Ok, here we go Its a villain themed arc, so if the story doesn't make sense since you are a pansy hero - tough

I'm not sure how the last mission will scale with a large team, as I didn't have a chance to test it as such.

Enjoy everyone =D

I've been using ZoneAlarm Pro for some time, and it seems to have served it's purpose, but some of it's issues are getting tiresome, and when I
installed a newer version on a second computer it caused massive lag and instability. So I'm looking for something better.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Today's session of Mayhem 201 was a mixed success, with several Threat Levels gained by the Ayanami sisters and more by Lucienne and Madeline. The two
couples were accompanied by Special Guest Tutor Erik Nos, an experienced warrior, who was quite pleased with their potential and rather disappointed that the
Rikti enemies were only simulations.

Another session is in the planning stages, interested students please post your schedules here so we can coordinate.

When I try to browse the forums I just get a blank page, however the list of all forums is working fine and I can use the last post link in the overall list to
get to a post. This is more than slightly annoying.

Just saw this tonight. Ok. NOW I'm ready for the summer movie season ROIT! ^_^



Hot DAMN!!� I loved the first one, and looks like they are properly upping the ante!

Civilian to Costume transformation!

To be brutally honest, this is a set of Levelling/chaos maps.

Mission one is a copy of Terr's infamous "BP World:" Graveyard Map, LOTS of BP

Mission two is an outdoor city map Chock Full of high-level 5th Column.

Both maps are set up on the 45+ paradigm. So, a "bare" lowbie is up against the Purple patch and gets mad xps/tix/inf if there's a 50 in the
team.

These may be difficult or Just plain easy depending on build and difficulty solo. I was fortunate enough to get an 8-man team runthrough after publishing it.
The major complaints, other than common "Story? What Story?" were mainly about the length of the maps.

I'm open for suggestions for "Case Files" to expand on for the "frame" story.

Existing casefiles include "Terrence Knight's Wanderings" and "Place Kicker's Memoirs."

Some of you know this already -- my dad has suffered from Parkinson's with dementia for about ten years now. It's been several years since he's reliably recognized me, a couple years since he could move under his own power, and about six months since he became bed-bound.

In the last few weeks, he's been intermittently refusing food and water, and it's finally taken its toll -- he's reached a point where his organs are likely to shut down in a few days if nothing is done. The only measures that can be taken at this point, though, are explicitly forbidden by the terms of his living will. His doctor has told my mom to not take him to the hospital, as it would only prolong the inevitable. Plus doing so would break the agreement she has with the hospice agency which has taken on a fair chunk of the cost of his care and which provides a lot of services for that care. The agency has, by the way, indicated that it will provide narcotic patches that will make sure that he is not suffering during these last hours -- but he also appears to have suffered a small stroke that has wiped out any vestiges of personality which had retained up to this point; I'm not entirely sure he's actually "in there" any more.

Even so, it was me my mother turned to me in order to "help" her decide whether to send him to the hospital or not.

Weighing everything I've cited above plus a few things that are private to the family, I had to counsel her not to.

So. I am right now sitting at home, hoping my father does not die before Peggy and I can get down there tomorrow, feeling a welter of emotions including but not limited to a certain anger that I was the one essentially forced to make the decision to let my father die (for all my mother claimed to be asking my advice, she was really asking me to take the decision out of her hands). And feeling a need to spill this out somewhere. And lacking a blog proper, this is my most prominent forum (pun not intended).

It's not going to be a good weekend, no matter what happens.

No, really.

Makes me wonder what would happen if they played around in an online world with more persistent consequences. Like say, EVE Online.
