Looking for images to use in Colbert letter
« on: December 03, 2012, 06:05:25 PM »
I'm working on a letter to Stephen in his on-air persona, hitting the points of "evil foreign company killing thousands of superheroes", wanting to be good consumers and have our game owned/operated by an iconic company (Disney), and our fall-back option (Plan Z) is communistic (open source, community funded).  (I really need a better word for that...suggestions?)

One thing I want to include is a picture of a hero at Wentworth's, hopefully with the buy/sell window open. I mention in the letter that the game promotes consumerism and entrepreneurial efforts (the ebil marketers). I thought a pic of that would be nice to include, and that's something I don't have a demorecord of.  Can anyone provide one?

I also want t include pics of heroes fighting iconic "anti-American" enemies - 5th column and/or council, freakshow (anarchists), the mob (Family). I have pics of the first two, but I don't know if I have any demorecords w/ the Family.

I'll post the letter tonight for feedback.

Thanks for running with this!

Plan Z is SOCIALIST!  That seems to be the buzzword du jour anyway.

Find out if anyone has a pistol's blaster that looks like this

That is Colbert's Super Spy that has his own comic book.

One of these babies?

really was considering the costume more than just the gun if you wanted to catch his attention.

Ah, a pistols blaster - you said "pistol's" so I thought you meant the weapon specifically.

Knowing Colbert, I am tempted to volunteer a pic of my Shield tanker's Cap - um - "homage" costume, but that might not go over well with the guys at Disney getting the letters for the Hail Mary pass.  :roll:

I misused an apostrophe, but I had the word 'blaster' right after it and we were talking about pictures for Colbert.  I thought you were just making a joke, I didn't realize it was confusing to anyone.

I don't know if the Retro set is accessible, but now that Codewalker got us access to the costume creator someone could take a shot at making Tek Jenson and saving him off to use in a demorecord...

(forgot to add the link to the thread...)

OK Guys, we in 24 hours over on the Save Paragon forum we got us a working website!  A couple more tweaks and we'll be ready to tweet the Sweet Baby Bejeezys out of it!

My goolies, I am so damned proud of all of you!

Right now Vasarto, I have to thank you in particular for giving us the absolutely neccessary nail we needed to hang the whole Colbert Campaign on.  I think if you can dig up screenies of the Colbert Nation Supergroup we must put them on the Multimedia page.

It is. :)
We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

kalynnda, I have not forgotten you for your initial post. 

DO NOT think I have forgotten that you came up with this idea.  Good on ya.

My only concern with it was that what we had was too weak to rise above all the other "Stephen Colbert, come help my school!" "Stephen Colbert, can you ride in my Christmas parade!" posts he was going to get.

We needed a hook that would be directly related to Colbert.  Once we got that, we were golden!

THANK YOU for poking the forum and getting us going in the first place!

There is, as long as you didn't delete your CoX client files.  Thank the MIGHTY Codewalker

And this will allow you to place as many of your toons as you want in a CoH setting from the Sentinel+ files  Thank the MIGHTY ducklorange!

You can do group shots of all your toons

Well, you can with a little editing of the demo-file afterwards :)

Here's my tutorial for that process.

Chances are you don't have it in the right place.  You can only run it from inside your City of Heroes folder.  So you need to put it there, and run it from there.
