Good lord, I completely forgot to say when this would take place 0.0 Friday evening, 2 December, 9pm.

(( OOC: My english may be a bit high-handed, so to sum up the RP text below: I, Silk Noir, am on the Board of Directors for the League of Associated Industries (SG = League of Scoundrels), and I'm inviting everyone who reads this to attend a party gathering, where we intend to make you an offer of sorts - one we believe will benefit everyone there. Essentially it's an excuse to get everyone together and start networking, much like villains in RL do - maybe even get some plotlines going. Do not forget that we all have a common enemy in Paragon City. We might have to unit simply to take them out. If none of these reasons are motivation enough, you can all still come and have a damn good time - it IS a party after all.

Location: Aeon City, Cap au Diable. Now, I KNOW this will exclude some of the lower level villains, and I'm sorry about that, but well, it's a tough world in the Isles. Only the strongest survive. Anyone who doesn't like that, is probably playing the wrong game, and should buy CoH. You can then join the nice kisses and flowers RP community which is thriving there. HOWEVER, I will personally be available to help anyone who wants to risk a low level to get to Cap. I would recommend you be at least lvl 10, though. By then, you're no longer quite fresh meat, imo. Also from an RP perspective you've passed the initial 'test' put to you after Breakout, and Arachnos has decided that you might be worth something. Since Arachnos are the dominant power in these Isles, it then implies that anyone who wants to deal with Arachnos, must also at least take notice of your existance, even if only to try and squash it

In the RP I've set it up so we're on neutral territory, with no possibility of 'outside' agressive influence. There is a nice big square/ public area just to the west of the huge globe (actually an atom molecule) in which we could all gather, or we could gather under the monument itself. Either way, I think it'll work, and it's on the same scale as Atlas or GG in CoH.

I've also already got som buy-in from a couple of experienced role-players from CoH, so this would be a great time to meet their CoV alts, and find some friends to RP with, if nothing else. New people should also view this an a good opportunity to get in early, and grow with the community. Possibly even help drive the community All things are possible. ))


Role-Play or IC (In character):
* The gold-engraved, filligreed, personal invitation reads as follows *

Greetings, Destined One !

I do hope this message finds you in good health. My associates and I have high hopes that you will be able to attend our little soiree. We have slowly been compiling a list of all the Destined Ones who have been making a name for themselves, and it is our fervent desire that you all join us to celebrate a new beginning. You see, we believe that we can help you, and perhaps you can help us. Now... and into the future. At any rate, it wouldn't hurt to listen to our proposal. Should you choose not to accept our mutually beneficial offer, you will of course still be able to enjoy the party. We are sparing no expense. We consider this an investment in our future, and the furture of the Rogue Isles.

I realise that safety will be a concern for you. After all, these Isles are but recently tamed, and all manner of unsavoury and dangerous elements abound. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I inform you of the location for this prestigious event: Aeon City ! In Cap au Diable, under that beautiful monument to science and ingenuity so prominently displayed in the main square. I am told that Dr. Aeon is most pleased that we will be gracing his city, and has assured us that the Arachnos drones will gaurd us against all external threat. If any kind of weapon is brought within 100 yards of the square, I'm afraid the would-be attackers will meet a most unpleasant end. Furthermore, there will be several quite powerful barriers - the details of which I confess I do not fully understand - erected around us to gaurd against any foes who might seek to bring us harm while cowering many miles away. So, on that account, you need not fear!

At this point, you will no doubt be pondering the origins of this most gracious invitation, and wonder at the identity of it's author. You will please forgive me for not introducing myself sooner. I am Silk Noir, and most pleased to make your acquiantance. I have sent you this invite on behalf of the League of Associated Industries. We have recently developed several promising ventures in these Isles, but we are a little concerned: how will we be able to grow our business in these perilous times, with Paragon City set to meddle in our affairs, simply because we will not conform to their narrow ideals. I ask you: Where has freedom gone? The true freedom to choose our own path, which the good and just are quick to preach is the right of every sentient, yet which they attempt to deny us! Which they have denied us already !! The Zig is not so old in our memories. The indignity not so easily forgotten. The inhumanity not so easily forgiven.

I must apologise again. It is not my wont to rant so, but I cannot abide hypocrisy.

To continue with the matter at hand, the League cordially invites you to attend the first Grand Ball of the new Millenium, here in the Rogue Isles! We are certain it will be a night to remember. We trust that you will make it so.


Sincere Regards
Silk Noir
CEO, Noir Femme Design and Modelling Agency
Board of Directors, League of Associated Industries

(( Might want to tell us what Timezone your counting on 9pm is? Because if your in England, I'm in Denmark, I would show up at 9PM, only to find that I'm an hour early :P))

*Sticking the invitation to the Base board, Dark Seraphim ponders*

Could this be the oppertunity we have been waiting for, these puny humans could very well be my way to reconing with God and his "race of favor", I shall attend but with my sceptisism intact. I had better bring some of my Angels to this gathering, should it prove... futile

sounds interesting, i'll try and see if i can get anyone from my RP sg to show as well

IC- Lord Qel-Thyr reads over the message and thinks to himself

Interesting, a gathering of those viewed by Lord Recluse to be destined. this could prove useful in many ways. I must alert Lord Morbis to this event and plan our strategy on the night in question, who knows, we could walk away with quite a considerable advantage in the end. In any case, caution must be advised, so many Destined in one location is sure to attract some unwanted attention, i must start preparing at once...

