"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

- Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012

So I'm working on a story, and I realized something: One of Dee's Troyer units is about exactly the same size & general configuration as Reinforce from Nanoha StrikerS. I don't know what that means, but I know it means something.

That is all, you may go about your business. England Prevails.

So I was playing around in Mids' earlier, and I wound up scratching up a pair of Dual Pistols characters that I can almost...almost charitably call "Pistols Scrappers". I'm posting them here in case there's any interest in destroying them/tweaking them; the design goal is to be a "Pistols Scrapper", so there's a ton of room for improvement, I'm sure.

In what's no doubt part of their continuing effort to spread Steam out to every computer gamer on the planet and the rollon to the add games to ya wishlist to win 'em competition they had a bit back.
They're now running a treasure hunt (http://store.steampowered.com/treasurehunt) in which you must hit a bunch of achivements in an effort to unlock a hat for Team Fortress 2, gain entrys in a draw to win games from your wishlist and then ending on a big grand prize: 1 person will get 100 games.

So far I'm on 3 cleared objectives out of 10 (What Happens in Vegas, Self Portrait, Go To Your Happy Place). All of them the rather simple to get ones. That mean I've got two more to go till I get a hat and if I'd 10 Steam friends I'd have 1 more to get before having a new hat.
Something that http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197994830030 currently meets on 2 counts (Self Portrait, Friends with Benefits)

I've been working on clearing "Up the Ante" but http:////store.steampowered.com/app/31280 is harder than you think.

Still has anyone heard of anyone benefiting from the last round of winning games from their Steam wishlist?

 I have a couple of questions regarding those charge pads that recharge cellphone batteries wirelessly:
- Do you have to take the cover (the decorative cover you may or may not have) off of the phone before you put it on the pad?
-Is it even worth it, and if so, what would be the best bet out there?
 Thanks in advance

Looks like all the little image files on the forum skin that were still pointed at ezboard.com are giving 404s now.

I *should* still have those images saved somewhere, but I'm not sure exactly what it'll take to get them working again. Which is why I was happy when they still *worked* from ezboard. Feh.

The weather went to the teens here in Birmingham. They didn't tell me it went below freezing here in the South! I miss California already!

In an effort to take add to the number of Heal-bots that are in the roster I'm going to try concentrating on my Empathy Defender.
She's a Emp/Psi defender, a rather interesting defender. So far she's made it to level 35 on just team invites. She has never run any mission. You see she's mute (and blind), and can't physically talk to any contacts, hence the name: Silent Helper. This is even more impressive when you realise that I've only had to break character once and advertise my LFT status. This was before Issue 19... since then she hasn't had much luck getting teams.
That being said, her aim: she heals, and she heals well.
Well she did before Issue 19... and it caused a rebuild. Here is her current build and the proposed build as she levels up. If someone (anyone) could twist it so that she is better at her art and a better team player... tell me. I'm a scrapper and building a defender is not my cup of tea. Any tips and pointers would be helpful as well.
Thus without further ado...
HELP!!
As always, cost is no object, nor is recipe selection. Take a chainsaw to the build if needed. I have the freespec and vetspecs to burn.
Here's the build.

Given that there is less than twenty topic in it and the last post in it was in August (and that is one post, the last post before that was June) I think it might be an experimental failure. I'd suggest putting the topics back in general discussion, since obviously they are not going to overwhelm the regular chatter at that rate.
