Re: The cranky thread Might take several tries, but over the counter Hydrogen Peroxide removes blood pretty well. Don't want to soak the upholstery, any more than you would with water, but a spray bottle and a sponge should get the vast majority of it.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings "Skinny Caramel Macchiato" sounds like the "gang name" of a 2-bit Mafia thug to me.

Re: Musings on Random Musings Now wondering what the Original Cosine was.

Re: Attractiveness - Comeliness Vs. Striking Appearance Two possible answers to that: 1) Yes. 2) No, but I can still choose how to respond to that emotion. Feel free to pick one.

Re: Attractiveness - Comeliness Vs. Striking Appearance Correct, but it's still a choice. They just have a disadvantage that strongly affects it.

Re: Attractiveness - Comeliness Vs. Striking Appearance For my own part, I'd say the biggest difference between (for example) failing a perception roll vs failing a social resistance roll is that there is a personal decision involved in the latter. I don't have to decide that I've failed to percieve something. But when it comes to social situations with other people, it doesn't matter how good the persuasion roll or how bad my resistance roll... I still have the option to say "No". As a GM, the same goes for my NPCs. I don't want players to feel like they've wasted points on such skills, but in the end, I have to decide what the NPC's choice will be, based not only on die rolls, but the emotional state of the character and what sort of social interactions they've had with the PC in the past.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. Careful there. Start mixing kaiju with Greek myth and you'll end up with a "family tree" that looks like an ivy-covered wall.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. No, that's gorgonzilla.

Re: The cranky thread Really on the verge of telling people who decide to take offense at being given instructions by tech support to quit taking things that don't belong to them. Thinking the obtuse bafflement might get them to quit snivelling long enough to finish fixing the problem. The computer one, not the personal one... that takes a lifetime.

Re: Since CoH is gone... In short, it wouldn't be possible to convert CoH characters to CO, and Cryptic, having no association with CoH for some time, would have no reason to try.

Re: Since CoH is gone... Cryptic hasn't had anything to do with CoH for several years, and the games use different engines.
