Well, I didn't come as my favorite god per say, but I felt like being a Kheld... so I made Ra, whom I know next to nothing about.... Bah, whatever.
I ALMOST made Ra myself. It just so happens that my initials are "R.A.", so to my family, calling me "Ra" is a running joke.
Jade_Dragon
07-22-2005, 03:45 PM
Thoth TNT-------Kurai Inago
I was Thoth, Hermes, and Balder. Kurai was Ra. It was just a coincidence that we both did the "TNT" thing. (I mainly used it because "Hermes" was taken on my first try)
I like the pic of everyone sneaking up behind me. :D With Kurai gone, I was unable to view the Supergroup channel, so I wasn't able to speak except through local/broadcast. So I didn't know who was still around.
You'd expect Thoth to know they were there, though. :D
The Widowed
07-22-2005, 05:43 PM
Corrected the movie credits. :D
So you mean to say that you couldn't join the SG without Kurai around? Surely we have alternate lieutenants and leaders somewhere....

Kurai was the only one of us made Captain. I had a character in the SG, but I would have had to log out, log in as my other character, promote one of you to Captain, log back in as Thoth, and get invited. Not worth the trouble. :D
Next week, however, I plan to sit out the Tussle itself, so I will play co-host and take care of all the invites.

So do we get to vote on the bios this week? I'm torn between Hermes and Sigyn myself. ;)
Jade_Dragon
07-22-2005, 06:23 PM
Sigyn was very cool. But I just love saying Huitzilopochtli. Huitzilopochtli. Huitzilopochtli. It's just so much fun! :D
(I'm not sure if this is the "official" pronunciation, but I've always said it as "Hutch-i-la-pitch-i-li". Just say that three times fast and you'll know what I mean...)
[edit] I should probably add that my idea for Hermes' bio came mainly from the fact that I couldn't make his winged hat, so I ended up giving him a more high tech-looking "football helmet" instead.

Jade_Dragon
07-22-2005, 06:32 PM
Hwit-zill-oh-POK-tlee? :D
That's probably closer. There is more of an "o" sound in the fourth syllable, instead of an "i". I just remembered it a bit wrong.
My way's easier to say, though. Especially three times fast. :D
the_starcrosser
07-22-2005, 06:52 PM
IIiiiii think i'd just stick with saying "Hweetzil" ... or whatever. With south american names, you can never tell what letters sound like what..... "Xochitl" sounds like "Sosheel"
It's fun though... Huitzilopochtli! He rocked all our socks... >_o
Did we get pics of the later-comers bios? I didn't get a chance to read 'em... *goes to look at pictures*

I think BvS was Bellerophon, previously Faunus/Pan. He and Divine Evil showed up at the same time, and D.E. said she was BvS's "better half".
Or he might have been Huitzilopochtli.

I did that once. I had already upgraded my laptop's RAM to 512M, and bought another hoping 1G would make it run better. But 512M was the machine's limit. I bought a whole memory card for nothing... :D
Oh, well, now I have a spare.

Oddly enough, it was just perfect timing to blame for that pic. I was just angling the camera around to snap all three of us in one shot (and Sigyn was running in place for some reason), and then you said that. I wish I could have captioned that shot further.
Thoth: "Well, I don't know where you guys ran off to...."
Nyarlathotep: *whispering* "Okay, Sigyn, run up and slap him on the butt!"
Priceless timing, eh? :D

Well, next week is Zombies, and Actually While I like the Idea, I'll swtich it if you guys don't, if you do, I'll explain the idea I have a little better.
I did, indeed, appear as Faunus and then actually play as Belerophon (the correct spelling having already been taken). The aerial dogfights were quite entertaining.
Killer Bee (my wife) participated as Divine Evil and then showed up at the end as Gaia TNT.
I'm curious to hear what you have in mind for Zombies, Kurai. I don't see enough facial options in the character creator to offer much variety.

