I was just talking about this name with A'ndromeda/Jamelles in the car, and this is so win. Her hair and glasses are also already in the costume generator along with a red dress that is virtually a perfect match. I second this. Roll her today!

Say... what do people think about Pinnacle for a potential villain-side edition of Capitol Offense? It's an East Coast server with a good community and comparatively low volumes ... myself and others from the M&G are known to play there already (including the now famous Aett_Thorn himself), and would be available to finance lowbies etc. I have several homeless villains there already.

What would be the name of the villain-side version of Capitol Offense, anyhow? Regardless of what server it winds up on ... names are fun. I've been seeing some awesome character names in the SG, by the way ... keep that up

I've come to the realization that eventually we're all going to want villains to play with, too. Really, it's just a matter of time and collective organizational willpower. It would be cool to run the Virgil Tarikoss Strike Force the week after Posi, for example, for comparison and contrast between red/blue-side content.

I might be able to squeeze Frosty in Friday if I get to my destination by then. But after that I am a prisoner of Love until Monday evening. Silly long Valentine weekend.

Heya Darc... I'll edit you in as 'optimistic' today for Frostfire tonight. I expect there will be some initial time lag as we catch people up on Flux's arc (if desired) and all travel to the Hollows, which optimistically will give you time to reach your destination. Have fun this weekend, whether you're able to join us to apprehend Frosty tonight or not.

Speaking of FF, I got invited to diner tonight so I'm not 100% sure I'll make it by the start time. But I'll be on some time tonight.

Obviously we will all be in-game so if you're late to the forums or are able to join unexpectedly ... please send me tells in-game and I'll work you in. Let me know if I missed anyone in the summarized list, below.

Personal opinion: Let's get the hero crew rolling effectively first. When we hit the 30s, at that point we can branch out to a redside crew, and IMO it should stay on Champion for coop opportunities.

We're just getting the steam rolling with the hero crew. Throwing in a redside component this early on will divide efforts and teaming opportunities. That's not to say do NOT do it EVER, but let's get up to self-sufficiency speed first as one crew. We're in teambuilding mode now.

(On fundage: Y'know, you CAN just transfer funds over the Market. Works like a charm. If you don't know how, talk to me and I'll explain the mechanics.)

It's easy-peasy. Markets are cross-server. Sell something really obscure and cheap here with no bids or sales, and buy it on your home server for an obscene amount of money. You pay the auction fee, but it bypasses any need for asking for fundage locally.

Just remember its against the EULA to play a real person. There are plenty of Caribou Barbie characters, but to actually use her name is likely to get you genericed.


...I forgot what experience means.

Alright ... no new takers since the last edit on my original 12:22pm post summarizing the folks planning to attend "Frostfire Friday the 13th."

I'm logging into the game client now; looking forward to the run with those who can make it. I'll be on with the lvl 12 tank Coors L1ght. Capitol Offense SG base @ 7:30pm.

Had a great time with Frostfire tonight! 6/8 folks on the team were with Capitol Offense; and thanks to Aquarius Rex and Luminous Vivacity for stepping up to take #7 and #8 spots on short notice. Fun was had, and the level ups came almost too quickly for our congratulations. In an attempt to help, the Speaker of the House introduced an auto-congratulations bailout bill, but it was countered with a Filibuster and never got anywhere. Eventually, Frostfire was arrested, we visited some trainers, and all went home to rest for Positron tomorrow.

During a free moment at her Day Job, Jamelle cooked up a Shutterfly page to house a few screenshots (look for more to be added later). I hope to see as many of you as can make it for the Positron TF tomorrow starting @ 3pm.

Question for everyone. Aside from Cooper is there anyone else who is interested in a TeamSpeak server? I'd like to gauge interest before I open it up. It will be a few week because I plan to switch ISPs soon so I'm waiting to launch the server until after I switch.

As of now it looks like we have 5 folks enrolled for the Positron TF beginning at 3PM today. We'll plan on meeting in the Capitol Offense base then commuting to Posi to begin the task force. If we wind up running with the smaller team (vs. 8), it is possible we will complete the TF today in a single run (if we can do it under 4 hours and maybe arrange a break or two).

As usual, if you find yourself able to make it unexpectedly... look for me in game and I will do my best to work you in. After today's run I'll post again for an update on tomorrow and whether it will be a continuation or a possible repeat run of the TF.

Oh yeah, and Happy Valentine's Day to all y'all.

[u]Positron's TF, Team 1 Day 1 @ 3PM EST[u]

1. Coors L1ght 14 Stone/Ice Tank
2. Jamelles 14 Claws/WP Scrapper
3. @El_Zilcho TBD
4. Sirius Moonlight 35 Dark/Energy Defender
5. Filibuster 12? Dark/WP Scrapper
6. Tech 10 Claws/WP Scrapper

I might try and run Posi with ya. Trying to get Tech to at least 10 before 3. Shouldn't be a problem even soloing. So yeah mark another Claws/WP scrapper on there.

Positron's TF was completed yesterday by a team of eight in: 3:38:27

It was a great, efficient, and wildy fun run. Now, if only our congress could perform like that ...

[u]Positron's Ally Badge was earned by the following Capitol Offense members on 02/14/09:[u]

Coors L1ght 16 Tank
Tech-Striker 16 Scrapper
Speaker of the House 16 Blaster
Sleetstorm 16 Controller
Filibuster 16 Scrapper
Mike Halo 16 Scrapper
Hush- 16 Defender
Jamelles 16 Scrapper

At the end of the TF, every team member was capped after dinging 16. Since we completed the TF in a single run... Today's continuation of the Task Force scheduled for 3pm (EST) becomes null and void. I will be online at 3PM, and will drum up some type of replacement activities... right now this will probably be running through the Steel Canyon and Skyway newspaper arcs and corresponding bank missions.

Eventually, I would like to run the next Task Force in line -- Synapse's TF. However, I'd like to schedule this with a bit more than a day's notice in order to allow folks to lvl up to about 17 or 18 and complete some character maintenance before getting started on this one. I'll see about Synapse later this week (Thurs/Friday) or perhaps next weekend.

That had to be the best Posi run I've ever done. If that's any indication of the way this SG is going to work together, then we're in for a hell of a great time.

I'm looking forward to some more teaming. Who's off on Monday for Pres Day? I am - seems like a fitting time to get some teaming in, so I'll probably be on with Sleetstorm and/or Quasadu (who I still need to get in to the SG).

Huh, it seems as though my original Positron TF post is too old to edit? Anyhow ... for clarity's sake... the event I originally posted about today at 3pm has been cancelled, since we were able to complete Posi in a single-session yesterday.

Some sort of enjoyable, yet productive, replacement event(s) will happen this afternoon at 3pm. Suggestions are welcome.

This weekend was one heckuva great Paragon-fest at our house.

We enjoyed the Positron TF immensely (Those words have never been uttered by me before). The rest of the long weekend things were very hectic so we did not get back with our friends on Champion to try something else. Thanks again for putting it together. What a RUN!

Someone mentioned Synapse... considering the skill and experience level witnessed during the Posi TF, I think we should make it a Standard CO Policy to hit each TF at level (and crush it!). I submit this to House Super-human Affairs Committee for further consideration!

Just a few of my thoughts as I sit here at work sipping coffee on a chilly Tuesday morning.

On Guardian!
