So, several geological ages ago, I built Al McGordo, a Rad/Rad Offender. He was a great concept (radioactive cowboy from New Mexico, of course), and I really loved the whole eye-beams thang, etc.
Never did much with him — just never quite clicked.
Then, this evening, Doyce and Kate were looking for someone to help start up the Posi TF, and I asked Margie, “Well, do they want any help?”
Natch, all we had in-level-range (10-15) was Al (at 10) and Margie’s squid, Lunulata, at 11. Running with Hang Time at 12 and DeepFreeze Deputante at 14.
Which, given the front-loading “THOU SHALLT NOT FARM!” of Posi meant we were going up against All Purple, All the Time.
We slogged through the first mish (many Purple Vahz — thank heavens for the Holiday Spirit I still had), then into the second mish (“Demons, Mr. Rico! Zillions of ’em!”), where we decided that Debt was not a good way of life for the entire frelling party, and we broke up the TF.
A bit later, as Margie and I were running through the University Invention Tutorial, Doyce pinged us to see if we wanted to actually hit things we could actually hit.
So we did a mish in Kings Row, then (as I opined that I’d loooooove a travel power, even a temp one) the KR Safeguard mish – which, with a bit of fumbling around, we actually succeeded at, more-or-less (foiled the bank robbery, did one side mish successfully, timed out on the second).
And, by end-of-evening, both of us had levelled, and I, at least, was beginning to get the hang of the whole Offender thing.
Hmmm. Which, I guess, means it’s time to put Al back into the deep freeze for another year. 🙂
Aside from all the dying, I had fun. Would love to try this again soon, if we can all get closer in levels. I’ll stay away from Lil Noelle for a bit if you all want to catch up. I’m sure we can rock this TF at appropriate levels!!
Well, with I10 now out, I expect I’ll be a bit preoccupied for a while. But I did have fun with a character I never managed to make work before … so who knows?
