Post by: SeaLily on April 24, 2013, 01:57:01 PM: You may want to rethink your hashtag, it's pretty close to the #1reasonwhy tag that's being used to rally against sexism in the games industry in general- being seen as a riff off of that, even unintentionally, would come across in poor taste.

Otherwise this seems like a reasonable thing to try and get rolling for the anniversary.

Thanks for pointing this out.
I talked to a few people after I read this and feelings on it seemed to be a bit mixed. Some of them agreed with you while others could see where you were coming from but ultimately didn't think it would be a problem. I tend towards the second myself.
Even if we did get confused for the #1reasonwhy campaign I don't think it would really be a bad thing. They're all about promoting a gaming community that includes everyone, no matter their gender, race, or sexual orientation. And the City of Heroes community is the perfect example of that community.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean, really. It's not that I'm trying to be obtuse, but we are a video game community built by a deceased title that we're trying to get back online that, admittedly, sounds a bit whiny at times. Confusing us with the much bigger problem of sexism within the games industry isn't a good thing.

Instead, how about #9YearsOf or something like that?

9Reasons can only be confused with 1ReasonWhy by stupid people. (The number AND the letters are different.)

Granted, there are a ton of stupid people out there. :p

Twitter is like internet text messaging. You have 140 character (or so) limit.
Hash tags (#) are searchable things. So in the top search box, let's say you type in #SaveCoH you'll see everyone who ever used that hash tag.
You have a Tweet box (top left I believe) - It'll say Tweet. And that's where you type. Don't forget the hash tag. Make it short & sweet because hash tags also count towards your character limit.

And (not that you'll need it for these tweets, but) if you type in a link, no matter how long the actual address you enter is, Twitter will shorten it to 20 characters.

Post by: Maressa on April 26, 2013, 08:07:14 AM: Today is the day it all begins! Today is all about ways CoH was an innovator in the industry. If you're stuck for a few ideas I know OnRPG has an article on it http://www.onrpg.com/articles/metas-verse-city-of-heroes-innovations/ (http://www.onrpg.com/articles/metas-verse-city-of-heroes-innovations/) Massively also did an article on it, I think. But I couldn't tell you for certain. Can't wait to see everyone on Twitter!

Or people looking to be upset. I mean, I'm a giant fan for social justice and stuff, but the only way I could see being offended by them being similar is if the Save CoH movement was actively promoting sexism. But there's people that will get upset at anything.

That said #SaveCoH is a toooon more noticeable and it's already very established, and will show up in searches a lot better, so it's probably the better solution even if you're not worried about hurting anybody's feelings.

@thetitannetwork #SaveCoH #9Reasons #1: Sidekick system. Yes, six of my teammates are more than twenty levels below me. Why do you ask?
@thetitannetwork #SaveCoH #9Reasons #2 Separation of appearance and stats. Embrace your individuality!
@thetitannetwork #SaveCoH #9Reasons #3 I understand the words "free" and "expansion", but they don't make sense in the same sentence.
@thetitannetwork #SaveCoH #9Reasons #4: Global channels. For when you need to trade bad jokes with three dozen people seven servers away.
@thetitannetwork #SaveCoH #9Reasons #5: Adaptive difficulty. Mo' teammates mo' villainous punks to slap around.
@thetitannetwork #SaveCoH #9Reasons #6: Not-so-adaptive difficulty. I wonder if hero corps analysts still got paid after the fine-tuning?
@thetitannetwork #SaveCoH #9Reasons #7: Mission givers who embraced cutting edge technologies... like cellphones. #someonebuyFaathimaphone
@thetitannetwork #SaveCoH #9Reasons #8: Architect Entertainment and build-your-own content tools. #LF4firefarm

#9Reasons City Zones Needing Saving #8 - the Shadow Shard. Watching the Chantry bombardment from miles away never gets old.
#9Reasons City Zones Needing Saving #7 - Eden, the formerly sprawling neighborhood replaced by sprawling wilderness of Hamidon's creations.
#9Reasons City Zones Needing Saving #6 - Night Ward. Limbo is a popular theme, but it's rarely portrayed with just the right amount of off.
#9Reasons City Zones Needing Saving #5 - Striga Isle. Because volcano lairs. What else do you need me to say?
#9Reasons City Zones Needing Saving #4 - Talos island, for looking beautiful at dusk. pic.twitter.com/ij4w40z2yW
#9Reasons City Zones Needing Saving #3 - Croatoa. The stomping grounds of giant elks, walking pumpkins and lawn gnomes from hell.
#9Reasons City Zones Needing Saving #2 - Praetorian tunnels. So easy to get lost in, and find those who chose to be lost - or who didn't.
#9Reasons City Zones Needing Saving #1 - Atlas Park. The thirty-third instance.

Post by: DrakeGrimm on April 29, 2013, 10:57:52 PM: This is my City. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

This City is my best friend. I must master it, as I must master my life.

My City, without me, is useless. Without my City, I am useless. I must serve my City true, I must fight harder than my enemy who is trying to undo us. I must undo him before he undoes us. I will...

My City and I know that what counts in this struggle is not the fists that we throw, the noise of our blasts, or the holds we employ. We know that it is the actions that count. We will act...

My City is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its costumes, its enhancements, its maps and its community. I will keep my City safe and ready, even as I am safe and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...

Before $Deity, I swear this creed. My City and I are the defenders of my people. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the heroes of our lives.

So be it, until victory is Paragon's and there is no enemy, but peace!

With apologies to the Rifleman's Creed and the USMC, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CITY! WE LOVE YOU! YOU WILL LIVE AGAIN!

Post by: Quinch on April 30, 2013, 02:33:16 AM: Together we fight, united by a bond -
A bond of courage,
A bond of daring,
A bond of friendship
Without my sidekick I am nothing.
Without me my sidekick is nothing.
Only together can we achieve
What our cause has called us to complete
For our beliefs we fight
Against the menace that has risen.
My sidekick is my guardian,
And I am my sidekick's guardian.
With my sidekick by my side,
I will not fear death or destruction,
I will not feel the eyes of hate resting upon us.
I will fly to my cause strong and true,
Never doubting that my sidekick is there to protect me.

God, I'm so old.

Look I know I'm derp but I never used Twitter is there anything I can still do for this?
We're only a few days into this so far. If you still want to join in, you can pick up with the Day 5 theme and tweet 9 in-game events that can't go on without heroes (or villains).

Just start the tweet (or tweets) with "#9Reasons" and it'll show up in any searches for that hashtag.

And, in related news, the Pacific Ocean has been discovered to be wet, rocks have been found to fall to the ground if you let go of them, and politicians are known to have broken campaign promises.

Of course they did! Another brilliant move from the company that cares about its customers! (I think I know what the problem is....)

Repost of my tweets for today, I was able to condense my sizable list of favorite NPCs into 12....I can't go any lower I'm sorry. I might retweet with a smaller list to keep with the 9reasons theme sorry.

#9Reasons Arbitor Sands, Scirroco (may he find the redemption he sought), Hero 1, Tyrant, Antimatter, Mr. G (slimy bastard I'll miss you),
#9Reasons Malaise, Null the Gull, Aaron Walker, Dr. Quantum
#9Reasons might place Mr. G at #11 spot and put Maelstrom in #6
#9Reasons #12 Countess Crey.... I went 3 over XD
