Tonight Statesman gave a call out to all the heroes of Paragon, to help him stop the plans of the most powerful (if dorky) foe in the Rogue Isles: Lord Recluse! Statesman told us he'd give us extra recognition if we didn't have any outside help, and didn't let any villains get the best of any one of us.
Fatare and I joined a ragtag group of heroes led by the incredibly tall Gigantic-Moe, and we were victorious! Thanks to Gigantic-Moe, Dharma Moon, Matcho Man (he controls fire, get it? Match-o man? I laughed), Wayfinder, Summanus Tempest, and Lady Psi for their heroic efforts and unusually good teamwork for a first-time team-up!
Inter-dimensional Travel Can Be Hazardous to Your Health
...that is, if you're a villain, and the Liberty League is doing the inter-dimensional travelling to your area.
Last week, the Liberty League wrapped up its four week foray into the Shadow Shard, and defeated the mightiest giant floating bad guys in dresses that you ever did see. Again, sadly, I was lacking in the photography department, and these were the only shots I got:
Here, Dynamite Girl is telling Ruladak the Strong something about his mother. This, of course, enrages him, because it reminds him that he doesn't have a mother, you ignorant clod.
The Liberty League dispatches Lanaru the Mad! I have no recollection of who was on the team, but it was mostly Leaguers and a couple of friends of the League. That's what happens when you get lazy and wait weeks to post updates, combined with bad photography that misses 90% of the people you meant to photograph. I'm pretty sure that's Djundi on the lower right, though.
The League held it's 3rd annual New Year's Day party, and it was a blast as usual!
Sadly, I wasn't quite on the ball with the camera this year, and this is the only shot I got. Thanks to everyone who came, congrats to our trivia and costume contest winners, and thanks to DJ Templar and the Cape for the music!
Greetings heroes! This week we caught word of a member of the League of Evil hitting the big time-- Mind Stinger is now considered a maximum threat supervillain, so we're watching out for her!
Hey heroes! The Liberty League took a little detour to ancient Cimerora recently, and showed them the meaning of the word Justice!
But first, we warmed up with some swimming. Given the caliber of the threat we faced, we had no choice but to team up with a villain to take on the greater evil. From left to right, that's the villainous Betrayer of the Gods of the League of Evil, friend of the League Empyre, Leaguers Upshot and Dynamite Girl, friend of the League Nu Guy, and Leaguer Captain Karate.
We only spent a few minutes in the water, as we didn't want to get all wrinkly. Thank goodness our costumes are waterproof!
Anyway, after fighting endless waves of crazies that somehow managed to wear less clothing than the average Paragon resident, we faced the great Romulus Augustus himself.
Why is Captain Karate floating upside down? I don't know. Maybe he's meditating?
In the end we prevailed (of course!) and saved ancient Cimerora from certain doom by punching, kicking, and blasting the big bad guy in the face!
Well heroes, today was the big day for Manticore and Sister Psyche of the Freedom Phalanx-- they got married! A couple of Leaguers and I managed to snag invitations, and I took some pictures despite Citadel's "no cameras" face.
Here are the two lovebirds exchanging their vows. What you don't see in this picture is Punchin' Judy elbowing me really hard while I'm making gag motions.
What's this? A wedding crasher?
I snapped a shot just as all hell broke loose, and threw the camera to Synapse before rushing in.
He wasn't looking forward to being used as a human projectile yet again anyway, so he took some nice wedding photos instead, like this one of yours truly punching Captain Mako in the back of the head while the Back Alley Brawler prepares to accelerate him to escape velocity:
You're not going to believe this, heroes! We set out on a trial run of the most grueling task the city of Paragon has to offer, mastering Statesman's Task Force, and we did it on the first try! For those who don't know what this means, we had to face down Lord Recluse and all his cronies without any defeats, and with no assistance from things like Shivans or Warburg Nukes.
Pictured from left to right are friend of the league Evilmeister, Leaguer Dynamite Girl, friend Plagatus, Leaguer Punchin' Judy, friends PsiBug and Nu Guy, and Leaguers the Grey Cheater and Andora Adlet. Floating above is the Phantasm, who continues to show his distaste for our activities by turning his back to us.
It should be noted that between Cheats' pants, and Andy's lack thereof, Lord Recluse was so distracted that he never stood a chance.
The badge Statesman gave us all for this monumental task makes Punchin' Judy the #1 badger in all of Virtue!
Almost two weeks ago now, we had our 2nd annual New Year's Day Party, and it was a blast! Here are some pictures:
We started out with some people chilling out in the Liberty Lounge, having drinks, and listening to the awesome music provided by the Cape. Towards the beginning of the night, they played My Personal Moon by Madison Park, which is my favorite song! Later they also took my request for Man on the Moon by REM. Poor Andy Kaufman (no relation to our Andy).
Pictured here are the winners of the Silver Age costume contest! On the left is Zero Crossing, in the middle is Erudin (I think?), and on the right we have Atomic... um... somebody. I should have taken notes. =/
We moved to the Pool, and had a good time there, with some dancing, swimming, and of course the poolside bar. The DJ also played Brain Damage from Dark Side of the Moon, which I totally love, even if it is hard to dance to.
You can see Ascendant flirting with Andy in the back!
Here are the winners of the Heroes of the Years Gone By contest, which was sort of a cross between a tribute to classic heroes and a general Golden Age contest. Sadly, again my memory fails me, and the only person I can name is Ragnarocket (how could you forget an awesome name like that?) on the right.
If you won one of these contests, please post a comment so I can let everyone know who you are!
