Cognito

• I've already counted you in. As for the timing, sorry but I log around about nine most nights, I'm a pretty early riser so it's bed before 11pm for me and coh just before bed is bad for my sleep patterns.

• Kheldian's fine, you'll be our unusual feature aside from all of the strange personalities that is.

• I don't have cov, I played the trial and loved it but I don't have time to play that as well.

• Hopefully, we'll have a mix of IC banter and solid exp without watching for segments all night. If we're playing well we should forget about that.


Blitz

• Yes, we're meeting this Thursday at 7pm—I expect no guarantees just do your best to be there.

• Sorry PB? WS? I'm still learning the lingo.

• Let's try not to worry too much about lev targets. We'll be able to make exp up after the Thursday session. Look back to page 11 to see the comments about acceptable leving outside of session. I'll post something about that on Thursday—somebody remind me please.

• As to your last point about continuity I'm not all that concerned. I understand your point but I'm not ready for full on detailed rp yet myself, I'm keen to just get used to working in character first(IC play's the focus). Good thinking though!

Ashen

• Your points seem pretty sound to me.

I hope I've responded to all of the questions and comments satisfactorily. Sorry if I seem dismissive about things but I've discovered that it's necessary for me to take charge with so many different ideas and views.

All input gratefully received. Thanks.

In Character Meet Up!

THIS REPLACES THE VERY FIRST POST OF THIS THREAD

In an effort to promote In Character gameplay I have the following suggestion:

How about anyone who wants to play IC and form teams meets in Galaxy City at around 7pm, give or take 15 mins. The spot is in front of Back Alley Brawler, down the steps and in the open paved area. You could call back at 9pm for a chat. Maybe wander over to the GG crowd to say hello.

I've suggested an earlier time to appeal to people who want to get on missions and patrolling.

I hope this helps people.

X3 looks great but I'll be impressed if it can combine plot and action as well as X2 did.

Thanks for letting me know about your defender AT.

Dutch

Thanks for the info, great name by the way. I haven't read your bio yet but I will soon. Since I started all of this I don't even seem to get around to playing COH much, there's always something to respond to or read

I suppose it's all good for my brain, and in between problems I'm enjoying the process.

Battleflag.

Great to see your bio up Blitz, he seems like a dependable type. A defender I assume?

Battleflag

Thanks Blackdove, we'll just see how it goes. I suppose it'll take off if people want it to.

Battleflag

Hothead, Dante and Max, I've just read your bios, great stuff. We're getting a really ineresting mix of characters here, from the solid depnedables to the semi-crazies. Just as it should be.

MILITIA MEMBERS ARE ONLY SANCTIONED TO OPERATE AS A TEAM AND ONLY DURING THE ALREADY SPECIFIED TIME PERIOD.

You have been warned!

Due to an upsurge in crime levels in Paragon it has become necessary to allow Militia members limited out of hours operational time. This time will be based on your Security Level. More details to follow.

Dante

I agree, Max has had the idea that will make this work I'm sure. Your comment about EXP was a good one and I'll reinforce it:

WE ALL STILL START WITH ZERO EXP!

Judging by the intelligent responses I've had I expect our teams to be very effective and in role

Battleflag

I'll have a look in Galaxy tonight and pick a spot; I haven't got access to the game at the moment.

Battleflag

Blitz

It's up to you mate; as far as the details of I7 are concerned I'm not too bothered. It's more to do with being happy with the concept/characetr for me. If we're in decent sized teams that work together we should do pretty well regardless.

Battleflag

Floating

I've changed my very first post on the thread to support the Galaxy Girl tradition rather than detract from it. I hope this is a better idea as far as you're concerned.

Battleflag

I must say that when I've been in a motivated team with good leadership it's surprising how much exp I've recieved. Having said that, your style of gaming would probably have my head exploding, 3 hours is about my maximum session time. Oh you're a tough one Pious!

Battleflag

I've counted you and Cognito as already in Blitz, so that means there are four places left after you. As for your AT, that's up to you as long as you use the guidelines. Personally, I think a tank always comes in handy.

level-crunching or speed-leveling definately isn't lvl 6, then 10, then 12, then 14. level-crunching would be more like concentrating time and effort on hitting lvl 30 in a week's worth of play or lvl 20 in precisely two days.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, I can't even imagine levelling at that speed. It sounds more like hard work than fun. And how would you do it, I mean lev 20 in two days!?!?

