I'm aware that glace is ice in French.  However, cannon isn't a word in French (it would be canon, not cannon), so it's kind of a forced expression.

I do get the in-joke, but as I say, it's kind of forced... at least in my view.

(on the other hand, I love his civilian name!)

 

 

Hahaha. Yeah. I don't believe you for a second. You were teeing off on me TELLING me what I wanted. And then went on to tell me that I had to "settle."

 

It's not meant to be "Glass Cannon" like you claimed because you don't know french.  XD

Glace Cannon for my Ice/Ice/Ice blaster.  Might be my favourite name ever.

 

That's good enough for me!  The only person who counts is you and I'm a little annoyed at anyone who is trying to take away from your fun.

 

That makes it (counts my alts) my 156th favorite name.

 

Oops, I just registered Executor of Estate and Heir Apparent on Reunion.  So 158th favorite name.

Who run Bartertown?

I got the name Trash Ghost on Excelsior a few day sago.  And, as someone who contacted me out of the blue when I put out a call for LFG asked, yes he is a Grav.  I mean, how often can you get a chance to use the "trash can logo" chest detail anyway, right?

I meant no disrespect.  You meant what you meant... but it looks like you meant Glass Cannon.  You've clarified that now, but on first glance, it doesn't look like that.

 

It's the same when someone suggested I use the name Canadien Shield (using the French word) because I couldn't use Canadian Shield.  It's technically correct, but it LOOKS like a spelling error, or a mistake.  That's all I was saying.

I just got "Surprise Party", but I feel badly about not using it for a stalker.  I may come up with something better for the character, a Dom, and release it.  If so, I'll let you know.

I want [A Peeling], where your clown MM throws banana peels over an aoe and everything slides on it with no inertia(think icy pond effect) with a high chance of falling(and sliding more).

And of course [Cream Pie Toss] and [Flower Squirt].

I was surprised to get Natural Remedy for a heal/support type. Not actually used it yet so if anyone did really want it, let me know and why you should get it.

 

Also i recently got Jammy Dodger lol if anyone wanted that also.

 

Excelsior.

 

Natural Remedy, that's a Plant/Emp 'troller if I've ever heard one.  You should totally go for it.

I found out the other day that the good folks on Everlasting somehow let the name American Aegis sit untouched for years!

 

I was just as surprised when I joined back in March to find that nobody on Everlasting had taken Annie Matter the name of an old Rad/Rad Corruptor I had on Virtue.  It's such an obvious pun.  I have several variants of this toon with different AT/powers and also scored Annie Proton and Annie Social for them.  Weird.

I was never the biggest Stones fan, but I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to grab Street Fighting Man for my martial arts stalker.  Might have been better for Street Justice, but I comporomised and rolled Street Fighting Girl (woman made the name too long) as a SJ/SR scrapper.

Formerly of Guardian server, my global was @Panzer Saint.

I just got Ogre-powered and I'm worried I'm stealing an ingame name a bit.

I am @Chrono-Bot! SGs: Girls Gone Rogue Isles, The Helping Hands, The Orange Bagels, Paragon's Perfectly Normal Heroes. Server: Everlasting! See my characters, now with photos, below!

Don't sweat it, Rosencrantz! The Devs are fine with in-game allusions, pretty forgiving of in-game parodies, and will smash you with the Hammer of Justice if you call yourself "GM Kaiju."

 

In other news, Torchbearer now has a freshly-minted Lady Mondegreen!

With no spaces in the name woman would fit.  Just keep each word capitalized and people will be able to easily read it.  Your preference of course for removing spaces to fit more words.  There should be room for 1 space - StreetFighting Woman is 20 characters.
