... or am I mixing up my English use of such things?

Yea, I think we're saying the same thing. Not this Sunday, but next Sunday.

I think they have a supergroup global chat channel you could join. Better yet, if you post your global address, someone should be able to add you, then see whenever you're logged in and vice versa.

Hi, there was a superteam formed here on Defiant a long while ago. It was a struggle to form it, here on the forums, but eventually it kicked off with four friends of mine and four others. The leader worked hard and even leveled himself and most of the team into the late thirties, but inevitably, people simply could not commit. They lost interest in the game mechanics or the repetition of the same old thing, same old team got to them, or maybe just that they had to return to playing their 'main' hero. Thats my guess at why it didnt work. The theme was loose - fiery individuals, with fire control abilities. Essentially a Fire/Rad Controller superteam and an SG called Children of the Phoenix. Although it was fun while it lasted, it could have been much, much better. Only a fifth of the team's full potential was explored.

On the flip side, a sucessful and themed superteam however is my villain group; the Gang on the Union server. Criminal masterminds from all around the world in one underground syndicate. I think the main reason it's more successful than most is that its very loose; all that is expected from each member are Thugs henchmen. (Extra leadership buffs also prefered).

Something that I've learnt, is that when a supergroup is funny, entertaining, [b]enjoyable[b], constant with teaming and efficient at 'progressing' through levels, it wont fail. Hope thats good advice/information. Bye.

Next Sunday? Sure thing, I'll tell the boys. By the way, way cool poster design.

Why the face? Pets do little except cause more lag for people.

Nothing serious FFM, I was just poking fun at Archer. Cancelling pets summoning in D's is a fair suggestion.

and no pets rule too.

Been asking with little effect for a coalition with the Dirty Hand Prints. The Gang only really teams with other thugs MM but it'd be an honour to meet DHP.

...As for Dragonfly, I am by far not well enough versed in her background to make a comment and much less to pass a judgment. I didn't mean to have a go at her. To my small experience her inadequacy to function properly in social context comes from her racial and educational background and is fairly consistent.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, totally sorry. My bad. I thought you was refering to Dragonfly. In fact, that is rather surprisingly a very accurate understanding of the girl, despite your limited experience with her. You're good!

Every little helps in my opinion. Then again, I team with the Gang, who stack all sorts of leaderships, as you know, so the overall Maneuvers buffs adds up very nicely indeed. You're /Dark so it'd go well with your Shadow Fall as well, including any other powers of +def you might have.

Edit: But thats Assault and Maneuvers. Tactics however buffs accuracy and perception and thus, is less needed, unless you want an accuracy boost on your debuffing and blasting powers, or plan on PvP'ing alot.

Yesterday night, Bucket used vengeance after Harry died (as usual) and Gang War was up at the time! I tell ya, a vengeanced Gang War is truly evil. At any rate, what level is Ziggy now, he 50 yet? Have you done the RSF at all yet?

What I do find myself to be at odds with are characters who seem to fluctuate too much (in my personal opinion) with their maturity. On one hand they seem to be oblivious to the most basic facts of life, on the other they are well trained ninja spies who vanish to the four corners of the Earth to conduct secret, highly dangerous tasks for various organizations and are just cool with that. If their responses to any situation seems to be more dependent on the mood of the player than the chosen theme of the character it becomes hard to have consistent interaction with them.

*rolls eyes* You know what, I'm not even going to say anything on this. Its just not worth it.

Tygerboy trying to **** of Lunk through Tress

Tygerboy is a little rascal hero you just love to hate.

So you suspect some roleplayers are purposely using children characters to behave immaturely in a roleplaying community? Dude, thats paranoia right there. If you ask me, I'd say the kids threatened the talking rabbit because an aggressive child, or adult even, might just do so. There really is no set way to roleplay persons unless he or she is simply a cardboard cut-out stereotype.

Cool poster. Nice contrast in colours, good choice of filter and I'm loving the font.

Nice sketch indeed.

Tues 8th May-7.30pm BST

I'm at work at this time. If Tuesday's the set date, you can just replace my spot.

If I had a tight build, I would not take Tactics - the Enforcers buff that enough as it is. My henchmen can hit +3 bosses without any signs of missed shots, so it seems they can buff themselves quite nicely. If you want figures to do the math, I can go get some. Also, is EVIL really the best villains SG? How can you be so sure?

((I imagine he'll find alot of people challenging him to a fight to the death. Dieing only to return))

The office door swung open and two bodyguards ushered out Don Barzini, the mafia boss known as the notrious Pistol. Dressed in the infamous black floor-length trenchcoat worn by the New Mafia, she swept past Bunji and headed down the corridor, flanked by three more henchmen.

As some people may know, Tracey Lionheart has somehow recieved superpowers. She's currently radiating with energy signatures quite similar to Britanic's *cough*

So what is the first thing the woman does? She escapes the time bomb that is planet Earth and explores the outer space, under the alias of Glitter. Hollywood media called her Glitter-Girl or G-Girl for short.

The Friday Night Talkshow has been an excellent project and I thank everyone that has supported its course and more so, everyone that has participated in the roleplaying. With Maxy away from the game, I've decided to put the project on hold until perhaps another time. Again, thank you all for the support and I hope you've enjoyed watching the videos and much as I've enjoyed roleplaying them. I have one last to release - Vigilante Storm with Tracey Lionheart, and after that, the show will be taking a seasonal break.

Thanks again for the team, 8 mins has gotta be some kind of a record. Here are four shots I snapped.

1. Team vs. Monster

2. Saving Sam Wincott

3. Mission Accomplished

4. Posing for Paparazzi

I'm willing to help again... will post screenshots later today of yesterday's Trial.

If you can organise this event well enough I am sure it will happen, simply because its been done lots of times in the past. Have a look around mate and make contact with hero and villain supergroups who may be interested. May 28, 6pm GMT should be fine with the Gang - its a few weeks away so it gives plenty time for planning and organising. I'll let the boys know.

By the looks of things, we got:

1. Otti - Stone/Stone Tank
2. Pious Hunter - Ill/FF Controller
3. Pinpoint - TA/Archery Defender
4. @Knightly (Your Choice of AT)
5. Shadow Scout - Dark/Dark Defender
6. @orht - Rad/Rad Defender
7. Mega Jamie - Ill/Kin Troller
8. @Wolf_McLaud - MC/FF troller

Welcome to the boards Smiles. The Gang's thread is over on Union Villains so keep an eye out for messages and stuff. You can also post the in-character story or plot updates for your mastermind in the Thugz Mansion thread under the Roleplaying section.
