Was a absolute blast, lots of wonderful people, many of whom were far more wellbehaved than the majority of heroes Fellus (and his player) have met.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats because those costumed heroes are the real villains. In fact, must of us are the saviours; heroes misunderstood for villains, labelled as criminals by the very villains postering as heroes. The very thought is most vexing.

[/ QUOTE ]


yep, what you saw there was a selection of the less "cookie cut" 'villains'
Some style themselves as saviours, some are criminals, and some are businessmen.

and any truly villainous 'muhahahah!' villains know not to [censored] on their own doorstep (or atleast the doorstep of a heavily armed mercenary organisation)

<ul type="square"> Somewhere in the midst of this a Coalition was formed between EVIL and TLF, once again i dont know much of this, Echo was still too busy behind the bar. [/list]
[/ QUOTE ]

its probably best not to say too much detail &lt;cough&gt;

But it did involve a quick talk on politics, and common goals.
And how anarchy and social discord, despite being ultimatly against the views of many of EVIL's agents and clientelle, does throw up numerous business oppertunities for us.

The event rocked.
I think about 3 plots ended up sufacing throughout the evening, and EVIL finaly got the meeting with the TLF.

Cant wait to see some of the write-ups tommorow.

Merc Ball is tonight!

The OOC chanel will be set up soon , and the G-invites sent out.
If theres any questions, feel free to ask when you get into the channel.

Yeah, really wish they'd stick in certain enemy costume parts or all of them into the invention system. Carnival of shadows female mask, Clockwork parts and the like.

[/ QUOTE ]

I want a carnie mask!

[/ QUOTE ]

havent i told you off IC about this before?
those things steal your soul.

Bad Echo, bad!

[ QUOTE ]

we need something to spice up Rping a bit!

[/ QUOTE ]

You mean like Gang wars, demonic possesion, kidnap, viral outbreaks, attacks by the Lost, Crey sleeper agents, dodgy realestate deals, and selling human corpses*?

seen all those just since i got back in december.
Some of us like to keep busy


(*okay, i know, moraly wrong. but in my defence, technicaly it wasnt corpse, she just had her sould torn out of her by a spirit.)

((Things are getting heated. I suggest discussing character strengths, potentials and weaknesses, via PM?))

((PMing now (sorry on the delay, i had to pop down the bank)

Just shout with anything in particuler pistol would try and find out. Theres a 20kb text file with most of Lunk's info in it (part of the upshot of a 3 year old charector. Lots of bumph gets added whenever a question is answered)))

[ QUOTE ]
I do hope there will be some secure storage for your guests to deposit their weapons
And that they are sizable

[/ QUOTE ]

Arcane wing, mystical vault, capable of storing things in dimensional slips, and only accesable by the one who opened that slip.
Dont ask any more questions about how it works, as neither me or lunk are very knowledgable in magic, thats Sarah's field.

I doubt you can fit a tank in it, but then again, you cant fit a tank through the teleporter to get to it in the first place.

So... now you know its happening, are you going to be slipping on a pair of RPing shoes, and showing up, bridger?
(well, its worth asking, right? )






for those that are showing up, a brief ToS type thing:
[ QUOTE ]
((IC terms of service))
All weapons or explosives will be left at the door.

Vistitors will be subjected to scans apon entering, and may at any point be required to submit to spot searches if suspicion of concealed weapons arrise.


Alchohol will be supplied on site, but guests are asked to not over consume. Anyone found drunk and disordely will be forcebly removed.


Visitors will be given name tags apon arrival.

Fighting is prohibited. We do not have any fancy power dampeners like D's, so expect any fighting to be dealt with more crude methods.

Do not attempt to steal from the venue. All guests will be searched prior to leaving.


((OOC terms of service.
as IC guests will be searched and stripped of weapons, if anyone claims to have one, theyre clearly lieing. if they produce one, its just a figment of your imagination.

If your asked to leave by one of the event staff, please do so.

Griefing will get you petitioned, will blacklist you on any futer EVIL events, and if conected to an SG, may jepordise their participation in future events connected to the merc ball/EVIL.

