Recommended Posts

Okay, after scripting forever to get The Bleed AE story (finally done), taking a bit of downtime with ol' Tracks. Of course, you all know that, no matter what the toon, Crane invariably walks into stuff like this:

But, ma! I AM a tank! 

 

(pst...he's not...)

 

Nothing like cross punch to give you a reprieve.:-)

So, finally, with the western motif, went with:

image.png.f5fbd3b76d0bb95e56e49179aae711b0.png

I'm tellin' ya, pard, I done went to hell. An' it ain't like that.

 

Introducing:

John Duke (Fire Control/Savage Assault Dom)

 I died on the desert...  Well...not exactly. See, they left me there, outside-a Tombstone. Left dead, under the dyin' moon. Somewhere in the night, beneath the pale moonlight, my sould was transported downward, where it belonging.  I was asked if I wanted revenge.  I said yes.  I got that, and more. I got the hellfire, and the blood frenzy. I got the madness that overcomes ya in the heat.  An' now? I just cain't die.  An' it's killin' me...

 

(Never run this particular combo, so...stand back...)

 

NOTE: Soon as I make some $$, gonna grab that coyote travel power, 'cause AWOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

Heck with it-used acquired ouro portal to scarf Echo:Galaxy explore. Converted those and AP explore merits into merits, grabbed a revolver (I mean...c'mon-gotta have a gun), and threw down 1M for this:

And we're on the case!

Extensive Redside run through end of Graves, Bane Spider Ruben, and a host of other folks (Gremlins, filthy Arachnos, and these guys, who we just hammered when they tried to book a pleasure cruise):

Should we tell them how we got thrown under the bus in the last mission of Ruben's arc? Dang villains. really can't trust them, can you. Well, the speech did say "y'all are villains, you should act like it." Next thing we know, the villain mob we brought with us were nowhere to be seen, it was just TL and MGD against a roomful of longbow. Bastards. (and of course, thinking we had a redside posse behind us, TL jumps in the middle of a couple of dozen reds and yellows, starts taking selfies, and bam! we're both checking out floor tiles).

Good times. 😃

Hey, gang. I’ll be doing some AE scripting on Excel Friday a.m., but if anyone comes on, feel free to PM me. Been running Tracklash solo on occasion. He’s getting up there, which means I might be looking to get a new concept going. Maybe finally run something Sonic.

 

..or I might do yet another face punching vigilante type.:-)

So, when you get this far with this guy:

You get this:

And if you're also doing this guy's arc:

You pick up this:

Not a bad day's work.:-)

Yet ANOTHER (alt universe) Nemesis.

Had enough yet, man?

 

P.S. This one comes with a badge:

Time to expand the roster. In a bid to create my own version of Astro City's Silver Agent, I've come up with:

image.png.351b910775b30c17927f95ebe9f71ed3.png

 RICK STERLING! The man, the myth, the legend. From days of yore, he's reborn. Rick Sterling. The Argent Agent. The Silver Sentinel. Paragon of virtue and relic of an age decidedly...erm...silver.:-)

 

Starting with all the L1 contacts in AP and grinding through them organically. Avoiding the nice Habashy and, later, Stockwell arcs, just to see what happs. 

 

Time to brush up on my cheesy dialogue...

Oh, those Skulls...

image.png.322cc15bb3abf7ee57fd153018be0715.png

How COULD they?

 

image.png.f5ec9012894a1ceeb283256031f25178.png

Get. In. COMPLIANCE!

 

After some of this-n-that, we settled on Tristan Caine..and DELIVERED.

image.png.6026199ea14fc5ab03808137e78acc20.png

 

And so did he:

image.png.e957288a4f3292ecbb44bf3f0183d682.png

 

Takes awhile, but the rewards are pretty decent. LOTS of traveling to AP, KR, Sky, and PP was in there, as well. Worth it, doing the solo route.

image.png.548c6b3bb832e16a6cba7018eb090532.png

All in a day's work, citizens!

Rick Sterling is trucking toward 20 at the moment. Running Mark Freeman's Clocky stuff. After a couple mishes, he throws a Plasmatic Taser your way:

Goes well with the one I already have:-)

Tricky Ricky has been Pistol-whipping his way through Sky/Steel contacts. Watch Laura Lockhart give her all. Went ahead and did the Stockwell/Eagle Eye stuff. Handled Veles surprisingly well, thanks to all the KB (basic pistols [no ammo switching-I decided he just uses plain ol' bullets), plus he's outfitted with temp grenades and plas taser [using $$ from enhancement converter sales, one of our allowed "cheats," since we are not restricted from playing the market, or anything we can afford to buy).  It's been a pretty fun run, outside having to do thos hunt mishes. On the other hand, doing the hunts makes you keep close track of where to find what you need. Spent a LOT of time knocking out Lost in The Gish, beneath the overpasses. Had a pre-L20 Tsoo mish, and had to think, where are they, besides Talos. Then I remembered. Steel Canyon, toward ICON.:-)  Since we can do some selling for $$, I should be able to slot SO's pretty easily. We'll see if he hits a wall somewhere along the line. I haven't gotten any really good recipes yet.

After a brief break, I have been active on Cerulean Cipher in the evenings lately, inching ever closer to 20. Unfortunately my playtimes don't overlap well with the rest of the SG so it's been a solo journey. In an effort to enjoy the scenic route, I've only been turning XP on during my story arcs, and even then I still turn it off here and there. I think I am out of arcs for the 15-19 range (mostly Steel Canyon contacts) so I think I will step into the past via Ouroboros to make it to the next set of contacts. I've been checking my progress by looking at the Ouro mission list and it's more rewarding than I thought seeing so many gold stars on that list. Taking down Dr. Vahz was easier than I anticipated, although he was just an EB when I fought him. That was probably my most anticipated fight of this round of arcs, although all of them held nostalgic interest.

Okay, shout out to @Darmian (and a lifetime membership to the Riders) for running OG TF's and getting the TFC badge through ouro.
