I'm assuming you mean @nethod?

You have all that ahead of you if you're so inclined when you're through everything else -- you must be coming up on that,

Nice one! (I do have them but check sig, I just write stories and you get stuff from testing, and no, not 500 vet yet.)

No AE badges = no farming I'm assuming?

Oh all the old gods forbid that anything should be suggested, or changed, even if for the better!

GOLD! So good. Brought to you by the Cole Administration. (AND the Resistance, oddly enough)

I used some of that in my long AE Story, Dark Deeds/Darker Deeds/Darkest Before Dawn.

Faultline told me this exact thing. It's a leftover from the old SG Raid mechanics.

Headcanon of a sort. The destruction of Galaxy City caused a warp/fracture in spacetime, whether due to the effects of the meteors combined with Shivan energy and mass superhuman power use, who knows? So a new hero/villain comes through the Galaxy City tutorial, fights alongside Sister Psyche and others, saves or kills Blue Spectrum and walks out the other side...to find that Sister Psyche is already dead and others, possibly some they met battling a giant Shivan, decided to kill Blue Spectrum rather than save him, or vice versa. Either way time is out of joint! And that poor Blue Spectrum guy is in an eternal loop of hell!

Yeah, but where are the ones that actually fix the City? Supers can't punch poverty. And when they're off fighting Doctor Vasectomy who puts out the fires apart from that one brave Fire Marshal?

Yeaj, where the hell is FEMA now that I think of it?

Foldspace +Repulsion Field! What's not to love?

I've had various notions on this, rethought things and come at it from different angles, but the one I'm currently favoring, and if the devs were to do a version of this I'd be well pleased, is that we HAVE moved on but it's not 2021. If they were to advance things just enough, 2 or 3 years, so that 2012 events are still relatively "fresh", perhaps a time fracture event continues to envelope the final stages of the Galaxy City evacuation or something, for instance. Setting it a few years forward but not to our now would allow the devs to plan out the net few years and effectively always be ahead of the game, so to speak.

Fear me, Puny Immortal!

BUMP! Well? Firestations? Maybe a funeral home? A crematorium? Because no one wants to go to Mot Cemetery!

My head canon on CoX is informed by as much close reading of the game's narrative "now" while trying to allow for rough spots left over from unfinished/half assed retcons. These rough spots can be explained mostly, though, as I posted in another thread, some of it does need to be fixed - so if there's a Dev position of continuity editor going (and as an actual editor IRL I look for these things) I'm volunteering :). Couple that with the two novels and the run of comic books and you have the totality of what is. The novels and comics are not secondary, they are complementary. The Lore AMAs are a fascinating read - and I'd advise people to do so - but at the end of the day they're still only apocrypha and not canon. That statement may annoy some people but I stand by it. What you intended to do or meant to do or what was really going on, all these things are interesting but not concrete or carved in stone when the ones saying it are very definitely no longer the authorial voices of the narrative. With the best will in the world these are deleted scenes for a movie. The two novels IMO are absolutely canon, as per my statement above, with the reinforcement that neither of them contradicts anything in the game whatsoever. Easy to do when one is set in the early part of the 20th century and the other in 1986. The comics have their issues (no pun intended). The intro comic and the first run with War Witch, Apex and Horus are solid and work. After that it is a bit hit and miss. The introduction of Prometheus is awful. The matter of the BP and Lughebhu are not. the Praetorian 3 issue has literally been retconned out of existence by the arrival of Going Rogue, and even when it wasn't it didn't make any sense as to where it fit in. Read them, enjoy them, I'd treat them as Elseworlds. And the last few? They're fine.* *Note to self: Must go back and do a full read and sort out where stuff actually fits and where it should be thrown in a dumpster.

Nope. The first half of that Nuclear option is very much head canon. Here's my head canon on that head canon, 🙂 The second half of that nuclear option seems eminently plausible.

Ghostly War Witch is available only as a contact as far as I can see, and not as an ally/boss/whatever. So a ghostly version of her in that section + a live version! On that note I had to make a copy of Apex for an AE arc (doable but he really should be in there too). The third in the comic book team was Horus, but he was never in game and would need design work as he has unique costume pieces, not to mention he's a Peacebringer, so an adjunct to that is Kheldians are missing from the AE, along with their power sets. Yes, you can have individual forms but not like we play them. Statesman. Bear with me. THIS version and THIS version are not in the game yet appear to be images of game models.

Told ya, I'm working on that! Sheesh.

Right. I've finally finished my trilogy of Resistance AEs (levels 19-24), to pair with a similar set of Loyalist AEs. They are all designed to fit into the timeline, whether any of you agree or not is another thing entirely. As usual with my Lore referencing AEs I try to write them with this in mind: Could they be arcs that a player might have missed and then found in Ouro? Details in the signature. Enjoy.

The third in a trilogy of pre War SFMA Praetorian AEs based around the Resistance. Praetoria's initial attack on Primal Earth has been repelled and the Resistance awaits the arrival of their new allies, but allies can appear from unexpected places. Belladonna Vetrano needs you to handle something vital. (Levels 20-24)

I don't know about this TF not being canonical anymore. It's different enough that it could be earlier in Clamor's career as a villain. Yes, it WAS removed. That doesn't prove anything.

Snag is you can only have one at a time! I had the tiny Mek Man and the MVAS, but one cancels the other.

Did you buy a Vanity pet as well to up the numbers? My Robots MM has an MVAS that trails around after them, little jet boots and all!

I'm thinking of doing an AE around this eventually. Who knows when.
