If the player of Lady Valiance is here, please be aware that she's been unplayed for 125 days as of today, and we may need a slot for the return of Aegis Sanctuary. This is official notice of a pending kick.

...has returned to Paragon. Evangelia had email from her when I went in last night -- email that had been written a spare couple hours earlier. It's almost as though kicking her out of the group made her reappear.
Anyway long story short, Aegis wants back in. I'm cool with that, and intend on inviting her next time we're both on together. However, if someone with invite privileged sees her before I do and brings her back in, I won't be offended.
She's not getting her old leader slot, though -- I'll promote her back up to Commander, but no higher.

I have multiple heroes/villains to create costumes for, and I'm completely stuck on themes. Here's the costumes I have for each one so far of the ones I'm stuck on:
Unseeing Eye (Ill/Kin Controller)
1) Orange/Grey, lots of circles. Emphasis on the 'eye' aspect.
2) Green/Black. Green Lantern/Parallax homage.
3) Purple, martial arts robe/pants. I was thinking oriental mage when I made it.
4) ????????????
Dustball (dark/dark scrapper):
1) Think a drow in a wife-beater and jeans. I dunno, it made me giggle.
2) Homage costume to 'The Shadow'
3) I need a 'darkness' hero to homage - who?
Australis (PB):
1) Steve Irwin/Quigley Down Under homage.
2) Australian 'patriotic' outfit (red/white/blue)
3) ???????????????????????

Ones I *have* decided, but haven't made yet. If you have any suggestions, let me know:
VLSI (Warshade):
I've been making his costumes progressively more 'human-like' and less robotic. His first was all circuitry, the second is a sort of robot body. I'm thinking one of the next two should be the 'metallic' body.
Inheritance (Soldier/Traps MM):
His first was based off of the Padded outfit. His second is sort of an homage to some of the Arachnos LTs/Bosses. His third is going to look like the Spec Ops soldier.

Is anyone having problems reaching my website on eclipse.net, or anything else on eclipse.net for that matter? Such as the banner that should be at the top of the forum pages? Please let me know. I'm trying to track down a problem with both Eclipse/NetCarrier and Patriot Media, my cable modem provider, and I seem to recall that at least one person has mentioned having had difficulty reaching the site in the last week.

It's been a while since I've been here, and I've probably moved twice since I *was* last here.
So hello to everyone I don't know, and "I'm back!" to everyone I do know...

EEK! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SIG?!
(old sig removed - it doesn't work any more ;_[table]

I put this together a short time ago, and asked him to take a look at it (thanks again, Bob!), which he did before going on his recent holiday. It took me this long to put it on my website... (sigh)

Last night in global chat on CoH, the "Pokegirls" fictions came up. I mentioned that I had written a series in a related universe, and someone made the mistake of showing interest...
www.angelfire.com/anime4/...cf/cf.html
These stories are not explicitly sexual, but may be considered moderately suggestive. Any attempts to investigate the background of the series probably *will* lead to things that are explicitly sexual though.
Oh, and on the extinction thing I mentioned... here's the logic I'm using.
These parts are based on things I'd read before:
1. Increased pokewomon genes in the gene pool are causing fewer male children to be born, and more female children to eventually go through threshhold. These trends are increasing.
2. Pokewomen who don't have regular contact (not necessarily sexual) with a human lose most of their intelligence and capability for rational thought.
3. Eventually, no normal humans will be born, those alive will die, and without contact with normal humans all pokewomen in the world will eventually go feral. While humanity as a species will sort of continue to exist, the mental traits that make humanity special will be gone forever.
However, my box of monkey wrenches and I don't particularly like that ending...

Song Title: Trigger Happy
Artist: Weird Al Yankovic
Proposed Power: Looney gets guns with unlimited ammo and a irresistible urge to shoot everything that moves. (best used if Doug is in a desperate situation alone.)
Got an AK-47, well you know it makes me feel alright
Got an Uzi by my pillow, helps me sleep a little better at night
There's no feeling any greater
Than to shoot first and ask questions later
Now I'm trigger happy,(wooooooo) trigger happy every day
Well, you can't take my guns away, I got a constitutional right
Yeah, I gotta be ready if the Commies attack us tonight
I'll blow their brains out with my Smith and Wesson
That ought to teach them all a darn good lesson
Now I'm trigger happy,(wooooooo) trigger happy every day
(Oh yeah, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh baby, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh I'm so)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away
Oh, I accidently shot daddy last night in the den
I mistook him in the dark for a drug-crazed Nazi again
Now why'd you have to get so mad?
It was just a lousy flesh wound, Dad
You know, I'm trigger happy,(woooooooo) trigger happy every day
Oh, I still haven't figured out the safety on my rifle yet
Little Fluffy took a round, better take him to the vet
I filled that kitty cat so full of lead
We'll have to use him for a pencil instead
Well, I'm so trigger happy, trigger happy every day
(Oh yeah, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh baby, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh I'm so)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away
Come on and grab your ammo
What have you got to lose?
We'll get all liquored up
And shoot at anything that moves
Got a brand new semi-automatic weapon with a laser sight
Oh, I'm prayin' somebody tries to break in here tonight
I always keep a Magnum in my trunk
You better ask yourself, do you feel lucky, punk?
Because I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day
(Oh yeah, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh baby, I'm)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
(Oh I'm so)trigger, trigger happy
Yes I'm trigger, trigger happy
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away
