[7.2.2] "I just threw that one in for flavor" - Vector - 5/1/07

The revenge--or is it profit?--seeking Bathary Boy, StraightEdgedJohn, sent out a server-wide offer about an old version of his "Pugilist's Gloves"; it appears that he still has a pair from the old mold that was later deemed too dangerous, and banned by the Machines. It seems that desire for a quick profit--in the form of some unorthodox items--has inspired John to risk trade sanctions on his Gracy Heights turf.

Competition proved fierce, but after the expiration of his initial time limit, and a boot by the Machines, nobody had yet met his terms, and John took his wheeling and dealing offline. Apparently, if you reside on his server, you can still attempt to win the gloves by mailing him a text list of the six items he requires. Word has it that nobody has yet guessed all six items correctly.

   Sweet.  I wondered when you were going to use gang related collectors, Rarebit.

   Now I'm wondering when you're going to use the "signpost NPCs".  I think that's the term.  You know, the NPCs with the exclamation points over their heads who stand near the original "newbie hardlines".  Character's like Stick, A.J, Kade, Agent Burke, etc.

So is this still going or did someone get it already?

Nice scavenger hunt btw

I've referred to one of the Camon signposts in a mission. I think that's it so far.

Mhm.. those gloves could be interesting.

((Only available on Vector? That would be too bad you know :-/

The currently available Pugilits Gloves do:
Melee Damage Bonus (2%)
(50% Chance) Ballistic Damage 20pts: 30secs
Min Level 15

I can't see much difference there. May it be that the damage of these "old" gloves is a relative damage like firearms skill? Meaning that not 20 pts will be applied but in addition the bonus from ball dam %, etc.?

And, I figured out 4 of 6.
I can't seem to find any item which is related to the hadron with a zero baryon number (yeah I know these ^^).
Fifth bolt from the blue. No idea.
))

PR20 Is a female actually lol

i figure the meson rifle from 01 would cover this one.

Nope we tried it.

which version did you try?  the regular or the heavy version, or both? i was thinking it would be the heavy version judging by the clue, but if neither worked than im at a loss on that one too, lol.

What's the true name of auberon?  It's that faery right?

Cool event

I would have been one of the guys just hanging with John as those clues have baffled me

No, a meson is not a heavy hadron with a baryon number of 0. Except if rarebit made a mistake there o.O

Hey this is an interesting relatively inconsequential reward type event. 

 I was thinking maybe as a future variation you could use the collector, and the mob boss at the same time.  An alternative might be two mission contacts.  Have competing priorities for the two (possibly 3 in the case of contacts?), some measurable goal, and let players choose who to work with.  It would be a good opportunity to let players influence an aspect of the outcome of the game again, provide an avenue for additional content regarding current static characters, but not require any changes to the story itself.  Perhaps something similar is already in the works.  Perhaps it's not feasible.  Just a random thought I had, throwing it out there.

Satanx: then I go sleep, my mother is shouting.

rofl. That explains what he said to me when I killed him before.

No, a meson is not a heavy hadron with a baryon number of 0. Except if rarebit made a mistake there o.O

last i knew a meson was a generic term for any hadron with a baryon number of 0,  add on the heavy part from the "heavy" meson rifle and thats the conclusion i made, now im no physics expert so i could be wrong.

I have one left to guess right >_<

You are going down.

 was a pretty tough slog getting there , thanks to Frequency for the frag 5. anyone wondering what the items where it was Eagle Pin, Present, Blue Frag 5, heavy Meson Rifle, Regani combat Shotgun and tool object.

OHHH

thats what that was...
