The C3G Cave - Hangout

[Lord Pyre]

Since I have been, too, and I didn't even apply, I doubt it's "given access" and more "new forum that's yet to be hidden."

EDIT: Oh, quick question, by the by - anyone here know the scale of Monsterpocalypse? Like, the full monsters - how big are they compared to HeroScape figures? I get the impression they'd fit on a double base, roughly... but I'm not entirely certain.

I used to play Monsterpocalypse, I'll snap some pictures for ya. But generally no, they won't fit well.

[Griffin]

Wow bats....... way to drop the ball on this one. :poorpost:

You know "Anakin" is gonna chop off your arm before the emperor when he finds out he is on the council but not a Master right? :lol:

Age is not just a number, if it were, people would never ask you how old you are, grades wouldn't be divided by age groups, there wouldn't be a kid's section on the site, there wouldn't be a drinking age limit, kids would be able to skip school without punishment, etc, etc, etc,

The reason I ask is mostly for THIS (http://files.privateerpress.com/monsterpocalypse/EmpireOfTheApesMonster%20BG.jpg) figure that'll be out in a future release - it looks like it'd make for a really cool cyborg gorilla... of some kind. :lol:

[quozl]

Anyone play any Heroscape today? I got in a 3-way battle between me, my wife, and my daughter. No C3G units but one of my daughter's custom units was used.

[IAmBatman]

Somebody has a thing for monkeys ... :-P

Nah, my parents were here most of the day and I was in a big time food coma and then fing up as an admin after that. :lol:

Built a custom map and got 2 games in managing to use every C3G X-Men unit at least once except Toad and Iceman.

I have to say Blob was the star of both games as a defensive unit. Professor X also was overall MVP. I never used Telepathic Blast, or Psychic Defense X with him but Mutant Mind Link lets you get some serious mileage out of cheaper heroes like Nightcrawler and Pyro.

You know Quozl, there are some sick people around here that like to edit quotes, and the one above would have been pretty tempting for some sick bastage. :)

Edit: Oh to answer the original question. I got an army test in for Shadow Thief before going to my sister's for Thanksgiving and then coming back and working in the basement for 4 hours. I let my wife "help" with something last week when she was off work one day and something that should have taken 2 hours total, has already taken me about 4 hours to fix and will likely take another hour tomorrow before I can start working on what I should have been working on earlier tonight. But I kept my mouth pretty much shut and just did it without giving her an earful about it. For you newlyweds, the wives remember things forever, so be careful what you say, it can haunt you forever.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah. Prof X is my favorite C3G unit, hands down.

[quozl]

You all better leave my wife and daughter out of it!

[Good Pig]

That 10 range with Mutant Mind Link is incredible. However, I think he did much better than he would have due to that fact that my friend (kind of a newb player) was using Magneto to toss around everyone but Prof X with Magnetic Throw.

I'm sure Prof. X will be a target next time.

He's going to have to get an armored plating upgrade for that wheel chair.

I only have the first set, my LGS stopped carrying it then, and the one person I played with quit, and I've been sitting on loads of $$$ worth of it ever since. :p

The Cthul big monsters won't fit on bases well because of the tentacles, but the other alien should. The only thing is they look SLIGHTLY too small compared to the larger 'Scape figures. These guys are supposed to dwarf skyscrapers, and they look a bit off comparatively. And the little units or whatever they're called are generally just way too small. The Taskmaster green guy by Batman might make for a cool squad or something, even if he is a bit short, but the problem is that he's rare and costs a lot (At least, when I used to play a year or so ago he was).

If Mags and Prof X are on the battlefield, the smartest thing Magnetic can do is keep his bubble up and use his normal attack to put Prof X on the ropes. No sense making yourself vulnerable and throwing people around while your opponent is still getting 2 for 1 turns.

:word:

Mags can be kind of a whimp vs. some equal point guys if you lower the bubble and try throwing them around. If his teammates can distract the opponent, Mags has a better chance with his shield down.

