An article written with PURE AWESOME!

[Atlantea]

This is all most excellent, and most welcome news.

However, lets not jinx ourselves by seeing just this one crumbling of the corporate facade as a huge victory; we go wild with joy when the ink is dry on that document transferring the IP, and not before.

Now is the time to keep up that thousand-yard stare over the rim of our shields. "We got plenty more where that came from; now give us what we want. And do it before you have nothing LEFT to give, for we can make that happen too. Give us back the keys to our Cities, and you escape bloody, bowed.... but still alive to fight another day."

Yes. Very much this.

As I've said elsewhere - the gloves have come off. The war begins.

The gloves came off, and NCSoft flinched.

If CoH gets saved, I'd like to propose a new Temp Power:

"Realignment of Focus"

When you activate it, it unleashes a blast of TOTAL FAILURE.

[Illusionss]

The gloves came off, and NCSoft flinched.

*TAUNT*

You have been taunted, NCSoft. Hope you are IO'ed out: we certainly are.  8) Maybe that is it: they brought TOs to an IO fight.  Tsk tsk.

This was a great article, thanks OP for the Korea Times link.   :)

Love the taunt analogy and Realignment of Focus power!

[Mandrake]

Oh man... it is impossible to pick the best part out of that article, but I have to say I think one of the most nasty bits for NCcoughed had to be the analyst bit:

Code Select Expand


...
According to local industry analysts, the game has been bringing in 3 billion won ($2.76 million) every quarter. "It is hard to comprehend what NCsoft means when they said they closed it for strategic reasons," one analyst said.
...


Code for - you guys just made the biggest defacing of corporate honor and ignorant financial mistake we've ever seen and nobody has an excuse for you. How's that workin' out for you?

Really well done. Thank you for all the tireless work on all of this. No matter what happens it is really amazing! This really bodes well. Best welcome home / Christmas present I think I could have had! :D

QFT!

Love it! ;D

Take the geyser fx from water blast, throw some money in it... and the user self destructs while the money swirls down the drain

[Fulcrum]

Hmm... I can think of something I'd like better....


The caning of the people responsible for pulling the plug on CoH.  I've been looking for images depicting a caning to edit... but they all have their rumps hanging out and are unsuitable to post on the boards. ;)

The gloves came off, and NCSoft flinched.

They did more than flinch, they fainted.

[Segev]

They did more than flinch, they fainted.

Not quite yet. They're still trying to pretend the flinch was a deliberate move and that they're still in the game. Until they sell the IP, they haven't fainted.

[Mandrake]

FREEM!

[JetFlash]

Great article... Hope status upgraded from "none" to "cautiously optimistic" :)

[Omega Mark V]

Woohoo!

'Nuff said!

Edit: I'd have to look it up to be sure, but I seem to recall that one reason why Mercury doesn't stay tidal locked is because it gets jostled around as it passes through the sun's intense bands of magnetic force that close. I could be remembering it wrong though. It might have been due to something else, like being blasted occasionally by flares.

It's also related to a gravitational resonance with Venus.

Can anyone verify this?:

If so, that makes me smile a bit. If they want out of the market, fine, but setting the whole shop up and blowing it up with dynamite while waving their junk out the window of a helicopter as they fly away should come with some form of punishment, and if that quote's true, as I said, that makes me smile.

That is an image I will never get out of my head. :p

[WolfSoul]

If we get our game back, will anyone make a charcter called "Baffled Analyst"? :P

I'm going to make an angel character named Misty.

I spent an entire class reading pages on Mercury instead of actually listening to the lecture because of this thread. Thanks,  guys.