Hey, there's no written law that zombies can't be at least a little smart. Ask All Flesh Must Be Eaten. If the rest of the zombie works (at a slightly diminished capacity), then why not the brain as well? ;)
'Creative', you say?
You mean like

I got a little bit of a different Idea Structure. Make two people, a human, and a Zombie. Why you may ask?
1. Zombies v. Humans: Last man Standing, Whomever Falls to the Zombie becomes a Zombie Next round. That keeps going till we run out of Humans. Afterwards we have a traditional fight.
I'm just throwing that out... anywho.
All the Humans are AR Blasters and all the Zombies are SS Tanks...
And someone records a demo of the whole thing.
I'm ready for my closeup, Mr Romero.

That sounds fun. But you'll probably need to get a roster going just to identify which humans and which zombies belong to which Gurus, a la:
The Widowed
Zombie: The Isotope Zombie
Human: Liz from Hazcon
Speaking of which, here's my zombie-fighting human:
http://img314.imageshack.us/img314/1945/Liz1.jpg
http://img314.imageshack.us/img314/1604/Liz2.jpg
I clicked on Coyote by mistake, and even though I clicked Leave he sent Liz to Galaxy City anyway. I have no idea why, but he did that rather than simply aborting the conversation. And I haven't moved her an inch. I hope she can still play. :|
Or did you mean that we should create living and undead versions of the same person? :think:
Akamaz
07-25-2005, 02:35 AM
Well, i made Sgt Hack (inv axe tanker) a sergant in the militia brought in to take down the zombie menace, he has his M-16, but preferrs to use his axe to a mamby pamby gun. a tailor made cocktail of combat drugs help him ignore the worst of the damage done to him.
and Zombie Hack (stone/mace tanker)
the main story as to why he came back? he's just too ornery to stay dead.. the restless spirit brought him along, with fragments of his burial ground still stick to the corpse offering some protection... he lost his trusty axe (due mostly to being too dumb to figure out the sharp end) and has a spiky length of pipe instead.
I say we bring our zombie versions to the arena, so we don't have to wait for the second stage. (i can trust you guys not to "twink" your zombies.. can't I?)
The Widowed
07-25-2005, 02:40 AM
Me? Sure. That or we schedule any zombie players to come in a half-hour early and make the zombie migration together. :D
Akamaz
07-25-2005, 02:42 AM
i guess... i already have zombie hack to the arena
Jade_Dragon
07-25-2005, 07:18 PM
Yeah, folks have accidently clicked on Coyote before, and he won't let you abort, so I don't think it's any big deal. I trust you guys, too. :D
Somewhat along the same lines, since I've been bringing in extra characters, I've been deleting the extra Inspirations if I use them on the first character. I think we can say that since EVERYONE is supposed to have two characters in this one, though, just use the Inspirations as normal.
I'll stand down this week, but look forward to seeing what the theme for next week is. Enjoy :)

The Widowed

Am I in before D'Arkaine? Maybe I can be a TNT correspondent too! :D
So we had a Patient Zero situation. A contagious zombie was on the loose. And a raggedy band of survivors was dispatched to deal with the threat.
Opposing Forces:
Zombie 01
Operative Forces:
Big head guy
Sewer Worker
Saguaro Flower
Safari Bob
Sgt. Hack
Liz from Hazcon
The first skirmish took place in an old office building. After a valiant struggle, Big Head fell to Zombie 01's relentless onslaught.
http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/1530/Zombies4.jpg
The two zombies then joined forces and brought down Safari Bob. The contagion was spreading. The desperate survivors were separated and scattered into two roving bands. Alas, the Blue Team was driven into the forest and separated further; Without Sewer Worker's protection, Saguaro Flower was the next to be pulled down.
http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/6590/Zombies3.jpg
The zombies then held the advantage of numbers, outnumbering their living opponents four to three. A sense of purpose seemed to bind the zombies and their movements, and even her superb training as an armed Hazard Control specialist couldn't shield Liz against a united assault from the undead.
Then outnumbered five to two, Sewer Worker and Sgt. Hack were tossed into a pitched battle from which Sewer Worker would not emerge alive. Sgt. Hack was last seen screaming furiously, hacking madly and standing atop a growing pile of corpses as the undead teemed around him....
http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/4236/Zombies2.jpg
And so the zombies, in the vague mimicries of sentience, celebrated their triumph and partied hardy. But then, after a few group photos and some breakdancing, the zombies decided that they didn't much like each other after all, and so they launched into a pitched battle for supremacy over the Walking Dead.