Yeah, I wanted to get into MonPoc, too, because I love the idea... but it's just too much money for something I'd never get to play. But, huh, most probably wouldn't fit in, either by literal size or the fact they're supposed to be obviously a lot larger... but I think they gorillas would. They'd just be slightly-larger-than-average gorillas, which is fine by me.

Somebody has a thing for monkeys ... :-P

Funny thing? I really don't. I find Gorilla Grodd VERY boring in most cases, but I really like Mallah because he's such a ridiculous concept (same for the Gorilla Boss of Gotham City). So I thought up synergy he could use from there, and along with my E-Ray Glyph concept, I've now dedicated myself to creating a fully realized and competative Gorilla Army for C3G.

...yeah, not quite a Gandhi-esque cause, but it'll do in a pinch. :lol:

[Good Pig]

This was both of our first game using them. We quickly found out some favorite units and combos. Btw, using Magneto to throw someone into adjacency with Blob and Mystique is just plain mean....and awesome!

It IS a great game, but it did cost me a lot of money that now I wish I wouldn't have spent, since nobody seems to want to trade for it. :p
You'd have to probably have the figures in your hand to make sure they'd work, and that their feet would line up on a base.

Heh, in my psychology of gender class, I wrote an analysis of homosexuality in comics, and I mentioned Mallah because that case is some sort of gay bestiality. With a brain. My professor got a laugh out of it. :p

If you can get Pyro to survive to his next turn, the throwing at him is useful as well. :-)

[Good Pig]

Yes, I'm happy to say Pyro held his own in my second game too. He managed to take out an entrenched Blob in 2 turns with good rolls for his Engulf 11 and Living Flames Special Attack.

[IAmBatman]

Nice. :-)

[Scapemage]

Just to let everyone know, I have edited a lot out of my posts from last night. I would like the discussion's confidentiality to stay between only those who witnessed all of it.



It's also Black Friday! I've gotta go shopping. :help::bang:

[Hahma]

You are a glutton for punishment Scapemage :)

I will be nowhere near any store today.

[GreyOwl]

Same here. I hate going shopping on Black Friday!

[tcglkn]

I'm just going to the Penguins game today. :D

[mrcrimson]

I worked it twice back when I worked at Staples, and shopped it once. It was a nightmare, and will never do it again. My wife on the other hand is insane about it, and spends her time after eating turkey spreading out the ads and formulating a battle plan for the next morning.

[mrcrimson]

This is what i've been doing while shes been out bargain hunting

You lucky so in so. :D The Pens are my second favorite team after the Blackhawks. I got to go to a Hawks game earlier this year and would be in heaven if I could see them play the Pens. But the Hawks are a Western Conference team and they don't get to see the Pens much if at all.

That is one fine TILF. :drool: Terrain I'd Love to Flock.

[mrcrimson]

TILF? LOL. I've been wanting to do this for a while to one of my spare sets (still got 5 unopened ones sitting in the garage). The one, two and three hexers were easy to do, but the 24 hexers were pretty flocking difficult. :)

[Griffin]

If I wanted a flock would you give a flock?

[GreyOwl]

I think it's weird that you want to flock your terrain, but I don't really give a flippin' flock what you flock in the privacy of your own home. :p

[mrcrimson]

I think GreyOwl just told me to go flock myself :lol:

I was talking to Griffin, but flock it...it could flocking apply to anyone, I guess.

[Griffin]

Hey, you can GO flock yourself. :p

[GreyOwl]

Well, flock me!

[quozl]

Flocking is best when you do it with someone you love.

Please don't flock by yourself.

[Griffin]

Friends don't let friends flock alone.

[Scapemage]

I'm off. The company I work for a few years back gave us the option of either columbus day or black Friday off. I think our union made the right choice.

[SirGalahad]

Educators have today off -except I'm using my day off to work my second job - soccer official.

[Margloth]

Can I just take a minute and say that I'm really excited that Good Pig looks to be joining the C3G crew? Great fit for everybody involved, imho.

LOVE LOVE LOVE C3G stuff and have been consistently impressed with Piggy's stuff, so :thumbsup: all around!

