(It won't be good for me to realize this...) On a normal week... 50+
3. About how many hours per week to you spend Role Playing in COH?

Of course. No problems there.
1. I'd say.
2. Completely sporatic, cannot be defined.
3. Pretty much all of that time.
4. 7. Ramier shares my sudden decision making and love of explosions. No, I'm not a communist.
5. It opens a new world; Our world is boring. Lasers and superpowers are not.
6. Yes. And yes.
7. We are a roleplayers only group.
8. I'm not sure...You'd have to go to our website. ((www.killersofvirtue.net)) and ask there.
9. Can't count on me in game, but I'm pretty much a forum troll here, so that wouldn't be a problem.
1. Do you Role Play more than 90% of the time you spend playing COH?
No, I like to solo missions, which cuts me down to about 40% RP time. But when I'm doing missions in a group, I like to - provided I'm with the right kind of group.
2. About how many hours per week do you play COH?
Uh... 30? Maybe?
3. About how many hours per week to you spend Role Playing in COH?
Depends on who else is on in my friendslist. 20?
4. On a scale of 1-10, how much do you think your primary toon is a reflection of yourself? (1 = your toon is not at all like you 10 = your toon is a lot like you)
Definitely 10. Worried for peoples' welfare, wants to be friends with everyone, and something of a drama queen. XD; Also, frightened of nearly everything. *cough*
5. Why do you like to Role Play? (Or why is Role Playing more fun than just playing COH?)
RP livens up the game. ^^ Sure it's escapist, but it's an exercise of the imagination.
6. Do you play any other MMORPGs? If so, do you Role Play when you play them?
Yes and yes!
7. To what degree does your Super/Villain Group (if you belong to one) encourage/discourage Role Playing?
The one I run with my main encourages it, but it's not required.
8. If you are part of a Role playing Super/Villain Group, would your group have a problem with a non-RP-ing observer (tag-along) for an hour or so?
Of course not!
9. Can I follow-up with you with more (brief) questions either in-game or via a forum PM?
Yes, you may. ^^

Hmm... about 4~5. Secondary, on the other hand, is me. 
So a 9.5 there.

5. Why do you like to Role Play? (Or why is Role Playing more fun than just playing COH?)

Tough one. I enjoy the dynamics of interactions based off emotions and 'past experiences'.

6. Do you play any other MMORPGs? If so, do you Role Play when you play them?
[/ QUOTE ]
Nope. While I have before, (WoW, SWG, EQ2, DDO) I've since canceled the account or otherwise left it inactive. The current RP community I'm with is far more fun then the other, non- to semi-RP, game communities.
[ QUOTE ]
7. To what degree does your Super/Villain Group (if you belong to one) encourage/discourage Role Playing?
[/ QUOTE ]
Heavily encouraged, that is the whole point of the group. Several SGs, some with a specific theme, all RP based.

8. If you are part of a Role playing Super/Villain Group, would your group have a problem with a non-RP-ing observer (tag-along) for an hour or so?

Sure, as long as they don't mind the ecclectic personalities and getting lost in a few minutes as we refere to older events regularly.

As I've been working on revising my draft, a few other things ocurred to me that would be useful to know. If any of you would be willing to answer these questions, I'd appreciate it. (Note: Feel free to respond in a PM if you don't want to post here for the world to see.)
1. In what state/country are you located?
2. What is your approximate age range? (Which of these ranges does your age fall: under 18, 18-23, 23-30, 30-35, 35-40, 40-50, 50+)
3. What do you do for a living? (what's your general occupation?)
Note: I'd just like to get a general feeling for what "types" of people choose to role-play in COH. Thanks in advance!
1.
<--- (at least for the moment.)
2. 23-30
3. US Military

