Bananiac

Thanks for the very EU-friendly scheduling, Trauma! I absolutely need to play more redside and definitely will put this on my schedule! That being said, I will keep watching this space, as I won't be there next weekend...

🤪🤪🤪

Oha! I actually hadn't checked! Now that would be a darn shame having missed out on those 80 Merits! 😳

Thanks @Midnyte for the Photo Ops, you got great ones. And for entertaining my Bananiplant, it sometimes can get restless. 😄 And congratulations of course for dinging 50 with Embers, that feels like a special moment if this happens when on the team 🏆 And before we dig into my regular "Themes and Teams" Column, I would like to make an amendment to your post upstairs, as I think we can now rightfully welcome the newest member to this elite little group: .... and this is where I realize that I have the in-game global, but not the Forum name of Burnt Umber 😳 Anyway, guys please get that into the logs next week, so it gets included in the line-ups. For now we just go with EDIT: Thank you for identifying yourself! @Vigilant Vergil - Commenticia (Illusion/Force Fields Controller) And welcome to our little chitchat as well. But now, here we go for this weeks edition of the "Fly-By-Lie-By-Looting" Theme Team Recap: The Bug brung it! It's good to have a Tank on these teams that only goes to faceplant when he feels like it! The Shadow Shards travel itinerary is not for the faint of heart! Easy to get lost, and not easy to get around when those lazy Team Transporter pilots just refuse to drop you off somewhere else but a door! Talking about doors... I keep smashing them, and they keep staring back empty at me! Sometimes I am more than a little worried about this teams obsession with them... I totally missed the funny part about Velociraptors, but hey: You don't watch the chat for a minute, and next time you look it has turned completely sideways to some new absurd topic! 😅 Had to jump seat at the end again, but at least this time I was not leaving unfinished business! Family was staring me down by then, but I took this one FOR THE TEAM! 💪 A few more shots here, but Midnyte really got that part covered perfectly... The Brung It Part: Lazy TT Pilots, hovering around for an extended smoke and just burning fuel, while the Team was at full attention! Not easy getting a Pepsi in The Shadow Shard A Hero doing a Hero's Work Things to not be concerned about(?): Rounding this up with another Bonus Pic, hope you like it: I wish you a splendid week and a Good Hunt next saturday. Will be going on vacation to Austria on friday for a week, so this time I really have to pass (which is a shame because I have this beautiful Mastermind Tecknomancer, a Demons/Traps that would be just so perfect for Penny!)

Just a Heads Up, looks like thanks to a strong vaccine reaction from last week I am gonna stay home today. Which means in turn that I am going to be there for the Theme Team. Looking forward to see all you pests hovering around in the Shadow shard! 😉

Hello my friends, this time really just a short one. Don't have a lot of special moments for my recap really, and this still somehow feels incomplete because I had to leave early. But my family was giving me hell because we were about to leave for dinner that I promised a while ago 🙂 So without much further ado here, shooting off a few more pointy observations from the hereby to be known as "Blasts from Futures Past"-Theme Team: We may have found a new Regular, if we may count 2 successive visits to our little errands, On Time, and In Theme! It was nice to have you on board, and here's to hope to see you again, Nox Atrissima / Horrere! (I remember that I checked for your Global, but didn't capture it and now can't recall it...😌 Hope you find this shout out!) I suspect one reason why we were running later than I anticipated is because certain people were continuously trying to kill Clockwork Dynamo and those little Copter pets that were all around for obvious reasons... Force of habit, I guess... I didn't get all of the conversations, but one time I looked somebody was talking about rubbing Bourbon on their arms... Explain yourself!!! Sentinels Inherent: Indiscriminently hit Buttons - Indiscriminently hit more Buttons - When shiny ring appears, hit THAT button! More or less good things happen... It's kinda simple really (and personally, I can only say it suits MY playstyle perfectly. But the keen observer may have noticed that already 😉 ) EDIT: See, I forgot an important point: After you hit that colorful button, you need to go back to hitting buttons indiscriminently. Sooo...., not that simple after all, I must say! I loved the line-up, folks! Each one looked really cool, and given the obvious choices in the CC, everybody found a way to make their look special! This is soo much fun!! And I got to dust off another of my creations that I always wanted to play more seriously, but never got down to! Theme Team be praised! Nice work on the Bios again as well 👍 Some more impressions that I want to add: And finally, although Trixie just did a perfect set of Bonus Pics already, here is one that I found for us: Take care, folks! The Shadow Shard awaits!

Damn, so sad I missed it. Next month looking good so far, however.

Great pics, thank you @FrauleinMental & @Midnyte! Man, I am really sorry I missed that last part. This has become one of my favorite Strikeforce showdowns. At least from the pictures it looks like I did my part to bring Duray down. 😁 Thinking about this, I could have left my radiation aura on auto ... @TrixieKixx, I will also be (very!) doubtfull for next week 😞 Just in case I would be able to make it, sign me up with BZZZZnaniac, the incomparable Janitor-turned-Bio-Radiated-Bananafly-powered Superhero! (AT is Controller, for the record) Edit: Plant/Rad Controller, to be specific. And saturday actually appears to be looking good so far.

