    This thread suffers from a distinct lack of pirates. Did you know Blackbeard would entwine canon fuses in his hair and beard? When going into battle he would light them to freak out the enemy. I give you the following evidence that he was, in fact, pretty crazy(and awesome). Actually, he probably would have fit right in with the WildCards...

    I agree with the above.

    As an added note - because I know the debate is now inevitable - The answer is Pirates. I mean... when have you ever seen a Ninja with wenches?

    Interestingly enough, I was fiddling with the charcater creator and made a pirate toon with the zombie head and sticthed zombie bodies.

    Made him Single Blade, Pirate Cutlass of course, and a hook hand. I threw it out because the peg leg, frankly, sucks.



    True Story.

    So give him a robotic leg and make him a cyber-zombie-pirate

    We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

    I'll be in touch with you guys tonight. Reminds me of my old LOTRO kin on firefoot

    Orc heads and maiden beds .

    I'm one of those "tons of alts" guys. I've played just about all the games you mentioned and am a gamer from the "old school" i.e. DIKUMUDs and NetTrek, etc.

    My GF will probably also be interested but she plays very casually and is hardly ever on. Too busy knitting. srsly.

    The original post has been updated. Now includes 100% more oblique references to City of Heroes, and 37% more sexiness.

    I've been trying to contact you guys in game, since you sound exactly like what I'm looking for (and Dao_Jones' Calvin avatar really sold me), but I keep getting "@so_and_so is not online." every time I try sending a tell. This is despite the fact they're showing up in Search...

    So if you're on now...and still looking for sarcastic miscreants to add to you roster...add me to your friends list and send me a tell....

    Don't make me beg! :p

    The above poster has been officially "hooked up".

    As for the rest of you - I updated the info in the original post, so now you should pretty much have no questions about how to get in touch with us if you want in. In fact, it's sorta like an IQ test now: if you CAN'T figure out how to get into the WildCards, you were not meant to be in the WildCards. :D

    Stay classy, Millennium City!

    Cheer up, ye sorry lot, the Captain's come to deliver you from...eh, your booze, I suppose.

    After reading through the whole 46 pages of this thread (took me three days, but my boss was already looking pretty cross at me for me giggling crazily at random intervals), my brain's turned mushy enough that I won'
    t be fit for any self-respecting SG, so that kinda just leaves the WildCards.

    I'll post an application on the website as soon as I can get into the right frame of mind (=drunk). Strangely, my boss objects to that state at work even more than to the giggling...I wonder what they pay me for. I bet he does, too.

    Till later,

    See now I have had Awesome Sauce. All it really is is Thousand Island dressing and extra Cayenne Pepper. Sure, its good for a twang, but nothing special.

    Now if you want some truly awesome sauce, there is this BBQ joint down off of Rengstorf called Uncle Franks. That there is some awesome sauce! I went with a couple of work buddies one time. I gotta tell you - I've never seen a bald man sweat so quickly nor profusely when he started eating.

    Truth be told, we did install a Sexiness filter on our website. I know they are still calibrating it though. You may have tried at a time when the sensitivity was being tweaked.

    For the moment just find us in-game for an invite. Clearly our new hosting option is not working out. Which is a shame, because *now* what are we going to do with that old Tandy we have sitting in the corner? If it's not used as our site server, I guess it'll have to go back to being our gaming computer.

    Greetings, Citizen! Casual RP is encouraged. Who knows, someone may even join you. The subject has been brought up previously. There hasn't been any organized RP, but that isn't to say you couldn't get the ball rolling.

    Take me for instance... I have a theme song that plays whenever I arrive on the scene. It was tough getting Cryptic to agree to it, but that is how I roll.

    I don't so much RP as much as type whatever random crap bubbles to the surface of my subconsious, some times this involves killer robots and moonbases, which could probably be mistaken for RP, sometimes it involves random pictures of animals, which could also probably be mistaken as RP if you consider it in an abstract manner

    The better question would be "Would you use your Orbital Cannon on someone who breaks the silence revolving around said Orbital Cannon?"

    I was going to throw up before, during, and after. I'm slimming down so I can wear the same outfit my character does while I plays the game.

    Alright. My main is a munitions toon named Grit Claymore. Though it should be GRIT CLAYMORE, CELEBRITY BADASS. Grit became a Youtube sensation after recording his crimefighting stunts. Soon thereafter, he became the spokeshero for Crest toothpaste and the star of "Lights, Camera...Grit Claymore!: The Grit Claymore Action Hour Featuring Grit Claymore, Produced By Grit Claymore Productions", a reality superhero series on the Versus channel. At the height of its popularity, LC..GC!:TGCAHFGC,PBGCP was nominated for a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award and Grit reportedly cybered with Megan McCain - but not during the awards broadcast.

    During the Thanksgiving 2008 episode of LC..GC!:TGCAHFGC,PBGCP, Grit got lit on Wild Turkey and punched special guest star Rey Mysterio, Jr in the mouth, spewing five minutes and twelve seconds of invective about the carelessness of Panamanians (the ethnicity of the contractor who poured the wrong marcite into Grit's brand new in-ground pool). The Mexicans got upset about the Rey Mysterio thing, despite Mysterio being from California, and the Panamanians got upset about the aspersions cast on their ability to properly install a pool.

    Grit was ruined. No more Versus, no more Youtube. The /b/ board made his tirade into a meme, which was quickly picked up by other boards and then immediately given the Old Meme tag by the /b/ tards; the meme eventually made it onto YTMND and Facebook and Grit became an official laughingstock. Crest dropped him. Megan McCain stopped following his Tweets. Even the Chitwood Bros of Chitwood Bros Tire and Lube in Atmore, Alabama rescinded their offer to have Grit pitch their radio ads. Worst of all, his friendship with Rey Mysterio, Jr couldn't be repaired.

    Poor, lonely, but still emphatically handsome, Grit Claymore, Celebrity Badass returned to the streets of Millenium City to do what he does third best - fight the forces of evil!

    Sound like a character that would fit in with the SG?

    I thought I'd recognized you from your face on the radio. I wasn't positive though. I am glad you have returned to your third best roots. We do have our limits. If you had said fourth best, you would most likely have been laughed right on out of the city.

    I did enjoy the background color! I think you may just have what it takes to be a WildCard. The website seems to still be minus one hamster, but be sure to check the status through the day and drop an app. I look forward to your well thought out answers and philospohical debate on "Tight Briefs: Under or Over the Hero Costume".

    In the meantime, be sure to look up someone in game today to get an invite. Let's see how you mix with the rest of us. Kinda like a box of Nuts and Chews.
