I'm honestly not trying to control anything. As a demonstration of how little I want to control things, here you are: If you want I'll post a cancellation notice on everything I've said about the IC meet up.
Aisla, I have no wish to disagree with you in any way so please don't see the tone of this as being that. Would you like me to Cancel the whole idea? It really isn't a problem.

Actually, Battleflag already took care of comments as he first suggested to meet in Atlas, then changed his mind and proposed the Corps building in Galaxy City.
Now, at 7pm, there is noone at the statue so who cares if he sets a meeting point at the statue or not ?
Still, the Corps building or the statue, they are not far from each other. Fusing the two can be a possibility just to enhance/maintain GG as a focal point.

Cancel? Heck no. I like the idea, in fact, I found myself somewhat disappointed I came across it too late, as I would have liked to have given it a go as well. 
What I am trying to get at, is that in organising something like this, which can be such a good thing, you also need to bare in mind the things outside your idea.
Strange as this may sound, after having played the devil's advocate both here and on the other tread, I hope it succeeds and becomes something good. But I believe in order for it to succeed, you need to keep in mind many of the points I have made here and in the other thread, so as to -avoid- problems with those issues, rather than cancel the idea in its entirety.

Thanks, that was more positive than i expected but I think you've got a bit mixed up. The 7pm meet at Back Alley Brawler is a different thing altogether to the 7pm Thursday IC "Team Up"(Not "Meet up"). There are still places left for Thursday if you're interested.
In a nutshell:
Back street Brawler meet up 7pm, all welcome to meet IC players and possibly form teams.
Thursday 7pm--a group of characters called The Militia to form 2 teams to progress together in regular sessions. Some outside of session play allowed with restrictions.

Hey, I'm not the groutchy old cow some people may think I am. I just try to keep an open mind, and in so doing try to keep other people's mind open. I know it comes across as being the devil's advocate at times, and even trolling on occasion to the really narrowminded, but it generally comes from a good heart. 
It still holds, though, though more so for the every evening meet up than the just Thursday one, what I stated before.
Alas I cannot join on Thursdays, as I am already playing in a virtual tabletop game on those evenings, otherwise I would certainly have given it a go. Thus emphasizing what I said about the daily meets, though. But I've pointed that out enough now.
Thursday night I'll be in Recluse's Victory, if I can log into Test at all. You may not get as great a turnout as you think this week since quite a few people are likely to be taking the opportunity to try out 40th level PvP builds.
If it's a bit slow, try advertising again next week. i.e. Don't give up if this week 'flops'.
(Disclaimer: The author won't be there next week either. He doesn't roleplay in CoH anymore. He got fed up with too many things.)
Disclaimer: The above may be humerous, or at least may be an attempt at humour. Try reading it that way.

Then why proceed, like, pardon the expression, a bull in a chinashop with what -you- want to do, and stop and listen to those around you, including those indirectly involved?
Or do you presume to take control of people, in which case I must point to a very similar discussion had on another thread in this section, the nature of roleplay. Again, this is something that can disrupt character interaction at GG, as this is undoubtedly goingto end up in prolongued sessions, thus creating a rift between two groups, at times in people who belong to both groups. Why would you go through the hassle? If you try and combine the two, it has a much larger chance of succession as then, really, you will be giving people a choice, instead of creating two seperate points, where instead of chosing roleplay, they would have to chose people.
