* Crudely hit on every woman in the group (naturally they're all women). Be as disgusting as you can.

* (("I can't help it, it's what my character would do!"))

This is actually the exact sort of behavior that helped chase me away from Pocket D. Both the general "but my character's concept is that they're an rear end in a top hat" types and hanging around an obnoxious dude whose character just ran around goosing ladies, getting into trouble for goosing ladies, and then complaining that he got into trouble yet again for goosing ladies. I wasted entirely too many hours of my life hanging out with a really lame and ultimately toxic bunch. :sigh:

The IBP forums are now here to stay.

Our plans for the forums
By Cipher

Firstly, I’d like to apologize for the very rocky last 48 hours with the website. A lot of things went poorly during migration and we ran into a big issue that either did not occur or was not as obvious during the test migration done a while ago. This issue was the biggest cause of delay during migration as it required some research, database work, and programming to resolve.

Our plans moving forward have changed several times, as I’m sure many have noticed, but a final decision has been reached. We will be sticking with IPB and working to improve it, both functionally and visually. This begins with tweaking the theme to condense things a little and replacing the WYSIWYG editor and HTML system that IPB currently uses for posts with a new system that uses BBCode instead.

We’re aware that some people are happy about the new forums and others dislike them. If you have a problem with or criticism of the new forums, I welcome you to create a thread here. We will be keeping a close eye on feedback and suggestions.

Finally, members of our amazing GM team have offered to help go back and fix popular posts and guides that had their formatting get a bit messed up during migration, so hopefully we can get those fixed up ASAP.

Again, we apologize for the mess and constant back-and-forth since the migration started; hopefully we can make the new forums something that everyone is happy with and comfortable using.

As of the time of this post emails have been fixed, registration has been re-opened, and other features have been re-enabled.

Thank you for you continued support as always,
- Homecoming Team

Pretty much. Going back to your earlier post, the hardcore RP-ers (on Live) seemed to fall into two groups; those just looking for erp, and those engaged in some ultra-complex, utterly impenetrable game.

Not quite the same but some of the most fun I've had has been my wannabe demon queen who interrupted a bunch of darklords to start talking about how she was practising an evil laugh and that she needed a good evil plan because so far it was just banks and she was looking for a costume that would strike fear in the hearts of mortal men and DIDN'T have cleavage, and the entire group just stopping the darklording to give her villainy style tips was incredibly :kimchi:

My only real RP character (As in someone who routinely hangs out in Pocket D, I would probably do mild RP if someone walked up to another of my characters) is Enigmon, who is a hovering zombie with an orb for a head and communicates entirely by *[adjective] orb noises*. I have yet to work out an appropriate adjective for ordering a drink, though.

I'm playing wrong I guess because my player backgrounds were hitting random until something looked neat and picking a name that went with it.

It's only marginally fun if you have speed and jump boosts to get a proper zoom going, and even then only the advanced course really has anything going on.

There are badges for getting the gold, silver, and bronze times on each slope. Note that you can't earn more than one at a time, you have to race six times to get them all. It was fun for the first day or two the Ski Lodge was live.

I remember being somewhat invested at the time because my favorite character at the time was my ice/ice dom, who I wanna remake

I retooled my old claws/sr (first character!) as claws/wp but haven’t really played much; can’t decide if it’s a winning combo, though I assume anything works with willpower

Wait a second, I thought Homecoming set it up so that names are potentially stealable after a certain number of days based on level. A level 2 would be free after 30 days IIRC. What gives?

Wow, after talking with Frosty as his initial disappointment set in that the name was taken AND potentially being misused by someone, this does put a smile on my face. Miracles do happen!

The only problem is that I gave it a test run on a task force with two kineticists and I have no idea how far I have to go to actually make it perma.

Gonna be honest, don't hate that guy. I mean, he's not necessary because there's basically no part of the game that isn't a cakewalk with an 8-man party these days, but his heart's in the right place.

I just remember a troll someone did in a different game where they named their character something like Mister Descriptive and bound every single key to also play a text line saying what they were doing.

"Now I am moving forward!"
"Now I am moving forward!"
"Now I am moving forward!"
"Now I am moving left!"
"Now I am firing my gun!"
"Now I am reloading!"
"Now I am crouching!"

i hate that guy because he uses almost the exact same gimmick as one of my alts that i've been playing on and off for weeks, but more boring, and he...jesus he went from 1-50 in four days. guess that's what chain running the mothership raid will do for you. personally when I ran one it just made me want to kill myself when it was all over.
