Madisen

Thank you thank you one and all!!! <3 You are all so awesome!!!

I IS HERE!!!!

Okay, the Hubs and I are returning to the game but won't be in 'full swing' until after July 1st. We've got the new little hero here to take care of, along with his sister AND we just bought a house so we will be moving this month! Things are busy around our house!!

I missed all of you!!!


Here is Haydin Alexander. Born 4/29/10 8lbs 5oz 21inches, I had to have a c-section.

Name: Avante Guard ((A Top 100 SG))


Currently Recruiting: We are currently recruiting new members!!! We have an ACTIVE SG that has a mix of new players all the way up to 60 month vets. We accept all ATs and levels as well as levels of play be it the hard core gamer to the average weekender.

**The SG is being reactivated and hoping to return to it's villian kicking glory within the next couple months. The main leaders (Okami and Charleigh Blaze) had to take time off for the birth of their son but are now back!!!**


RP Level: RP-friendly
We do not hold RP sessions. Most of us do not RP BUT we do have some that do and like to stay in character and we play along with them because it's fun so I guess you could say we are RP-friendly - light.

PvP Level: We have been known to arena and zone PvP when the idea hits us. We have coalition members who PvP and have been known to take over the PvP zones or hit the arena.

Theme/Concept: Avante Guard has a laid back atmosphere where people can mix, mingle and team. We do not have a theme we just simply are and it's a concept that has worked very well for us. We do not hold meetings or have attendance requirments, we like to allow our members to play at their pace. We accept all genders/ATs/lvls. The one rule is NO DRAMA!

Activity: Mid afternoon to early/late evening EAST time seems to be our peek hours. We seem to always have at least one person on and upwards of 15-20 during our peek time, daily.

Requirements for Membership:
We have a 45 day inactivity rule, anyone who hasn't logged in in 45 days will be removed from the SG. There are exceptions made for those who have given notice of a break in game for RL/personal reasons.

We ask you play in SG mode and have reasonable prestige goals that must be made within the first 15 days of membership since we are close to capacity.

We also have a reserve SG, Avante Guard Reserves that alt toons are welcome to join without the pressure of having to meet prestige requirements.

Leadership: Charleigh Blaze, Okami Blaze, Susie Flame, and Void Crow

In-Game Contact(s): Global @Madisen, @OkamiFire

Out-of-Game Contact(s): I can be reached here at Madisen or on Avante Guard's forum page.

Coalition(s):
We have very active and friendly SGs in our coalition. They are an extension of our SG and members of our online family. It isn't unusual to find an all coalition team grouping and fighting baddies together.

Hero Dawn Reserves
Grey Enterprises
Legend's of Virtue
.Sidereal Residence
Rogues of Ruin


((We have open coali spots if anyone has an active SG. We love to have new people to join forces with!))

Other Details:

We have a little bit of everything to offer and have a great love of the game. Our leaders are online and actually grouping on a regular basis. We have our own forum/website page, Vent server, SG uniform. We also have a fully functional base that is laid out for optimal functionality with all the basics you'd expect. We accept alts. If you have any questions please visit our forums or PM me here or in game.

HELLLOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

That is all!

HEY HEY all you purty Rookerians! You know you missed me.

I'm just on for reactivation weekend but wanted to say HI and give you all an update.

I have NOT been playing the COookie game nor have I been playing STO. I've been on bed rest. Okami and I are expecting a little hero in a couple weeks and between migraines that just won't stop and a few other complications I was told I needed to take it easy and just be an oven. hehe He's due in a few weeks, we're having a boy so now we'll have one of each, and I plan on being back eventually, especially when Going Rogue comes out! Other than that, things are going GREAT here!

Anyway, I hope you are ALL doing well and having MUCHO fun!!!

Much love and hugs to you all!!
~Maddie

Well for those who don't know....