I took a whole bunch of screenshots. I haven't had time to go through and edit them yet, however, D'Arkaine may be able to use them for his web site.

It was great. You should have been there. :D
I just can't believe I screwed up the colors for HazContaminated's goggles. The frames should have been yellow just as they were with Liz, and the lenses were to be a bright green. I can't believe this somehow slipped past me. Maybe I was too distracted with trying to get the camo pattern color to match up with her skin color for that "contaminated" or "shredded hazard suit" look. At least I got that part right.... :(

I also caught you saying something in both pics, although the first doesn't make sense, unless you realize I was asking for the command to turn on the UI. It sounds like a reference to the zombies, though. "How do the zombies turn you into zombies?" "With a slash, I think" :D
I will probably go through this weekend and tidy up the pics, paste the group pics together and weed out the best of the game shots. Then come up with a nice list of captions for them so you know what's going on. I managed to catch about three of the five humans at the very moment they fell, so it nicely tells the story.
I will probably clear out that directory when I do, so if anyone wants to download the screenshots for their own use (D'Ark, for instance) go ahead and get them now.

Or a bite. Or a blood transfusion. Or a deep kiss (ick). Or--given the City of Heroes' mode of play--a kick, a gunshot, a fireball or a solid hit from a mace.

08-11-2005, 01:56 AM
I have no idea. I suggested to Sonic that we could do a "Blast From the Past" (aka. "All Hell Breaks Loose" or "Chaosorama" or whatever) theme, where we either dig up our own previous contestants (who ideally should have logged out of their Tussle in the Arena without seeing the light of day ever since) or faithfully rebuilding them from scratch. That way we could have GretchenGrundle versus Leon Homage versus Zombie Bob versus the Goldfinch versus Hermes versus Fluffy Darkness.... :D
Or does anyone have a better idea?
Kurai Inago
08-11-2005, 04:37 AM
Oh yeah, I remember that, we were slinging ideas around during that Crey mission (The one in your Threat Report) I suggested come as your Favorite Villian group. (I found a way to make a mod that lets you see a chest pattern as the Protector one... I'll see if I can get that working.)

Not to install it. But I needed one to make it in the First place. I'll set up a download after I finish the Male Version. I'll also probably Mod a boot, Glove and Pant Pattern to match as well.
EDIT: I'm also trying to make a Knives of Atemis Chest Emblem, as well as changing the Traditional Fist Emblem into a Rockfist. Why? Eh, I feel like it.

in that case, i guess for tonight it is come as your favorite past tussle char(sweet idea widdy)! (darn it for leveling fluffy darkness). That one you're cooking up kurai should ease the pangs of cov.
any new participants, can make any type of char they want to join in tonight. :) But I really recommend picking an AT you normally have next to nothing to do with. It's helped me see other ATs in a new light.

Here's BBQ, Bleu, and mainly, Granite without his armor (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tusslelineup1.jpg)

Stunned Polar Duck (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle02.jpg)Polar Duck returns the favor (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle03.jpg)Earth vs Fire! Woo! (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle04.jpg)
R.I.P. (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle05.jpg) :D
Magpie realizes that the best place for an FFer is watching. (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle06.jpg)Unless it's one on one... (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle07.jpg)

Nice action shot (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle22.jpg)And a good shot of Goldfinch firing (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle23.jpg)Get the Blaster! (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle24.jpg)

The Villains Tussle was indeed a blast. We finally got to try one with both SK and Burby (both Tussle virgins). Now if only we could get Alumette and Poison in there.... :)
And here's a pic of the last match we ran after you left, D'Ark. It was my very first 15 Domination match...and my new favorite type of match. :D

For someone who's as anti-pvp as I am, I have to say it was a lot of fun, got frustrating at times since I was getting ganged up on, but having the 2nd most kills in the event and being the first one out the door kind of says something as to why I was being "picked on" lol.