[realised this when typing, lots (in theory of players showing, can you say LAG!!!)]

It's something I've just thrown together on the spur of the moment. I'm very good at winging. Planning too, but sometimes winging is more fun.

I realise the notice is short, though, so if there are enough people who would like to attend this but can't, I don't mind postponing it until Saturday. Would that suit all respondents so far? An extra day could go far, although I realise some of us actually do things in RL on weekends

If the response is truly overwhelming, then I may postpone it until next week, but since we need to get this going sooner rather than later, I'm actually quite loathe to do so.

I'll be along for sure; it was nice discussing this sort of thing with you that day.

I've recently hit level 14 with Eressos, so the SLM (Don't ask....) will most likely be along. I love the design of the zone, and the music's beautiful.

The timezone I'm using is GMT, which also happens to be the UK time atm. I, myself, am GMT+2, and will easily be online at least a full hour before the event.

So: Friday, December 2, 9pm (GMT)

Thank you Consider me as good as there!

Btw, if anyone needs a ride to Cap au Diable (although it shouldn't be too hard) Let me know, and I'll get you there (even if your level 1)

Mr Normal reads your note, shreds it into twenty three equally shaped pieces and acknowledges it.

It's about time someone thought of putting on a concert show, I believe Handel's Water Music will go well with this suit. Randall/Hopkirk, my going out suit if you would.

Just thought I'd point a slight error in wording of the thread title... "Role-Play Potential For All" then you say people should be at least level 10... Not exactly "for all" then really...

Small bit of pedantry, but I have to get my pedantic fix somehow...


Because I live in perpetual fear of being misinterpreted: This was intended in a spirit of light-heartedness, not in any way an attack on the poster's skills with the English language. I even used a smiley to illustrate this fact...

Cap au Diable? what an interesting choice of scenery,but how this got into the hands of yourself you ponder, oh well you'll just have to go there to fin out says Shadow

((consider me there if i can make it,and i dont see a reason why not))

Timekeeper glances as Tim places the envelope on her desk. "Ah I did wonder when i would be seeing that.." She looks up at her Merc "Send it back with my compliments, Tell her we'll come, but we'll come in our own time"

Tim nods and takes the envelope back, leaving the base

((pink has a date in CoH so i'll be a little later in getting on villains))

Grave Mistress opens the envelope passed to her by Crimson Fox.

"Hmmm... A gathering of the 'chosen ones'? How wonderfully pretentious! A pity... I does somewhat clash with our plans for the evening so I'm afraid we shall have to miss it, this time at least. Please be a darling and offer our regrets Fox, there's a good girl..."

Fox takes the envelope back with a nod and fades out of sight.

(( Sorry guys, would love to be there, but prior plans and all that! We'll try to catch a future one though!! ))

Do not go gentle into that good night.

(( No worries, Wonka. I got it Your tone was obvious enough, even without the smiley. You are correct, as well. Tsk.

Thanks for all the reponses, luvs. Whether or not this goes anywhere, I made the effort I promised certain people I would, and your responses have made me smile, and that is enough for me))

Gack, my connection went screwy early on and I had to drop out. How did things go?

I SEE ME, I SEE ME!!!

im the "mutant" in the black and gold flamed armor, and im a MUTANT!!! hissss

am looking forward to the future of this idea, and hopefully will be on tonight

out of interest, has there been a time set, or is it the same as yesterday?

(( omg. I got so caught up in all the things I had to do today that I completely forgot to post an update. My bad Same place and same time as yesterday. Everyone once again welcome, although coming tonight presumes that you are either with us, pretending to be with us, or don't have a clue about what went down yesterday and are hoping to find out ))


IC:
Silk Noir carefully places the private dossier of a certain highly placed subordinate in her 'out' tray. A little matter for Ellen to handle personally. This will be the last time a mistake of such magnitude will be made in her organisation. The invites for the follow-up to the Grand Ball will go out as promised, but at such a time as to be useless to their intended purpose. She sighs irritably. Such a scandal! The Noir family does not make mistakes of this nature. Mother will be quite upset... Silk grimaces.

Anyway, that is neither here nor there. She will just have to hope the invitees will come as *they* promised. Otherwise this could all get quite messy before the end. Well, it'll still get messy, but it's her job to limit the degree of... untidiness. It is irksome to be cleaning up after someon else, though. To fail in completely detroying the Senate - the League must have been under very poor management at the time. She should find out if any of the beaurocrats had families, and if they survive to this day. The human race may need some culling. She makses a mental note to look into it later. It's always a good idea to plan for the future.

If they do not come, then it will all balance. In the end... If they survive... there will be less competition to deal with. She frowns. It would be a waste of good resources, though.

OOC

My veiws on the first nights events.

After turning up late(half planned) i was happy to see so many turn up. some great looking toons guys well done Not to my suprise most of the chatter was bosts or snide remarks (all nicley done) Noir and her gang were still managing to keep some sort of order, That was untill some daft child turned up. I hope to see you all again very soon, Posting screen shots of every night is a very nice touch, For now anyway it may get boring very soon?

(( No, it's not nightly, although I would hope this encourages the various role-players on the server to initiate their own plotlines. Whether they take advantage of what we've begun or not We've already made arrangements with the interested parties to pursue our story/plot-thingy over time