1) All 1 year and 6 months subs were RE-activated through the day that they first stated after the public out cry. Did I like that they changed it to quantites limited? No. But they still righted a wrong and that gives me hope.

2) They just announced that ALL pre-launch toons that were made BEFORE LIVE on 9/1/09 are now getting a FULL, FREE retcon (respec). So they are listening to the community and trying to do right by them.

3) The 'lines and cell shading' in the game can be turned down and tweaked so that you barely even notice them. I personally think the graphics and the costume editor are amazing.

4) The "goofiness" of facial expressions can actually be changed. There are at least 4 options you can choose for both facial expression AND character stance so you can costumize how they look. PLUS the characters actually blink, react to emotes such as '' and they'll smile or '' and they frown.

5) Full toon costumization. Sliders for EVERY part of your toons body and face. Costume parts for every part of your toons body and face. Capes at creation. Girls can actually wear nailpolish. They guys might be able to as well, but who wants to play an icky boy??

6) Travel powers at level 5.

7) In game vanity pets that you don't have to wait HOW many vet months to get? You can earn them in-game and some were even offered with the purchase of the game or by using Cryptic Points.

8) Even more costume parts and in-game items that can be opened via perks (badges) and cost the player NOTHING to unlock except the time in earning the perk.

9) Comical villians that make you feel like a REAL super-hero.

We have screenies posted on our CO forums... you can find it by going to our CoH forums if you are interested.

I personally find the story line fun and fresh and the character creation as well as the world beautiful.

I have dual subs, as you can tell or I wouldn't be posting here. I plan on playing both for each has it's own likes and dislikes for me.

Though I am all for everyone having their opinion I know there has been a LOT of bashing from CoHers towards people trying out CO and even liking it. (I didn't see any of that in this thread btw but I know of it happening to friends.) They talk about "loyalty" to the game. And I ask you, WHY? It's a game! I owe CoH nothing. I paid my subscription, they gave me game access and content... it's a business transaction. Gamers, true gamers, try all types of games and systems be it on the PC, PS, PS3, Wii, X-box, etc. I would never give anyone a hard time for trying out a PS3 game just because I LOVED the PS2. ALL technology is about progression and in my humble opinion, CO is a part of that progression that I intend to play.

*Now waiting for the mod slap and bashing.*

Morning Y'all! It's a 3 day for some!!!

OOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It's a HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!!!

*Calls D's fettish bois out to get the pool all clean and sparkly for one more romp in the back yard!*

I hope fall shows up soon here in SC... I'm tired of this HEAT!!!

Morning Y'all!!! It's raining here which is nice but now I have a head-a-cake... sigh.

Hope everyone had a good weekend and a great week to come!!!

Morning y'all.


SO we're going to have the hap-hap-happiest Rookery since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny F-ing Kay! WHOOOOOT!!!

Where Maddie has been.....

My head has been pounding the past few days... and no we aren't playing with our COokies, they are down until Friday for some, Tuesday for most.

But good morning Y'all!

Morning all!!!!!

Morning Y'all... I still can't believe I'm up this early.

Oooo Meataballs? I wants garlic bread!!!

Morning y'all!!! My head hurts.

*Pops some asprin and flops on the couch.*

*Eventually comes to and feels odd, looks around, rubs eyes.*

No it can't be.....

*Rubs eyes again and realizes it is true... she now has x-ray vision*

*Eyes the Nuke-Os waiting for them to jump at here the figures it can't be THAT bad. Takes a bite and feels a weird sensation in her tummy then passes out on the floor.*

Sack people just cause it when the donuts are missing.

MORNING Y'ALL!!!

I'm curious to know what Tyrone and Quee-Quee's vanity plate would say now..... hehe

Oooo cupcakes!!! Thanks Feddy!

You can duo it in 2.5

Thanks guys!!!

Pudding would be nice, or at least a cupcake.... hehe

They are catnip cakes for Neko-quin!

Oh the carnage!!!
