See? the one problem with giving someone a derogatory name, is that you have to at least bother to make it something that can't be twisted into a good thing. As an avid fan of 2e, some of 1e and all 4e. My Avenger status is Platinum not gold or silver, get it right. My Avenger likeness? Captain America baby. (but not dead. unlike the Cap) I am a champion of balance so characters do not feel utterly worthless next to others, I am a champion of balance because quite frankly the monster would attack the superman first and get him out of the way. And the come back to the inept heroes (read warriors and bard) later. I am a champion of a game that does not tell me -how- to role play as well as a system that does not have 10000000000000000000 skills which could easily be only a handful or so. I enjoy a game that has enough stream lining that it feels intuitive but is not needlessly stupid (3e in it's 'streamlined' parts is needlessly stupid) 2e had -too- many rules but at least it was somewhat intuitive. 4e is a very fluid streamlined but -more- indepth system than anything we have had in the past. I don't like classes that can do everything and anything at will (read caster of 3e) better than everyone. All of this is why I am a platinum avenger. What's your status?

#3 davidrmurrell Jun 06, 2008 5:33:23	While not technically an Avenger, see the sig below, I would say gold/silver at the moment. Mostly gold, but I am having to change more of my mind set than I thought. Clerics shocked me, fighters delighted me, and I am just about to get to the palies which I think I am going to like. I normally play clerics, because someone has to, and have not got to the feats and rituals yet, so the cleric does seem a bit limited at the moment. The fighter though, whoop! Whoop! I have this idea for an npc who uses and axe and shield, went through the powers and went ‘yep, he wants that, and that, ooooh I hadn’t even thought of that!’ Originally I was going to multiclass him with a bit of warlord, but I am not sure he can afford to lose his toys. Oh one complaint, the book lay out, especially with the powers is taking a bit of getting used to, for me it’s not instantly clicking into place.

#6 theanthrodm Jun 06, 2008 6:00:39	O.o How is this Off-topic?
#7 angrymojo Jun 06, 2008 9:18:00	I'm up to Adamantine status. Strongly pro-4th edition, especially since they're incorporating game concepts from some of my favorite tabletop games other than D&D. I plan on having a lot of fun with 4th edition, and more when 5th edition comes out. As for my likeness, can I be the Hulk? Because you wouldn't like me when I'm angry. That and the fact that I'm big and green.

#9 everdark Jun 06, 2008 13:42:01	Ok, I'll go with a Silver membership...I'll take The Sentry as my profile. I'm an old timer kinda set in my ways about D&D but I'll cut 4th ed some slack. I'm waiting on my books and prepping a campaign. B'sides, alla youse dat 'r' complainin' 'bout dis 'r' dat don't mean nuthin' t' me, only MY opinion counts...t' me dat is....
#10 drowbattlemind Jun 07, 2008 1:55:21	Mine? Electrum. Since Angry Mojo took the Hulk, can I be Spider-Man? I promise not to make any crappy (or otherwise) deals with Mephisto
#11 viktor_von_doom Jun 07, 2008 2:33:15	What about us 4hunderbolts?
#12 arderkrag Jun 07, 2008 5:34:05	Avenger status: Pimp, if such a level of awesome exists. 4th edition, honestly, is the finest evolution of the game I've ever seen. I'm Rick Jones.
#13 Cpt_Micha Jun 10, 2008 22:18:20	Mine? Electrum. Since Angry Mojo took the Hulk, can I be Spider-Man? I promise not to make any crappy (or otherwise) deals with Mephisto Sure thing.. but if you mention making deals with mephisto we'll send doc strange to make a deal with instead.. you know the fact he was a heart surgeon and all.
#14 farmer42_dup Jun 10, 2008 22:41:11	Right now I'm octarine-ish, approaching a sentient shade of blue.
#15 holy_beholder Jun 10, 2008 23:20:37	Someone needs to cut down on the Terry Pratchett.
#16 Steveman Jun 10, 2008 23:25:16	RHuUUUUBArrGLEB!!! Uhm, yeah, where was I? Yes, my status. I am currently working up to run a 4E campaign now that we all have our books, playing in a 3.5, an SWSE and a BESM2r online games. My status, I dunno Silver? Best D&D yet, but not he best RPG I've ever played... I AM DEADPOOL!
#17 nowiwantmydmg Jun 11, 2008 11:05:06	Assembled! Also I never thought the term Avenger was apt for the pro 4e crowd(of which I am a part), seems like the 3.Xers might have more to avenge. I suppose Defenders or some such doesn't have a nice ring though.
#18 thecasualoblivion Jun 11, 2008 12:00:50	I think we need two tiers. One for the newcomers, and one for those of us who were duking it out on 4E Concerns and Criticisms and took over that forum after it had been a stinking cesspit of hate for most of 2007. As for status? I wasn't ever officially given status. I was called an Avenger by the "villains" for behaving like them and fighting along side them, and I just started calling myself an Avenger at that point. Backdoor membership.
#19 Cpt_Micha Jun 12, 2008 20:05:57	Well I'm a newcomer so I don't think I can have higher than platinum. But I do have enough pent up venom from 3e (trying to make that balanced for 8 years..) Anyone that I guess defends 4e could be considered an Avenger on some level. (and lord knows we have enough superheroes to go around)
#20 narukagami Jun 12, 2008 20:17:28	Punisher here. I ask Pelor every day if what I do is right. I'm still waiting for an answer.
#21 dopplegangster Jun 13, 2008 8:15:15	I am Galactus... and I want to devour 4E...
#22 Cpt_Micha Jun 17, 2008 21:41:08	Well that's good for you. Good thing we have the Avengers. Your evil plot will never succeed.
#23 leshracnuker Jun 17, 2008 23:33:53	Well that's good for you. Good thing we have the Avengers. Your evil plot will never succeed. Oh really?
#24 viktor_von_doom Jun 18, 2008 2:46:08	Oh really? Would have worked better if you went Doom. That way if you lose you can all ways find a way to turn that loss into gain.
#25 leshracnuker Jun 18, 2008 13:45:55	On second thought: Nyaah, this will surely affect my inheritance, nyaah.
