I am going with Deft Funk - Symphonic / Fire Dominator. Let's see if I can get him to 50 on this roll.

I will be out this weekend, so no Sutter At The Beach for me this time...

Yeah, good luck, man! Sounds important, so wishing you well! Punchy Clown looks faboulous! We will find some other action for him some day for sure!

I am gonna roll with Dr Doomsday, Energy Blast / Time Corruptor. Gonna blow them Skyraiders out of the air! Also: thanks @Midnyte for the great shots again!

Hello everybody, I have been busy making more toons. And when I have not been busy making new toons, I have been busy making variations on costumes for toons I already have. And I have also been playing a little bit, when I have not been busy making new toons or remaking old ones. And I have also seen a lot of fantatsic other toons across the different servers I am busy on. Many of them here in these circles, coincidentally. But I digress. What I really wanted to say is this: I have come up with a couple of ideas for new themes I want to pitch here... "In love with a Preacher(wo)man" Clergy-themed costumes, e.g. Priests, Nuns, Buddhist or Zen-Monks, whatever works for you in terms of religiously inspiring or related stuff. We may run it in 2 versions as well, like using light outfits and "positive" powersets for the "holy" side, and then the dark and "unholy" version the other time... "It's raining Cats and Dogs" Costume needs to have wolf/cat/feral pieces and theme, powersets should be the usual suspects: claws, savage, beasts MM, maybe spines or staff. And something ranged that I am not sure about...? "A Night at The Arcade" Your favorite, iconic video game character from any other pc/console/arcade game, from of your childhood or other game you play today. Actually not quite sure if we may have had that one already...? "E=mc²" Take a hsitoric scientist and their discovery as a theme for a toon (costume and powers). E.g. Albert Einstein - Gravity / Time Controller. Or a Cyborg with Stephen Hawkings head/brain-in-a-jar. You get the idea... "Dias De La Muerta" This may stretch the Costume Creator here a bit, but I just like the very special look of this festival. Maybe give it a try? "Sentinels of the Galaxy" All-Sentinel Team. Did an ITF like that, and it was amazingly steamrolling! Could give it some kind of "Guardians-Inspired" look to go with it 😉 I think since the revamp Sentinels have become a much more feasible AT. "Drain it like a Pro!" One power needs to be electric, ideally specced to drain enemy endurance. Electric-themed costumes to go with it? Can do really nice things here... "World Domination" I don't think we have ever tried an All-Domiator team yet, have we? Make them look like one of the evil genius masterminds (not the AT) from the movies... "Black-Red-Gold" 3rd of October is National Holliday here in Germany. Discussed that at length 😄 (PSA: Not to be mistaken with "World Domination" above...😉) That being said, and this is kind of a touchy issue for germans for historic reasons, but in my mind nothing says EVIL better then Black-White-Red colored costumes. Most of my toons villain-side end up with such a colorscheme at some point in time. And many of the red-side versions of my blue-side toons usually are just that: change to those colors, maybe a different face and a detail here or there... voila! Evil! So maybe that would be a thing for World Domination above. And here is another one, this may be tricky: "It's Water, but it's not!" All-Waterblast Team. Water is a fantastically versatile set when it comes to power customization! So make it look like it's not (plain) water. Kind of what @FrauleinMental did with Coffee Ring, or my Magmatronic Man. Declare your Choice, every one shall be different! If I sit here any longer I would probably come up with other crazy ideas, but I leave it for now and get back to trying out new toons instead. Looking forward to hear your takes on these!

Great piece of forensic evidence, @Midnyte! 👍 I think I may have also taken a shot or two from our 2nd run. Will check when I get home. EDIT: I actually only took 1 shot, and that wasn't very intersting... so skipping it.

Looking forward to the pics from last saturday. Sorry I couldn't make it. This week looks better, so I intend to be there with Cyclonica (Storm Blast/Kinetics Corruptor).

I hope its on leisure, not work!

I will roll with Gin Toxic (Poison / Psi Defender) then. Allthough I have to admit, Gin Tonic is a treat not neccessarily limited to summer for me 😇 But he got ice! Not sure I will be able to make it, though, as we have friends over at our house for the day, and can't say yet when they are planning to leave again...

What exactly is meant by "Summer Treat", btw? I am a bit at a loss to interpret that, need a few examples maybe?

