Glad to have had the opportunity to do some teaming as 'Red Earth' last night guys. From level 4 - 10 you really can't complain. May continue to try to get to 12 before the weekend so if there are any plans to do one of the low level taskforces I can pick and choose between Earth or Cleaver.
May need Sunday afternoon for DMM as my brother and sister-in-law are off Sunday (the only definite day they have off but that's catering professions for you). However CoV seems to be what most of the other guys are into at the moment , and as I am enjoying CoH better then I may still be available if anything is planned. Of course real life may have to come first for some of you (yes there is a real life I'm sure I saw it the other day hehehe)
Planning to play DK tonight and see if I can get the last 2 bars for 35 as well as seeing whether I can unlock the Croatoa TF which I started but left for a few levels so now I'm seeing lots of grey bad guys, shall have to see. The first mission in the TF is a great one to do even if just for the +3 enhancements.
Have also 'put the feelers' out to my 'other mates' in DMM about a coalition. I could not personally see a problem as to me it's a joining of two small SGs that have good seasoned friendly players and who I'm fortunate to be friends with on both sides. (SG advertising plug ends 
)
People may say 'why not just make a single SG ?' but as we're mostly long term players I suppose we could have a too many chiefs situation ("WHO BOUGHT THIS BASE ITEM WITHOUT MY PERMISSION !!!!" , "WHO SPENT ALL THE PRESTIGE" - Yes Da Mystery Men have had that situation lol ) so I think the coalition is the best of both worlds and is the next best thing to being a single unit.
It would be cool to have a mixture of the two SGs teaming on large missions. Get our 50s out it would be a blast so I'm really hoping we can get a coalition organised.
Point of note. I have set up a macro as opposed to a bind for the "Marras" channel and it works ok except I have to type the first character twice for it to appear that explains the 'i mate', instead of 'Hi mate' that should have been sent. 
This is the end of the novel. Hope you get your internet connection sorted soon K and it's possible you will probably not be seeing this as you are not connected so why am I saying it I ask myself? Oh well I digress.
Laters marras
Oh yeah the coalition.
I suggested it to Dutchy and Blade last night, to coalition with Da Mystery Men. Anyone have any problems with that or can think of any good reasons why? They're checking if their SG might have any issues with it too.
Basically we had a few weeks of weirdness between some of our group, and they might not be completly happy with the idea.
Yeah get Red Earth to 12 man, am looking forward to having a dedicated SG Kinetics-er
Heh we had a 'WHO'S BEEN MESSING WITH MY BASE?!' issue once too, but it wasn't a big issue in the end.
I'm guessing your bind is:
/bind h beginchat /send marras
If so, one idea could be to change it to another key 
like [ or ]. Another idea is to change it to put the 'h' at the end:
/bind h beginchat /send marras H
lol, but that would get annoying cause most of the time you won't be starting with an H, and you'll have to delete it...

I used /macro MC beginchat /send "Marras"
as I like clicking .I copied it from another thread, maybe incorrectly, and just substituted the /bind t and it seems to work apart from what I mentioned previous.

This would be a great idea except I may forget and have 'Hhi mate' which could be misconstrued as a speech impediment

You mean my dressing up the base as it was as empty as an something thats real empty. Was only doing it to make it feel like home 
on other note I don't mind the coalition. So there you have my permission
And I don't mind doing a litle tf with Dutch Courage am also at DO lvl so I want to slot up soon. Are we still planning to finish the TF with the other toons soon or will we wait until the con of K and C is fixed completly?
Will see you when I see you Dutchi
PS. Man my lengt of posts seem to pale compared to Techies and Blade.
Heya all! I think our conn is fixed now. C had it working last night, so hopefully can finish the tf tonight if u guys are up for it? I'd rather not have black locked into not being able to mish for much longer since i wanna get her to 30 by the weekend But i can always hunt about for a bit if you guys dont fancy it tonight. Plus i am again alone tonight since C is on lates and doesnt get in until 11ish, so team with me
Yup we teamed with C for a while last night, he was on as HAWK The Hunter . I got this random tell from him and was like 'omg HAWK is still alive!', didn't even remember him till then! So looks like your connection is good to go again...
Definitely keen to knock out this Position TF tonight too. Or at least get through it as far as possible. Don't want Poweramp stuck there too long either.
Dang I'm enjoying my blasters. Electrosity has some real nice AoEs, and can take down a decent sized mob of evens pretty damn quickly. Poweramp is a massive blapper, and his ice powers are real nice too Both are at 12 now, not sure who I'll be focussing on tho, probably switch around depending who's on and what lvl.
I was thinking about my fav AT last night (to Play, not 'in general'). Or rather trying to think of which it was. I think in order of preference:
Tanker
Controller
Corrupter
Blaster
Scrapper
Brute
Dominator
Defender
Stalker
Mastermind
... (all future ATs)
Kheldian (either)
Now that was a surprise to me. I know that defenders aren't 'my thing', so that wasn't too big a deal... But notice the weird progression from Controller to Brute? I haven't played Dominators or MM yet, so don't really know where they lie.
Shrug.
So, not to miss out your post, but I am rushing since it almost time to log off and go home, all ok for 9.30 start tonight? I have a previous 'date' with my sister at the cinema so won't be back until then. Would that be alreet? Oh and btw, it is HEED

