Grasshopper

There's your problem right there. Never go through a staffing agent. Always go to the source. The staffing agent takes a huge percentage of the profits from the job.

I got my first name back. 🔽 I'd deleted it after a few extra characters, because I never liked what I'd created. I'm going to try again. CAPE FEAR

Inferno's response to a zombie attack in his training grounds. Possibly the most unique signature trainer/task force giver attack currently in the game.

Truth. I still remember the slide shows that were Rikti Invasions in Atlas Park.

Thought I'd share a couple of the great moments from tonight's Mastermind Monday tackling the Citadel TF. At least, I think they were great moments. As you can clearly seen, that's me in the midst of it laying down fire. Uh, yeah. That's me. Right next to the bat. At least...I think its a bat. It might be the space between two people...*tilts head* or the head of a pickaxe? Okay, honestly, I'm not sure I came out of this Task Force with the same people that went into it. I'm not saying it was bright, but my robots with only infrared vision were even complaining of being blind. Vampires were instantly vaporized. I'm pretty sure I saw a little ugly creature huddle in a corner crying "It burns, Precious!" Team Transport was a barrel of fun, too. Transport in, leap from the door, turn around to tag it for entry and (blinding glare) ...nope that was a litch...nope that was a thug, nope...robot, nope... wait? How'd the rest of you get inside when I'm still crashing into pets? 🤣 (It was a great run, no deaths. At least, I think there weren't...the result window was a tad hard to see.)

Well, at least you didn't say the grasshoppers were boring. Reserved, yes, but interesting.

I've a blaster. Water Blast/Mental Manipulation - seemingly odd combo that I picked strictly because of theming since he's called Aquaphobia. It's surprisingly fun. I'm sure someone with some build skill can make it work better than I can, but I enjoy it.

I've 3 with pun names: Kahlov the Wild - beast mastermind Glowlife - villain rad/rad blaster M.A.A.D. Scientist (Mobile Armored Automaton Division) - robot mastermind

I've no need for it, but that's a really great name.

I resemble that remark.

I've had this happen as well. On Excelsior, I'd just transferred away to Reunion a character named Glow Wyrm. He's got Long Range Teleport. Then I brought a second character of the same name, Glow Wyrm, from Everlasting and transferred him to Excelsior. When I accessed this second character afterwards, he had the Fast Travel menu button, but LRT was grayed out. I signed out of the game, went back in, and found the problem still intact. So current problem: Excelsior, Glow Wyrm EDIT: also just noticed that his new Supergroup's name is not displaying on his Personal Player Name headings.

My robots mastermind is the scientific genius behind the Mobile Armored Automaton Division. That's right, he's the M.A.A.D. Scientist.

I've a grav/time controller. In his 40's, and using only standard IOs, I was able to immobilize the drop ship at the end of the Mothership Raid...twice. The second occasion I did it just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, or someone else pulling the strings the time before. Believe me, I was shocked, and apparently several others were as well, based on the comments. If I could do that before 50, I can see how an Incarnate version could really give an AV a bad day. What I play, but can't recall having ever seen is a water/mental blaster. In fact, I built it just to see how crazy it might be. I'm sure there are others, I just can't recall having ever run into them.

I don't know if I'd call it a pun or not, maybe "word play", but I have a rad/rad I call Glow Wyrm. 'cause he glows just like a glowworm. But he also has a wingless dragon on his chest, which is a wyrm. So ya, word play. You might also try acronyms. My robotics mastermind I named "The M.A.A.D. Scientist" for Mobile Armored Automation Division. However, I did drop all the periods in the name so that folks wanting to recruit me to their team didn't have to deal with the hassle. I did leave the letters capitalized though. I have seen folks using periods probably because someone is using the full name without them. Your acronym doesn't have to be perfect. Have you ever heard of "S.H.I.E.L.D."?
