Premise:
They are dividing up the game world and, as the die-hard few, we get to take what we want as a souvenir.
Rules:
* First come, first served. Once an item is gone it can not be claimed by someone else.
* Objects only. You can not take people, this includes sentient robots. Basically we're talking scenery items.
* Limit: One per customer. You can only take one object. Said object can't be comprised of several smaller objects... so no saying "I'll take Atlas Park."
* Doc Aeon has lent us his shrink ray so size is not an issue.
Tell us what you'd take, why and what you'd do with it.
I'll go first.
I'm taking the Atlas Statue.
I will shrink it down and put it in my pocket. I'm going to smuggle it to New York City, take it to Ellis Island and re-enlarge it so he and Lady Liberty are cuddling close together.
Let them forget the game NOW.
I would take the fire pits on the steps up to City Hall in Atlas. I would use them to light my back yard (and stand in them to stay warm). Many times I would log standing the those so they have sentimental value for me.
If'n y'all don't mind, I'd like to take Cap Au Diable home. I loved watching the skies through that silhouette.
M1 statue from Galaxy City. Patron saint of tankers would look perfect out by the pool.
The Time Portal in Vernon von Grun and Operative Grillo's lab in Grandville will be mine, thanks.
That way I can plot a scheme to return to a time period prior to CoH's closure, and force NCsoft to sell the IP at channelgun-point. I may not be able to save the game in our timeline, but at least one parallel history will never have to endure CoH's permanent closure.
Screw it, I'm grabbing the pillar of ice and flame out of my SG's base. Time to mend some things. 8)
I'll take all the Exploration badges. Because I loved to hunt them while listening to my favorite music and enjoying the in-game landscape.
Nemesis' Brass Warpony! (I don't think it's sentient, although you never know when the Canned Ham is involved.)
Other wise, I think I'll hang Mot's Skull on my mantle...
Warwolf whistle!
Liberty's pedestal comes with me. I need something to stand on and feel important.
I'm takin' Pocket D and you can't stop me! :P
Either that or the Midnighter Mansion in Night Ward.
I'll take the big pool at Ouroboros. 8)
I'll take the big penny behind Blue Steel's spot in the Row. I'll shrink it down so it seats eight people and use it as a gaming table.
(It will probably still have Blue Steel's reflection in it, too. Because even a reflection of Blue Steel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLoUm2SmVFg) can't be defeated.)

By the rules, you cannot take Pocket D. :P
I want the monkey fight cage, if I can have the monkeys as well.
Otherwise I want one of the portals so i can be a dimensional TRAVELLER. ;)
Drenched Donuts from Faultline.
Apart from being the location of one of the best badges in the game, it was also the punchline to one of the best machinima made in game.
It was also the center of my favorite zone in the game; the home town of the last character I got to lv 50.
"We're a lot alike, Overbrook. Broken, but not beyond hope."
Paragon Dance Party.
It might be bending the rules a bit, but I'd take one of the AE buildings and share it with other people who'd create more stories.
If that's not allowed, give me a rocket board. Because it's a rocket board!
I also am taking Manticore's Mansion. that way NCSoft's bankers can't forclose it.
Noooooo!
If you take Manticore's Mansion, which dumpster will The Unknown Trio raid for new base decor?
I'll take that Atlas statue with globe in front of City Hall. Sitting on top was the closest I could get to the North Pole in game.
For my memento....I'll take the company marker between the Portal Corporation buildings on Peregrine Island - where Castle stood.

I didn't say anything about the manticave you notice ;)
The Lighthouse from Siren's Call.
I had a lot of fun teleporting people up there on my stalker.
I'll take the farm at Croatoa, and some of the woods around it too... I'll always have plenty of pumpkins for Autumn and Halloween...
I'll claim one of the Shadow Shard wormholes. I've always like to just stare at them and shut off my mind.
I'll take The Hill next to the tram terminal on Talos Island. Y'know, the one where everyone would gather to fight Rikti/Zombie invasions/infestations while turning my computer into a (slow) slideshow factory. :P
I'll plunk it down next to Area 51 (don't tell ME it doesn't really exist!), and sell popcorn, lawn chairs and disposable cameras to the tourists come to watch the inevitable Doomed-To-Fail Alien Invasions. After all, even without heroes, the Home Team always wins.
Quote from: Ahmad on August 23, 2013, 04:19:22 AM

Not to worry, the CIA confirmed that it
does exist (http://www.nbcnews.com/science/area-51-its-purpose-declassified-no-ufos-lots-u-2-6C10931555).
I want one of the tram stations.
There's an area in Perez Park, not too far from the boathouse. It's mostly a big hummock of trees and dirt with fractured bridges and hydra roaming. There's fireflies, and ferns. I'd want that.
My first thought was The Big Red Ball, but since I don't think it was ever actually added, I'll take a Shivan Shard instead, but only if I get more than five uses out of it. Something about a loyally obedient giant green blob alien that can be summoned at will seems appealing to me... Especially for those days when you just don't want to deal with people, since they'd all be running away in terror...
I'm not a villain, honest! :P

Grrr
Okay I'll take Paladin.
(https://paragonwiki.com/w/images//d/d6/Paladin.jpg)
At the very least it'll keep people from parking in either of my spaces at home.
I'll take the hidden area in Fault Line. You all know what I'm talking about. MINE.