[IAmBatman]

A few things -
You guys are flocking hilarious!
My wife went Black Fridaying with my mom and didn't spend all of our money (total brag :-D ).
I went to Cooperstown with them and my dad today, and saw the baseball hall of fame (good stuff - go Ty Cobb).
Go Red Wings also!
Go Lions ... :-(
Good Pig is awesome and we're glad to have him aboard.
Also, Batman Begins for under $2 is a total steal. Love that movie!

[Scapemage]

[johnny139]

Anyone watch the Young Justice premiere earlier tonight? Because you probably should have watched the Young Justice premiere earlier tonight.

Possibly the best DC cartoon since Batman: The Animated Series. Possibly better. Makes me hope that the future C3G Dick Grayson Robin has some sort of Sidekick Leadership ability. :D

I'm about to go watch it now :D.

[tcglkn]

I just had my day made. I went to my local game store to pick up some D3 (great wave, I need more commons) and while I was there I said what the heck and grabbed 2 Web of Spiderman boosters for 20% off. I opened the first one in my car and the first figure I saw was the $35 dollar Deadpool! Talk about getting you moneys worth in an 8 dollar booster.

I still need more D3, I have 1x everything so far and my local game store is getting more so I'm gonna try to nab 2-3 times more the common and 1-2 more of the uncommon pack.

Nice! Nothin' like a Super Rare, eh? I've only got one, and it's worthless. The Top from Arkham Asylum. I'm hoping for some SRs and some Chases in my brick.case of DC75th.

[tcglkn]

Especially when it is a figure I was really wanting anyways! I couldn't bring myself to play 8 dollars just for Deadpool.

Oh and I just realized I got 6 Code: Blue Officers and 6 Lt. Marcus Stone and the Beat Cops are only a 3 man squad. So instead of the 3 squads I was aiming for, I have 4.

Cartoon Network, of course! The only place to go for comic cartoons... except for Disney XD and sometimes Nicktoons... and I guess The Hub, too...

...of course, it was just a "teaser" of sorts. Full show won't premiere until January.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, having to wait sucks, but this is a version of Teen Titans that feels drawn straight from the comics (other than some liberties with the time line and all).

[Scapemage]

Thanking TurtleKing for the avatar...that reminds me...did that 50 pointer Atom you talked about one time ever hit playtesting?

I've delayed doing an LD for Atom in interest of LDing things more likely to finish out boosters and waves.

Just me? That's weird. I figured when you made the art section (which also showed up), you hit a wrong button. :shrug:

I was curious, so I clicked on it before I realized what it was, then when I saw the thread titles, I was like "oh, CRAP!" :p I only saw one figure that hasn't been playtested or hinted at yet, and I won't tell. And I didn't look at anything else, I don't want to spoil it!!!

I still feel bad, though... :p

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, there've been a lot of weird glitches on this site recently ... not sure what's up.

[LordEsenwienIV]

So when can we expect another secret release?

[Lord Pyre]

So when can we expect another secret release?

I'd assume not for a few months. If we get wave 4 (Or 3, or whatever, I don't remember how you're counting it. :p ) in Dec, and the FF set in Jan, then I think we'll be set for a while. 8)


And actually I was goign to pop in and ask anyway, to you guys think we have a timetable yet? Is the wave still planned for late Dec? Any specific dates that are probable, so I can look forward to it?

[LordEsenwienIV]

One more question, Would there be any chance that in C3G they do the public access thing that they are doing in C3V?

We have a promotions department to field these types of questions now. :-) I wouldn't be surprised to see a month between Wave 4 and the Fan Four set, though, fwiw.

One more question, Would there be any chance that in C3G they do the public access thing that they are doing in C3V?

Probably not. Not any time soon at least. If we did something like that, it'd have to replace our public designs.

I now have a need to see that! Make it so.

Art department? We have a situation here.

[tcglkn]

Today while I was out, I went by Staples and had my first run of cards printed there. While expensive, they do an AMAZING job. I have been printing from home and it doesn't compare. Even though I chose matte over glossy, it still have the semi-glossy look.

