Victory Red Side

PennyPA · 06-17-2009 06:22 AM

I saw this post and the first reply.

I guess I don't know my internet lingo, is that how Victory is described?

Mental_Giant · 06-17-2009 06:42 AM

Don't we have the Rainbow Force prom or whatever? I thought we did have the most active GBLT groups in the game.

GBLT is Gay, Bisexual, Lesbian, Transgender, BTW.

lol @ personalities for players on either red or blue side

Once you understand this is a game, you'll have a better chance in life.

I like how Freedom is "Unquenstianbly the server with the highest population." I agree. It's completely unquenstianble.

Here's my list:

Racist? Go play on Freedom

Like little children? Go play Guardian

Talk to ghosts? Go play Infinity

Conspiracy Theorist? Go play Virtue

Social and outgoing? STAY THE @#%$#@$@ OFF MY VICTORY

I can't even think of the other servers.

Thanks Mental for the translation. I thought it was something like that, but wasn't sure.

NiVra · 06-17-2009 09:45 AM

really? I didn't know our server was outed. I always figured our vocal group was PVP. Or is it that we just have the "winningest" PVP elite?

...hmm, what happens at a GBLT prom? I mean, i've been to a jr. prom where it really does split in half with one side of girls and the other of boys and the brave few mingling in-between. So whats the "shy"-split in one of those?

I also just realized "redside" was specified. Are lesbian hellions really that big a problem these days?

Yes we do have a large GLBT population on Vic. Both red and blue. Virtue does give us a run for our money however. Here's a fun trivia fact, the game's first Gay/Gay-friendly SG Prism located itself on our beloved server. While it didn't survive for long as an Sg on live, about a year or so, it had been active on the CoH forums well before beta. I happened to be the first straight member, but not the last!

Anyone that might want to learn more about Victory's, or the game's, GLBT population is encouraged to join the Pride global channel. It's a public channel, so typing "/chan_join Pride" ingame and you're in! We're a helpful bunch regardless of orientation.

Another trivia fact. At HeroCon's dinner event, there were 2 tables for Victory. 1 of them was filled with Pride members.

Now as to why Victory in particular might be known for our GLBT community? My guess would be events like the Rainbow Prom and National Coming Out Day celebrations garnered good press for the game itself. Which the NCNC community folks highlighted on the forums.

I hope that provides some of the answers the OP may have been looking for.

It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.

Umm guys... the post says RESIDE not Red side. Which is true, we are the "unofficial alt lifestyle server".

tee hee. It does (didn't actually look at the linked post cuz it wasn't on Victory ) I'm hoping for Penny's sake it was edited.

Otherwise, I'm gonna blame the frequent beatings she's been getting on her scrapper :O

Huh, I always assumed the game in general had a large GLBT population. I'm not terribly experienced on other servers... they frighten me because they are different.

And I thought Victory was known as the surly, antisocial server... but that might just be Voo.

Heh, MP beat me to it. I read through that listing and was wondering why people kept focusing on redside. Heh.

I've seen this description of Victory before and been rather confused, as I haven't really noticed anything GLBT about most on Victory. I've seen people post and try to say it's a ghost town, which makes me either a) roll my eyes b) chuckle at their silliness c) get annoyed d) all of the above. Redside is lighter than blueside on Victory, but I haven't had issues finding teams on either side, unless it's really late.

I would describe Victory as the "NO BS, we don't care if you are gay, straight, white, black, yellow, green, whatever...Play well, have fun. make friends, give each other grief for N00b mistakes, play the effing game and quit yer whining server."

LuchaPants · 06-17-2009 06:34 PM

Man, sometimes I catch one of those people who are in the "I'm gay and you have to know I'm gay, hey hey! YOU! LOOK AT ME, I'M GAY! LOOK AT ME!" and I just have to go to a different zone and go on /hide. Its not that I hate gay people, I hate attention whores.

Have been playing for 3 year and the only thing I have see with GBLT was 1 party in Atlas Years Ago.

Victory should be called the Private serve, Because if you don't know the most active player in the game you will never get or make a freaking team

I vote for this.

Arc# 92382 -- "The S.P.I.D.E.R. and the Tyrant" -- Ninjas! Robots! Praetorians! It's totally epic! Play it now!

Arc # 316340 -- "Husk" -- Azuria loses something, a young woman harbors a dark secret, and the fate of the world is in your hands.

Ohmygoshyes. When I stopped being a part of my SG (the leader was a jerk) I suddenly found myself with barely anyone to play with. MA has just made it worse, at least in my experience.
