Quick update (cos I want to get playing 
)
Raid:
EVIL might be up for raiding us this evening - 7-7:30 ish so if you can be on for that would be good.
Also have two other VGs looking for Raids - and possibly a Hero v Villain - think we'd be the first to run one of these so would be good to get in the books...
That's it - can't resist the urge to SMASH any more I'm logging on.
Most certainly up for a hero raid, just say when:P
everyones favourite pirate will endeavour to attend =)

To: Demons and Vengeful Spirits Villain Group

.......RAID WARNING....... RAID WARNING..........
It has come to my attention that the Super Group "Art of War" is intending to attack your base. My spies have indicated that this is a retaliatory action for a mission that you don't have high enough clearance to know about.
I therefore direct you to gather your forces at around 9PM (UK time), tomorrow Monday the 30th of January and repel these forces from our shores. You are also granted permission to persue them back to their own base and destroy everything u see.
I know you will not let me down... because you know what will happen if you do.
/msg ends
Couldn't resist - sense of the theatrical came over me... very messy. They could field a full team so the more bods we can muster the better.

Afternoon all,
Just a brief reminder, Raiding this evening 9pm UK time vs Art of War SG.
Flammen I'll pop a post up this evening outlining what we think is appropriate for people to get promoted in the group (not that we're particularly formal about it)
Hope to see you all online tonight
Hi guys, I will send you a tell when we are all ready // should be good to go at 9:15 (waiting on some members to get back from work) so will see you later..
Good luck guys. lets have a decent raid
Hi SG.. this is kind a thread for the entire SG and the "leaders" of the SG, i have a problem with the current ranks of the SG, i mean we have 2 leaders and they actually decided everything about the sg.. the base design, raids and for example SG missions.. what if someone would like to start a SG mission at a time where the leaders arent online? i think we need to re-thing the ranks and at least the setting for the sg.. again this is a thread for debate..
There is no such thing as too much power
well you'd say 'hey, i fancy a sg sf, anyone want in?' and set it up. not nanotecnology or astrophysics old boy =)
yea but if u look in the ranks mate u cant start a SG mission as a soldier/minion, thats my point
There is no such thing as too much power
well if that's the case i agree with you and it needs changing =)
Good Fight gentlemen, would love to do that more often.
stormies make pirates cry ;p
Yeah good fight guys
Had fun..
good fight guys, dont think i will up for a rematch anytim soon, got some bruises to cool down, but sweet revenge with me FF MM was fun to repulse u guys, and repulsive i am 
Well that was a fantastic raid guys. Thanks for doing it. And yeah stormies rule! 
Really enjoyed that match guys best pvp fun i've had since the CoH S4 matches.
Hi all,
Firstly, may i say what a challenging and frantic raid that was. Full marks to our opponents who certainly made us work for what i'm calling a 'draw'
Secondly, with regards to SG management, please remember that given the recent departure (break?) of two of our founders the SG has undergone some radical restructuring and everything is far from perfect yet, so bear with us. Alot of the ranks within the SG were reduced to base (soldier) and people have yet to be promoted to ranks that reflect thier online presence/contibutions/leadership/general fabulousness etc. This shall be amended shortly.
Thirdly, i have noticed that the rank priveledges are a bit wonky at the moment, for example with the SG SF amoungst other things and this will also be amended as soon as i get back online (in fact i may go do it now).
Fourthly, this is indeed a thread for discussion and any and all suggestions for base design/tactics/SG events and the like are more than welcome. We are still getting the hang of this raiding stuff but every raid we do helps us enormously to guage what is and isn't working in the base and the tactics we are using. We have one of the best SGs and bases on the server and is the reason why we are as of yet unbeaten
Ok thats all for now, see you all online tomorrow, have a good one
Ciao

Quite frankly... oops! Sorry that permission will be changed (if Kitty hasn't done it already!).
The only reason we want restriction on things really is to protect the base integrity (as we've all invested a lot of time in earning the prestige to build it).
So the two restrictions on that are:
1) Base editing - simple really... we saw an example last night where someone had added a targetting module to one of the turrets and that had pushed us over the energy usage meaning the Raid TP didn't work (another rousing Sparky speech went to waste! ) Easy to fix and I totally understand whoever did it wanting to make the base even better... I think what kitty and I are hoping is simply to co-ordinate the base so its always running smoothly... With a bit of luck we'll soon have the new generator and contol which means we can place more goodies
2: Accepting Raids. Given that once Items of Power are in place, accepting a raid at a time when there aren't enough of us around to defend could lead to the PERMANENT destruction of the base (cos we couldn't afford to rebuild it) I think it makes sense to restrict this for now... (though its debatable if that risk even makes it worth having an IoP in the first place.... personally at the moment I don't think a 5% buff is worth it)
Rankings generally - all setup pretty quick as Kitty said by all means lets have suggestions - even though the leaders are called "Dictators" we're anything but - its YOUR SG at the end of the day.
Well done to our raiders from last night btw - toughest attack we've had yet - again the apparent imbalance between attackers and defenders was clear sadly but that's not our fault
Just posted re Raids and Item Of Power thoughts here:
Raids and Items of Power Feedback Post
Please add your thoughts guys.
would just like to add to the thanks for setting up the raid last night, yeah it was a really tough one (adding storm trollers to my list of pvp phobias 
). Twas good fun, shame we couldn't put up as much resitance on the defence for the AoW guys...but as Sparky said, we are learning with every raid so chalk another one up on the board.
again a big thanks to Art of War and to Sparky and the crew for setting this up
where is the problem?? :P then u can work on your debt badges
just se debt as a opportunity to play abit more of this wonderful and great game..... yea okay.. that was abit much... but hey u know me, im a opportunitist
