Hints

That Mick fellow you may have heard about? Nobody knows who he is or what he's up to. You're just going to have to wait until he shows himself. It's been two years and he hasn't done it yet, so it may be a while. Quite a while.

• Your dentist may cringe, but indulging in your sweet tooth can give you an extra burst of energy when you need it.
• A warm cup of coffee on a cold night can let you keep going longer.
• The gumball machine in the pizza place is a cheap source of sugar. You get what you pay for, though.
• Plus time per turn is bad. Minus time per turn is good. There's a difference between taking more time to do things and having more time to do things.
• There's a link at the top of the page to your journal. Yes, you keep a journal, even if you didn't know it. It's got some useful reminders about the quests you're on and the things you're up to.
• Coffee is convenient, but there are much better options if you can find them.
• Not all vehicles are the same. There's a reason why skateboarders don't go much further than the neighborhood.
• Watch out if you get beaten up. Some of the side effects can be painful. Thankfully the University Hospital can patch up most of them.
• There are usually other heroes hanging out in chat. Introduce yourself, and you might get some help out of it.
• If you want to be able to explore more of the city, first get yourself some transportation. Second, visit the garage in your hideout to make use of it.
• When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout. Or check your journal. Probably try the journal first.
• Gambling is not a likely way to get ahead.
• I know most people don't read game manuals, but this one actually provides valuable information. You may find it worth reading. There are links on the top of the page when you're logged in, and links on the login page.
• You don't always need to go to sleep when you're tired. Coffee and candy, anyone?
• It's a good idea to check in with old friends now and then. They may occasionally have helpful suggestions for you.
• Rumor has it heroes who want to get around in style should build their own jetpack. Yes, a jetpack! I knew a guy who had one. He mentioned something about PDA, a pair of tights, some sort of tube, lots of metals, a few codes to process all that stuff...man, it was complicated...oh, and some of that stuff he even had to weld together. Quality stuff man.