A couple of questions...
Must they always be so late? I'm on my way to work at the regular times. Also, is Thursday set in stone forever? Could we not have an occasional "Sunday or Saturday night Tussle"?
Finally... How are the themes chosen? Is it just whatever pops into D'ark's head?
Akamaz
08-19-2005, 02:49 PM
it's whatever pops into Me or one of my lieutenants brains.. I mught be interested in branching out into "Friday night Firefight" and Saturday Night Skuffle" but right now we're going for one night due to play times for the person who was formerly the only host (me) lately with the baby coming and getting ready for that I've bneen letting things go more in the hands of my enforcers D'arkaine, Jade Dragon, and i think Kurai and Widdy are sharing henchmen-ness.

Good luck with the baby.
Akamaz

now with the baby coming, i've been missing most thursdays lately, so we may expand to say..... saturday night skuffle? It all depends on the schedules of the hosts.
Jade_Dragon
08-19-2005, 04:06 PM
Yeah, you pick a Controller (Particularly Mind) with the understanding that you're easily the toughest $&#%@ in the match, but you also have a big sign on your back that says, "Kick me". :D
Also, personally I wasn't trying TOO hard to attack my fellow Vahzilok. :D Didn't help us any, but there is that.
As for Saturday, I'm up for it, although not this week. :D My schedule is more sporadic, so I have more freedom to be around at any time when I AM around. (But when I'm not, I'm not)

Yeah... that Power thrust power in the energy secondary should be really useful. I know web grenade blows in pvp.(at least at the level we play at. had it this past Saturday. Slow animation, misses a lot, and you really have to hit twice to be effective)
Kurai Inago

only stipulations -> No Controllers or Kheldians.
suburbanhell
09-02-2005, 10:05 AM
Oooh Sidekicks! This should prove interesting.
Jade_Dragon
09-02-2005, 04:32 PM
Web Grenade is actually extremely useful in the Tussles. Remember that the alternative is either Power Thrust, or one of the immobilizes. Web Grenade immobilizes, slows rate of attack, and slows and kills jump for a considerable amount of time after it wears off. Of course, Power Thrust is also extremely useful. (And I got good results out of Chilblain)
Anyway, I can't believe I missed the Tussle again! Things just got so bad that I just completely forgot about it. I can't be there for the Saturday Skuffle, either, so it looks like I'll just have to try and catch the next Tussle.
Jade_Dragon
09-02-2005, 04:36 PM
Oooh Sidekicks! This should prove interesting.
Well, we already did junior versions of our heroes, so I sort of went with a sidekick design with both of them. Maybe I'll go with something a little less like the original, or come up with a sidekick based on someone else's hero. I'd do the female version, but I've already done that with JD and BD, and someone else did a female SR Scrapper that looked just like Bloodwolf...
I guess I'll have to think on it a while, nothing's coming to mind yet. :D

Gotta disagree with you there, Jade. With the way the tussle rules are set up, Web Grenade gets no enhancements. Against other players, it really takes TWO consecutive hits to really have any decent effect. It has slow animation and it eats MAJOR endurance.(Malibu Sally is a lvl. 44 dev blaster... even with Stamina 6 slotted, I can burn all my endurance just tossing web grenades. Yes, I've done that in big fights)
A blaster using Web Grenade in the tussle is asking for trouble.
Where it IS helpful is in regular arena matches with travel powers allowed. Web grenade is great for taking out flyers.

