VileTerror Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 It's time, comrades! The gazebos . . . they're everywhere . . . Paragon City.* The Etoile Isles. Praetoria. Even in Pocket D! Nowhere is safe . . . Alternat has dubbed it: The Awning Storm. But there is hope. Together, as The Gazebowatch, we can seek out the locations of the gazebos. We can work together to document their whereabouts. We can ascertain their movements, and determine when they'll be in position to strike against us! But we'll be READY for them! We'll know all their hiding spots, and we'll know which ones are anxious to attack us first, since they'll be all jittery and fall out of position. What say you, noble villains and nefarious heroes!? Will you stand with us against the gazebos?! All you need do is post here, and in your local Shard's appropriate channels of communication, with the /loc of each gazebo you find. Feel free to confirm others' documented gazebo locations. After all, if the gazebos ARE on the move, we need to know. Kallisti Wharf 6669, 125, 817.5 Port Oakes -590, 165, 517.5 Imperial City 677.5, 110, 3200 Pocket D 850, 30, -1085 (okay, honestly, in researching this, I came to the incredibly disappointing realization that there aren't actually that many gazebos Blueside after all. I guess I really am an unrepentant villain. I just assumed Paragon had to have tonnes of gazebos since the Etoiles did.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougGraves Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The gazebos used to be villains like you, until they took an arrow to the knee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VileTerror Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Honestly? Even without that classic story*, I'd still have honed in on the gazebos. I play a lot of Redside, and I just keep finding the damned thing! All the same, I appreciate that story, since it's helped keep the Everlasting players engaged in Gazebowatch on that Shard. *Unless, of course, the original Devs only added gazebos as a reference to that story in the first place.

VileTerror Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Oh, this started months ago. It only just got latched on to over the past week. There was also someone asking about the basketball courts in Brickstown. I used to think there were more gazebos in the game than courts, but I did a count on courts yesterday, and I'm not so sure any more. Add Skyway's courts in to the count, and there are almost certainly more courts than gazebos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RikOz Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Alternat thanks you for the mention, and is proud to have coined "The Awning Storm"! (which occurred to me after your mention of Ouroboros as a base of operations) And yes, it was Alternat, together with her comrades, Stabby Steffi and Mandy Manslapper, who first called out the threat of The Basketball Courts. They are currently considering a 3-pointer plan to deal with the situation. Edited July 28, 2022 by RikOz Converted PNG to JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchVileTerror Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 So, I found out much later that I apparently already know Pizzicato in the game. I gave them several ATOs and Super Packs for their fine work! How much might I give . . . -you?- *points dramatically toward whoever is reading this* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopery Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I read the wiki and I don't think they have it right. I could swear the story of the Gazebo was printed in an issue of Dragon Magazine. Our old DM showed it to our party because it reminded him of something once of our less bright traveling companions might have said. If I remember right the encounter went something like this: DM: In the middle of the courtyard is a large gazebo. Player: I cast magic missile! DM: You can magic missile at what? Player: At the gazebo, of course! DM: ... Those times you saw no footprints, I had Fly toggled on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
