Awesome job, Cherry! And great Video! I was still in the field when I got the link and stopped to watch it between calls. Shh.. dun tell anyone.

+ our Villains 28. Because my villain alter-ego will cry like a drunken monkey if we don't tally hers in as well. 88 this weekend!

1 weekend - 1 server - a whole can of OCD .

It's all over the news. Idiots! Pre-empted my interview with the Cape Radio. Frakkin' ET's swept over the Isles last night. Must have been close to a hundred ships. Bombs and bodies everywhere. Supposedly, those Recluse lemmings dropped over two dozen of the smaller cargo ships with their "bare hands". Idiots! No one's got hands like old McStudly! But don't you worry, sweet pea. I got the whole City covered. Just bought me a new Blastic-powered Raygun 8800. Got a good deal from GLAM ORO. Yeah, who's the man, baby? That's right. I'm the man. And maybe one day, I'll even make time and we can hook up for some drinks at the D. Oh yeah. But, say, about those ships that they didn't drop.. I hear they may be headed our way. But, we have the walls, right? I mean. We're on the right side of the walls. We'll be ok, right? Do you still have all those smokin' chicks working for you?

This doesn't make any sense. I got your message but maybe I'm not understanding what you need? As per your request, I did pull up all the documented flight paths of the Rikti invasions over the years; please see the attached files.

And yes, I heard about the attack in the Isles last night but the City has reinforced our walls. Why did you want to know which of our abandoned student facilities fall under those paths in Atlas?

Just if you're planning to re-open any, we can barely afford rent on our main buildings let alone opening an off-campus dorm for... your message said, "one un-registered student we're taking as an special-opportunity intern"?

Babe, we have more than enough new hands for the Fall training classes. We've never rewarded any of the little ones with an officers-grade intern title let alone their own place...

Are you coming down with something? You better have one of those leftover brownies and take a nap, sugar.

Love,
Cajun Cutie

[X] From: Sandolphan - Yeah, hate to say it.. 5:10 PM

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, hate to say it but you're right. All intelligence points to an attack tonight. It being the weekend, a lot of the younger heroes are spending their time playing games at that new Architect Entertainment franchise - which spreads us pretty thin. Twenty two districts and we'll be lucky to have reinforcements spread over eighteen of the busiest. But yes, looking over places like Atlas.. the Rikti have always stuck to the one weak path with -no deviation-. Per your orders, I double checked... and all of buildings with potential for irrecoverable damage are previously abandoned warehouses and offices that can't afford another beating. But hey, they'll be empty so no big deal. It's why I'm allowing your recommendation to not run anyone in Atlas but the standard day to day patrols who can contain any ground troops themselves. Right now, I'm more concerned about Talos. I'll meet you there early. 8 pm CST, right? So.. I'll be there 30 minutes prior.

PS. They cut the light on our 5.0 offices. I'm going to need your Paragon Express card.. Sorry, babe.

You have started your -Path- towards -Going Rogue-. Have a nice day!

Villains! --Redside-- Record! 28 Total ships dropped. Goodness Gracious!

Thank you all for coming out tonight to attend the first Virtue redside Drop Ship raid. The opportunity to do something in our ebil pajamas was something we were looking forward to for a long time :P

Some assembled as early as an hour in advance and we had about 10 full teams to start. Can't thank everyone enough for taking teams when our pre-designated captains filled early. Start time was 8 pm CST; the first Invasion sent us out at 8:30 CST.

Team captains included:

Cherry Nobyl
Exotica
Frenzystorm
Jack-Lerpan
Kurai Musha
Mad-Doth
Miss Honey Dew
Nightleaf
Rain of Radiation
Shivan Wrath
Stinkerbell
Storm Conjurer

Zone 1 garnered the most kills. Due the size, we had teams split between 2 Targeters - Kurai Musha and Miss Honey Dew. This did maximize our kills right off the bat. Thank you for that!

Zone 2 was Grandeville. Unfortunately, GV had 2 instances and the Invasion was only occuring in Instance 1. Many were locked out in our move there. We're very sorry that many were unable to continue and hope they can meet us for the hero raid tomorrow.

Now here's the kicker.. So we had a really great gain in Zone 1 and lost half our teams to Zone 2.. but villains are a plucky lot. Screw heroes. We don't get things handed to us. We always have the hard path and the biggest obstacles.. and yet, we persist. A smaller unit remained and helped us run into Mercy and finally Port Oakes for a final count of 28 ships. Hold your heads high. A hard earn is a lasting victory. <salute>

We'd also like to congratulate our friends in Victory who dropped ships as well. Cheers.

Heads up for HEROES. ENCORE PERFORMANCE tomorrow night, Saturday, 8 pm CST. ( includes analysis of last year and last night)

6 pm Pacific / 7 pm Mountain / 8 pm Central / 9 pm Eastern .. or early by 30 minutes if you can. Talos. Hill near the Tram to assemble.