Nooooooo, it's HEAD!
Yeah no worries, when ya get in ya get in, there's plenty to do otherwise
Enjoy the film!
Well that was an interesting evening, must have spent like an hour in the ski-ramp room in Frosty with the gang
Sigh.
Weird.. After we finished Positron last night, I realised that my favourite blaster, poweramp, was no longer my favourite... It's Electrosity. I dunno why. I was standing there as Poweramp and wanting to log off so I could play Electrosity.
Well, not sure of the plans tonight. I think we're all pretty much ready for Positron with our little 12 toons.. Again . I think Poweramp is 13 now, unfortunately he wasn't going to have a travel power at 14, and getting to 16 to get one seems a little far right now, lol. So I'll bet that Elec gets off the ground first, by a long shot.
Laters!
The frosty mish are the longest mish in the game cause of that sky ramp thing.
I don't know witch one I'm gona play tonight too will see it when I log on again.
See you laters Marras!
I seem to be feeling exactly the same.Not sure what to log in as. I think I might try and get Earth to 12 and need to get DK through Croatoa where I left it a bit long and all mission foes are grey. Tough getting to lvl 35 when hittin 29s lol
Oh well I'll be on in some form or other maybe we'll do Frostfire again. They need a giant ice half pipe in Atlas, It's better than dancing under the statue - much more fun.

lol, ya know, after doing Frosty again last night, and spending another hour or so chatting/sliding/playing paper-scissors-rock in the ice ramp, I'm rather glad that we've run out of missions on him Time better spent to levelling I think! Not that we weren't doing that in spades anyway, heh.
So we have a new addition to our little group. Static Healer, a neat little Emp/Elec defender joined our crew. He's quiet (unlike the rest of us!) and does a good job, and I like his elec attacks when stacked with Electrositys ones
Let's see how he fares when P finds him in there... Meeting her is like a rite of passage lol (sorry hun)
In other news, the toons I was thinking we'd take through Positron are now reaching the upper limits of getting anything out of it. When they ding 16 there won't be any XP gains while running it, or any enhancement drops (bar the final SO). Shall we still do it?

That reminds me of the first time I teamed with you guys as Mighticle when there was a Peacebringer on the team. I recall her accusing him of powerleveling because he did something wrong. I kept my head down I can tell you.
I'd say your lucky if she likes you because you sort of feel like you've earned a medal if she lets you into her circle of friends. (hope she doesn't read this, I might get kicked out of the circle. hehehe )

Well I have 3 toons still in the range. I'd like to do it. I know we occasionally like a spur of the moment TF but as it's a long one we might have to split it if we start in the week. I'd definitely like to give it a try. When it's mutually convenient for everyone of course.

Meh, I wouldn't be surprised, most kheldians are powerlevelled most of the way. Definition of most = more than 50%.

Well I want to do it with Electrosity. He's 14.5 now, so I want to start it tonight. I'll be home around 6pm (UK), so anyone who wants to join I'll put it over SG chat.
The other night I was talking to P, and she said I should have just called him Electricity... I said 'hun, it means 'Elect(ric Monst)rosity', like my seach comment says' . I thought it was a great name, since he's so freakishly tall! 
Mmm, lunchtime.

Yeah sounds a good name to me Mighty Icicle - Mighticle
Us guys are really creative aren't we? (btw it isn't pronounced My Tickle ok )
So we are doing another Positron, sounds ok, I"ll log in as either Dutch Courage or Silent Shrieker whatever catches my fancy then.
A comment on creative names, He you make the most interesting names, I hope I make some good ones too
(I'm a bit of creative guy myself )

Like I said in the 'funny names' thread, Dutch Courage is one of the best names I've seen
How's it pronounced if it's not My Tickle? Erm, My Tysel? Hmm.
Yeah bring DC on dude, if Trig and Static join that'll be cool too, but Trig might want to keep lvling, though since he's new to CoH he might wanna see the hero version of their SFs. Though not sure if Posi is a great example of that, Synapse would be a better introduction
After the internal tension last night, I want something of my chest.
I agree to the new policy of letting new members team with the founding six before we accept them into our midst.
On an other note I want to tell something, Tech told us P feels bad we dont team with her if she comes on alone. I find this a bit upsetting, cause I dont mean to not to team.
I consider P an really good player, who saved my reckless backside more times then I can count. She is one of the reasons I kept playing and developed a rather good sense what a good team is. Conscious or subconscious, I keep comparing teams to her (and other members of the Ascended) . I would rather give up a team, with whom I am gaining really good XP and havent died in hours, to team with her, just cause I know she could do better.
This is the end for me on this matter, unless someone responds .
Lets just play and have fun, Ascended Forward!!!!
PS. Im thinking finishing the TF tonight? Or are we gona play other toons.

