Flipz

Hmm...I've only ever teleported out of the battle itself. I'm certain Nexusing is disabled during the earthquake--I tried it the first time it happened and it dodn't work. I also remember my death coming very shortly after a "I have closed this realm" announcement. Either way, from now on if I ever see the "closed Realm" announcement, I'm running for the nearest beach.

Damn it all. THAT's why I died last night--stupid Oryx sealed the Realm. Well, that's a bit of a jerk move...

"Righ', I'm thinkin' tha' Mistress Isabella ought ta take the Polybolos and Slice N Dice (since they're interconnected), and Master Arasmyth can set off tha final two rounds o' tha Hiyaaaaaa Hwacha and then move to tha onager. Master Arthur, when he awakes, can start off with tha Onager, and he'll retreat to the Northwest Tower when Arasmyth moves. Also, I'll take tha Halberd unless anyone else wants it, jus' in case."

Someone needs to sig this, or put it in the first post of the QM's lounge, or something. Maybe we need a topic for epic Heroica quotes or something.

I know, that's why Denning should never touch Mandalorians again. Traviss did it right. Denning didn't. Overall, Denning just can't write. Period. Maybe that's too harsh, but it's the truth. Unless it's necessary to read through a series that I actually like (the way it was with Legacy of the Force), I will never read one of his novels again.

OOC: I think OOC would be good, and then Xander or Count Knyghton could announce it to the Heroes IC. What do you think of the solution I proposed just before your post?

OOC: I was thinking Isabella could operate the Polybolos and Slice N Dice (remember, they're linked to the same crank) and Arasmyth could run the Hiyaaaaaa Hwacha until it's out of ammo, then move to the Onager.

1. I'm a very active and passionate player, I've followed the previous Mafia games here obsessively (I'm even reading archives of the finished games), I know the rules of mafia, I've played Mafia in the real world (the one where randomly playing cards determine roles, and the narrator has to improvise even more than normal, Mafia Scum Wiki calls this "meat world" mafia), I know what the Mafia Scum wiki is...shall I continue? 2. My favorite fairy tale...hmm...well, I grew up at Disneyland (no, not a typo, long story), so all my fairy tales are basically Disney movies. Of those classic Disney films, my three favorites (tied) were Aladdin, Peter Pan, and Hercules, with Mulan close behind. I loved Peter Pan because he was a boy who lived in a magical world and never had to grow up and lose his imagination. Aladdin, on the other hand, was an outcast who became a prince, a theme that resonated with my childhood experiences. Hercules as well, though that one was more about Hades and his goofball minions than anything. Mulan I liked because a.) it was PRETTY, b.) Mushu, and c.) once again, Mulan was someone "different", but her uniqueness is what saved the day. And yes, I did think in a (slightly) simpler version of those terms when I was little; I was a very observant kid.

Knight, I want a Paladin eventually after all. I'll grab the stuff, but Ima have to ragequit for a day or so after that...

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Lag-killed. NOTHING I could do. Nexusing would not work. SO pissed. EDIT: Also, Quest 17.

I'm by no means an expert on trains (especially LEGO trains and the unique logistics involved), but I remember reading an article in a (non-LEGO) train magazine many years back that involved a pair of (automatic!) elevators. One was a relatively short straight section, used mostly for engines and one or two passenger cars, while the other was a very large, curved elevator (a full 90-degree curve) used for freight trains. It should be mentioned that the elevators were "backstage" and connected to the backstage staging switchyard, but what made the elevators so ingenious was the automatic part: there was a simple push buttons at the "disconnected" end of the elevator on each level; when a button was clicked by a train bumping it, the power would be cut to the track, the elevator would rise or lower, and the power would be turned back on, allowing the train to continue running as if nothing had changed. (There were small buttons facing vertically at the top and bottom of the elevator, carefully aligned so as to stop the elevator and restore power precisely at the right time so the train would continue without derailing.) It would be a lot of work, but with some Mindstorms, Power Functions and perhaps even some pneumatics, I'm certain it could be done, and I'd DEFINITELY like to see it in LEGO form.

