It's tempting, I honestly hadn't thought about the idea of making a Bay12 corp. But just making a corp for myself? I don't really see the point. Not at this stage, at any rate.
I've been doing some apartment hunting, even though I really don't need to. Both the Sweaty Palms and the Bradbury are completely packed, no vacancies left. I suspect this might have something to do with all the hints posted around about how they're the ones to get into for early/intermediate characters...
So instead, I went over to look at the much-maligned Astral Complex. Dirt cheap monthly rate, and the up-front fee is a pittance. I went down into the basement and found four gorillabots and two owlmen sitting there with nothing to do.
And then I checked out the apartments themselves... Went up through all three floors, read the tenant listings... And, so far as I can tell, there's not a soul living there. Not so much as a single tenant is listed on any of the wings, but the front desk says there are only 44 vacancies. Unless the tenant list just doesn't show any names, the only other reasoning I can think of is that only 44 of the 90 apartments are open to players. Unless there is no reasoning involved and it's just a goof.
Fun stuff, eh? I figured I'd just look at the cheaper and less-prestigious apartments because thieves would be less likely to try their luck on them. People who are secure enough in their abilities to loot the apartments of other players are going to target the higher-rent areas because they know they can handle the security. They're not going to waste their time shuffling through the newbie junkpiles.
Of course, I still don't actually need an apartment, so all this is fairly moot. Still though, interesting to note.
Now, if other people are actually interested in putting together a Bay12 corp, what do y'all think it should be named? Or should we even dare attempt it?
As for other corps, I can't remember the people who said that TMI and HBARN were to be avoided at all costs... What was interesting was that in both corps were named each time. I can say that I personally did not agree with TLE, but they're a fine match for people who aren't, well, me. To each their own. And Vayra was fairly amicable, plus I helped out Dude from TLE after I'd left, and he was a nice enough fellow. He wasn't particularly enamored with TLE at that point though.
I've been thinking a bit more about Stubbs, fiddling with some of the mutations... I'm interested in seeing what theoretical character I wind up with.
EDIT: Would someone mind clarifying something for me? I know that certain mutations "upgrade" into stronger/different variants, but does that they replace or add on to the previous mutation? Like with Firewalker-Solar Sponge. Firewalker has 5-8 burn soak, Sponge has 1-3. Does that mean getting the Sponge mutation will give you 1-3 total or 6-11 total?
EDIT2: Zombie + Headbutt... Zombies supposedly take quadruple damage for headshots, does that mean they'll seriously mess themselves up for headbutting someone?
