He's been gently escorted off the premises and delivered to a proper medical facility to receive treatment for over a decade's worth of alcohol poisoning. Huh. Curious. I was sure he was trying to design a new Projectile Vomiting powerset but died of dehydration before it could be perfected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly it seems like what would happen if an AI were asked to generate a 'CoH Forum Argument.' Most of the replies in this thread are the most token forum kvetching I've ever seen or just trolling, which is basically the same thing at that point. Not a knock against trolling, mind. That's as much an age-old pastime on CoH forums as arguing about stuff is. Frankly, a farcical back and forth about Puking Guy is a lot better than the nonsense that gets tossed around in Powerset threads (or the massive dumpster fires that were the AE threads). >.> Global is @El D, Everlasting Player, Recovering Altaholic.

A ****STAPLE**** to this *great* game was *unceremoniously* *EXECUTED* over... what? Players being *UNABLE* to locate their navigation keys and walk a whole 15ft away him? Or, worse still the ***COWARD DEVS*** sheer, uncompromising *DUMBOCITY* that they couldn't just like... mute him? This is, without a doubt, the greatest tragedy to befall this community since the last greatest tragedy to befall this community. I know, I know... it's hard. But I for one will NOT give into despair! I will FIGHT!I propose a compromise!

I can't believe people are in the forums bitching about the removal of an NPC that was so integral to their experience that they immediately came here to pound on their keyboards, decrying the unfairness of it all. What's that? Puking dude was removed almost 9 months ago and no one noticed until now? Yes, we see now how important he was to you folks.

MrAxe Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 If the devs really want to punish fire farmers just put him in the Pocket D AE to puke all over the floor. That'll stop them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in one of the club's corner's next to a ramp. Always gave me a chuckle when I saw or heard him (even feeling a bit bad for him too), but where has he gone? Is his appearance random in the club? You don't think he can binge drink that much do you? I mean how much alcohol can he drink anyway... oh wait... I think that's his superpower and he's finally come to grips with it. He's probably just out on the streets wearing a cape and puking on Hellions and killin' Skulls (aren't we supposed to be arresting them?!) If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmperorSteele Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I think he's still there? The other day I was trying to get a screenshot of my badges list by the redside portal, and I could have sworn I heard him...