EDIT: Also picked up some Avery Labels for when we get the Glyph tile stickers properly sized around here.

Why did "Santa falling over a waterfall" cause the rivers to run yellow? Did Santa get scared and wet himself?

Say, can anyone tell me how to take a custom card and put it into pdf form like all the cards in the C3G listing?? I want my custom cards to come out the same size and in the same manner, so there is no confusion when I go to get them printed.

[redstang]

By the way, if you didn't notice, Wonder Woman is bringing presents to us all.

[davidlhsl]

Why did "Santa falling over a waterfall" cause the rivers to run yellow? Did Santa get scared and wet himself?

lol... It was taken in the late afternoon and the lighting was bad.

I'll revise with a more modest waterfall. (sigh) Been several years since I did any serious hiking.

Here's a pretty good deal. (http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/SearchResults.htm?SWD=heroscape&CDT=1291163124) The sale only lasts until midnight tonight, though.

Wish they'd have a sale like that with Aubrien Archers and Gladiatrons ... not having a third set of each of those is the biggest hole in my collection.

[GreyOwl]

Funny, that's exactly what I'm missing, too.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Ditto for me, except its seconds and thirds.

[IAmBatman]

It's a pretty common complaint thanks to them never reprinting that set.

[Lord Pyre]

I don't have ANY. :p

[tcglkn]

I have one set of Glads, I need more. I already got 2 sets of Blasts from the first site giveaway. Just 2 more squads of Glads and I'm set. (Well with that build, I still have plenty of holes in my collection)

[IAmBatman]

Mine's pretty complete, other than no D2 or D3 since I quit on the DnD stuff after D1.

[Griffin]

Awwww, just buy some cheap elf archers from a different game. They are easy to find and often cheap.

[Good Pig]

I don't have ANY. :p

:word:

An alternative, which I've considered for my lone sets of Gorillanators, Marrden Hounds, Samurai Archers, and Heavy Gruts is creating a custom version of them as a unique squad to use in casual games.

[IAmBatman]

The glads I want even more.

[tcglkn]

I quit on the DnD stuff after D1.

That's when I really picked it up. I'm not fond of the figures too much but their darned fun to play. 8)

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I should probably at least get the Elementalist. It's just hard to justify not spending that cash on C3G stuff. :-P

[johnny139]

Yeah, Wave 2-4 are my biggest gaps. I have just one set of Drones and Minions, just one pack of Minute Men and Wolves, NO packs of Knights and the Swog, no Monks and Guards, no Gorillas and Hounds, no Soulborgs and Elves...

That and Wave 9, which I don't have a single pack of. Really disappointing, because I was hyped for it... but, priorities and such. C'est la vie.

Awwww, just buy some cheap elf archers from a different game. They are easy to find and often cheap.

I'm not a proxy man, myself. Fine for playtesting but, well, no proxies on my table, nosiree.

I coulda sent you Kurrok for cheap...

[GreyOwl]

I may have an extra Elementalist...

[IAmBatman]

Heh. Really, no worries guys. I'm totally capable of picking him up, I'm still just too stubborn to do it.

[tcglkn]

Heh. Really, no worries guys. I'm totally capable of picking him up, I'm still just too stubborn to do it.

Just curious, but why? Is it a collector issue for you? Are you super OCD? Or are you against proxies because you believe the Hitzone has a variable affect on the cost of a figure?

I just don't see the problem with proxies. :reapershrug:

[Lord Pyre]

I guess you could call it OCD. I mean, I didn'y but D2 or D3 because they changed the base size and that ruins it for me. Petty? Sure.

I'm right there with you guys. If the mini doesn't have the right look, why not just use a bunch of pogs with names on them?

[Griffin]

If an Elf Archer from DnD or Mage Knight looks like an Elf Archer, which is what Aubrien Archers are ;), it is a total theme pass for me. :D

[Balantai]

I was very happy with that Hasbro sale. I got to order all of wave 8 for 20 bones.

