I can't believe I missed this thread earlier. I'm game for the blueside and possibly the redside. I'll bring Astounding Man, he had a good run last November. Like last year if you need me to be a team leader just let me know. I'm fine with being a grunt who takes orders too.

** No longer able to edit the Original Post***

We're looking good with a large pool of team leaders who can show a little early and start taking invites to both nights. Last year, we had 18 teams between Talos and PI so if we have a similiar turnout, we'll still need people to step up and take point for their individual units.

Again, only takes a minimum of 20 people to drop just one ship. I could easily see us getting 50 bodies to participate - so about 25 cowboys hitting each of the two seperate paths. Maybe we'll luck out and more will come to give us some added go go go.

Right now, just confirming who's available to lead a team...

Villains: Black Marrow, Knightslayer, and Exotica will be each assembling teams to follow their Targeter: Kurai Musha

Wrecking Belle, Spice Weasel, and Psi will be assembling teams to follow their Targeter: Miss Honey Dew

---

Heroes (we expect a bigger turnout): Infatum, Androgyne, Exxcaliber, and Paladin will be assembling teams on the spot to follow their assigned Targeter: Una

Kegan, Kerse, Kid, and Church Mouse will be assembing teams on the spot to follow their Targeter: Sandolphan

---

There's no way of knowing how many people show up any given event or night so the best we can do is make sure we have an even number of teams formed per Targerter. If you fill a team, please contact your targeter and let them know you have a crew.

Points if you show up dressed like a pirate, a ninja, StUpahhh man, or a cute wil Panda bear. Thank you all. ( Yes, still taking names of people who would be interested in assembling and leading teams as sometimse RL comes up. Inquire within by forum mail, post, or global message).

Of course you'll be there!!! I"m in San Antonio too! Woot.

New fanfic coming soon... Spurs fans unite and vanquish the Rikti! Unless you're not a Spurs fan and I'll denounce you. =)

Edit: blah blah.. deleted stuff where I made fun of Xad. He's a nice guy. He means well. But yeah, brushing my teeth, wandered back. Heading to bed soon.

You know. I'd love to shoot a scene at the Riverwalk and superimpose a shot of Hamidon spawning in the center near the mall. And pay a bunch of kids to shoot at his position with waterguns. Pew pew. Make for a great SG trailer.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of Basketball... I'm more for football.. and we don't ahve a team. WAY TO GO, SAN ANTONIO.

I'd be up for shooting a watergun at an invisible entity at one of the most populated places in the city. It'd be a blast, until the people in white came and carried us away. What part are you from? I'm originally from the North East. Converse area... But, after I joined the Air Force, I got slapped over to Lackland. :/

Always nice to talk to other local people

Pew pew pew.

I'm currently incarcerated right about that area. Hopefully, I'll get early parole for decent behavior practices and organize an RL event for the next HeroCon.

I'm attending on BBQChicken , 50 Stalker. I guess I will lead a team if I must. *Sigh*

Yay. <passes out sheriff stars>

Just a heads up since there's been a few similiar pm and email questions:

- No holds needed as ships cannot be slowed.
- There is no "end" to our time-frame. It's really based on how long it takes to finish a battle and whether the overall group energy can sustain a wait for a second. There's just no way of knowing how much time passes between invasions across zones. Ideally, we're finishing one zone at the least. Two was great fun last time but I always see it in the same way as RWZ ship raids.. once you're hitting 3, your eyeballs are screaming "No mohrss.. peasss."
- There is no guarantee that our ideal zones (Cap / Fri and Talos / Sat) will be invaded on or around the time we are assembling or up and running. These zones were selected for as a tactical starting position only; their best set as a universal doorway to most other zones. Granted, Skyway, would also work but Sky doesn't have that cool dirt hill where we can arm wrastle gators while we wait for the sirens. Wait, I didn't tell you about the gators we're importing? Just for this.. With frikkin' side-mounted lazorz. Yeah, we're going all out. I paid this guy to dress up so it should be fun.
- Yes, there is always a chance we may start a bit early if the zone we are assembled in is invaded.. say.. 1-15 minutes prior to the unofficial start time. That's how it happened last time. Talos was attacked about 10 minutes before start; it was in our best interest to go ahead and fly out to meet the invading hordes rather than stand there for an additional 10. Calls in broadcast got most of the "on the dot" troops there for the bulk of the battle.

