Ahhhh. Now this is more like it. *lounges on the couch tossing popcorn to FANG*

:hollis:

[Tsarmina]

Would all members of the UG please check into ... um... check in at the tunnels? The back room. Thanks.

[Druid]

So.... ummm..... yeah....

We have a page over here to? Hmmmm...... Yeah...... O_o Hmmmm....

Checking this page must be useful... hmmmm..... :eyebrow: Got it.....

[Tsarmina]

I have created The Underground with the spiffy new option D'Arkaine put up on the Crey Industries site.
Click here dammit! (http://www.creyindustries.com/sgroster.php?sg=47)

I just did it quickly so do review it and make suggestions.

Holy crud, I'm a mod here?

hmmmm..., can't think of anything cool to do with this.

-Ink

[inkblaster]

Please add me, I had my check boxes cross checked and then rechecked and unchecked, and now I'm completely unaffiliated, which is cool, but I want to at least be in my group ;)

[Tsarmina]

I know we can't do much about in-game listings but should I bump those not active members down to just associates or leave them as they are? And I couldn't remember the ranks we have. Core, Associate and not even close. Is it right?

And as far as alts are concerned... Just let me know if you want one added or taken off. Remember to list their hero# which will make it easier for me to add/delete them. Thanks.

[Tsarmina]

So, the other day Amoeba Man was comenting on how FANG should have a Crey File......
Clicky Me! (http://www.creyindustries.com/viewhero.php?id=14807)

I found that sketch on a Google search and I also found a pic of a Ratbeast type animal that was rather cool. (see attached pic below)
I'm also entertaining the idea of sketching FANG myself. :)

So the question is, what is your idea of what FANG is/looks like? I know we said he's a ROUS type but I think we can tweek that image.

Dang-blasted-stupid-unable to view Crey from work issue. :mad:

Dang-blasted-stupid-unable to view Crey from work issue. :mad:
That's a bit better than AM's dang-blasted-stupid-unable to Update/change Crey from home issue. :jono:

[Amoeba Man]

Dang that Crey!

[Tsarmina]

Um.. Ink? Before you go on vacay, could you er... fix the passkey codes? They've gone kooky again.


Edit: wow. that was fast. :)

[inkblaster]

Yeah, I noticed that after getting back from eatin'. And vacation has been cancelled, at least the going away part. See my post in the PDP about my new phone.

Now to load the Leeroy Techno Mix onto it.

LEERROOOY
MMJENKINSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Silverclaw]

Did the tunnels cave in on anyone else?

[Tsarmina]

Jeez. Ink's on vacay and the system goes kablewie.
Pfft.

[Half Life]

I updated my Security Level so that i dont look completely ghetto on that list.

Shadowhaze needs to be added to the SG on Crey, and I'll have SF's profile up soon enough.

[inkblaster]

I edited the emblemness, speaking of groupness, should we contemplate messaging the almighty Cuppajo regarding the oldest members debacle?

The 2 top heroes are at 395 and 292 days respectively since logon. We can presume that by the time bases come out Banshee will be up to 365 days, so the rule could probably be made, anyone who hasn't logged in in over a year, bump them down in rank, at the very least!

D'oh! on the emblem. I am a doofus. :look:
Amoeba did send an ingame petition about it. The response was basically, We can't help you right now. So I guess the next step is to PM someone and get some kinda idea of what's going on.

[inkblaster]

An alternate solution is take a page out of the Amoeba's book, split and recombine.

With one of my above 10 alts I went to see if just 'Underground' was available for a supergroup name, and it is.

Do we want to just switch over to be 'Underground', and the "the" is implied?

another thought, if we're to do this, did we want to contemplate group colors and emblem?

[Tsarmina]

Well... hold onto 'Underground' for now. Let's PM Cuppa once the forums are up and see what she has to say before we go running off leaving the inactive members on The Underground to sit in a years worth of dust.

[inkblaster]

Definately, also I'd suggest at least leaving a 'core' alt in the old group if we do transition, and change the MOTD, etc. Post stuff everywhere. I spied a spiky tailed electric guy mulling about the tunnels a short while ago, so there may be a couple out there that will return.

[Tsarmina]

Amoeba Man sent a PM about our plight...
Sent a PM to Cuppajo this morning. Here's what I got back from her:

Unfortunately we don't have the tools for that.

However - I know they are working on improving SG tools - I think for CoV in particular - so I bet your issue will be resolved before then. However, I will make sure they know about these types of issues so that they can get them addressed before CoV.

CJ

The "That" that she speaks of was a suggestion to drop Twi and Banshee from Core to on the brink of core. Guess that won't fly. Looks like we'll have to wait and see.

I'm hoping that Summer may bring back those who have wandered away... then we would have our problem resolved.

[Istasi]

I miss Freud and teh b4gx0rz! Waaaaaah! :p

[inkblaster]

Me too, it'd be good to have a strong showing when CoV hits.

Also on the subject of where the base will exist, I PM'd Gilgamesh regarding the remnants of the redline, here's his response, personally, I like Skyway, there's a bunch of Tram lines that run underground there, and there's also a bunch of nooks and crannies in the zone in general, and it's got Talos and the Yellow line connections.

Hey there!

Well, according to the "history" of the transit system the subway concept was shot down--BUT, that's not to say it wasn't attempted and then abandoned (there's a reason why a subway system was not officially commissioned--but that's a story yet to be told). The "history" that's written in the Times is, of course, the "official" stuff (there's a whole other secret history beyond that). The whole subway issue is pretty much a blank slate at this point and I would encourage you to fill in the that blank with some creativity of your own. Whatever you come up with isn't going to contradict the game's official storyline. I say study the current line system and extrapolate from there. You really can't go wrong. Hope this helps some.