I feel the same. I have told her that if she is alone that if she wants to team, all she has to do is ask. If I can make it then it'll never be a problem. Then again maybe she doesn't want to because I suck lol.
Trouble is I never know if she doesn't want to be disturbed so I never ask her in case. That's my shyness rearing its ugly head again I suppose.

My sentiments exactly. Can't really add anything to that.
And if your up to continuing then I shall be their for the TF.
Hmm...
Well I told her that if she doesn't mention she's not waiting for me, that you guys wouldn't know if you should offer up teams or anything. I think it was just one of those spur of the moment type issue, that probably isn't a problem, but I don't think she'd be happy with any of this on the forums.
Anyway, so we finally finished our 2nd Positron. Holy damn that was a LONG annoying TF. Honestly even the first Shadow Shard TF was fun in comparison. Anyway it's over and I'm pretty sure we can say we won't be doing THAT again soon!
They need to fix the TF, remove all the stinking vahzilok, and make it so it's worth doing at the levels you're supposed to do it, rather than only viable while exemping for badge-hunters.
So, our toons are still moving, and my little Ice/Stone tank Shrug is quite fun (though lvl 11 is when most things kill it), though I've since found another Ice/Stone tank has just been made by The Spad too, so I'm not as unique and crazy as I'd thought I was
Ah well.
Anyone want to do anything special this week/weekend?
I have nothing special planned tho I might wana be lvling my little stalker to the higher lvls. I wana be a killer in Sirens but I"m not slotted good enuff for it.
I probaly gona lvl other toons too whatever catches my mood at the time.
I will probably be chipping away towards 38 with DK, so maybe soloing or joining a team that is inexperienced is on the cards . However if you guys want to team with the lower alts then I won't mind doing that either.
I'd like to do the Croatoa TF if possible sometime soon. I need that badge for the Geas of Kind accolade. Think I may need 1 or 2 of the defeat badges too but I already have the 3 GM badges and plaques. The +3 single origins will be useful too . It would be good if the SG was up for it.
Enjoyed the Hess task force the other Sunday morning. If we could get the Moonfire one done then that would be nice. If it's not exclusive to The Ascended, and Da Mystery Men are included, then Lord is always up to a challenge if he is available.
Finally I just wanted to say that I was a bit disappointed to miss out on the Positron badge even after you guys waited on the last mission so that I would possibly get it ( this was very much appreciated). I'll get it eventually I'm sure.
In a way I'm glad I didn't though because I always tend to feel that if I haven't done all the missions then I haven't really deserved it anyway which I suppose, in theory, makes sense, but that's just me I suppose. To be honest though, it's more about teaming with friends than the badge (unless it's an accolade to improve my powers - this does not include the Crey CBX-9 freeze gun though )
I'll see you in Paragon City guys.
Blade

Yeah dude I'm sure we could rally the troops I know Skull doesn't have it, but Tech does. I'm guessing we'll have 4 scrappers again, so Skull might be more useful

Well I've always thought of coalitions as 'extended family' (spot the polynesian ). And even though DMM don't seem to consider us such, they're always welcome .

Yeah dude we weren't happy about that either . We were just SO annoyed at that TF by the end, we really couldn't go through it again, it was such a [censored] one. We'll power though it another day when we exemp down with SOs for ya . No sweat going back for it, I've done it a few times. It's just doing it while the right levels. Sorry Static Healer missed out on it too. I know he was as gutted at the length of time it took as the rest of us, and is probably glad to be out!
I'm home early today, and can't think of anything to do apart from play, so I'll be in there soonish.
Laters!
After the seeing the movie "The Italian Job" (remake), I feel it's a time to take a little break from CoX (only a real short break ) So I'm planning to take out the Thief game I have laying arround and do a little sneaking. Tho I might do it an hour or so and just come back to CoX. Don't know what I can play tho, you have any suggestions.
I was thinking of making a Tank one day or maybe a defender... *goes to ponder about this*
Wow that was quite a fun night.
. Highlights were our little Pentad team, one of each AT, blitzing missions, think we only had 3 plants in the whole evening, and I was very impressed by how few it was.
Dragged a new guy kicking and screaming into our little SG, a cool little tanker on his first CoH toon, he's a villain at heart.
Had one of the biggest levelling nights that I can remember, must have seen almost 20 dings or so
Well the next plan is to start Positron again, with this other group of toons. I see Electrosity, Dutch Courage, HAWK the Hunter, Triggarin, and Red Earth (or Red Cleaver) all set to go on it. Think we should get them all to 12 first though, should be near enough, Electrosity is there now, and I need to stock him up with DOs... sweet sweet DOs.
Damn running late for work, doh. Catch yas!