Alrights goody-two shoes. So we ran this last year and need to bump up the body count. Tonight's run in the Isles came with a greater appreciation for accepting and overcoming obstacles. Last year, in comparison, it was smooth smooth sailing. Talos was the first zone then and hit as we were already assembled inside that zone. There was no need to move. The 2nd zone, Peregrine, was called after we'd dropped the last ship in Talos. And it was a quick effortless move due to the adjoining Ferry. So where was our obstacle in the Isles tonight? 1. A few unexpected quick moves and 2. The Grandeville lockout. No worries. There's a remedy for both for us heading into Saturday night.

1. After Wave 1 was defeated in our first zone, a call for a another zone came in. Most of our units remained with us but we did receive word that a team had splintered off to the new zone. We will stress that teams must remain in the first Invaded zone until Targeters call for a move. If we are attacking Zone 1 and the system calls out, say, 2 additional zones.. we'll need to remain. In essence, Targeters and not Zone messages will select the zones we move to. Losing one team out of 10 is not bad but it could have easily been 3 or 4. It will be better to wait an addition 15 minutes for a fresh start in a fresh zone than walk into a new zone minutes after a Wave has started - they move fast so time is fairly critical. We're best situated at the start of a path than center to end.

2. The zone which was selected as the 2nd, Grandeville, filled very quickly and locked out half our teams. In hindsight, filling in Cap and moving to Zone 1 was easy because it was assembly..followed by a sparsely populated zone. Grandeville is often filled with level-oriented teams. The only zone I can see us having difficulty with heroside is Atlas. If we are waiting for a zone to call, and if that next zone is -Atlas-, we will ignore it and wait for the next zone. In our experience, Atlas is filled with agriculture workers and the gates will lock quickly. So.. no Atlas.

Additional suggestions of note:

The targeters were having a tough time relaying information due to the wwwwwwwwwwwwwww-ChatBug. Rather than confused people, many of us were just deleting it rather than sending. I'm going to look for someone who can be on a voice conference call and type out Instructions and directions while the Targeters focus on positioning.

And finally. Less clothes. It's summer. Offices get a little warm. You get thirsty and bam.. you missed a ship walking to get ice from your fridge. Please wear just your underroos. Thanks all! See you tomorrow night!

Four hours to go? Gotta make sure i get my timezones straight!

[/ QUOTE ]

It's 4 am here in Texas now so it's 4 hours from now for me, yes.

Villain raid start time (if you show on the dot) is 6 pm Pacific / 7 pm Mountain / 8 pm Central / 9 pm Eastern.

If you show early.. take off 30-35-60 mins :P I do recommend showing early for team assembly. Plus, as posted before, if Cap is hit minutes before start time, that start time is amended.

I'm heading out to a late lunch / early dinner and will bring back noms. If you are in central Texas now, please head to my house in 1 hour!!! We have iced tea.

PS. You're so cute, KS!

Excited but curious how Spines will work. It's "per power", yes?

It could make for an interesting technicolor effect depending on whether they allow us to color the bulk of the common form (the overall spiny exterior) seperate from the projectiles.

Regardless if it is or is not, in cases like running Quills while attacking with Impale and Lung and etc... which color would override for the main skeletal form since the AOE toggle shares that large physical feature with the attacks.

At any rate, I will be beside myself with never-ending joyful squees if we can also choose the color of Spine's poison splatters.

You're back, Kant

Good to see you! Now my day is complete. Ravenlore is coming to film as well. She's been working on our VG vid and I'll hold her until Saturday for teh hero run as well.

I need to find her old Vanguard video where all the forum boys dressed up in full gear!!! It's a great mood-setter. The opening scenes with the spooky television and radio static.

Additional information and reminder: Villains, Friday night (7-17) meeting in Cap au Diable near the Cap Ferry (not the PO Ferry). PM - 6 PST / 7 MST / 8 CST / 9 EST

- Recommend assembling early. I'll be there at least 30 minutes in advance.

- Don't forget, you will need flight. Please see original post for links to temporary flight/jet packs.

- If we have less than 40 assemble, all teams will be consolidated under one targeter. Someone laughed at me for adding that caveat. So just a reminder, we are anticipating at least 40 villains and will have them broken down into two seperate units. This allows us to take both Paths drop ships of both Waves in a zone Invasion.

- Targeters confirmed: Miss Honey Dew / @Andra will be leading units on any northern horizontal and western vertical Paths (per Wave). Basically she runs any path that is top or left of a map. Kurai Musha / @Kegan will be leading units on any southern horizontal and eastern vertical Paths (per Wave) because.. she's always right :P

- Volunteers have already signed up to show early and begin picking up peeps for teams. VG's are encouraged to show and assemble their own as well. Webmaster Grave, Exotica, and Knightslayer will be calling for teams to run with Miss Honey Dew (character names). Cherry Nobyl , Jack-Lerpan, and Wrecking Belle will be calling to fill teams under Kurai Musha. There's always a chance we'll have more people than those 64 spots so don't be shy about starting a team if those fill.

