'Cause I'm a glutton for punishment...

Okay, that last question I put up on a British themed SG got a few responses, but by the time I managed (with help) to figure out the themes the SG would have, we all got pulled off topic (no-ones fault).

So, in the mad, desperate hope that people might be interested, I'm re-posting the idea of the SG.

Okay, people seem interested in this. However, I'm going to clarify what the themes are going to be.

BRITISH, firstly. That includes the Welsh, the Irish, and the Scots as well as the English. Hell, if you wanted maybe you could even add an Indian character who was persuaded to join because his government and the English one want to improve relations (that is PURELY an idea, it should be pointed out.)

Secondly, government sponsored. As was said in an earlier post (FROM THE FIRST THREAD), that way we have a little more leeway from both a technical point of view, and why the characters would join.

Thirdly, I want to try and see how the characters would deal with their prejudices against each other. For example, the Englishman who thinks all the Irish are drunken idiots run into the calm, intelligent Bellfast man, or (to go for REGIONAL differences) the Sheffield man who dislikes Londoners because he feels they're all "Stuck-up snobs" actually meets a Londoner who isn't majorly stuck-up. In short, it could be about how they find their prejudices are off the mark (or the opposite, of course).

And finally, I want to point out that this is NOT GG specific. You like RP? You like the idea? Then feel free to join. Simple as that.

So... anyone interested?

I don't really do SGs, but War Crow will enjoy laughing at you all if you get it going, so you've got my support.

And we could all laugh back at the welsh mountain boy...

Red, I'm interested, but Miss Ellie (A London girl) is currently in the Cirque... And I honestly have not been able to play an alt long enough to get into it...

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Heheh. On, the joys of laughing at the Welsh...

Hmm. Um, FF, stop me if I go off the mark here, but wasn't Ellie considering leaving the Cirque at one point? Now, if I'm barking up the wrong tree, tell me. I'm making NO demands for you to leave an SG you'd enjoy.
As for an Alt, well, we all know how hard those are to do on a regular basis (unlike Zortel, who could possibly alt the entire X-Men and various spinoffs cast and STILL find time to play her own).

Hmm.... Since Ves is taking a little bit of a time out these days (but you'd know that from reading the Alliance forum wouldn't you Saint??) I've got some free time to play around with a few alts, and i have been meaning to try my hand at a blaster (and stick with it for once, they keep wandering off into deletes ville) Looks like it might be time for a young man from the scumym council estates of Rochdale to make an entrance in Paragon City, I'll give you a shout on Sunday (providing Freya hasn't turned Ves into a pile of ash by then)

As yet, she is undecided.

She's torn between loyalty to her 'family', and some distastefull activities.

I might be really lazy and such, as I almost always am, but... What server would this be on, and would it be villain-based or whatever? I've only got CoV, and I'd like to meet some Roleplayers.

Then again, SG means Supergroup right? Guess that is Hero stuff...

[/ QUOTE ]Most RP'ing happens on union hero side, which this applies to as well.

Also, both Hero and Villain 'guilds' are called SG's (and yes, that means supergroup).

Okay... well, how would she reactto a discreet letter being left on her doorstep from the Ministry of Superhuman Affairs (my take on the English Supers Agency)?

Sadly, this is hero stuff, but Super Group can be used to refer to both heroes AND villains.

I guess we'll see should such a letter arrive.

But it would have to be of pretty great import, as Miss Ellie has retired from hero activities. She's persuadable, but it would have to be pretty important... Something to think about

Oh, and that's very likely what such a UK government department WOULD be called!

Ministry of Paranormal Affairs (Superhuman tends to promote feelings of Inferiority amongst the Normal Humans and they succesfully sued to have it changed.) One such claimant sited £5,000 in mental scarring from not having a Ministry to protect her. Hence the Ministry for Normal Affairs was set up and a ex-disgraced Cabinet Minister was set up to run it.

Not at all, there was direct evidence that the stain on her dress was NOT caused by a cigar in anyway.

For you, Weasel, sanity was something that happened to other people, wasn't it.
Call in the men in the white coats. Next!

Sanity is a direct anagram of SY AIN'T.

Makes you think, doesn't it.
