Being note QUITE up to coming up with my own I did a simple letter for letter (well, and 2 and 3 letter for 2 and 3 letter) cipher that works fairly well as a constructed language translator.

    Given that history the first toon I made that stuck was a Dark/Dark Defender (no villains back then kids, no globals for that matter either). Basically I took some shadow type words and punched it into my little translator and got Vanummli which is what Penumbra translated into. Well, it was longer than I was looking for so I was gonna go for the name Vanu at first (taken) so I went with Vanum instead. And it's stuck. Only once considered changing my global but never got beyond the thought.

    P.S. This is also why those who play with me often have trouble typing/pronouncing my toons' names. Only like 2 of the 20+ are actual english words.

    P.P.S. Since I'm bored now, the names of the people who posted above me, translated.

    1. Vivace - Wemeke
    2. Ryxx - Lyxz
    3. Evil Legacy - Ibin Naqeky
    4. Penny PA - Vanrh VI
    5. Voodoo Company - Woukuo Dowminh
    6. Peterbilt - Vafinmarc
    7. Puce Nonagon - Vugi Ronecor
    8. Shrike fire - Whrafe geri
  14. DOH! Can't make it this Saturday.
  15. Sorry I missed it. I tried to hop on at 9pm and got as far as selecting a character to log in before my ISP crapped out rather spectacularly. By that I mean I logged in at 8:59, my ISP crashed, I called but as it was then 9pm their customer support was closed for the night (GRRRR). The spectacular part is that apparently the problem took down most of the STATE (just their customers of course).

    Well, anyway, it just came back up and I hopped on to say sorry for missing it.
  16. I'm available for this (unless I forget). Say an AT (other than dominator) and I'll bring it.
  17. I'd like to run this. I can bring my Iso if you'd prefer but I have another team night toon that's behind (rad/rad corr so, helpful).

    EDIT: On the other hand my connection's been up and down so more times than... well let's leave that to your imagination. In other words, don't plan on me, my connection isn't stable enough tonight for me to feel right committing to a SF.
  18. I take a few days off and look what happens. Well at least it's good this time.

    Congratulations you two!

    I'll see if I can't get my thermal's second build speced for recharge and double rez (and recall friend of course) by then.
  20. It's a conspiracy Masque. Last night would've been the first one I'd been able to make.

    If you use the default directory, I think it should be outside quotes, like this:

    "C:\Programs\CoH\CityOfHeroes.exe" -project coh
    And if Sarrate somehow wasn't clear enough (shh, it happens sometimes) you could follow my illustrated tutorial that I wrote somewhere around Issue 6 or 7, still works though.