I got 4 packs of 10th. (you had to make seperate orders but shipping was only 6 bucks for me and I figured 10 bucks a pack is fair)

Plus I got all the Elves.

[Griffin]

I got 3 packs of the 10th for like 16 bones.

[Balantai]

I'm starting to think I should've ordered more 10th. :?

[mrcrimson]

I bought 3 more squads of 10th which brings my total to 4. The 10th are my all time favorite squad.

[Hahma]

Yeah, the 10th are pretty versatile, one of my favs as well.

They work great with Cap Ap and Marcus.

Because we're all subscribed to it anyway and because it's bumped often enough to keep it on the first page without being stuck. Also, it's not really a "resource" per se like the other stickied threads.

Not at all. And I cleaned off a lot of stuff when I got back from my honeymoon and had like 80+ threads bumped.
A lot of them are very old and obscure and if they pop up again I have no qualms about cleaning them off. Some are even locked.

Wow....

OK, click the subscribe button a the bottom of a thread. Then everytime you hit User CP, a list will appear of each thread that has been commented on since you last viewed it.

Basically, it is a great way to follow conversations as they transpire.

[Hahma]

This is the first time I've heard of subscribing to a thread. What happens when you subscribe?

When you click on your User CP, there will be a list of threads that have been commented on that you subscribed to. Sometimes I have a few, sometimes I have 20 or so show up. That kind of helps keep me up to date with things I'm most interested in. Now sometimes a thread will pop up that I haven't looked at in a long time, but that's just because it hadn't seen any action in awhile. But I just look at it and that's it, after you look at them they shouldn't pop up the next time you sign in and hit User CP.

It just makes it so much quicker to keep up without having to scroll through all the pages or forums.

I have found the best deal on a DC75th Brick for anyone who is interested. I will link the location later tonight after I have made my pruchase (can't risk it going out of stock). It's $90 with free shipping and the reciept for the BiBtB figure (White Lantern Sinestro).

Better yet, you need PayPal to make hte purchase, so that means that my parents will get a payPal acount, then I can become a Site Supporter for Christmas! :woot:

[johnny139]

I was rather considering buying a brick of DC75 on the off-chance of pulling a Sinestro and getting at least one White Lantern out of the deal, but... man, $80 is just too much for me.

[IAmBatman]

:lol: for sure. There are a few from this group that I want, but plenty I could care less about.
White Lanterns, for instance, I think are silly and I have zero interest in.

[GreyOwl]

Okay, so for us non-DC non-Lantern guys, can you give us a quick crash-course on the different colors? Why are white ones silly but not the others? And also I see yellow ones being depicted as cool and powerful villains, but also as idiotic Bizarro lanterns. Enlighten us! :) (get it..."enlighten"..."lantern"....eh, never mind. :p )

[Good Pig]

Count me in the ignorant column. Only Lantern I'd heard about before getting into C3G is the Green one.

I'm with you, I know about Green and Yellows, but the other colors confuse me. :confused:

[GreyOwl]

I don't feel like a total idiot anymore...it turns out I'm not the only one behind the curve on the lanterns. :)

[tcglkn]

I don't feel like a total idiot anymore...it turns out I'm not the only one behind the curve on the lanterns. :)

I'm really behind the curve, I look almost every unit that goes through playtesting on Wikipedia. I've started to recognize more of the characters and get some relationships down. Anyone want to send me some extra comic books? 8) I've read the GL Rebirth arc, GL Sinestro Wars, Some Thor, JLA VS Avengers, and Kingdom Come.

[johnny139]

Well, as I understand it, not too long ago (2006, maybe?) Sinestro came back in full force and made himself a team he called "Sinestro Corps." He'd always had a Yellow Power Ring, but now he had other allies (like Anti-Monitor and Cyborg Superman) who also got rings and they fought the Green Lantern Corps.

Fastforward to the past two years and suddenly there's this big event and the entire emotional/color spectrum gets Corps, each with huge armies on the same scale as the Green Lanterns.

