I'm out.
Oh sorry, I guess I shouldn't have posted at all, should I?

OP sounds really young and, as such, I figure even if the VG got off the ground it wouldn't outlive the summer.
Too bad, redside needs more RP.
I have a toon similar to that. Except when he got hit on the head he thought he was a waiter at Red Lobster...
Too bad there are no VGs for that.
As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish, he'd stay away.

I wish the OPer luck, but everything i create revolves around my or my sg storylines
In fact I haven't made a character for myself in a bit o.@
-C.A.
Maybe I didn't explain it well enough.
First off he got hit on his head true....but the knock to the head dislodged memories from a past life
Secondly the VG would be based around villains/adventures of old....as in disgraced gods, immortals and time displaced people.

I'm pretty sure the issue everyone is having is that your grammer and spelling make it difficult to read.
Oh sorry I forgot you all are Grammar Nazis.
I'm dyslexic I suck at spelling and grammar. There is nothing I can do about it. I put everything through spell check and reread it but it a problem of mine
Fun Fact: Declaring others a Grammar Nazi is typically seen as bad form.
Now then onto the the actual point of this thread.
When making a VG you have to think of not only what kind of members you want, but also what kind of things you want the group to do. In this case you have a story based VG filled with time travelers and a lot of people linked to the past and such.
Now this is all well and good, certainly not the worst group idea I have ever seen but you do have something missing, something vitally important. They don't have a reason to stay together. So I would heavily suggest that you come up with a reason to have your group come together, a common goal works really well for this and it gives you fodder for the story.
Once you have your groups purpose and direction established it -should- be easier to get players to join and stay, after all everyone wants to be part of a interesting story, and a group of time traveling anti heroes (no offense but I think I have seen like 3 actual villain characters in COV) sounds like it could be really interesting. Hell maybe they could run into Ouroboros and start a temporal war.
...
...
You know what, I'm stealing the idea of a war with Ouro for a MArc.
well I have an Inquisition VG set up, we hunt mutants, magic users and aliens....right now I have only myself in it, so the addition of any humans who are of the Natural, Science or Tech origin will increase the numbers of my Order.
however I have not as of yet really tried to increase my numbers, but if your on red side and see Tiburon ask him fr the invite, the groups name is Ordo Mallus (didn't have the room to spell it right when I created the guild so long ago.
if you want to read the full Idea of the Order goto Ordo Malleus

Since you claim to be dyslexic and are aware that you "suck" at grammar and spelling, I would assume it most likely that you'd also know your communication doesn't always come across clearly. In a text based medium, these are important things to work with or to be prepared to address in a manner that allows your reader to better handle what they are presented with.
Following up with an insult is a good way to make sure the "impossible task of starting a VG" is aptly described.
Gold stars for you, sunshine. You're a peachy-keen champ among champs.
Best of luck with your endeavor.
Thread should be closed due to OP invoking Godwin's Law, IMO.

Sorry but that's just a crutch you're using to explain away your lazy posting habits. I am also dyslexic and I have never posted anything as illegible as your OP. Take the time to read and reread what you're posting before hitting that submit button. Also when it comes to RP you should be taking your time as well. If the people you are RPing with can not understand what you are saying it will make for a very poor RP experience. Now on the topic at hand, if you are truly serious about this VG then good luck but I'd suggest looking around in game before starting a new one. You're likely to find that a VG such as the one you are purposing already exists. Again good luck.
So you want to start a group centered around people getting whacked in the head and thinking they are someone else? Sounds like we're dealing with The...

Elleo Elloe all you lovely little duckies
How is everyone
Anyways I've recently have created a new Brute her in our lovely role playing universe and have decide it time to move him into a super group
Only problem maties is the fact that der is almost no group....at least that I know of suited for him.
He some poor so that got hit on the head and now thing he a bloody viking/saxon barbarian, I'm still a bit fuzzy on the details, he might be nutso or he might be recalling a pass life. Dat being said I've decide to take it one step further and created an rp focused on the heroes of old.
In other words, you have to be connected to the far past some how or the gods.
Got it? Good so here comes the important question are you in or are you out?
EDIT
Quick Edit time....the VG would focus on villains of old. Like immortals, fallen gods, time displaced people and villains that have a powerful connection with the past

Blah, Blah, Blah...
Here I will sum up what you said in a few words for everyone...

