Quote:I did not miss out on the point of this topic. You can pretty much minmax anything and solo with any MM if you have sufficient skill. Also Nin/TA have the upper hand in challenge. Never said what is the easiest to solo content with. If something is too easy, then it becomes too boring. Everything comes down to skill. I will always be able to find someone that can't solo anything with the best AT in the universe while someone can solo anything with the worst AT in the universe. Now defeating a GM while soloing with the worst AT in the universe is another story.Originally Posted by Raikao
Great job on missing the point of this topic! Here have a cookie. -
Ninja/TA. Get a real sense of accomplishment in soloing content compared to others. Soloing a GM with a Robot/Trap is meh while soloing a GM with Ninja/TA is impressive.

If you're talking about Mormons, yes, Meyer(s?) is a mormon, but there's nothing in the books (that I've heard, from my ex who was a huge Twi-hard) or the movies (this I can attest to, she made me watch all the ones that are out to-date) that tries to lure people to the faith, and she (supposedly) didn't even so much write it as dream it and record the dream for publication.
Now if you're talking about something else, you'll have to explain a bit better, but I haven't heard or seen anything trying to get people to join any sort of group (other than Twilight fans) in what I know of the series. -
This seemed like a more realistic superhero show. Never had a point where I thought the powers were so far out there that it would be impossible. Reading EM waves was close to it, but not like other powers that defy reason like superspeed, firing energy blasts, or immortality.

Apparently Netflix is coming to the 3DS today so might see it on my 3DS if Netflix Canada gets it.

Genin only have shuriken attacks for ranged attacks and I think Jounin's Hide is now a toggle. It is certainly up more often than it used to be.

Quote:There was that comment that Jack made a few years ago that he was called the Face of Bode which implies that he will be one of the oldest beings in the galaxy. Although they could pull a this is a different reality trick and keep Jack mortal.Originally Posted by Lightning_Rod
Enjoyed it. Name-checks that I caught were 456, UNIT, and Owen Harper. Overall, I think it's off to a good start, but I'll be kinda sad if they don't restore Jack's immortality at the end. I kinda like that trait about the character.
I'll definitely keep watching.

Quote:The Original Series and Voyager had instances where they transported off the crew of Klingon ships. So at least 200 people. Might be more instances in the novels, but mass teleportation is too dangerous unless absolutely necessary.Originally Posted by Desi_Nova
Then the JLA must have Teleporters that put anything from Star Trek to shame. I don't recall more than say a dozen or so being Teleported at any one time in trek

Quote:Immortality and regeneration transferred to 6 billion people would explain why immortality works, but not regeneration. How much faster can you regenerate when it is shared between 6 billion people?Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Immortality was transferred, but not the healing. Where did the healing go?

So your saying there's a conspiracy going on to cover up all the accidental deaths caused by costumed vigilantes.

Quote:Exactly. A bad villain has to be created seriously. Parody villains have to work extra hard to be a bad villain. Also applies for parody villains being good villains. Although Hank Scorpio has to be my favorite Bond-style villain and he was in only one episode.Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
Chairface... Chippendale? A villain created to be a send-up of every corny Bond villain (in a tongue in cheek show about about the superhero genre), with a chair for a face and a need to carve his name into the moon as a birthday present?
No, that's not a terrible villain. That's a hilarious villain. -
I am thinking that someone tapped into Jack's life force. As long as Jack is on Earth, then no one can die. Just need Jack to leave either through time travel or an alien ship and everyone can start dying again.

Maybe Superman has a teleport civilians to safety power. Although, more likely there is a highly advanced evacuation system in effect. Civilians don't survive long in a Comic Book Universe unless there is some way to get away from the surroundings as fast as possible.

Just think of it as the Quarterfield of the iTrials. People still do Quarterfield, but not many.

Quote:No matter how good he is at planning, there is always that one variable he can't account for. After all he is a regular person with no special powers so it is possible that some child of a henchmen wants to see daddy work, but the Punisher comes to visit. Or some other plausible story about bystanders being where they shouldn't. Might be possible to kill that many without killing a bystander with a bow or pistol, but when explosions and machine guns are involved, no amount of planning can keep bystanders safe if they are in the area.Originally Posted by Anti_Proton
Read the Punisher War Journal. He takes great care to avoid friendly fire. Although a lot of his ops look like chaos, he puts a lot of planning into them.
-
And how much friendly fire was there? I doubt he could kill that many without hitting a few innocent bystanders.

Reminder that the new Torchwood series airs today in the US on Starz, tomorrow in Canada on Space, and Thursday on BBC One.
Should keep us Doctor Who fans mildly entertained until the new season is out. -
Only one you should have a problem with is Soul Taker since the contact requires the Lorekeeper badge. Can find the story arc names here. Just need to click on the badge for the info.
Also some villain badge missions appear to be in the level range after it should be. A badge obtained from a level 35-40 contact is in Ouroboros as a level 40-45 arc.
Loyalist, Resistance Member, and Moral High Ground are currently not available for Primals. -
The number of movies, books, video games, and TV shows that use the ancient civilization creating interstellar networks is too prevalent for there to be any type of blatant ripping off. Some people will say that Durakken is ripping off Stargate while others will say that he is ripping off Mass Effect. It is not ripping off if a common idea is being used.

Quote:Not all jumpgates use wormholes. The jumpgates in Babylon 5 connect regular space with hyperspace. Wormhole travel is one of those ideas that is too prevalent to be confined to a specific TV show. Now if the jumpgate is a ring that rotates and creates a tunnel sequence that winds around, then you or others have a reason to complain. As long as the technology and style of travel looks different, then there is no problem.Originally Posted by Rylas
Fixed that for you.
You're splitting hairs between the two. They're the same thing. Even the SG series shows gates built for armadas. Either way, you're talking about worm holes. And I'm not bashing your idea, so there's no need to get in a twist over it. I'm simply pointing out that it has strong similarities to a known franchise, and it would behoove you to make sure you develop, and highlight, some strong contrast. Not because your idea is weak, but other people are out there zealously gaurding franchises and looking to squeeze out anyone they can make a decent case against. It's just in your better interest to make sure you don't give them that case.
Seriously, I like your idea. I know I usually point out your flawed arguments and poor reasoning skills in other threads, but I genuinely think your idea has potential (yes, that's a bit of a backhanded compliment). Don't let constructive critisism make you defensive, that's a good way to shoot yourself in the foot. Just look at the majority of self-published books. -
Emma Frost is too disturbing.

Quote:There is very little in common with the book and the TV series. The first season seems to be the only one where they followed the book at all. Lafayette's role has changed quite significantly, Tara has a rather minor role, Tommy doesn't exist, and the Queen of Louisiana had a longer role in the books.Originally Posted by Dante
*Grumbles*
Grrr... I was hoping to be able to discuss one of my favourite shows in here but as I haven't read the books yet, I've already been hit with several spoilers I didn't need to see.
So far, season 4 is slow with nothing really noteable happening other than Bill's rise to power. But then, we're only two episodes in so I'm expecting things to kick up soon enough. -
Quote:Old people don't usually complete everything they want to do before age catches up with them. Imagine a point where you have done everything that you can think of and want to do. What is the point of living when you have accomplished everything you have set out to do? 100 years is not enough to accomplish that, but what about 500 years or 1,000 years.Originally Posted by Rodion
I watched my wife's grandmother in her last years (she lived past 90). People who live a long time don't get "tired of living" or get "bored to death." They are tired of life because it is so painful -- they can't see or hear because their eyesight and hearing are gone, they can't walk because the cartilage in their knees is gone and it's bone grinding on bone. They lose control of their bladder and bowels. They can't remember because plaques in their brains build up and they come down with Alzheimer's. All their friends and family die, they're all alone and see no reason to stay alive.
If the advances in geriatric medicine work as this guy predicts, all those problems will be resolved. People won't be tired of life because they'll feel young, they'll feel great, more friends and family will live as long as they do, and they'll be very rich -- if they invest their money wisely. There will always be something new to do, and after 50 years you'll have forgotten what the things you used to do were like, and you'll find them interesting again.
Few people commit suicide out of boredom. They do it because of physical illness, the depredations of aging, or problems like depression, despair, anguish, fear, shame, loneliness, a sense of loss for loved ones, or mental disease or defect.
Sure, there will be some some number of people who do get bored or fed up and commit suicide. But that number will be very small if the aging population still feels 30 years old.
But mass immortality is unsustainable -- in short order we'll have to do something about overpopulation: everyone who wants to reproduce or live forever will have to do so on another planet or in space colonies. Cause we're running out of room and raw materials rather quickly, especially if we all live 150+ years.
Try living for 100,000 years or even 1,000 years and see if you aren't contemplating to end your life. The people that lead productive lives after 100,000 years are the ones that learn to adjust their thinking for the long term instead of the short term. Thinking about plans that take 1,000 years instead of just 20 years.
