Descended
We have formed a coalition with Descended. Feel free to say hello on coalition chat!
They're also a Fist-logo group, although they went red/purple instead of black/yellow. :P

Where's Lobster?
Oh, he's still here alright, just on another of his walkabouts.
Maybe he'll be back someday, at random. Probably relatively soon.
He did just get a modded xbox though and is having lots of fun FINALLY playing a hacked English translation of Langrisser 2 (Warsong 2) with the Genesis emulator. So maybe after he finishes with that. ;)
Oh, and he also blogs entirely too often about pointless things.

DR-3 badge
Congrats, Team Evil! We earned the Benedict DR-3 turret plans tonight, which is awarded for earning 10 million prestige.
On a side note, our next rent payment is 199516, due 9/23. We'll be paying it two weeks late on 10/7, when the power shuts off, as usual.

Viridian badge hunt
Tomorrow (Saturday) at 3:30 pm eastern, Omicron Cypher and I will be going for the Infiltrator, Tank Buster, and Tracer badges, which are the three required to unlock Viridian. We'll get Infiltrator (Paragon Protectors) by farming one of Bray's Crey missions (~20 PPs per reset, assuming a full team), and the other two will probably be through street hunting in St. Martial.

I had a lot of fun on that badge hunt. And thanks for organizing, Bal. Last night was all about badges for me. I farmed some rep in Warburg with EM & a friend's account as well as doing the Justine Augustine TF (which was a BLAST!).
I'd love to have a badge night once or twice a month. I think that would be a lot of fun. I'd still like to give Ice Mistral another run soon.

Ice Mistral SF?
Okay, I'm getting a bit tired of pick-up groups and soloing. Who's up for Ice Mistral? The SF is levels 35-40 (for experience, 41+ will be auto-malefactored), and the Crystal Keeper badge is required for the Megalomaniac accolade.
I nominate next Friday at 8pm eastern, but I'm flexible in that regard. The wife will be out of town next weekend, so I'll be available just about anytime.
Anybody interested?

Holy shit, we're in the top 5 or so when you google "Ice Mistral SF". Fun stuff.
Private apartments
Since we have exactly 4 active Evil Geniuses (Omicron Cypher, Burning Bush, Voltaic Bot, and me) and 1 active Enforcer (Mie), it seems logical to give the 5 private apartments in the base to them. It also makes base editting permissions easy to assign. If/when we have enough prestige to upgrade the plot again, we'll have room for more personal space -- this will require approximately another 3 million prestige, though.
I've claimed the 2nd room, and OC claimed the last one. I put a big lateral file in the doorway to OC's room to mark it off, and mine is already decorated. Feel free to claim any of the empty rooms.
Here are four basic guidelines that will prevent a lot of headaches later: (In more blunt terms, how to not screw up other parts of the base.)
If any of you have questions about how to use the editor, feel free to ask.

Here are four basic guidelines that will prevent a lot of headaches later: (In more blunt terms, how to not screw up other parts of the base.)
- Please don't change the lighting or wall/ceiling/trim styles -- they apply to the entire room, not just your apartment. If you want more light in your room, add lights -- I recommend the Tech 2 lights, the torches, or the Shoji lamps. If you don't like the trim, you can put small items on the walls to force it to hide. Whoever gets the first room will almost definitely want to do this, as the ceiling trim was chosen for the storage area, not the apartment area.
- Please don't use the SG banners. Each banner that has something other than the TE logo can only be used once, or else it will revert all other banners of that type back to the TE logo. Basically, it's very easy to screw up the main atrium or the oversight room by using banners, and they don't really fit anyway.
- Please don't spend more than 30k prestige on your room -- I doubt that you'll use that much, since most decorative items only cost 100 prestige each, but we currently have about 120k in the bank, and it'd be good to split it evenly to start. For an idea on how much 30k will buy you, the furnishings in my room cost 5400 prestige (not including the pillars).
- Please don't add any functional items. If you think that the base needs more of some particular functional item, tell me, and I'll stick it somewhere in the public areas. Basically, anything under the "arcane" tab or to the right of it is decorative, anything to the left of the "arcane" tab is functional. Ironically, anything you can craft and add via "Add personal item" is also a functional item, so you can just ignore the whole crafting thing.
If any of you have questions about how to use the editor, feel free to ask.

