Militia Thursdays

Just forseen the first RL problem with this thursaday for everyone ... x-men 3 is out lol

Ok guys I made a Elec/devices blaster on Union called Extrisity. The bio I will post aswell.
Greetings,
D.

X3 looks great but I'll be impressed if it can combine plot and action as well as X2 did.

Thanks for letting me know about your defender AT.

Dutch

Thanks for the info, great name by the way. I haven't read your bio yet but I will soon. Since I started all of this I don't even seem to get around to playing COH much, there's always something to respond to or read

I suppose it's all good for my brain, and in between problems I'm enjoying the process.

Battleflag.

I'm sure I spend more time on the forums than in-game too.

Alll good stuff.. Can i ask a few q / make a few comments.

1. 7-9pmp? might intefere with a lot of dinners? Certainly would for me. Might not 8-10pm be a better choice as it allows people to come home from work, sling a pizza in the oven and have a cursory chat with family before settling down ?

2. Regarding AT. I wouldnt mind doing a Kheldian AT if thats ok. Might be a challenge to RP. Otherwise Ill do a tank or defender (might even delete my lvl 24 tank to restart from lvl 1 ) Whats the opinion on this?

3. Any chance of doing a similar project for CoV? Im finding it reaaly hard to do RP as a CoV'er as it can be misintepreted too easily. More need for CoV type thingymajig if you ask me. Would anyone be interested in starting up a parallel group Tuesday 8-10pm, maybe after issue 7?

4. Keep a slot for me!

Top Idea btw! Looking foward to it. I hope the focus will be more on fun and RP than crunching levels as fast as possible. Having said that - lets make sure we get spelunker badge heh?

I don't know how some people are constantly needing to ask for that badge. I can't seem to *not* get it with my characters.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder -

*Flashback to first toon at level 33 spamming desperate plea's in Perez Park*

Hey guys just a few sugestions and questions

1. are we meeting this thursaday at 7?

2. i think at least PB or WS could work story wise as the ministry seems to have ask heroes from all walks of life.. y not some of the most powerful like the PB and WS army soilders?

2. I think we should try to all get to lvl 6, at first session so we can have a better ic story of our travel powers or pool powers( if u take them that early), and to add on that at this level we will have some basis for our powers and later powers can be explain in a different manner

i.e blitz "Congnito i didn't no u could transform into a giant energy beetle!" Cognito " u never asked"

Blitz "hey guys just got this delevoped this week. Being toying with naplam for a while, itching to test my new blazing arrow"

Battleflag " Whoa dante, didn't no u could fly that fast!" dante "ya being praticing"

Not that i wanna tell anyone how to rp!!!! far from it !!! i was just thinking of continuity issues with new powers coming.And at lvl 6 yet get either lower forms of future powers or travel and pools power first power choices what do u think?

Dont mind either way... both got advantages...

Something quite appeals about doing it from level 1, as complete "New" heroes... fresh out of the radation chamber / laboratory / martial art school etc

1: Yup

2: Most powerful? Nah, just different. Though as for including, up to someone else I suppose. I personally don't mind either way.

2: I believe this should be 3. Also getting to level 6 in two hours? That's going to be kinda a rush. It's probably best to just, y'know, take it as fast as it goes. If it takes a while to get new powers that's how it goes.

After all, it's all fun and games playing with napalm. The real trick however is figuring out quite how you're going to put it in that arrow. That could take a while.

• I've already counted you in. As for the timing, sorry but I log around about nine most nights, I'm a pretty early riser so it's bed before 11pm for me and coh just before bed is bad for my sleep patterns.

• Kheldian's fine, you'll be our unusual feature aside from all of the strange personalities that is.

• I don't have cov, I played the trial and loved it but I don't have time to play that as well.

• Hopefully, we'll have a mix of IC banter and solid exp without watching for segments all night. If we're playing well we should forget about that.


Blitz

• Yes, we're meeting this Thursday at 7pm—I expect no guarantees just do your best to be there.

• Sorry PB? WS? I'm still learning the lingo.

• Let's try not to worry too much about lev targets. We'll be able to make exp up after the Thursday session. Look back to page 11 to see the comments about acceptable leving outside of session. I'll post something about that on Thursday—somebody remind me please.

• As to your last point about continuity I'm not all that concerned. I understand your point but I'm not ready for full on detailed rp yet myself, I'm keen to just get used to working in character first(IC play's the focus). Good thinking though!

Ashen

• Your points seem pretty sound to me.

I hope I've responded to all of the questions and comments satisfactorily. Sorry if I seem dismissive about things but I've discovered that it's necessary for me to take charge with so many different ideas and views.