Battleflag

Sounds like a good idea but I've never heard of Pocket D--I'm not a very experienced player.

Battleflag

So do you mean a slower progression than the one we were just discussing? I don't know what you class as speed levelling.

Battleflag

Pious

I'm not sure about how many levs but I don't think your idea sounds bad. I imagine by the end of Thursday we should all be at least lev, 3 maybe 4, so two levs for the rest of the week seems reasonable. Week two will probably see us jump two levs in the session, so that leaves three levs for the rest of the week. As you've outlined, this will slow down as we climb.

What does everyone think of this kind of time scale?

Battleflag

Okay, I certainly don't want to make things difficult. Should I delete my post comments? I don't mind. How about opening up the GG crowd to a 7pm meet aswell so people can do some early gaming, maybe meet back at 9pm? If we're familiar with being there at the start of the night we're probably more likely to return at the end.

Battleflag

Fair comment Floating, I'm just putting another option out there. If people benefit from it then great; if not, nothing's lost. I'm certainly in favour of peole going to chat with the GG crowd!

In Character Meet Up!

In an effort to promote In Character gameplay I have the following suggestion:

How about anyone who wants to play IC and form teams meets in Galaxy City at around 7pm, give or take 15 mins. I'll suggest a specific spot later but it'll be somewhere around Hero Corps. You could call back at 9pm for a chat. Maybe wander over to the GG crowd to say hello.

I've suggested an earlier time to appeal to people who want to get on missions and patrolling.

I hope this helps people.

Battleflag

Now that's a good idea Max, well done! We could set an allowance of one or two levels a week or something like that. We'll see what other members have to say and if everyone(or the majority) like the idea we'll go with it. What do you think Militia? I think it gives people the freedom they've been looking for without destroying the original idea. I imagine nearly everyone will use whatever the lev allowance is so we should stay roughly the same anyway.

Another idea to try to make organisation and contact easier is for everyone to put Militia in their team search comment; at least on the night but maybe all of the time. It would make teaming up out of hours easier.

Replies please

Pious

I see your point completely but this is a fixed session to avoid massive differences in level--that's what would happen. I want us to share the experience of increasing powers together and at an equal pace. Anyone who isn't enjoying it, who knows, maybe I won't, can leave. It's not as if you can't play other characetrs when you want and how you want.

I'm drafting an idea to post that's all about getting IC players together but without time or level restrictions. Thinking back, that was my intention to begin with but the details of the Thursday session took over.

Battleflag

Blitz and Cognito

Thanks for the interest. So far we have:

Scrapper - Pious
Scrapper - Hot Head
Blaster - Dutch Barbarian
Blaster - Dante
Defender - Ashen
Defender - Battleflag
Tanker – Finn29
Tanker - Lief_Roar
Controller - _Max_
Controller - Universe

If you look back to page 9 you will see guidlines for choosing an AT as I am trying to maintain some kind of balance.

Once you have chosen your AT please post your choice here so I can up-date the list. Then post a bio on The Militia thread. Some of the bios are very detailed but don't feel as though you have to do that much.

Our first session will be this week(Thursday 7pm ish under the statue of the female crime fighter reaching for the stars--Atlas Park. The details of when and where are in the first post of this thread. Things like team numbers have changed since then so use the info on page 9 for guidance in that area. Sorry if it's a bit on the confusing side but it's been a long road

ALL CHARACTERS MUST BE AT ZERO XP AT START AND CAN ONLY BE USED ON THE THURSDAY SESSION.

I'll assume we are up to 12 members now; 4 places left.

Battlefalg

Thanks for the comments Wonka. On the whole I think you're pretty much right. The very fact that there's been so much debate and discussion to have what amounts to a bit of fun shows it's more complicated than it should be. On the other hand, this is an experiment for me and i hope to learn from it. In the future, thanks to experience and comments such as your own, I may be able to improve upon it. As regards the restriction of one session a week, that was deliberate; it's something different...special, to look forward to. The rest of the week I can play as normal, just like everyone else can.

I'm not arguing with your comments, you're right, I'm just trying to explain my motivation.

By the way, thanks for taking the time to say that, I appreciate it.

Real life conflicts are totally understood. My best night to be on is Monday but fortunately I can do Thursdays as well. If all goes well, there's nothing to say that a similar group can meet up on a different night. I guess we'll see how it goes.

That was my original plan: to see more IC players! I sort of lost sight of that in the process of trying to get this organised.
