I mean, as I recall, Leandro was the one who originally called it an exploit. However, Leandro isn't a member of the Homecoming Team, but rather a consultant. I can't even remember the last time I saw him port or react to anything on this forum. The last official response regarding the base entry command was also pruned along with the entire thread it was in. It leaves me wondering what the final verdict is on the command, and even if the Team themselves have decided.

"Resistance Cell registry." . . . sorry. I just find that amusing. But, yeah, the cells -do- have something akin to that in the lore already. I think it's called The Static? You make use of it a few times in early Resistance story arcs. Seems the appropriate justification for establishing multiple Resistance cell networks.

Oh, I think you got a few takers. Just not any givers. As in: We took the palette, tried to work it, and weren't pleased with the results, so we didn't give our screenshots any public visibility.

A "Pistol" Pool is something I could certainly get behind. Nothing flashy. Just straight to the point. Nice idea @Crashen.

. . . a thought occurs. What if Facepalm added Rep? I certainly can't speak for everyone, but I can see that making it a less enticing prospect for bullying.

An indirect solution to promoting other Pool Powers: Pool-Specific Invention Sets! Give us something special to slot in to Powers that are underused which will encourage players to examine those Powers. Give Teleport an IO Set which can be used to unlock the Superior Teleport idea expressed in the other threads. Give us ANYTHING to slot in to Pacify and Misdirection. For consideration, anyway.

You mean a "last seen online" column? Yes, that would be quite handy!

Oh god . . . uh . . . ok, I'm going to need to ask for people's help on this one. I figure if a few of us split the load and each search for threads on a specific Pool, it might be manageable. I'll compile the Teleport Pool Threads. Who wants the dubious honour of collecting the Hasten/Super Speed Threads? Oh man, oh geez, oh I-don't-know-Rick! What am I getting myself in to here?

You're welcome. You may also want to check out the OOC and RP Global Channels; most of the members are dedicated to playing on Everlasting. Lots of Redsiders amoung us too.

This tends to largely be a client-side hardware performance issue. Sometimes reducing your graphics settings can improve load times, but largely it relates to your RAM and GPU.

So the Devouring Earth Bedrock death animation as a Teleport animation? It wouldn't be the first on my new animations for Teleport list . . . but yeah, ok! More options is good options!

One other edge case for Teleport Foe: Roleplay. One other-other edge case: Teleporting a Foe in to a Store or City Hall (potentially griefing. Don't grief).

Emmy . . . I'm a nudist. -NO- pants.

Kallisti Wharf optimization before content, please! But if they've got Henchpet customization waiting in the wings . . . well, damn. That would be absolutely huge.

God . . . we're living the Cyberpunk 2020 life, but without any -cyberware!-

Yeah. Never seen someone swear in so much German before.

Mayhaps give it a whirl on the Beta Shard(s)? Give yourself a level boost to 20 or 30-ish, and fiddle around a bit?

These days I try to treat my roleplay like I treat my sex: Communicate. Establish the scene. Confirm informed consent. Remain open to changes that happen in the heat of the moment. Make an effort to debrief/aftercare. Honestly . . . I find there's a lot of overlap in the two. So, if the case of killing off a character as part of a dramatic reveal, I do try to establish first if the other players I'm engaging in the narrative with are comfortable with surprises, and just how far their comfort extends. I do this with frank and direct conversation. I also try to strike up meaningful conversations on what other players' expectations are in regard to theme and tone, which can vary WILDLY in this setting. While the scene is taking place, I do try to remind other players to let me know if anything is ever uncomfortable or too graphic, and let them know that we can "hand wave" or "fade to black" if necessary. And - . . . oh. I just thought of a pet peeve. Asking for feedback after a scene and getting a "it was fine" reply. DAMNIT! I want criticisms! I want to improve! *flails tentacles*

One final question: How strict is the "250 or fewer words" rule? Is someone with 275 words going to want to get in there and find a way to parse down to avoid being disqualified?

Ok . . . so, there seems to be a common thread revealing itself in regard to Masterminds . . . Might I encourage folks who didn't "get" Masterminds to give one more particular style a try? Traps. Specifically; get up to level 20 and get yourself Poison Trap. Dive in to battle head first and drop that sucker at the feet of your enemies, then follow it up with an Acid Mortar. Have your Henchpets in Bodyguard mode so they suck up the damage you're about to suffer. Then party down with anything and everything at your disposal. See if that does it for you?

Somehow I think @MunkiLord would be okay with that.

My country uses a different system for rating films' appropriateness, but I'm guessing the PG-13 you describe is based on the u.s. model? Would this be accurate? "A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture, as some material might not be suited for them. A PG-13 motion picture may go beyond the PG rating in theme, violence, nudity, sensuality, language, adult activities or other elements, but does not reach the restricted R category. The theme of the motion picture by itself will not result in a rating greater than PG-13, although depictions of activities related to a mature theme may result in a restricted rating for the motion picture. Any drug use will initially require at least a PG-13 rating. More than brief nudity will require at least a PG-13 rating, but such nudity in a PG-13 rated motion picture generally will not be sexually oriented. There may be depictions of violence in a PG-13 movie, but generally not both realistic and extreme or persistent violence. A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context. The Rating Board nevertheless may rate such a motion picture PG-13 if, based on a special vote by a two-thirds majority, the Raters feel that most American parents would believe that a PG-13 rating is appropriate because of the context or manner in which the words are used or because the use of those words in the motion picture is inconspicuous." sourced from: https://www.marshallcinema.com/mpaa