All input gratefully received. Thanks.

PB - Peacebringer
WS - Warshade

These are the two Kheldian types available to those that have reached level 50. I know pretty much nothing about them as in 15 months of playing this game I have never got above level 22.

I'm sure someone else can actually give you more info about what they're for...

7pm - 9pm may be akward but I see what I can do

I would suggest it would be highly valuable to create a SG from scratch, as we can post messages and keep track of each others levels. If you want, I can use a higher level alt to start of the SG, invite you all, then log on as my RP toon (and you invite him).

Dont care anything about leadership / etc. Its just a practical way we can track our levels and membership so things dont get too out of keel.

Glad to know I'm not alone there Wonka. I've been going for almost a year now and none of mine have got above 16! I think it's mainly to do with having too many ideas for characters and the trying to play them all at the same time. Gods help me when CoV arrives later this week...

Battleflag, glad to know the emphasis is on pure, fun gaming. I'm looking forward to building experience and trying out this new powerset but having fun roleplaying as well. I have thought of a story arc for my character but as you said, we'll see how it goes.

Wonka

Thanks for the explanation.

Cognito

The levels shouldn't get out of hand because each week after the session, we will have a limit that anyone can progress to before the following week. See page 11 for details. I'll post something as a reminder near Thursday. Basically, at the end of a session, if everyone was lev 6 or 7ish we'd agree that by next session no one should be higher than lev 9 or 10 for example. that way, although there will be some lev difference, it shouldn't be much.

All I can say is "I CAN'T WAIT TILL THURSDAY AT 7!"

my word! this was only on 5 pages when i last checked! i edited a bit of my bio...forgot to add my new identity. looking forward to thursday myself.

Cognito: Already have the SG set up with a higher-level character, don't worry.

Secondly, I just realised that my character is actually at level 2, which is what you get to no-matter-what if you do the Tutorial. If this would be a big problem, let me know before Thursday, and I'll just re-roll.

Add me to the list of people getting rather excited about this.

Are we meeting in Atlas at level 1, or Outbreak at level 1?

Regarding Toons: I have a rather nice Mind/Storm troller idea I would like to try out, but build is very tight to get all my concept in. Do you think its possible to skip a travel power (if we have a freindly Peacebringer / Teleported / Kineticist in team?)

Nice on with the pre-arranged SG - I think we should go with that

i wouldn't mind meeting in the tutorial, we could say ur testing our abilities battleflag lol. Plus im a sucker for the isolator badge..

As I understand it, we're all meeting at Atlas Park, under the sky reaching statue on 0 xp. No Outbreak, nothing. Right from scratch.

Cognito

Please note, 7pm meet up:

Oh, Cognito, I see you've planned your character ahead, I've never done that myself. I probably should. Anyway, as far as travel powers go I'd say stick with your concept. There should be enough mixture to make getting around no problem.

Universe

I know what you mean; commenting on these boards has taken over my life. What's COH again?


Blitz

Sorry, it's straight to Atlas.

Max

Thanks for organising the SG. As regards your level, if you could reroll so we're all on 0 exp I'd be grateful--a nice, clean start really appeals!

COULD EVERYONE TYPE "MILITIA" INTO THEIR TEAM SEARCH PLEASE, WE'LL BE EASIRE TO SPOT.

I'm really pleased everyone's so keen to get started, me too

Battleflag

Aaaaaaargh I cant decide what concept to play... Advice appreciated:

4 working themes:

A (all human) peacebringer, philosopher type who ponders over his identity and the nature of "self". My concern is how easy is it to roleplay an alien?

A mind/storm controller or storm/psi defender who has empathic abilities to control and manifest fear. His own personal phobia is storms, and thus he can manifest these powers. I like this idea and concept, but the build is very very tight

A tech fire/mace tanker "Hephastion". A disabled genuis metallurgist has constructed a metal capable of withstanding and channeling superhot temperatures. He models himself after Hephasteus, greek god of metallurgy. I also like this concept, but might be a bit "gimped", and I suppose will have to take acrobatics which doesnt fit into concept.

Lastly, a claws/dark scrapper. Descendent of a middle ages witch who was unjustly tortured and killed by the "inquisition". The witch swore on oath of justice (that it be used correctly) and all the descendants have the power to summon the spirit/death of the original - including the blades of her totrurer. Again, I like this concept but it kinda dictates a female superhero, and I dont know how easy it is to RP a female (being male myself).

Any comments on what would be useful to team, and fun to play?

Roleplaying an "alien" is quite easy I'd imagine. You just have to look at everything from their perspective. Things you take for granted would be fascinating or mind boggling.

I love all your concepts though, my favourite though is the Storm defender