- To help make sure we don't have lop-sided forces, anyone -leading- a team (whether you're signed up already or planning to bring a private group of friends, VG, or allies) should send a quick PM to Miss Honey Dew or Kurai Musha to advise how many they have filled with. It would be inefficient for say.. 4 VG's to attend but all follow Dew if Musha's group is running at 20 bodies. Thank you in advance.

- If I can drag my sorry carcass out of bed tomorrow morning, I'll be following redside Invasions to see how far the Paths (if any) have deviated due to the addition of MA buildings since our last run. Hopefully, I can get a good idea of how often zones are called.. 20 minutes apart.. 15.. etc. And while it would be great if there was some secret master pattern.. I won't hold my breath. -Random- is a [censored] of a factor when coupled with large group sizes but it can be fun if you're prepared.

- Because we are assembling in Cap, if Invasion hits Cap as early as 15-20 minutes while we're loitering about.. we will fly up to meet the ships then rather than wait for the next Invasion (not knowing how much time there is between Invasions, I'd hate to say "oh no, stand there and take it up the bootie while we wait for the next one"). And we'll continue to the next zone as well.

More raids available.

If you cannot make Virtue's run for villains on Friday night, and have a character on Infinity, please see their forums -link here- . @Mr. Awe is organizing a dropship raid Saturday (different time than our hero run).

If you cannot make Virtue's run for heroes on Saturday night, and have a character on Justice, please see their forums -link here-. They are assembling on Sunday.

Edit/Addition:

Dinner plans at 8 CST? Our brethren in Champions will also be assembling blue-side units on Saturday evening, an hour before ours (8 pm EST - ours is 8 CST). Please see their information -here-.

One day, when refined base customization allows it, I will commission a portrait of the most infamous PvP Virtue warlord for our halls. You'll be decked in velvet and ermine with a Nemesis staff in one hand and dancing Angels behind you. The gold tag below will read, "His royal Highness, the Supreme leader, Lord Xadius Xadley Xaddick the Xth. Born: May 03, 1975. Ruled: May 03, 2021 - May 04, 2021." It will hang right next to my embalmed carcass...

So yeah.. Dinah would kill me. =) Maybe we can bakes you a cake?

Yay. <passes out sheriff stars>

Just a heads up since there's been a few similiar pm and email questions:

- No holds needed as ships cannot be slowed.
- There is no "end" to our time-frame. It's really based on how long it takes to finish a battle and whether the overall group energy can sustain a wait for a second. There's just no way of knowing how much time passes between invasions across zones. Ideally, we're finishing one zone at the least. Two was great fun last time but I always see it in the same way as RWZ ship raids.. once you're hitting 3, your eyeballs are screaming "No mohrss.. peasss."
- There is no guarantee that our ideal zones (Cap / Fri and Talos / Sat) will be invaded on or around the time we are assembling or up and running. These zones were selected for as a tactical starting position only; their best set as a universal doorway to most other zones. Granted, Skyway, would also work but Sky doesn't have that cool dirt hill where we can arm wrastle gators while we wait for the sirens. Wait, I didn't tell you about the gators we're importing? Just for this.. With frikkin' side-mounted lazorz. Yeah, we're going all out. I paid this guy to dress up so it should be fun.
- Yes, there is always a chance we may start a bit early if the zone we are assembled in is invaded.. say.. 1-15 minutes prior to the unofficial start time. That's how it happened last time. Talos was attacked about 10 minutes before start; it was in our best interest to go ahead and fly out to meet the invading hordes rather than stand there for an additional 10. Calls in broadcast got most of the "on the dot" troops there for the bulk of the battle.

Oh noes. Nothing missed. I saved you some cake. <tah dah.. presentation of a perfectly preserved slice o' cake and pics of Chris Farley and a much younger Patrick Swayze>

I think if we burn these on microfilm, we can make one of those Viewfinder toys..

<facepalm> But you're still attending the dropship raid, yes? You posted there but didn't specify if you could lead a team. We are still looking for people to help coordinate and invite the other participants as they arrive.

Thank you greatly, in advance, for your time. <lop-sided halo curtsy>

Pew pew pew.

I'm currently incarcerated right about that area. Hopefully, I'll get early parole for decent behavior practices and organize an RL event for the next HeroCon.

In honor of Neko's birthday, Virtue server has been taken offline so that she may lootz all yer bases.

Thank you! Come again!

Jinxed myself! Now every account has been mapserved.

To the Neko cake! We can hide between the layers and ride this out!

Yeah. Definitely odd. I even ran them around to make sure they were'nt locked in some mapserve coma.

<leads army to Neko's birthday thread for cake and pie while we wait for Virtue's gates>

Not entirely. I have four accounts logged in and one shut out.

Happy Birthday, lil Kitty!

Kegan and I will run this after a few drinks settle in and even podcast the whole 6 hours to validate our time.

Bed soon. I wanted to thank you all again for the posts and kind messages in game and mail. Things like this, people taking a minute to wish an old woman well, keep me looking forward to new alts, adventures, and events with Virtue.

OK, so I'm not that old. But there's a reason we see more and more Co*'rs transferring to our gates. We're a people first server. <smooch> Night.