More raids available.

If you cannot make Virtue's run for villains on Friday night, and have a character on Infinity, please see their forums -link here- . @Mr. Awe is organizing a dropship raid Saturday (different time than our hero run).

If you cannot make Virtue's run for heroes on Saturday night, and have a character on Justice, please see their forums -link here-. They are assembling on Sunday.

Edit/Addition:

Dinner plans at 8 CST? Our brethren in Champions will also be assembling blue-side units on Saturday evening, an hour before ours (8 pm EST - ours is 8 CST). Please see their information -here-.

Additional information and reminder: Villains, Friday night (7-17) meeting in Cap au Diable near the Cap Ferry (not the PO Ferry). PM - 6 PST / 7 MST / 8 CST / 9 EST

- Recommend assembling early. I'll be there at least 30 minutes in advance.

- Don't forget, you will need flight. Please see original post for links to temporary flight/jet packs.

- If we have less than 40 assemble, all teams will be consolidated under one targeter. Someone laughed at me for adding that caveat. So just a reminder, we are anticipating at least 40 villains and will have them broken down into two seperate units. This allows us to take both Paths drop ships of both Waves in a zone Invasion.

- Targeters confirmed: Miss Honey Dew / @Andra will be leading units on any northern horizontal and western vertical Paths (per Wave). Basically she runs any path that is top or left of a map. Kurai Musha / @Kegan will be leading units on any southern horizontal and eastern vertical Paths (per Wave) because.. she's always right :P

- Volunteers have already signed up to show early and begin picking up peeps for teams. VG's are encouraged to show and assemble their own as well. Webmaster Grave, Exotica, and Knightslayer will be calling for teams to run with Miss Honey Dew (character names). Cherry Nobyl , Jack-Lerpan, and Wrecking Belle will be calling to fill teams under Kurai Musha. There's always a chance we'll have more people than those 64 spots so don't be shy about starting a team if those fill.

- To help make sure we don't have lop-sided forces, anyone -leading- a team (whether you're signed up already or planning to bring a private group of friends, VG, or allies) should send a quick PM to Miss Honey Dew or Kurai Musha to advise how many they have filled with. It would be inefficient for say.. 4 VG's to attend but all follow Dew if Musha's group is running at 20 bodies. Thank you in advance.

- If I can drag my sorry carcass out of bed tomorrow morning, I'll be following redside Invasions to see how far the Paths (if any) have deviated due to the addition of MA buildings since our last run. Hopefully, I can get a good idea of how often zones are called.. 20 minutes apart.. 15.. etc. And while it would be great if there was some secret master pattern.. I won't hold my breath. -Random- is a [censored] of a factor when coupled with large group sizes but it can be fun if you're prepared.

- Because we are assembling in Cap, if Invasion hits Cap as early as 15-20 minutes while we're loitering about.. we will fly up to meet the ships then rather than wait for the next Invasion (not knowing how much time there is between Invasions, I'd hate to say "oh no, stand there and take it up the bootie while we wait for the next one"). And we'll continue to the next zone as well.

Good to see you! Now my day is complete. Ravenlore is coming to film as well. She's been working on our VG vid and I'll hold her until Saturday for teh hero run as well.

I need to find her old Vanguard video where all the forum boys dressed up in full gear!!! It's a great mood-setter. The opening scenes with the spooky television and radio static.

Four hours to go? Gotta make sure i get my timezones straight!

It's 4 am here in Texas now so it's 4 hours from now for me, yes.

Villain raid start time (if you show on the dot) is 6 pm Pacific / 7 pm Mountain / 8 pm Central / 9 pm Eastern.

If you show early.. take off 30-35-60 mins :P I do recommend showing early for team assembly. Plus, as posted before, if Cap is hit minutes before start time, that start time is amended.

I'm heading out to a late lunch / early dinner and will bring back noms. If you are in central Texas now, please head to my house in 1 hour!!! We have iced tea.

PS. You're so cute, KS!
