Speed Boost + Accelerated Metabolism means absolutely no endurance worries, plus frequent use of irradiate and cosmic burst. We were tearing through missions, including that real long Family mission with the 3 bombs and 7 hostages. .

I noticed how every one left right when I got on, too.

Dimsdale is a couple levels lower than ERG-4 and Eye, but would love to get in on more missions.

I’m sorry, there’s only room for one rodent, here. 😃

Sorry about that **Maus**. But you came on right before 7pm PT, when typically both me and **D\_Odds** have to log off.

I’ll always team up with CECIL folks, so just send me a tell if you seen me on. **CG** , I’d love to take _Eye_ through the War Wall mission. My Phantom Army, Flash, and Repel should do nicely for protecting the machines. I’ll need to be sidekicked, though. And _Kit_ can help you with your Crey’s Folly mission.

Hey everybody – head on over to the [More Photos!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=321058) thread in MPSIMS and post your pics. I want to see what ya’ll look like.

Mine’s there. 😃

Anyone with toons on Virtue in the low-mid 20s want to give me a hand with Maestro? My third 20 (Brian Bloodaxe, Inv/Axe Tanker) is my first time doing all the Striga content and I just got him last night. I expected Maestro to be another Elite Boss instead of an Archvillian so I tried going solo. Took out everything in his base except for him–he has loads of hit points and regenerates faster than I can hit him.

I can give you a hand. I have a fire/ice tanker. Now that I have burn, I can erally dish out the damage. Combine that with ice patch, and you have one of the best combos in the game.

The toon is Teel’ana, and I’ll be on tonight in the 6-10 EST range. I’ll also be on the CECIL channel as bouv.

I may be around tonight, and if I am, I could RSK Eternal Ninja to you. He could use the extra cash…

If I’m on, give me a shout. Dimsdale (Spines/regen) is right in the correct range for you.

Jingo Belle is 30 but she’s got some debt to work off if you want to exemp her.

I’m starting to miss playing her anyway. I’ve been concentrating on my Champion characters and the super group there - which is taking off by leaps and bounds.

Uhh… Unpacking boxes and filling out mover’s insurance forms, which he really needed to do about two months ago.

If it helps, I would have MUCH rather have been playing CoH. On the bright side, we can now get both cars in the garage.

I’m in class…Brainiac4’s character in that range is a fire controller, Dr. Infernal.

And I’d post a photo, if I could find one of the two of us. Unfortunately someone is always holding the camera.

**Dangerosa** , get one of the carpet crawlers to do it. 😃

I feel that the act of taking a photograph steals away one’s soul, and thus I avoid all cameras.\*

- That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

We have some lovely pictures the kids have taken (ah, digital, no wasted film when you hand the camera to the four year old)! The are all low angle, which makes me look like I have seven chins, (better than the hubby, who gets eight) and rather blurry. And none of them have both of us in it.

We aren’t all going to be around for a few days, but I’ll see what we can do.

Well hopefully, I will someday be able to play again. My weekend was too busy, but before and after that, all I can seem to do is lock up/crash my system.

And it is annoying to start a ticket with CoH support, attach a DxDiag to it (cause you know they are going to want it), and in their reply, they ask you to run a DxDiag and attach it to your reply so they can see what is going on in your system. :rolleyes:
