Hey guys. With monday being memorial day, are you all playing? I just found out ill be going waterskiiing and having a barbecue and stuff. I wont be able to make it. Sorry...

_Tonight a new team began. Loosly connected to the prestigous Avengers of Justice, and carrying their name. They started where the original AoJ first appeared. On the mean streets of Kings Row! (Not many people know of their more humble, and humiliating, beginnings in the sewers BELOW Kings Row.)
_Late in the evening after the assembled team members had already begun to get to know each other, stopped a few crimes, and posed for several tourist photo ops: Someone else appeared on the scene! A mysterious NEW hero! Seemingly appearing out of nowhere, but actually stepping off the tram from atlas park, she introduced herself as Gentle Touch. She already knew many of the heroes in great detail, refering to their powers and secret IDs casually.
_Midway through clearing out an office building infested with hellions, one hero shouts: "I GET IT! IC Touch, Gentle Touch!" The issue only becomes more confuseing however, when those who know IC Touch explain he has no known siblings or children, and is not much older than Gentle Touch herself.

Tonight was awsome guys! im so glad to finally start a new hero!

We really should get the last couple people on skype tho. its really easy, and its free! Dont you want to hear us making fun of you?

Now that we have started new heroes, shall we post some in character stuff? like the thoughts/actions/reactions for the night? Ill start. (ill probly also be the first to get bored and stop).

On an average week, the time with the static group is usually the only time to get to play CoH. I would just like those 2.5 hours to be "productive".

^I am in the same boat with ya there.^

I wouldnt mind hearing what the other guys have to say about 1-8 vs 8-16 membership.

I just think the 8-16 will allow us to not only play on the nights when several arent able to show up, but it will also allow some variation in the team makeup each week while still having all the benefits of a static team.

Also, I think any problems that come up can be dealt with outside of the 2.5 hours of play.

Anyone hear from MX?
I got a response from TristynD aka: Blind Justyce, He said he can be ready for new group tomorrow.
the friend of mine i mentioned got a character to 5 last night. I THINK hes going to join us tomorrow if thats ok?

I think we should go ahead and expand to 8-16. We just havnt really made it clear to people we are recuiting. teams like this always take off if given 3-4 weeks, and we already have a stable membership base.
Sergo sounds like a perfect fit. he likes what we are already doin. My friend joining would make 2, (was it IC?) had a friend that wanted to join right? and ive seen other posters on this thread that have shown interest in joining our next gen team...

And i really dont think we need to sign up ahead of time for a static team like ours. it implies your not there most of the time. why not just mention if you CANT make it? (theoretically the less common). where we supposed to start that? i thought it was only being considered once we expanded membership.

and why would splitting teams take a long time? just divide by 2. or pick captains schoolyard style...

Just my 2 1/2 cents.

OK, so my old job called me back for another couple weeks. it looks like i will be about an hour late to join this week (and next).
So, in this case I would recomend you guys start up the next Gen characters and i will join you when i get home. Just dont do the bank robbery mission without me! should be np since you have to do 3 radio's first.

Also, I MIGHT have a friend getting back into the game this week or next. he hasnt played in years, but im gonna try and get him into our group if his schedule allows.

I hope you guys werent just waiting for just me yesterday, and i apologize if you were.

This was my last week at current job, so next monday i will either be available all day or have a completely different schedule (i have an interview thurs)

PSSST! lightson. my 2nd gen hero is a a defender! emp/ice defender

Was mainly just checking to see if we are switching to monday this week. i guess we are

after reading the last couple posts i really gotta find time to try out your guys new missions. I just havnt had time to play coh at all recently. as u can tell by my constant 1-2 lvl lag
are the missions listed under player global name?

And finally: when are we starting the nxt gen AoJ? you know i cant wait. and have we started recruiting yet? I think we should. even if we are picking a start date a month away, it might take that long to get a solid 2nd group, and a few weeks to see who drops out before we even start could be a good thing. Let me know tomorrow!