I am enjoying it nicely so far. But it has needed a bit of getting used to how to operate Fold Space. I kinda was expecting that you just target a mob and port them to your location, but it is actually a PBAoE effect, thus a bit more tricky from the positioning. I was totally confused at the beginning when I started to try it out 🙂 Now I got a bit better grip on it, it is a really nice change of pace to my countless other Controller stereotypes. And makes the massive lockdowns and debuffs from Rad and Earth even more lethal. Just stay close to the Tank 😎

Everything about this thread makes me smile! 🙂

Dear Sir: I have been requested by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company to contact you for assistance in resolving a matter. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company has recently concluded a large number of contracts for oil exploration in the sub-Sahara region. The contracts have immediately produced moneys equaling US$40,000,000. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company is desirous of oil exploration in other parts of the world, however, because of certain regulations of the Nigerian Government, it is unable to move these funds to another region. You assistance is requested as a non-Nigerian citizen to assist the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, and also the Central Bank of Nigeria, in moving these funds out of Nigeria. If the funds can be transferred to your name, in your United States account, then you can forward the funds as directed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. In exchange for your accommodating services, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company would agree to allow you to retain 10%, or US$4 million of this amount. However, to be a legitimate transferee of these moneys according to Nigerian law, you must presently be a depositor of at least US$100,000 in a Nigerian bank which is regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria. If it will be possible for you to assist us, we would be most grateful. We suggest that you meet with us in person in Lagos, and that during your visit I introduce you to the representatives of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, as well as with certain officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Please call me at your earliest convenience at 18-467-4975. Time is of the essence in this matter; very quickly the Nigerian Government will realize that the Central Bank is maintaining this amount on deposit, and attempt to levy certain depository taxes on it. Yours truly, Prince Alyusi Islassis

I seem to remember that these phase shift powers deactivate any other powers that can affect teammates or enemies outside of the bubble? Only self-affecting powers can be used (as long as you stay alone inside the bubble, of course).

Ah, too late for my Miami Vice themed Sentinel then 😎 But no issue, I roll with Sgt. Debbie Callahan, AR/Devices Blaster of Police Academy fame!

This is what got me hooked when I stumbled into the Market forum accidentally. Been doing this for the last 2...2,5 years yielded me something around.... checks his notes... 30 Billion or so in cash money. Around 2/3 of which got turned into higher end builds for my ever growing stable of 50ies, which then contribute their own slow income from the occasional gametime not spent on new toons. It is all for the greater good, making money and spending it, to keep the wheels turning! I still owe Yomo his due share for taking the effort of explaining. If only he still would be interested in earning more money... 😉 Found that winning costume contests was not a viable nor sustainable source of income. Which is a pure shame...

Ok, you asked for it! This is an eternal Meme here in Germany: That him singing "Looking for Freedom" to the people from The East had a vital part in taking down the Berlin Wall in 1987! He was hugely popular at that time in Germany (both parts), ruling the charts with his songs for weeks. Although nobody of the young people actually liked his music, as it all was so incredibly cheesy (and looking at the above, you know what I am talking about, right?)! You gotta give it to him, tho! He is such an absolute Dude when it comes to this! The questions shown are in german only, but you get what it's about from just listening to his answers. And if that isn't a hilarious story, I don't know what is!!! Enjoy! EDIT: And just for reference: here is what this is all about:

I think this is a good time for Barbarella, my Peacebringer from the 41st Century. I am happy to lead the ⬛🟥🟨 Theme for October. Obviously. We did The Oktoberfest theme last year, so this is a nice change of pace as well I think. Our national holiday is in commemoration the fall of the Berlin Wall and Reunification of the 2 german states. Which may also give you some ideas for costumes (David Hasselhoff anybody? 😉) ...

Was busy on a long Synapse myself, figured you would all be gone hunting already anyway... Catch ya next time again!

If there is a TT today, I may drop in a little bit later probably. But maybe its next week anyway?

I was actually thinking of building a Bio around it, as I find it kinda very clever myself 😄 I built this toon about 4 years ago and it was a great opportunity to dig it out again. And I have to say I am having a total blast(!) with Energy right now! Was on a team with a 2nd FF/NRG Defender, a Storm2 Defender and another NRG Blaster running Posi1 yesterday! And that was a total steamroll if I ever have seen one!!! It may have been advantageous for the team spirit that we didn't have a Tank on the team, actually. But we for sure also weren't missing one. 😇 Foes flying around in every direction all the time... We absolutely need to have that as a Theme some day!

Let me see what to do about this... I missed that single AT part. EDIT: I have found another toon that fits well here. Prepare to meet Faraday Automaton, Force Fields / Energy Blast Defender. ... he may be a bit of a Pinball Wizard, so expect some minor heteronomous opponent repositioning every once in a while 🙂

Hi @TrixieKixx, sign me up for Synapse with Guild Navigator, Time/Grav Controller (...or maybe Grav/Time. Don't remember, but probably doesn't matter anyways 😇)

The one with the -t- (which I believe is the original spelling in english?) was already taken, of course. So I went with the closest phonetic variant...😇 That being said, I may have to drop out again this week due to some family affair on saturday. @Jaxman100, hope you can make it again, there should be a safe spot for you this time 👍 I probably will be on later on saturday and see who's still around. Would still love to run TinPex with this toon.

I will bring Rumpelstilskin to the party next week, Ill/Dark Controller.