I've got pics from the Sidekicks Tussle up at www.phan.org/tussle (http://www.phan.org/tussle). You can just view the pictures directly from the directory. I'm not going to post links for all of them, like last time, but thought I'd single out my favorites:
BuddyBot demonstrates his vertical evasion technique (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle04.jpg)
What are we all lookin' at? (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle10.jpg)
Not in the face! (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle19.jpg)
It takes the two teams so long to find each other in the Hive, that they take a moment to build up the tension (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle21.jpg)
I'm not sure what's going on here, but it looks acrobatic (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle23.jpg)
Hit him so hard he ended up with a halo (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle32.jpg)
Kidnetix and Hackatha can't stop fighting (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle34.jpg)
Note Hostage Boy's smile (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle39.jpg)
There goes Bullseye with that backflip again (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle40.jpg)
Those may be Res debuffs, but it still looks like BuddyBot's in love with Hackatha... (http://www.phan.org/tussle/tussle41.jpg)

The Matrix Online with Kurai.
I gave him a bunch of clothes and weapons, we shot up a bunch of gang members, then we stormed into a tenement home and shot up a bunch of Merovingian soldiers. And Ruby got to harvest their bodies for spare code fragments. Pretty cool. :p

i think an f2 tornado is a valid excuse.
Not as valid as tag-teaming with Kurai in MxO, though. :P
Kurai Inago
09-23-2005, 04:45 PM
Yes. That team up was alot of fun. Next time take screenshots and post in the MxO thread..... And I slept through the first half of the Tussle and just kinda said "Oh forget it" when I woke up.

Um, what's the theme for tonight?
suburbanhell
09-29-2005, 12:24 PM
Yeah...that's a good question...Oh mighty powers that be please answer our question......NOW!!!!
Meltman
09-29-2005, 01:44 PM
How about U.S. Presidents?
suburbanhell
09-29-2005, 01:57 PM
Oh man that would be sweet I sooo have a good idea for that...but what ArchType would that be?
Meltman
09-29-2005, 02:10 PM
Tanks or scrappers, I'd think.
suburbanhell
09-29-2005, 02:19 PM
Sweet then I have my president concept already ready already.
suburbanhell
09-29-2005, 08:38 PM
...Or at least if the theme is U.S. Presidents as Tanks I have my concept. Behold!

Ok. Don't know what happened this week. I do apologize. We'll be doing Political tanks this saturday on pinnacle.
Next Thursday -> Plant Based Defenders. I've about run through the animal kingdom :)

I will have the pics posted to donnyd.com shortly. We had a tie in the team event. Very rare.
Next week's Tussle will be Blasters Beyond (inspired from the Gurus Beyond Thread). Make a Blaster version of a character set 50 years or so in the future. Maybe your scrapper main is using a rifle in 50 years since his/her reflexes arent the same. Maybe a younger person has taken on your main char's mantle. Maybe your kid has gotten into the game.