Please keep local channels free of OOC as much as possible. a Global OOC chanel for the event will be created. If theres any reason you want to show who in the OOC is connected to what charector, start your typing with "[yournamehere]:"))

Lunk laughs loudly at the mention of Pistol being a Hero not waiting for her to finish.
"Clearly, Miss Barzini, you are quite, quite deranged"

He stands, picks up his handgun, pushing it back into his belt as he stands as Pistol leaves, and calls after her "I must say, I'm greatly disapointed. I come into your home, i insult you, and refuse to show you one iota of the respect you think you deserve. And yet you retain your calm. Far from the angry young woman I have previously encountered."

"Tony, Rex, Stand down" and a speed boat engine is heard fire up in the bay outside, and roar off into the distance.

With a quick tap of the comm button on his coat, he mumbles into his collar "Normaly, i would call an end to this right now, but you see, i've taken offence to that talking gorrila Axel. I do not take threats lightly, nor do appreciate the manner in which he spoke to my wife. Have him delivered into EVIL's custody, or this may escalate further."
Pulling a small orb from his pocket, he turns to Succubus "Now, do as Eddy told you"

"Have a pleasent evening, Alicia!" He calls out again, before pressing a button on the orb, teleporting out before the robot can begin its rampage

Lunk pats the cannon sat on his shoulder
"Calm down, Succubus. we're guests here. We dont want this to decend into violence unless it has to"

"It would appear that your sidestepping the question, but no matter, im sure the rumours that can arrise from not knowing are infinatly more entertaining than the truth ever can be"

He sits back, with his elbows resting on the chair's arms. and his clasped hands raised bellow his face.

"As for this business of Edward's... I can honestly not see where the problem lies. If Chronodyne was ever take off, it would prove most profitable, possibly even cutting a large chunk of the Superdyne market held by the Marcone Family. Edward contacted your organisation in the belief that your.... substancial manpower could provide him with the necessary resources to break it into the market. Something he failed to do on his own. And it was your sister's desicion to take up this contract."

With smile, Lunk tilts his head to one side
"Your sister is capable of thinking for herself, is she not?"

Lunk smirks cockily "Would it perhaps be because you find anyone who isnt bellow you a threat? Perhaps you could answer my question... what exactly is it that the New Mafia does? So far i've seen beatings, rumours of protection rackets, and a hell of a lot of posturing. Yet nothing worthy of the major crime syndicate you claim to be."

He tilts his head back, and gestures with his palms upwards "so tell me... what is it you do? or is it all about thuggery, and wiping that shaved mongrel of your's nut-butter off your chin"

as i told mech, if it wasnt for the lack of time, thats the one i was going to choose.
Shame you cant have a dark/storm controller to make it 100% right.

"this?"
Lunk reaches behind without looking, and pats the robot on the leg
"this is succubus. she's... the creation of a mutual friend"
He motions with his hand to the guards as he reaches inside his jacket, pulling out an oversized pistol, and laying it across the desk as he sits down.
"so what can i do for you?"

A Heavy knock is heard, aswell as the muffled middle class English accent of the mercenary commonly known as 'Big Lunk'

"Hey, Barzini, tell these goons to let me past already... is this any way to treat a guest?"

The doors swing open, and Lunk, dressed in a long trenchcoat over his black combat gear, strolls in casualy, followed close behind by a assault bot, almost matching him in his immense height.

Which means most non-rpers HAVE to use PD's to store their salvage especially if they're not in an SG/VG with their own invention storage (let's face it...most tools aren't in groups) which inadvertently drags in the griefers and people who just want to hassle RPers 'because it's fun'.


[/ QUOTE ]

there are vaults all over paragon and the isles..... of course the tools arnt likely to find them, seings theyre not that bright.



i also want to retract the term "pvper" from earlier posts. it was just a general blanket term due to the number of people who are there to use the arena, and then spend their time griefing.
I know quite a few people that i would lable as "pvpers" who are actualy nice people.

im changing my Bio to "RP elitist: if im ignoring you, you just aint good enough"

[ QUOTE ]

Anyway tonight in Pocket D, I was rather mischevious... I used a method I got from PCGamer Mag, that I like to call Follow the Nooblar, where you simply follow the person who's causing trouble... simply "F" for "FollowTarget". Creep them out with your stare and lack of chat.

[/ QUOTE ]

i wondered who that was

as i said yesterday, i had that that kest prat on ignore. He's using the excuse of "trying to RP" to be a prat.
"/e tacks ur walet" then the obligatory attempts to hump lunk's leg meant i just told him to move on then slap the /ignore button.



theres a strange fad that someone pointed out to me recently.
theres a lot more people with "rp friendly" in there bio (usualy these people will try not to break immersion while teaming with a group of RPers, and on occasion actualy try to RP)
But theres also a lot of people that claim to be RPers, that speak in "txt spk" god mode, and generaly make an [censored] of themselves.