Red Lantern Corps - Based on anger. Led by Atrocitus. Have the power to instill rage in others and... vomit blood, I guess...
Sinestro Corps (Yellow) - Based on fear. Led by Sinestro. Have the power to, well, spread fear.
Orange Lantern Corps - Based on greed. Pretty much just Atrocitus, because he's too greedy so share the power with others. Can absorb power from other rings, I think.
Green Lantern Corps - Based on willpower/fearlessness. Do I really need to explain this one?
Blue Lantern Corps - Based on hope. Led by Saint Walker. Healing powers, I think... not really sure.
Indigo Tribe - Based on compassion. Led by Indigo-1. Wait, maybe these guys have healing powers. I dunno the cooler half of the spectrum is pretty vague.
Star Sapphires (Violet) - Based on love. Led by Star Sapphire. Can show someone their true love and also have like crystal barriers I think.

So there's this big event where all the Corps fight and it's awesome and stuff, and this is followed by Blackest Night. Blackest Night introduces the Black Lanterns - who consist of dead characters from DC's history. They have the power to... steal hearts... and be scary... I guess? Not really sure.

And then, to finish off the Black Lanterns, the White Lanterns appear, which are ALSO dead DC characters, only instead of being zombies, they're just brought back to life. They can bring OTHERS back to life, I think. But they only appeared for like one issue, and the only one left is Deadman, and he's not "really" a White Lantern as much as he's looking for someone to carry the light or something.

...

If I recall correctly at least.

[IAmBatman]

White ones are silly because they're only there for a single storyline and don't seem to have any consistent or identifiable affect on powers. The change is story only - not any "real" change.
The lanterns are based on the so-called emotional spectrum and the chosen to bear those rings have the ability to inspire/contain great amounts of that emotion:

Red = Rage
Orange = Avarice (aka Greed)
Yellow = Fear
Green = Will
Blue = Hope
Indigo = Compassion
(Star Sapphires) Violet = Love

Black = Death
White = Life

So far the only thing "special" about the White Lanterns seems to be that they've come back to life at some point or other. Whatever.
I mostly think they're silly because it's so obviously temporary.
I think the same thing about Scarecrow as a Yellow Lantern and Wonder Woman as a Star Sapphire. They were in those roles for a blip in time for a very specific story moment and then really never again.
The Green Lantern Corps and the Yellow Lantern Corps (aka Sinestro Corps) are really the only two so far that have a decently large number of named characters.
The Red Lantern and Blue Lantern Corps do seem to be growing though. As do the Star Sapphires.
The Indigo Tribe (as they're called) are mostly unnamed and mysterious.
The Orange Lantern Corps is by its nature just one guy (Larfleeze) with a bunch of constructs (who's too greedy to share the power with anyone).
The Black Lantern Corps was another temporary story thing during Blackest Night and was basically the DC equivalent of Marvel Zombies (it's a cool story though, and I recommend it). Only Black Hand, Nekkron, and Scar seem to be at all lasting members of this "Corps," though even with Black Hand, it's hard to say.

The Bizarro Lantern thing was just a silly stunt they did way back when ... it's at best loosely and tangentally associated (in that I guess Bizarro Lantern's ring was made from the same Qwardian anti-matter that the rest of the Sinestro Corps' rings were made from).
Sinestro basically created the whole Yellow Lantern Corps (thus the Sinestro Corps name) by putting a bunch of Qwardians to work forging rings and then sending them out around the universe to those capable of inspiring great fear. He has the first yellow ring and he leads the Sinestro Corps like a dictator and general.

Well, back before the whole "Sinestro Corps" thing, there was Bizarro, of course. And on Bizarro World he made his Bizarro Justice League; Bizarro, Batzarro, Bizarra, Bizarro-Flash, and... Yellow Lantern! So he was pretty much just the Bizarro Green Lantern, and just one guy.

So when they did the whole Sinestro Corps thing with the new Yellow Lanterns, they realized - hey, we already have a Yellow Lantern! So they pulled him into it, but just as a short gag, I think.