I'll go through the first set of questions and then the second set:
1. Do you Role Play more than 90% of the time you spend playing COH?
Yes... about 99.9% of the time.
2. About how many hours per week do you play COH?
About 25-30
3. About how many hours per week to you spend Role Playing in COH?
See #2
4. On a scale of 1-10, how much do you think your primary toon is a reflection of yourself? (1 = your toon is not at all like you 10 = your toon is a lot like you)
I really don't have a primary but I can say is that all of my toons have at least one aspect of me in them... so about a 7 on every one of them.
5. Why do you like to Role Play? (Or why is Role Playing more fun than just playing COH?)
I like the interaction, plus playing without RPing is very boring at times.
6. Do you play any other MMORPGs? If so, do you Role Play when you play them?
Sort of. I play GW once in a blue moon... and yes I RP in that game too.
7. To what degree does your Super/Villain Group (if you belong to one) encourage/discourage Role Playing?
Oh strongly encouraged... most definately... all of them that I am in.
8. If you are part of a Role playing Super/Villain Group, would your group have a problem with a non-RP-ing observer (tag-along) for an hour or so?
It depends on the person or the group that I am in at the moment that I am playing.
9. Can I follow-up with you with more (brief) questions either in-game or via a forum PM?
Sure.
And now, the second set of questions:
1. In what state/country are you located?
California
2. What is your approximate age range? (Which of these ranges does your age fall: under 18, 18-23, 23-30, 30-35, 35-40, 40-50, 50+)
23-30
3. What do you do for a living? (what's your general occupation?)
I am unemployed at the moment... but I used to be in the Manufacturing field.
1. Do you Role Play more than 90% of the time you spend playing COH?
100% of the time. I get bored when I'm not roleplaying. If I wanted to socialize I'd get on AIM or go out with friends. I play CoH to get emersed into the comic book atmosphere.
2. About how many hours per week do you play COH?
60+ anytime I'm away from college without any work weighing on me.
3. About how many hours per week to you spend Role Playing in COH?
The same amount as Q 2. I'm always RPing, be it at Pocket D or in a mission.
4. On a scale of 1-10, how much do you think your primary toon is a reflection of yourself? (1 = your toon is not at all like you 10 = your toon is a lot like you) 8, my main character is the me I -wish- I was. Outspoken, determined, and willing to do whatever it takes to make something positive happen for the world, even if the people themselves don't realize that it's beneficial.
5. Why do you like to Role Play? (Or why is Role Playing more fun than just playing COH?)
To get away from reality. I'm already living life, CoH/CoV is my way to escape, to go to another world where I don't have to worry about the problems of my life or the world I'm in, I can concentrate on saving (or ruining 
) the day in that other world.
6. Do you play any other MMORPGs? If so, do you Role Play when you play them?
I do not currently play any other MMO's but I have in the past, I always RP in any MMO that I play, there's no other interest for me besides RolePlaying.
7. To what degree does your Super/Villain Group (if you belong to one) encourage/discourage Role Playing?
The groups I've been in are All-RP groups, meaning you either RP or you don't get into the group. There's no encouragement necessary because there's no one in the group that isn't an RPer.
8. If you are part of a Role playing Super/Villain Group, would your group have a problem with a non-RP-ing observer (tag-along) for an hour or so?
Probably, my groups pretty small and we like our immersion to go undisturbed as much as possible.
9. Can I follow-up with you with more (brief) questions either in-game or via a forum PM?
Certainly.

1. Do you Role Play more than 90% of the time you spend playing COH?
Nope. Whenever i'm in a team, which is 90% of the time, I roleplay. When i'm soloing, i'm kinda roleplaying with myself, in a sense... But really, I would say only around 80% of my time is pure roleplaying.
2. About how many hours per week do you play COH?
Around 30 or 40, not sure.
3. About how many hours per week to you spend Role Playing in COH?
See above.
4. On a scale of 1-10, how much do you think your primary toon is a reflection of yourself? (1 = your toon is not at all like you 10 = your toon is a lot like you)
Jordan Norris, my 'Me' character: 9. The only reason its not a 10 is because I am NOT a manipulative trillionaire cyborg with demonic blood in me.
Silent Vailo: 6
5. Why do you like to Role Play? (Or why is Role Playing more fun than just playing COH?)
Because, really, it helps to detract from the grinding levels. Its not just 'Only gettin this much xp....', its 'Hah! Take that, you stupid villain! Off to jail with you!' or so.
6. Do you play any other MMORPGs? If so, do you Role Play when you play them?
Not currently, but I have in the past.
7. To what degree does your Super/Villain Group (if you belong to one) encourage/discourage Role Playing?
I pretty much join all-roleplaying groups on Virtue. On my group on Victory, its requirement is that you HAVE to Rp, so... Yeah. Encourage all the way.
8. If you are part of a Role playing Super/Villain Group, would your group have a problem with a non-RP-ing observer (tag-along) for an hour or so?
That depends on the person.
9. Can I follow-up with you with more (brief) questions either in-game or via a forum PM?
Sure. Send me a tell at @OneVailo

Under 18
3. What do you do for a living? (what's your general occupation?)
Sit around, play games, learn stuff from homeschooling.
