Militia Thursdays

I'm as follows:

Lotus_X, Masked Angel, Meriam Keser

Looking very much forward to tonight's session

Leif Roar, Diamondskin, Richard "Rooster" ... Errr, something.

On another note, I doubt I'll be able to make it tonight.

Hot_Head, Tatters, Marcus Phillips

I won't be able to make it tonight, I'm afraid and Tatter's future with the Militia may be in doubt due to RL commitments and lack of time to level him up etc. I'll let you all know either way...

UltraNova. Hyper Drive. Project :hyper or H

And Im a scrapper!

And if anyone needs help lvling, blitz is more than happy to help his old friends anytime of the week. Does anyone wanna arrange a catch up session?

Hi all,
I think it is fairly obvious from my departure today that I am a little disillusioned with these team up sessions. So I am handing in my resignation from the team. Hope you all have fun yourselves however.

-Things were a bit disjointed last night Shalefist. When you logged on, we were still in a bit of a chaotic situation trying to get teams sorted out, which didn't end for another half-hour or so

To whom it may concern, I'm afraid I'm going to pull out of the Militia. Just don't have enough time to dedicate to it.

I'll post something about Tatters in the IC thread when I have a chance - weekend, probably.

Anyway, thanks for the team-ups guys. Hope you all have fun!

Morning all. How many times did we die last night?

Gotta say, that last night was fantastic once it got going. Took a little time to get there but once we started it was great for teamwork, roleplay and xp. I hope everyone else had as good a time as I did.

However, we should address a few issues. We are a large team and so we need to co-ordinate how we team up better. A lot of the problems came because of late arrivals, but that should be expected and we should have something in place to deal with that. For example, if we have two teams of eight going and another person turns up, we should regroup to sort it out. Any ideas welcomed.

Another thing that I think we need to consider (and input from more experienced roleplayers is most welcome here) is how we respond to non-RP people in the game. Our gatherings under Stargazer are attracting attention and I’d be keen to see other people’s take on how we handle curious parties who decide to tag along. Also, if non-RPers want to join the team on a mission, do we accept? Personally, I think no as it disrupts RP but it’s a toughy, so I thought I’d ask and see what others think.

Sorry to see two of our number leaving, you will be missed. But for me, this is rapidly turning into the highlight of my week so thanks everyone for making it so enjoyable.

I think I died 8 times last night. I also earned a new badge, "Tough", for having sustained 100'000 hp worth of damage. Quite proud actually.

As far as handling non-rp:ers go. I'd say, play your role. No matter what they throw against you. Derek tho is probably not the smartest choice in handling non-rp:ers since he basically talks like an online brat. "Yo dude. Sup? We gonna take frosty or what?". People with more noticable roleplayed ways of talking like Force or Triston or Hawkshaw, so the non-rp:ers actyually realise that we're all rp:ing.

And I second that these sessions are the gaming highlights of my week. Sorry you two are leaving. Great too still have everyone else around me as friends and fellow "soldiers".


Regards.

It looks like Angel got off easy with only two "deaths", both attributable to one or more purple Igneous creatures.

I am very sorry to see two of us leaving, the Militia will not be the same without Tatters, and Shalefist's character I never even got the chance to meet properly .

That said, I am also in the choir of people looking forward to the Thursday night sessions as an absolute gaming highlight, and feel that we have some well-established characters, roles and relations already.

As regards the teaming, it's probably difficult to deal with all eventualities up-front. Perhaps, however, the lesson from yesterday could be that there will probably always be late arrivals, and if we have one or two full teams at the outset, we may have to prepare for a plan B, or perhaps even start out with three smaller teams, if we are pretty certain that more people will turn up.

The "interest" from non-Rp'ers in our meet-ups seems similar to what has been mentioned as a problem in connection with the GG-meetings. I would generally try as Derek/Vlostok to take it IC, but some things (like people flirting with Angel) are more easily dealt with IC than others (such as Power-spamming and completely pointless spamming of remarks).

Finally, we probably all get a lot of tells asking for team invites. I normally respond by saying that we are doing an IC/RP thing and directing them to the Militia thread to find out more if they're interested. Most people seem to accept that, and some express an interest to join, which would be great.

RL has been a bit hard on my gaming time in the past weeks. I will try to do some catching up with Angel and my COV IC toon Shadow Whisper over the weekend - I hope to meet some of you IC too (and to think I also still have all the new COV 40+ content waiting to be done )

I'll be aiming to get Hawkshaw up a few levels over the weekend too, inbetween revision sessions, so I'll be happy to team up if anyone's around. (And *I* still have level 15+ of CoV to do )

hi guys,

i'm really sorry to do this, but i am going to have Leave the militia.

life's quite busy at the minute, and when i do have time to play, i'm usually on the defiant server.

i'll stay on the militia chat though, so we can still chat and what not.

so this is Booster regretfully signing off.

it's been fun

I'm afraid I'm having to give some thought to giving coh a miss for a while, I don't want to but my time is under serious demands at the moment. I just thought I'd let you all know in case anyone wanted to take over. I'm still playing for now but I don't think I'll be able to last much longer.

Well this didn't last long...

It doesn't have to be over just because a few people leave. This happens to superteams all of the time; they evolve.

Ok we may need to have a roll call of people still interested in regular meet ups... (as opposed to irregular ones)

Force Commander (Def) remains up for it

Hyper Drive Scrapper

Masked Angel, Scrapper remains on board