Try again.
I am claiming the TUNNEL system (the Trans-Universal Networking Nexus and Extradimensional Link). I think this qualifies as a single object with tendrils leading to its portals ( ' :
For the first 14 portals (technically there are 19 as some locations had doubles for heroes and villians), I will be placing stops at:
1. Home,
2. Work,
3 & 4. Parents' homes in New York,
5. Nassau Colisseum/Barclay's Center in Brooklyn (home/future of the New York Islanders)
6. Orlando,
7. Las Vegas,
8. San Francisco
9. Oahu
10. Dublin, Ireland
11. Rome, Italy
12. Tokyo, Japan
13. O'Hare international airport (for access to just about everything else)
14. NcSoft Headquarters (so I can harass them daily)
15. reserved for future use
16. reserved for future use
17. reserved for future use
18. reserved for future use
19. reserved for future use.
No more traffic for me!

*evil cackle*
I'll take a Pocket D VIP Pass, thanks. So I can get back to Paragon. :p
Is the Well of the Furies an acceptable item? ;D
Applications to become your character coming soon!

Don't you remember the old destroy the desk mission? The one with the regenerating desk that defenders could not destroy? I remember having to ask a scrapper and blaster to come in and help me. Apparently the Devs made a mistake and gave it 100,000 points instead of 100. I know as a defender while the error was in place I could not complete the mission. It would regenerate faster than I could destroy it. This was in the Issue 2-4 era.
I'll grab up the Rikti Mothership from the warzone, fix it up and then park it permanently over the NCSoft headquarters building a la "Independence Day". Might even dispatch U'Kon Gr'ai to head down and chat with management...
EDIT: I know I can't take people, let's just assume he came with the ship =D
Quote from: Ironwolf on August 23, 2013, 05:25:44 PM

Ah, that explains it. I didn't start playing until Issue 5.
I claim Grandville Tower.

Arachnos for life!
:D
I'm taking the Oroboros platform. (As well as the little floating islands, the endless sea and the rest of that zone... because otherwise I have nowhere to keep the darn thing. It's huge. <_<)
(https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.domuscygna.com%2Fhosting%2FCityOfHeroes%2FOuphGalleryThread%2F12-WhereDoesHeGetHisToys.jpg)
If I can't have that... guess 'd have to go with the Mitcher. Kes really did think it was the best toy ever.
(https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.domuscygna.com%2Fhosting%2FCityOfHeroes%2FOuphGalleryThread%2F4-TheBestToyEver.jpg)
The flag on top of City Hall, the one made from State's cape. He deserved a better ending than he got, and that shouldn't just be tossed on the scrapheap.
Sign me up for the Blimp touring around AP.
Countless times I flew up to it trying to hitch a scenic ride around the zone... ;D
Alas, like many of the game's objects, they never made it so you could stand on it.
I would definitely rectify that dev oversight, and offer scenic tours.
Cheers,

Oh, and I will take that bridge in IP, just so I could clean it up some.

I know my characters each seemed to have their own. (Whether they wanted one or not, really.) So if they all took theirs with them when they came to live with me, then I should have about... 40+ rocket boards kicking around here somewhere. And approximately eighteen bajillion flying discs. Cool.

Hang on a sec, I've got to go check the shed real quick. For... unrelated reasons. I'm totally
not looking for my team teleporter flyer, I swear.

You know, my characters only brought an unlimited supply of frisbees with all of them . . . xD
The ski slopes and Chalet (as an independent chunk of land, I can't believe these weren't already claimed!)
I live in an area where snow is uncommon. I loved the chalet and slopes for the snow, the sounds, and the winter feel I just don't get here.
While I can't take the Super Speed and Super Jump now, I can take the slopes and chalet area ;)

Either one of those would make my life much easier in terms of commuting to work. :D
Ms Liberty's cell phone number.
Quote from: Noyjitat on August 24, 2013, 02:30:50 PM
Ms Liberty's cell phone number.
I suppose that's marginally less creepy than wanting her costume.
I'd take the Galaxy Girl statue. It reminds me of all the characters I created since that statue looming in the background was the first thing most of them saw when appearing in Paragon.
The Black Helicopters.
I'm going to claim the upper blueside bar in Pocket D if no one else has.
They told me I was wrong...

I'll take one of those fancy phones Masterminds used to call in their numerous Mercenary Henchmen. Sure they're weak but I can always call more! Muhahaha!

Base with Editing program. Unlimited Influence for the perfect build would be bonus.
I miss my bases.
Don't know if this has been said yet, but I'd want Cimerora. It was one of my favorite places--and if I couldn't have that, I'd take the Sibyl Temple with Solaris and Airlia. One of my all time favorite zones. I suppose I'd need the Ouro crystal to get me there...
But I wouldn't mind either the hero base or villain base either... I miss them. :(

Dammit U-mann, I was sitting on that statue, too. Fine. Now I'll have to think of something else. I kinda want to take a portal from Portal Corp., or maybe even the Giant Robot under Striga Island, but I guess I'll take the wall near the IP gate in King's Row because it must be the strongest wall ever to hold up so many Tanks for 8 years.
Waves. Lol.
Reading through this I feel like I aimed low by picking a tram station. .__. Whatever, time to boot up Icon and make all my characters have a party in it. :3
I will lay claim to the Volcano Base in Striga, complete with the MegaMech. Actually I just want it for the MegaMech. ;D
