Someday I will play this game again. I'm just not sure what happened. One day I basically just lost all interest in playing. Not quite sure what heppened. I still have my subscription, just no desire to play. :sad:
I'm with you on the "faster" bit, ever since respec for me, basically.Quote:

The reason he's not levelling as quickly as some Nova-wielding blasters out there is just lack of time these days. :p
SNAP OUT OF IT! You're a super-hero, darn it!! :pQuote:

You have GOT to see the new costumes and auras, and Aumakua's fire imps, and meet Ajani and his wife, and... JUST GET YOUR FLABBY BUTT BACK IN PARAGON CITY RIGHT NOW!
There can never be too many blasters. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif

I hold you personally responsible for getting her hooked on those bubbles. :mad:Quote:

I know next to nothing of this guy, apart from that he has played with Cass and maybe even inept a few times.
"Enough" for what? :p
As long as we don't make the "non-WD n00bs" all into Sargeants with the rights to promote/demote and invite, I will go with the recommendations of the majority.

I meant, his costume was enough to make everyone like it. It's funny without being teh ghey.
I agree and I told he he'd have to meet everyone and everyone would have to say if he's ok to join.
BTW - I invited Ajani's wife and she accepted.
Serilda and 4points have been added as privates in the SG.
TS accounts have been asked.
Serilda is Ajani's wife, and 4points is a buddy of his. Some may recall we played with him before, the Synapse or Positron TF I think. He's an energy blaster. Aurell, another friend of Ajani and 4points, is still considering but gave me some nice comments about our teamplay and general behaviour. She's a gravity controller.
Great Gazoo (sp?) has been recommended by 3 people so far, and he's in the IT field, so it's just a question of time to invite him into the SG also whenever anyone meets up with him. My wife was saying that he wanted to take a look at the WD forums too.
Does anyone else have personal recommendations for new recruits for Phantoms of War? It could even be some lower level toons of your own, really. I know I want Fracas in PoW as soon as he's higher up in level. ;)
I think increasing the ranks is a good thing, and - as discussed with ILTU last night - will enable players from various time zones or availability to have a better chance to team up with familiar players.
So aside from the WD membership, I suggest we keep the "sargeant" status for the more familiar and/or trusted people for now. That should be best to handle the influx of new players if we keep recruiting like this.
BTW, if any of you see Cassiopea on, please promote her to sargeant also.

PARAGON CITY, Rhode Island, November 24 – The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) Local 1998-1 is threatening to pull all dockworkers from the piers and warehouses in Independence Port. According to ILA spokesperson, Cynthia Sones, “We have real concerns about the safety of our members. Until this matter is resolved by management, not one ILA member will report for work.”

Photo by David Capa, Staff PhotographerThe management of Independence Port Shipping & Transport (IPST) issued a statement earlier today, stating, “This was an unfortunate accident involving the container ship Northern Light and a mechanical failure of one of its cranes. We are conducting a full investigation into the matter.”
The “matter” in question, however, has an added twist as it also involves the alleged sighting of a “giant sea creature” in Independence Port on Monday, November 22, and the subsequent near fatal incident involving four dockworkers. According to one eyewitness, Captain Jack Brody, “I was heading out toward Wave Landing with a charter and I noticed some kind of disturbance about 150 yards off the port bow near Valor Bridge. Like something big was moving just under the surface, roiling the water. I thought it was a whale at first, but it never came up for air. The disturbance was moving fast toward the freight docks. Then I saw the arms come out of the water. Biggest damn octopus I’ve ever seen. If this city needs someone to go after it, I’m for hire.”
Another eyewitness, Samuel Hall, had been fishing off a nearby pier. “Well, I noticed folks along the seawall yelling and pointing out into the harbor. Something was stirring up the water and moving along the shoreline toward the docks. I figured it was nothing but a pod of
Minke whales—you see them come in every once in a while—so I got out my camera to snap a few shots, but then something long and thick, looked like a giant tentacle to me, exploded out of the water and just slammed the dock. There must have been about five or six guys on the dock, and they just went flying.”
The First District Coast Guard group out of Bristol is heading up an investigation into the incident and preliminary reports, despite alleged photographic evidence, indicate no presence of a large sea creature in the area. Commander Jeffery Simmons, Coast Guard spokesman, told the Times that they are coordinating with the city’s Harbor Police. “With the added resources of the Harbor Police, we’ll be better able to conduct a full investigation and get to the bottom of this incident.” When asked about the reports of a giant multi-armed creature and the photographic evidence that seems to corroborate both the victims’ and eyewitnesses’ statements, the Coast Guard told the Times that the photograph has not been verified and that such speculation has no basis in fact.
The Times contacted the Seaview Oceanographic Research Institute for further information. Dr. Matthew Cooper, a noted authority on cephalopods, which include octopi and squids, was dismayed by the official statement. “This was no shipping accident. This photo…what you have here appears to be a member of the genus Enteroctopus—a giant octopus. They’ve been known to grow up to thirty or forty feet, but this one is…it’s some kind of super anomaly and it’s way off its usual south Atlantic feeding grounds.” When asked why it was here in Independence Port, Dr. Cooper could only speculate, “Something drove it here. Competition. Disruption of its normal environment. If this is truly a massive Enteroctopus, then we have a problem. It’s extremely intelligent and highly carnivorous. It has to eat at least 2 percent of its body weight every day.”
In the meantime, with investigations and questions continuing and the FBSA asked to keep a watchful eye on the city’s waterways, the ILA Local 1998-1’s looming strike could put Paragon City’s already shaky financial health into further jeopardy. Mayor Morales has asked heroes to increase patrols in Independence Port until the situation is resolved. “The safety of our dockworkers is paramount not only to Paragon City’s economy,” he said, “but to our community as well.”
The Paragon Times will continue to investigate this situation.

Anyway, I also think we should bring other toons in once they hit higher levels. And we should begin to power level some of them as well. I for one would love to actually get MD out of debt or I'd love to have a defender (storm/elec) or a different controller (ilus/emp) but don't have the time to level them quickly and hit the grind at lvl 10 or so. I've got a really cool looking dark/dark scrapper I really like I'd like to PL to get her to lvl 20 quickly.
Maybe we could have times we designate for power leveling when limited people will be on. We could bring the low levels along SKed for a ride in bricks with one of our big boys (or gals). Anyway, it's a thought.