In my personal experience, RP-friendly people eventualy become RPers, and some of them quite good at it too once charector traits are fleshed out.
while [censored]-RPers usualy stay titheads, because thats exactly what they are, and frankly no one wants the hassle of trying to sit down and teach them, because we're here to RP not to babysit some noob.

Now im not saying we should all adopt one and try and teach them, because frankly, i wouldnt. telling someone that "LOL! " is not usualy seen as IC every 5 minutes is not something i want to do.
Im just pointing out what ive seen.

Hello to everyone on Union. I'm a new player to City of Heroes, but a long time MMO fan and roleplayer. Having quit WoW recently after playing since release I'm hoping to find some like minded people about on the server.

So far I have two characters, a hero named The Attestant and a villain called Perpetual Motion. I'm hoping to find either or both of them an RP based supergroup, so if anyone needs new members, you can count me in. Hope to see you in game.

[/ QUOTE ]

think you got the wrong thread, matey, this is for plot updates, not intros
Heres the definative list of CoX's roleplayers
Its not all of them, but theres a lot of them. Chuck your name down there if you want.

The Incomplete RPGroup Listing
I can reccomend a majority of those on the heroes side, pretty much something for everyone.

As for villains:
Super Villains to your left (nice guys. Reasonably new SG. perfect for your "muhahahah!" types.)
Carreer criminals to your right (and amendum Here ) (although we can be a little picky on recruits these days)

And if your a Thugs MM theres The Gang



and welcome to CoX

But if you'd rather be sheep...

[/ QUOTE ]

i'm a goat.



(okay, i was hoping i could get this back on topic, but thats the best it got)

Normaly, the occasional [censored] isnt a problem. most OOC challenges to arena matches are replied IC in the way Lunk would to some moron challenging him to a fight: "sure, go wait outside for me, i'll be with you soon &lt;continues to enjoy his evening and makes no attempt to take up challenge&gt;"

But tonight took the biscuit, wiped its [censored] on it, ate it, then vomited it up on the floor of the bar.

Why is it there has to be so much hate from the PVP crowd towards RPers? (yes, i know there was some extremely foul language in our OOC channel explaining my personal theory behind it, but i truly want to know)

Is it realy necessary to harass RPers, insult them, and act like a general moron around them just to wind them up?

And why is it that people who obsess about their charector's build, to the point of tweeking it to get that extra 0.1% can convince themselves that a group of people, doing something to relax and excape from stressfull RL, in fact have no life at all?

People like those morons tonight give PVPers a bad name. I know theyre not all like that, but i encounter a vast number of sh**pucks that bring my general view of PVPers down considerably.

[ QUOTE ]

As for PD vs GG - I've spent so little time in either recently that I can't really say, but I've seen slightly more tools in PD. That's just one isolated incident though.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, the [censored] percentage in P'Ds is growing steadily.
Unfortunatly for Villains, its all we currently have. (although we're trying to roll out the Mercenaries Ball trade fair again)

(conversation between Pocket D patrons, over lunch, may 13th.)

Council soldier:"Did you see what happened over by the monkey cage yesterday? That Mafia chick pistol was going on about drugs at the Chronodyne fellow... looked like it was going to kick off"

Troll: "Me no like Chronodyne. Too 'spensive and make little troll"

Council soldier:"yeah, well get this... A couple of minutes later the place is swarming with those mercs from EVIL... there was dozens of them, even that Big son of a [censored] and his wife."

Troll: "Me not like to be in her shoes"

Council soldier: "yeah. If this errupts into a gangwar, im stearing well clear of both Nerva and Oakes for a few month"

I even RPed with someone how recognised my (recreated) character from the American servers.

I was just saying hello and welcome to Union after seing your posts on the forum :P . Good to see more ex-virtue-ites.
Im not sure if i was about when you where, i emigrated servers ages ago.

not sure if you remember the Hero SG called EPIC? (one of the big euro RP SGs on Virtue)
Our lads (European Villainous Immorality Leage) are the remnants of that... well, the Villain side alts atleast. EPIC died with the transfer to EU.

But once again: WELCOME TO UNION! WOO! &lt;dances&gt;