I'd vote for: kill, mangle, destroy. Now...how to apply those to interior decorating...
Also: Woot now my alts have a place to camp out! If only they could log in/out directly into the base! -

I'm still waiting for your interior-decorator-impression of MDK. Or KMD in your case, I guess. :)
Hope to catch you in-game sometime, Lobster.

Civic Squad
Bray recently picked up the Civic Squad mission, which I'd also like to do with a large team. It's a level 44 mission (boostable to 46, of course), though, so I'm not sure how many of you have characters in that level range -- getting enough mentors for LK/Mal might be difficult. Any interest?

Invite the Center
Okay, Pal has the last two missions of Viridian's arc, and while I could (probably) solo them, it'd be much more fun to get a big team together. For those who aren't familiar with these, the first one consists of being ambushed by every single Council AV in the game (in sequence, not all at the same time). The second's supposed to be even more fun.
So, who's in? I'm free just about anytime this weekend, so I propose tomorrow at 8pm eastern. Since I'm sure this will be more fun with a big team, I'll plan to fill the group out with pick-ups once we've got the TE people on board.
Missions are at level 50, lower levels are welcome assuming we have the mentors for it.

Lego Star Wars II For which platform? =] PC, of course. I've never owned a console in my life, and until consoles can typeset LaTeX documents, I don't really have an excuse to own one. Besides, most of my favorite game genres tend to play rather poorly on consoles.... If you saw what my hacked xbox can do you might change your mind...it's actually worth $250 for a used xbox, new hard drive, and to pay modder to fix you up (or you can do it yourself and save $50)...Yes, I too have LSW2. My wife thinks it's cute and vowed to play it some day. We shall see. I've seen a hacked Xbox...my brother-in-law has one that I pulled two consecutive all-nighters finishing the original Halo and Crimson Skies. Yeah, they were fun, but I'm more of a strategy and RPG gamer -- strategy games on computers are miles ahead of consoles, and console RPGs tend to be more Japanese-style than American-style. I actually originally got it so I could play old SRPGS! Dark Wizard for the Sega CD, Warsong & Shining Force 1/2 for the genesis. Ogre Battle for the SNES, Tactics Ogre (PS1 or N64 I forget), and maybe I'll get around to getting a Saturn emu set up so I can play Shining Force 3.
As a bonus, someone did a japanese->english translation hack for Warsong 2 and I've just about finished playing through that.
I'm right there with you man - strat & rpgs are where I usually am, although less focus on RPGs these days they take way too long. I have a special place in my heart for console style SRPGs though. My list in the first paragraph has the best ones IMHO (never got that into FF Tactics).
PCs in general actually seemed pretty much miss the SRPG phenomenae (sp?), except for wierd exceptions like Warcraft 3 (sorta, heroes had like 5levels...) and Rise of Legends (same deal basically). I tend to go for the pure strategy or RPG over the hybrids -- I just enjoy both genres. SRPGs tend to fall into one of three categories: you're stuck micromanaging a huge number of customizable units, there are relatively few powerful customizable units that basically stomp over all the normal units, or the relatively few customizable units aren't sufficiently more powerful than regular units to be worth all the headaches of accumulating experience. SRPGs tend to mostly be strategy games with experience points and inventory grafted on -- they're fine as strategy games, but I think they kind of miss the point of the RPG genre.
SRPGs seem to be much more in the style of Square-Enix than Black Isle Studios and Bioware, and I'd take Fallout over FFVII any day. Descended Where's Lobster? Congrats to Droid Master! GRATS DM!

Hope to catch you in-game sometime, Lobster. Civic Squad Sign me up. Just say when. Well, the tricky part is going to be finding enough level 44-46 villains to make a big enough team for mentors and such. However, you're welcome to the one spot I can offer from Bray. :) Invite the Center Sounds good to me! Mission successful. Definitely one of the best missions in the game. Go Team Evil! I haven't had that much fun on the Villain side in a LONG while. Thanks to Pal and everyone else involved. And again, GO TEAM EVIL!