Tussle called on account of rain.
Chain Lightning
10-14-2005, 03:16 AM
Is it being rescheduled? I actually made a 'Blaster Beyond' toon for it.
suburbanhell
10-14-2005, 05:19 PM
Yeah lets aim for Next Thursday. This was my bad I completely lost track of time on that damned cape mish in CoV...
D'Arkaine
10-16-2005, 03:33 AM
Guys, I'm taking a break from the tussle/skuffle for a bit. Burby has been selected to be a co-host for the events and I'm sure y'all have a blast.
Akamaz
01-27-2006, 06:16 PM
well, last night's tussle was a sucess, i think there was more fun in the pets only fights than with the free for alls!
we need to start on next weeks theme. I say for AT Defenders and corruptors
all we need is a theme
suburbanhell
01-27-2006, 07:13 PM
A theme... Defenders and Corruptors... How bout "I R Heelr!" with our defenders and corruptors dressed up as doctors and nurses?
Meltman
01-27-2006, 07:20 PM
How about 'We come in peace/Soylent Green is people!' Alien ambassadors/alien invaders.
suburbanhell
01-31-2006, 01:08 AM
So...the official theme is?
Akamaz
01-31-2006, 02:41 PM
Hmm, I like "We come in peace/Soylent Green"
Alien ambassadors/alien invaders
and i thought of something how well do controllers and Dominators stack up?
D'Arkaine
01-31-2006, 04:54 PM
not sure - never seen them face off before.
both have control as primary...I see doms really taking it tho as they have blaster attacks as secondary. hold em, blast em.
Akamaz
01-31-2006, 05:48 PM
yeah, but they don't get that whole "triple damage while held"
suburbanhell
02-03-2006, 02:12 PM
So uh....I kind of was too tired to log on and participate last night -- how did it go...or did it even happen?
MaligneFamily
02-03-2006, 04:17 PM
yeah... only me and Dark... did one battle and had a draw.
suburbanhell
02-03-2006, 07:01 PM
Dayum....sorry I missed it.
suburbanhell
02-07-2006, 02:10 PM
Well...it's Tuesday morning...we should probably start discussing themes now?
Akamaz
02-07-2006, 03:34 PM
lackeys and sidekicks the unsung heroes!
villains and heroes free for all! (except for Kheldians, cause they suck)
suburbanhell
02-07-2006, 03:37 PM
Controllers/Dominators included? If so I see no reason why we can't accept Kheldians and just disable travel powers?
Akamaz
02-09-2006, 06:34 PM
hmm, i can see your point. blappers and melee only! howabout that?
MaligneFamily
02-09-2006, 09:05 PM
whats the theme .... the sets are of less interest to me.
Akamaz
02-09-2006, 09:18 PM
sidekicks and lackeys
MaligneFamily
02-09-2006, 10:35 PM
Hmmm thats hard to think of.... BTW I'll be on by ten pm EST
Akamaz
02-10-2006, 02:03 PM
sorry bout last night, got we <3 Katamari and a wireless controller (radio wireless, not crap IR) must... roll... katamari.... dog commands it....
Akamaz
03-08-2006, 06:56 PM
Cool! I didn't think the tussles were still going on!
yes widdy, they are, I'm timing a big TNT event with Thursday nights, to go along with my 2 hour program on Radioguru for thursday nights. also in the works is a TNT commercial to advise of the themes.
D'Arkaine
03-11-2006, 11:47 PM
So - what will be the theme for this thursday? what AT?
suburbanhell
03-12-2006, 12:10 AM
"Heroes turned away at the registration desk" :D
Meltman
03-13-2006, 03:55 PM
Having seen some of the heroes that made it past the registration desk...I can only imagine the horrors of such characters as Captain Flasher and The Human Cheese Eating Man.
Akamaz
03-13-2006, 04:20 PM
That is perfect Burby... I'm still working on something for radioguru, but if you all could at least mention TNT once or twice duering your shows.. it would be appreciated
D'Arkaine
03-13-2006, 05:35 PM
any AT?
or are we limiting it to one particular AT like we were before the hiatus?
I ask because limiting it to one type really made the matches more even and interesting.
suburbanhell
03-13-2006, 11:51 PM
Yeah lets keep it to one AT.
And you can bet your ass I'll be promoting the hell out of TNT from 5-7 on Thursdays.
Akamaz
03-14-2006, 02:42 AM
whaddaya say about running them as... hmmm defenders?
Meltman
03-14-2006, 01:14 PM
Hmmm defenders? Is that with a whazat secondary?
Akamaz
03-14-2006, 02:25 PM
and a ktxbye primary

03-15-2006, 07:13 AM
Fear not, Justice-dwelling Villains who crave the Tussle, for your prayers shall soon be answered! :D

Or do we have a Tussle teleporter already? :think:

Let's make it so some actually come to the thursday one first...
Meltman
03-15-2006, 07:22 PM
Some of us CAN'T come to the Thursday one. EVER.
Akamaz
03-15-2006, 07:44 PM
I know, there is nothing stopping folks from holding a SNS (Saturday Night Skuffle) right now we're focusing on the TNT (including radioguru spots to try to get more interest)
The Widowed
03-15-2006, 08:03 PM
not to my knowledge widdy - that's awful damn nice of you :)
Thank you. :thumbup:
I figure I'll have to get Miss TNT up to at least level 14 to make her effective, though, as she'll need both Recall Friend and a travel power--Teleport would be the most efficient choice--as there would be several steps to the process:
1) The competing Villains emerge from Breakout, train with Arbiter Diaz and wait until the appointed start time of the Tussle...or perhaps a standard of ten minutes prior to the start time should be imposed before kicking off Step 2....
2) Ms. TNT Recalls all of the competitors from Fort Darwin to the ferry. If you miss the boat, you'll have to either wait till next week or suck up to me so I'll come back and get you after I get all of the prompt, timely and courteously punctual people to the arena first.
3) Ms. TNT and the competitors take the ferry to Port Oakes.
4) Ms. TNT chain-Teleports her way to the Port Oakes Arena.
5) Ms. TNT Recalls all of the competitors to the Port Oakes Arena once she get there.
6) Ms. TNT grabs an Observe-o-bot, watches the matches and keeps an ear open for the inevitable Johnny-come-lately sorts who arrive tardy. There's always a few.... :rolleyes:
Naturally, I'll have to get Ms. TNT to the Mercy Island side of the ferry before logging off with her, just so she's in position for the next Tussle. I should probably get her signed up with the Supergroup too, if there is one. Who handles that, anyway?
*cough cough* Saturdays? *cough*
I leave the creation of Miss Saturday Night to you. Or to anyone else who wants to volunteer their time on Saturday night to help with the Scuffle. :D
Let's make it so some actually come to the thursday one first...
If you create the teleporter, they will come. ;)
D'Arkaine
03-15-2006, 09:11 PM
But we need to have a way for you to participate also...hmm....I think FluffyDarkness will take recall friend and she can help you get to 14 - she is currently lvl7 or 8. If i can ill log on with her tonight and work on that.
ack...im an idiot...she's on virtue...
ok...ill make a new char tonight for this purpose....maybe a plant dom....or ninja mm...
Akamaz
03-15-2006, 09:52 PM
I've got an idea for next week. the invisible man. (all stalkers)

Oh, don't worry about me. I get to bamf everyone there, I get to watch the fights (and possibly help judge as well) and I get to bamf anyone who wants to keep their Tussler for something more long-term back to Mercy Island. I have a good job. Just look to Miss Thursday Night as the facilitator, showgirl and/or mascot of the Thursday Night Tussle. :D
Malibu Sally
03-16-2006, 05:38 AM
Some of us CAN'T come to the Thursday one. EVER.
Does this mean that you and me will be sitting around in the arena by ourselves on Saturdays? :rolleyes:

Those of you that said you would better participate in this TNT or I'll destroy you!

I'd like to thank everyone for the great turnout we had last night (it wasn't bad considering the slump lately) Be sure to tell your friends about this! also just a friendly reminder, 9:30 PM EST is when we will be starting, anyone not ready to go at 9:30 EST will need to wait for the next event. Usually we do matchups for an hour or so, so there's plenty of opportunities! thanks!

03-23-2006, 02:38 PM
This week's theme is still See No Evil, right? All Stalkers?
suburbanhell
03-23-2006, 02:45 PM
"See No Evil"?
Bitter Babe
03-23-2006, 02:53 PM
This is what Akamaz posted:
Thursday March 23rd, the TNT AT will be Stalkers, and the Theme? the invisible man of course!

03-23-2006, 03:13 PM
Yeah it wasn't in this thread, was in the other TNT thread.
Akamaz
03-23-2006, 03:22 PM
yeah, the one for themes and rules :) I just hope that this works out ok, maybe everyone should make a backup just in case all stalkers ends up too lame (as in nobody can see nobody)
hmm thoughts?
Meltman
03-23-2006, 06:27 PM
Um, how about (for a backup) Scrappers (Or brutes, if you really want it to be CoV): Matrix character rejects?
The Widowed
03-23-2006, 06:28 PM
Ack! I still need to work on Miss Thursday Night! Gangway, gangway!
Akamaz
03-23-2006, 07:00 PM
widdy you slacker!!! /em crackwhip
hmm, howabout for backups matrix Cast? (like umm... err... the folks who go into the matrix (i forget what they're called) free for all villains? (no AT limiter)
nah, matrixcast sounds like it deserves it's own week...
how about we do that next week, and this weeks backup be brute stereotypes? (with brute as the at of course)
