I keep getting spurious SG invites from people while fighting, etc., but that's not the way I join things

I'm looking for an SG that has a similar membership to my main 'guild'( www.phoenixlegion.co.uk - pretty huge guild and mainly adult membership but only 2 or 3 of them play CoH )

I'm *coughs* over40 *coughs* so prefer not to play in a guild with teenagers, to be honest they get annoying in more than small doses. I'm a grumpy old fart and happy that way

Previously played most other MMOGs and enjoyed them, but after 6 or 7 months most of them have run their course (except UO which lasted me for 4 years). Just quit playing WoW after getting totally bored with the grind, still log into GW sometimes, and still play EVE, otherwise now just playing CoH.

I looked through the SG recruitment thread but it's a bit haphazard and a lot of it looks very out of date.

Any other old farts out there in a friendly SG that may be recruiting?

I'm happy to RP if anyone's into that, but I don't feel very superheroish at L8 I have to say

You don't specify the server, but if you are on Union:

Send me a /tell next time you're online, mate. The SGs of which I am a part are mostly adults (although we don't necessarily always act that way ), and I myself am 40 so I know where you're coming from

I would recommend Darkwings or Agency on CoH (Union) if you want the company of other old farts... *ducks and runs before the rest of the SG lynch me*

Oh, and download TeamSpeak and get yourself on the Union server (see info in the 'What's on Union' sticky at the top of this board) - you can generally find us on there...

Global handle (as it says in my sig): @Doc

Nice to see you noticed this thread, doc. I got 90% of the way through posting a rely which was telling him to contact you, but decided against it at the last minute

And it's likely he's on Union, since he posted it in the Union - heroes board (another senior moment there )

:edit: PS, I'm also a miserable sod. Welcome to the club

There are only three alternatives. It thinks were either a threat, food, or a mate. Its gonna either kill us, eat us, or hump us.

Thanks Doc, I'll get in touch tomorrow. I'm trying to make a final decision on what character to play.

Looking like I'm settling on a tanker, just need to decide which mix of CoH tanking I'll play Stone/Stone is fun so far...

Ooooh! A fellow Lancastrian to boot! Sadly, I live in Wiltshire these days, but I'm originally from Preston born and bred...

Picky, picky! You need to cut me some slack, since I'm almost an OAP...

And, as anyone that I regularly team with will tell you, my brain isn't what it used to be. I blame it on an excess of substance abuse in my younger years - nothing to do with the onset of senility at all. Now, where was I...?

Yay more old farts for Darkwings!

I'll take the blame for that one - no character in my sig - now fixed

Apparently there is this thing called "Real Life Offline" that I have subscribed to (unknowingly I might add) and have been signed up for a raid this evening to complete the "Wife's Birthday Dinner" mission.

It involves travelling "outside" *shudders* and a change of costume too. I expect it to be very stressful, but I shall do my best to pull all the aggro from the waiters so the rest of the team are able to finish off the desserts.
