I don't know if this is actually something that got messed up in the Wiki, or it's an oddity of Chrome, but I've recently noticed several pages where material tagged as quotes does not respect boxes and spreads over them. The SOS-Dan page is an example I am looking at right now.

| TPN "Fair and Balanced" Badge Attempt? |

So after the trial-palooza, one of the things that obviously annoyed some of us in regards to the TPN campus Trial was the Pacification debuff that the 4 Seer Telepaths outside the buildings apply.
I mean. SERIOUSLY annoying.
However -
It's not as if this is a complete "fuck you" by the Devs. There's not only a method to deal with them, there's even an accomplishment badge to go with it!
Quote:Badge: "Fair & Balanced"
"Do not allow a single Telepathist to convert 4 or more citizens for the duration of TPN Campus, and then finish the trial to earn this badge."
Thing is - aside from the repetitive nature of TPN (about 3-4 too many repeats of the same action with the terminals IMO) I think this would be a fun and even quick Incarnate Trial - if not for the bloody Pacification Debuff! And I for one am curious to see how it would run without that handicap. (And there's that badge for the completionists of course.)
So - my proposal: A TPN run where we designate 2-4 members of the team as a debuff ... er... debuff team. With extreme prejudice even. Call them the AT Team. (Anti-Telepath)
Note: SINGLE TARGET DAMAGE melee or long-range SINGLE TARGET Blaster fire needed for this! NO AOE attacks whatsoever! The telepaths are among the civvies and you hurt them and our ratings go DOWN big time.
Plus if possible one Buffer on the team that can lay a defense/resistance buff on the anti-telepath team to mitigate any existing Pacification debuff. Preferably one that can provide some long range single target damage themselves.
Stalkers would be IDEAL for this as well.
Further note: The civvies actually won't be a problem or dangerous (i.e.: they won't attack) if we keep the telepaths suppressed. (that's what the badge is all about)
Okay - those are my thoughts on the AT team. Any more thought on composition/numbers/tactics? Anything I'm missing?
Date/Time: Soon(ish). I'm posting this to see if there's interest first. Then we'll figure out times/schedules.
So post and let me know what you think of this idea.

Well, wasn't that fun? I'm still half-asleep (no coffee yet), but I don't think I'd've missed it for the world.
For those who weren't there: Just for giggles at around 9 Eastern last night, I decided to make an Arachnos Warrior toon -- just to see what the archetype was like, as I hadn't played one (nor a Widow) yet despite being eligible to for literally years. I ran the first couple missions, and was about to do the finale of the first real arc I was in (Fire Wire), when suddenly everyone on the Legendary channel at the time goes, "Redside action? Let's get in on this! No one ever plays redside."
And the next thing I know, I'm leading a merry band of psychopaths in a romp across the lower three Rogue Isles, including a Death From Below trial, a frame-up job of a bank robbery, and getting in on Dr. Graves' illicit little tournament, in which I meet the redside equivalent of Twinshot and her merry band. And may I say it appears that Dollface is just as hated as Flambeaux? We must get the two of them together some time.
All in all, we ended up running for some three or four hours, into the wee hours of the morning; I know I barely got to bed at 1:30 AM...
Anyway, people, I had a great time. We've got to do that again soon.

In the transhuman future! Bloodsport is televised!
Kind of a fun little FTP game based on one of the Unreal engines. I like the philosophy of their FTP: You can earn everything that changes gameplay by playing the game. Buying it through microtransactions only makes it faster.
I play there as "Hilltopper" on the matchmaking service as a free agent on the US East servers.

Inspired by a Nightwish song...
Quote:6:30 winter morn
Snow keeps falling, silent dawn
A rose by any other name
Eva leaves her Swanbrook home.
A kindest heart which always made
Me ashamed of my own.
She walks alone but not without her name.
Eva flies away,
Dreams the world far away.
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name.
Eva sails away,
Dreams the world far away.
The Good in her will be my sunflower field.
Mocked by man to depths of shame
Little girl with life ahead.
For a memory of one kind word
She would stay among the beasts.
Time for one more daring dream
Before her escape,
Edenbeam we kill with her own loving heart.
Eva flies away,
Dreams the world far away.
In this cruel children's game
There's no friend to call her name.
Eva sails away,
Dreams the world far away.
The Good in her will be my sunflower field.
When Benjamin was awakening an AI at 36 Atalante this song happened to come up in iPod's rotation and Eva Nightwish was born. Equipped to a modified Blackbird-class aerospace frame, she has made it her personal mission to save as many lost children as possible, wherever they may be, whatever their circumstances.
The Obtenebrated Angel is a normal Blackbird only at first glance. If one were to look carefully, they would notice she only has ports for a single point-defense gun and only a half-sized VLS module. Oddly enough, however, she has a pair of anti-personnel miniguns firing 7.62mm caseless ammunition located in the chinaries in place of the usual 40mm coil guns. Inside, she is one part ambulance and one part school bus.
While she knows that she can't save every child out there, she will go after the most dire cases or even children that have somehow managed to biomod themselves and find themselves ostracized for it. These children are usually taken to whatever child-friendly faction will have them (the Senshi are usually pretty quick to take in children with their love and justice motif), but some 'special cases' are taken to 36 Atalante where they usually become Roughriders.
Eva's mission has taken her into some fairly dangerous places, but her most daring escapade was when she came under fire from pirates in Somalia when she evacuated an entire orphanage. She would later refuse having any kill marks applied.
Thoughts?

For those not following him, Wil Wheaton has a webcast series that's been going for about four weeks now. "Tabletop" is his contribution to Felicia Day's "Geeks & Sundry" channel on YouTube, and can be basically summed up as "Wil Wheaton plays boardgames with his friends and lets you watch." It's pretty entertaining, nicely edited to keep it from being boring, and has enough humor to keep me watching it at least. So far, they've done Small World, Settlers of Catan (naturally), Ticket to Ride, and an episode with a trio of short games - Zombie Dice, Get Bit!, and Tsuro. Guests have included folks from "Eureka" and other actors, bloggers, Rod Rodenberry, and Wil's wife (they are cute together). Episodes air on Saturday, I believe. This week's will be Munchkin.
Eb Bob sez, "Check it out!"