Thanks for writing!

-Gil

[Tsarmina]

Awsome! And I do like Skyway also, plenty of hidey holes and nooks to lurk in.
So.... how much longer before we can test this bad boy out??? *sigh*

[Rottweiler]

SWEET! This looks real promising for the Underground. All sorts of fun to be had in the abandoned tunnels. I agree on Skyway, too. Something about it hints of SEVERAL sudden, urgent abandonning of building projects in that area. Very intriguing and quite our style.

[inkblaster]

Actually there is a line that runs from a south parking garage type deal, to the tram in Skyway, no trains run on it(I've literally parked there AFK and come back still on the track a while later.)

Possible remnant of the redline? So maybe in that south station? It's in the Land of the Lost, somewhat appropriate maybe?

[Tsarmina]

*Sees Ink's siggy* Oh the nostalgia! :sweat:

[Bagman]

What's going on in this abandoned tunnel?!?

[inkblaster]

Ah Bagman! Welcome back, hope you don't mind we were using your Tram as storage. If you could move your desk as far back as possible so we can put some boxes in there, that'd be greeaat.

[Bagman]

What's going on in this abandoned tunnel?!?

...my red stapler...mmm...where's my red stapler?

[Tsarmina]

:lol:
Now you need to get a cool avatart and sig. Sig size can not exceed 120 pixles in height... or 3 lines of text. Smaller sigs=less loading lag for all.
So, get cracking then! :baseball:

[Istasi]

I'd be willing to make you a siggy as a 'welcome home' present, Bags, I just need screens/art and that stuff. I made Hollis a pretty damn awesome one...not that she uses it or anything :(

;)

The powers that be frowned upon my using your siggy. :( It causes slower systems to slow down.... phooey.

[Rottweiler]

done.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v438/bruinmaximus/Logos/bagman.jpg

[Bagman]

Thanks Rottweiller, those are the kinds of sigs I love best.

[Istasi]

Curse you slow internets! CURSE YOU!

Those moddies frownses upon alls my wonderfully massive (in file size) sig creations...Phooey.

[Tsarmina]

*bangs on the acess pannel and scowls darkly* So what be the problem with the blasted thing this time??

*stomps off in search of some skulls to crush*

[Bagman]

Hello 'Fellow Grounders,

Just wanted to say I haven't been around much, mostly because my nine year old nephew is staying with us for the summer and absolutely loves CoH, more so than me, so I let him play on my subscription.

I didn't have any character slots free on Virtue though, so he plays on Justice. His name is Super Lucas :) And yes, he is a blaster.

So if anyone tried to talk to my chat handle Bagman1 but I didn't answer, it was probably just my nephew playing on Justice. He doesn't type very well, so doesn't chat much.

Anyway, school starts for Lucas next month, and I don't think I will be renewing when he leaves for home. I really just renewed because Prof. Ivanov kept bugging me to come back and play with him, but he finally told me he canceled also.

I did just get Guild Wars though, and find it a fun, very different game from your average MMO. It reminds me more of Neverwinter Nights actually, and has a beautiful dark fantasy art style going on.

The main reactor core has been more critical as of late. I think No Show's been overloading it trying to create a temporal vortex type of thing, so he won't have to miss his favorite shows.

I tried to explain they have those tivo devices, but he said he didn't trust them...


Anywho, I banged on the flashy light that said 'overload' and it went out, so hopefully it's fixed...

Dude, my name is Lucas, and school starts for me well, technically over a month from now (September), but, like...OMG!!!1!1!!!11 Lucases for the w1n!!11!1! :p

Anyways, it sucks to hear you won't be renewing, b49x0rz, we miss you! All of our AR folks have left...you, Slippy, Cryo...ah, I remember those days. Full Auto x3 = easy levelling for me...but you're all gone now. *sniff* :cry:

[Tsarmina]

Well, it seems my interest in the forums... and in the game itself has declined some. I've also have had some RL thingys going on that either keep me busy or keep me out of the gaming mood. I'm sure that I5 going live will reel me back in and that elusive beta invite will sure get all my attention once it arrives.
Never fear though. I still do check into the forums here every few days and I peek into the tunnels every day.

OMG!!11 It's AM!! *pounces*

[Istasi]

:(

Ah well, it's not like I've exactly been playing frequently lately, but still...

Anyways, I know how you guys feel. I've gotten CoH burnout many a time. 'Tis a sad, sad thing.

It needs a bit more banging me thinks..... O_o

[Tsarmina]

Well now. With I5 going live, I'll be looking to re-do Screamin' Mimi and I will be needing for someone to hold onto her meager infl stash until she gets back, all new and shiney.
So perhaps this weekend I'll actually see some of you around. ;)

[Tsarmina]

Reposting here for a reminder.
My play schedule
Monday nights=CoV
Thursday nights=CoH
Weekends=whatever I'm in the mood for.

[Druid]

Huzzah wha?

Sorry, I almost couldn't read your post through all these cobwebs.

[Tsarmina]

OMG! There's someone else here! I thought I was talking to myself again. ;)

Hello?
Anyone?
*sigh* Still just you and me FANG.

[inkblaster]

Dang it! Ya stirred up all the dust!

That was a nice thick coating too.
<sigh>

for reference my play times are like thus:
Saturday morning if I get up early enough
Mon-Wed nights generally after 8, and Friday night.

Unless stuff is going on.

[Tsarmina]

So besides Ink, what's-er-face and that other guy.... is anyone else playing?