OH YEA! HAPPY EASTER!!

Dang! i gotta read the boards more often! there was even extra story chapters!!!

Sorry I totally missed the birthday references on tuesday. Happy (belated) birthday guys.

We have had remarkably little conflict on the next gen theme and powerset selection. very nice.

Just thought i would let you all know (for sure) im going with an emp/ice mutant. you can probly guess who my origin is connected to... My name was take tho, so i have to do a little tweaking. I should have an origin story up this weekend.

I would also call docs situation unacceptable if my own wasnt worse! tomorrow I have the day off work, so i should be able to make it on time! yay me! Ill also try to figure out why my computer has been shutting down while i play recently. It was so much fun playing through each of the missions and then getting shut down when the AV was 10-25% THREE TIMES IN A ROW!

hrmm, regarding next characters: right now im feeling like playing an emp defender! (or maybe a controller of some type) its been along time since ive played an empath, and their game is very different from other heroes. I think id like to try that with a stable team. no origin ideas yet, but emp is versatile and can be fit into most any theme.

Im sorry I was a no show guys. I came home expecting to logg on and had an emergency situation to take care of instead. I even loged on to skype hopeing to do a quick explanation to Perdix cause hes usually on, and wasnt able to get to that either.
Sorry I missed it. I really should be there next tuesday at my regular time (half hour late) :/

My silly day job is taking up to much time. I havent had a chance to do a decent upgrade on my armor in a long long time
Ill be there, but my slow [censored] will be a little bit late, as always.

Ok guys, my work schedule has settled down some and I should be able log in at about 6:15-6:30central. about half hour after regular start time depending on traffic getting home. (earlier than I have been the last couple weeks, but still a bit late)

And this will be my schedule from now on. Unless I get the day off then ill be early!

Best I can do. Hope its not to annoying.

Im one of the ones whos work schedule has changed
Starting next week my schedule should settle down, but today is going to be tricky. Today Im going to be about an hour late (like the last couple weeks) but also because I have to fix my car (its leaking gas) I may not be able to play, or may have to leave early. Sorry. I hate being the unreliable one.

Then begining next week my schedule will be more regular with my being available to start at 4:15-4:30pacific on weekdays (depending on traffic). Thats about half hour late for our normal time

Im up for making new toons anytime! I like creating new concepts and building the characters. I tend to get bored with the later lvls when we're not lvling and getting new powers ect. All I request is that I have a none blaster role so I can rotate.

And If we change the schedule, I would like to request 2 nights instead of one. A couple hours one night a week is just a little to light.

Im going to be about an hour late tomorrow, and probly the next week as well.
I understand if you guys want to start Numina without me.

Thats a useful link.
Id like to finish up the story arc tomorrow, then after that I am leaning toward starting the next TF, but if someone isnt there Im fine with doing anything else.

Has anyone heard from Ghost Wrath? did he fade away?

Coool!
I liked how you didnt forget to show Directrix's unique style of heroics
(wish I knew what Pliska was talking about tho)

Re: Issue Eight

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!

Having played for so long now, your stories give me that 'in chacter' feel even more than playing does. Thanks Lightson! (just like readin a good comic!!)

Dang. I wish I would have checked the thread. Ive gotten in the habit of just checking on monday night. Ill get in the habit of checking more often so I wont miss next time we do something mid-week.

See ya all tomorrow

That was evil! sooo EVIL. Mary and her 9cats where just keeping us busy until the Cabal could fire off whatever that was that made us all black out...

Happy Thanks giveing team!

Shoot guys, Im sorry I wasnt able to make it Something came up a couple hours right beffore and I wasnt able to get to my computer untill now. I feel like a jerk for not at least posting ahead of time. How did It go?

So we were just talking about possible extra days... any chance of that this week?

I am in support of everything in Pliska's post.