Looks like I am not going to make it today. Sorry to miss it, had a lot of fun last time. But got family business and wont be able to play tonite. 😞 Have fun, and I hope to be there next time!

Hi Folks, busy week again, so this is coming late. But as I kinda like getting laughs and praises for doing it now, I won't let this stop me! See what you did there? 😲 So here we go again, another edition of Bananiacs Beautiful Broadcasts on what I am hereby calling "The Art of Antiquity"-Theme Team: Midnyte, you really killed it already with your own recap! Thanks again! Great job! I would like to add a few more minor things: IT WASN'T MY FAULT! AND I GOT THE EVIDENCE, TRIXIE! 😜 Your Honor, I would like to present sample #1! I am not sure if the Warwalkers appreciated the pediatric effect of the Spirit Sharks enough... I know - even though I still have a hard time to believe - that there is a badge for smashing doors. Watching Jaxx for a while, I was begining to suspect there is one for defeating Oil Slicks as well! Isn't it funny that every time we have done this TF now with a small Theme Team, that we actually get random pickups that perfectly fit in with the theme? Sample #1 Okay, now we got that out of the way, here are some more impressions: Starting up with a gorgeous and amazingly antique line-up: Memorize!!! From the 2nd run, a very fun, no theme Penny Yin. Hard to discern anybody underneath all those glowy buffy things, though. 😄 Working on Doors Badge. Is this really a thing?!? Bonus Pic: Salve, Amici! 😉

I intend to be there this week again. Planning to bring one of my lower level Shield tanks. I hope I can make it on time, though. Just a Heads Up, I am scheduled for a Silver Mantis an hour before on Indom with my regular team. But this should be doable in 1h I guess...

@TrixieKixx for next week I'd like to register my Rad / Rad Sentinel Curie Automaton, a mechanical embodiement of Madame Curie. Absolutely love Steampunk as a theme. I have built a whole team of Automata in that frame, and had a terrible time deciding on which one to bring forward 🙂

Hey, I feel called out! Thank you @Midnyte for making sure we never forget the heroic sacrifices that were made! I felt obliged to make a point: That having your Alpha slotted (or Beta, or Gamma, or whatever... ) is no reason to not faceplant good in this Taskforce! 😎😁

Bananiac sad 😔

Well, to be honest, I HAD my Alpha slotted when we did this. And in totally selfless acts of solidarity I was faceplanting at least as much as you were! 😇 So I am determined to go back and set a few things right! Are you with me, @TygerDarkstorm?✊😆

Absolutely did!😁

Sounds like a plan! 👍

Dear Theme Team and Friends, after missing out on my recap from the Def/Cor Double-Header the week before, I have a few findings to share with you again this week. Here we go with what I have - most deftly, as usual - named the "Cute Claws of Fury" run: - Cats are apparently more popular than dogs in this neck of teh woods. Or just easier to costumate 🙂 - For all the massive clawy meelee we had going on, I was glad to see some vines and spores in between here and there - Don't remember what was the setting, +0... +1...? We basically ripped and shredded our way through the corridors in no time! - Glam Hairstyle for the win! A few more pics from the Bananarchive: Prepping the models! This looks like a girl group from the 90ies... Can we call them "Kitty Power"? There is no more fun than smashing gears! Taking aim at the sewer... Doc Vazi never knew what hit him. And as a bonus pic there could only be ONE CHOICE this time: Enjoy your holiday weekend, fellas!

That's an amazing array of pics, @Midnyte! Some really great ones with characters in sync, like those best! Thank you!

@TrixieKixx If nobody else needs the AT, I will come with Dark Anaesthetist Mind/Emp Controller, for this one. Shiny new Roman/Greek costume and Incarnate powers on. My 1st ever lvl50 since... well... ever. Never managed to get anything going beyond the 30ies when I still played on live. Guess why .... 😇

Poison Catnip 😁

Sounds like "all the good ones" are already in the mix. But hey, @Midnyte: Come with whatever you want! It was nowhere said that they all needed to be different. Heck, make a Poison Ivy / Catwoman Crossover! 🙂 Don't know if the CC has the tools to make it work, however... it would be a challenge, I think...

@TrixieKixx put me down for Wonder Catwoman, Savage/Willpower Scrapper and - as the name implies - a Wonder / Cat Woman Crossover. I think somebody else also prepared a WW toon, but I decided to just go with it. Can't have enough Wonder Women! 🙂

The Server outage yesterday has put me a little bit behind schedule for saturday. I think I can get Amber to 25+ okay, but I may need to fast track Divine Wind in some way. Still hovering at lvl7 now...

Oh great, did OVH burn down ANOTHER Server facility...? It's a riddle to me how a company can operate like this...