"I think we got ev'rything set up, now all we can do is ta wait for tha Elves ta get here. We've split the torches among various Heroes, we've put the nets by the only thing that could logically launch them--the onager, we placed the bear traps at the time we made them (OOC: since K-nut didn't object at that time, two at the base of the West wall, one at the island side of the bridge launcher, and one in the middle of the island), and likewise with the spiked barricades (OOC: North wall, I believe, unless Posades says we should put them elsewhere). Master Delvergrow stated he built the skeleton traps on the Westmost bank of the river, and as a final preparation I'll tie a rope off the Northwest tower to the top of the West wall to reduce transit time. I think we've done all we can, and now is the time to fight!" (OOC: The spike vine goes from the ground to the Northwest tower, unless it would take more than one turn to climb, in which case it can stay on the West wall. The rope between NW tower and West wall stays either way.)

40 Fame until I reach 150! At that point, I probably will suicide and play Knight. I'm going to have to set up a mule for each and every class, aren't I? Raaaaaage at miniscule inventories.

I'd be very pleased to find each of these in a $10 set just so I don't have to bother with the spinners and can actually get REAL bricks with them. That said, if the price for a "set" version was more than $10, then I'd just get the spinners.

You know the nice thing about Warrior? except for the helmet, all the gear transfers to Knight or Paladin. I think I'll stay Warrior until I can get a couple of the higher Fame awards, and then I'll drop my epic armor and sword (thanks Hornblower and B&P!) in the Vault, stick the epic helmet (thanks B&P!) on my mule, and suicide run Oryx or something. Then, when I pick up Knight, I'll already have the best gear. BTW, how do you guys avoid getting shotgunned? I get shotgunned all the time, I just manage to Nexus out last second.

OK, I made my first mule, FreeFlipz. I'd like him in the guild as a mule for everyone else once I unlock Paladin and Necromancer, and then I'm going to just drop equipment on him for anyone to use as needed. EDIT: Note that he has no staff or spell for now, they're in his Vault. Hmm...suggestion for the developers, Guilds should have a community vault as well as each member's personal one(s).

Yeah, I'd like to avoid ninja loot, so once I get one or two mules, I'll try and get them in. Man, I am loving the dragon scale armor. Keeps me alive quite a while, I can run right up to those dragon things and other stuff and sword it to death without dying. EDIT: If anyone finds a good helmet for Warriors, hang onto it for me, mine is OK but could be much better.

At the initial splash screen, go to "servers". We usually play on EUNorth2.

Well, looks like I can't ignore LotR anymore... LEGO, y u make all the sets so expensive this year? I'll have to pick up Gandalf Arrives as soon as it releases, Moria will have to wait, unfortunately. I wish there was a hi-res of the orc forge, that's the real "army-builder" set for me (uruks aren't as helpful for me as actual orcs).

*Insert "bad luck with women" joke here*

Blokdoctor is you? Have you invited all your mules to the Guild? (That way if they die and have any Fame at all it goes to the Guild.) I'm going to set up my primary mule when I get back from class, and maybe a specific one for rings. I think if I really start going at it with mules, I'll organize them by equipment type, not class. EDIT: 500 xp to go! EDIT 2: Made 20! EDIT 3: Aaaand solo'd a spider den. Took FOREVER, but was worth it. 4 Fame just from that den!

As long as you don't get mad when we use the incorrect-gendered pronouns when referring to you.

IRL, I'm probably closest to Prince Charming--I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I can't wait to play!

Count Knyghton moves noticeably away from William, so as to better avoid the imminent Smiting.

well, I'm Level 19 now, with just 1400 xp to go. I've helped to kill 3 Ent Ancients now, so I'm less scared of them, on the other hand everything else still terrifies me. I must say, I'm getting a LOT better at Nexusing out now! Also, I REALLY wish I could buy Realm Gold (for various reasons, I cannot). Just two or three Vault chests would solve a TON of problems for me.