One of the odd quirks you get in 75 years of history.

Man, me and HeIsBatman are just jousting to answer tonight, aren't we?

Anyone know of a must read series revolving around the Shield vs Hydra conflict? I'd like to read up on it in anticipation for the new stuff being released.

Secret Warriors is the series that I've been reading that has a lot of SHIELD vs. HYDRA stuff in it. Fury has a secret team of young super heroes that he has help him against HYDRA and others. Lots of great stuff and truly why I've gotten so excited about the SHIELD and HYDRA in comics.

If you can, start from the beginning, very good stuff IMO.

I was thinking the same thing, Johnny. :-P

:D Thanks! Watching video now.

...No it doesn't. :p It says what time they last logged on (And not even for everyone, I can't see yours, Tickle), but that's it, for me.

Notice under Last Activity, it shows what I am currently view. (Pretty accurate, I was looking at the forums page when I clicked on my name). Anyone else see this? It shows me this stuff for everyone.

Never seen that, I don't know what invisible mode is, and why is your activity bubble red? :p I've only seen green and gray.

Right now I have the web skin on the default jungle, and it looks like you're using the first skin, I don't know if that has anything to do with it?

[tcglkn]

It just started yesterday. :shrug:
Invisible mode is something you can turn on in your settings, and your name doesn't show up in the Users Online. It's red for me to show me that I am invisible, it'll always be grey for you,

[IAmBatman]

I think this might be a glitch in the system - you should pm LordRaidor and let him know.

Aww, but I kinda like it. :twisted: I'll send the PM.

I had this problem also and pm'd IAmBatman about it. Since you've got it too seems likely that it got handed out with the C3V permissions. Funrun said awhile back that this happened when the hangout was first created, so this isn't first time.

It just randomly happend though. Oh well its not very useful.

[Spidey'tilIDie]

Oh yeah, I often to use it to track down Griff and Bats when its late and we are the only ones on from C3G. Sometimes we are on sooo late that Hahma is waking up in the morning and gets on before we went to bed! :lol:

[tcglkn]

I could see it being useful when we were waiting on one vote from a Hero to cash in our design pass, to track what they are looking at. It is kinda fun just seeing the random threads people view. Too bad it doesn't show the titles of inner sanctum threads I don't have access to, it just says Forum. :(

[LordEsenwienIV]

I only think Site Supporters have that feature.:(

Hey tcglkn, in the user groups it says you have excess to the sanctum.

[tcglkn]

I became a Site Supporter long before this started happening.

[tcglkn]

Just made a huge order for Clix. Ordered almost everything that has been discussed in the Public Design Post, everything that has been through playtesting (except GA and Kingpin, forgot them), stuff that has been hinted at by Heroes and some other cheap ones that looked cool. Finished off my collection of released units!!! (Except Anti-Monitor, civilians (which I use KoW and Krav for) and the Sentinels). How was this possible, I sold my Fin Fang Foom figure. I'd rather have 60 more minis than one huge one. :shrug:

Also ordered a few DnD and other minis for Classic Customs.

What are you gonna do for Onomatopoeia? I plan on painting an Agent Carr all black. But it is not a racist thing if you do it in February. ;)

I was gonna wait until we decided on an official sculpt to modify.

Like I said, that Bishop figure could work. But also like I said, I'm not going to design anything probably until next year (Unless someone else wants to pick him up), and hopefully Batman: The Widening Gyre book II starts soon, so we can see more of his character.

Hey, I just noticed Troll and Toad has some Alfred figures back in stock (the 11.99 version):

Alfred 014 (http://www.trollandtoad.com/p237833.html)

[IAmBatman]

Nice find. It's a good sculpt too. :-)

[Hahma]

Just wanted to comment on the fact that it's freaking cold here. I mean sure it's up to 11 degrees F now, but it was below 10 degrees when I left for work a little over an hour ago. Mornings have been low teens and we get up to high of twenties during the day. Too early for this crap, usually Jan/Feb weather. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

End rant. :)