One problem with that name: we'd have to draft them into the Alliteration Army.
I'd totally join a VG called Grammar Nazis, but I think the N-word is blocked by the in-game filter.
Think Grammar Fascists (or better still, Fascii) is available?
Grammar National Socialists?
i'd so join, only if i can act like klink "what? yes yes heil webster.
Dude, I'd SO join the Grammar Nazis.
Or Grammar Fascists.
I talk with absolute PERFECT GRAMMAR on Co* anyway. So why not have a VG dedicated to it? It's perfect!

jeeze, sorry for try to start a topic.
I thought it was a cool idea and decided to post it thinking Virtue was a friendly place.
As soon as I do I find my self berated from all sides for not spelling my opening postperfectly.
And then when I snap back I get yelled at some more.
Guess people were wrong when they said Virtue is a friendly place.
Oh and Tech if you bothered to read my post all the way through you would see that I do read through my post, spell check it and reread them. I just don't see the errors like other people. Dyslexic comes in all levels and forms so please don't think your dyslexic is the same as mine.
That being said I'll probably just close this form. It not worth the head ache of being teased and bullied by all of you. Before that however, I'd like to thank RedSpine he the only one that gave me some advice that was useful.

as a person who on more then one occasion has posted unreadable stuff (yes I'm Lixdexict... and drunk on rum most of the time) i understand your pain, I would try reading every post out loud before hitting the button, and if you want to really be clear use word first, also avoid using accents unless your good with them, I got that you where trying to type cockney one of the hardest grammars in the world to get right.
how ever if you want to try it here are the rules:
Cockney Rhyming Slang
Cockney Rhyming Slang has been moving around the world, thanks to the popularity of East End gangster movies such as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and many others. Its a series of words and phrases used by Cockneys and other Londoners. Originally, a Cockney was someone born within the area where they could hear the bells of St Mary le Bow church in Cheapside, London. (This is known as being born within the sound of the Bow Bells). However, an increasingly mobile society means that this label applies to anyone with Cockney heritage or accent.
Rhyming slang consists of replacing a word or phrase with another that rhymes with it. To make it more confusing, the rhyme may be hidden, so that theres no obvious link between the slang term and the original word or phrase.
No one is quite sure where the slang originates. Some speculate that it was designed to help thieves speak without being understood by others after a crackdown on crime in the heart of London. Others suggest that market traders created the slang so they could discuss matters among themselves while securing a good deal from their customers. What is known is that Cockney rhyming slang is alive and well, with new phrases entering the lexicon all the time.
Some phrases have entered common British speech and are used daily without any awareness of their Cockney origins. Examples include:
* use your loaf (loaf of bread = head)
* have a butchers (butchers hook = look)
* cobblers - rubbish (cobblers awls = balls)
* porkies (pork pies = lies)
* donkeys (donkeys ears = years)
Other traditional expressions which are perhaps less widespread include:
* apples (apples and pears = stairs)
* plates (plates of meat = feet)
* Barnet (Barnet Fair = hair)
* Boat race (= face)
* Trouble (trouble and strife = wife)
* Pony (pony and trap = crap)
* Adam and Eve (= believe)
* dog (dog and bone = phone)
* china (china plate = mate)
* Rosie (Rosie Lee = tea)
* rabbit (rabbit and pork = talk)
* whistle (whistle and flute = suit)
* bacons (bacon and eggs = legs)
* cream crackered (= knackered - tired)
* minces (mince pies = eyes)
* tea leaf (= thief)
* jimmy (Jimmy Riddle = piddle - pee)
The Cockney Rhyming Slang site also lists several examples of modern slang expressions, including:
* Ayrton (Ayrton Senna = tenner - ten pound note)
* A la mode (= code)
* Anneka Rice ( = advice)
* Adrian Mole (= dole - unemployment benefit)
* Abergavenny (= penny)
list of words and more rules

don't give up on virtue, it can be both fun and rewarding and the Grammar National Socialists are a plenty and they can all liberally Inhale the contents of someones rear hole.

lolwut? You're new here. :P
Anyways, I actually like your idea. And I actually do have a character that is suitable for the group and she's currently kind of a loner. It's rather difficult for me to RP her due to several reasons.
But as others said, you need to include some motivation for this SG to be formed. I.e. WHY are the people sticking together? What's the common goal? What benefits them when they're together that makes it worth their time?
I try to have a little fun and get shot down. I guess it my own fault.
