Either server would do me and either day should be okay for me aswell.
Looking forward to it 
Great stuff.

I just nipped on to Defiant to see if my chosen toon name was already taken there. Thankfully not! So now I have the name "Mea Culpa" reserved on both servers, hehe 
I've already rolled mine on union, but am okay with either.

Same 
i up for this , i got a lvl50 ninja/traps/soul on Union

You're welcome to join us. Unless you want to be malefactored for the whole time I'd recommend rolling up another toon though
Hello Folks,
I'm currently playing Bots/Traps on Union (Anna Matronic) currently at lvl 19. I don't think I'd be able to commit to a regular time / night, and I don't tend to start playing til about 9pm anyway.
However I'd love to know how this works out, and I'd like to see it in action too. Especially in a mayhem mission, so if you need a stand in, give me a shout.
Couple of questions though. Is poison trap really available at 20? for some reason I thought it was 24.
Do you expect many problems in the long run? I mean most likely 6 MM with pets and FFGs and all, potentially lots of lag there.
Anyway good luck with it all and keep us posted on the successes / problems you get.
Cheers,
Mike.
Thanks for the offer of help. If we meet you in level you're very welcome to lend a hend.
In answer to your first question, here's the listing for Traps powers:

2: Caltrops

10: Acid Mortar
16: Force Field Generator
20: Poison Trap
28: Seeker Drones
35: Trip Mine
38: Time Bomb or Detonate

In answer to your second question, yeah I am a little worried about the lag too! Personally I was hoping for an even split of Corrs/MMs, four of each. Depending on what UnkownWarrior and Kryten bring to the table, that's still entirely possible. (Personally I'm Corruptor mad so I was a little surprised at the MM-heavy resposne I got )
At the end of the day though I'm not going to ask people to give up their MMs if that's what interests them and what they want to use. It's not exactly fair and difficult to be so arbitrary with folks who've already offered their support to the team. 
That said, I suppose I could just say that people who wish to sign up from now on will be given preference over others if they want to use a Corruptor? Does that sound fair?
I'm also a little concerned about a prevailance of Smashing and Lethal damage in the team, though hopefully that will even out later, and the -res debuffs will more than compensate.
Thanks Mike, hopefully we'll see you around. (Nice toon name, by the way!)
I'll probably roll a Corr to balance out the setup 
.
Lag can be bad,but even on "Gang"-SG-SFs with 8 Thug-MMs it was manageable - at least until more than half popped Gang War 
.
Ill roll a corruptor aswell. Cant have too many MM's slowing us down. Cant decide on the classic AR/Traps or Sonic/Traps though 
There is a certain appeal of unleashing an inferno of Ignite patches...
Sonic is an excellent set as well. Great debuffs, great damage and great control.
I would certainly be interested. I would like to recreate my hero ar/dev as a villain. Are we looking at Union or Defiant?
@Moondog
Union:
CoH: Moondog (WS); V-Rock (Tnk, semi-retired); Pole-Star (Bla); Demon Dog (Scr).
CoV: Midnight Gunner (Corr); Operative John Doe (Ban); Day-Star (Dom); Commissar Jaeger (MM).
Welcome!
I think it's looking like we'll be teaming on Union at this point.
My preference is more towards Defiant (I have a lot of disposable toons there) but if Union is the preferred option overall I can do that also.
@Moondog
Union:
CoH: Moondog (WS); V-Rock (Tnk, semi-retired); Pole-Star (Bla); Demon Dog (Scr).
CoV: Midnight Gunner (Corr); Operative John Doe (Ban); Day-Star (Dom); Commissar Jaeger (MM).
Thanks Moondog. It was half and half, but as people have already rolled up toons on Union I guess we'll go with that. Not that I'm not baised too
But look on the bright side! Any important Invention salavge you pick up on Union you can always sell to your toons on Defiant with the Black Market

Also we have a couple of reserves for the later game in 1damz (lvl 19 Ice/Traps) and BigMike (lvl 19 Bots/Traps) on Union.
We've definitely got enough to start for now. If more folks are interested in joining, speak up and we'll try and split teams to accomodate you if necessary.
It's looking like we'll be teaming from 7pm on Mondays. For the folks who've already signed up, could you do a couple of things for me:
1. If you really can't make it on Mondays, but can do Fridays, speak up because we can still sort it.
2. Are you cool with starting as soon as next week?
3. Give the name of your new toon, if you know what it is yet. Also tell us a little about them, if you want to
Looks like fun
Are we going to form a VG?. I only ask because it can help keep track of levels and therefore ensure not too much spread.
Good question.
Personally I'd rather not, for a number of reasons. First, it might discourage new members from joining the team. Second, the SG would not likely gain Prestige at a good rate so we're not likely to be able to afford a useful base at the end of the day. Plus I'm sure most of us each have another larger SG in which our new alts' contributions would mean a little more. Our team would also have access to and be able to make use of said larger bases if necessary...
Level tracking won't be too difficult. Since we'll all be playing together at the same time, we should all be of similar level. If someone misses a few sessions then they only need ask in this thread to find out how much xp they need to catch up.
This Monday sounds good to me. I decided to go for Sonic/Trap Corr so that we would have something a bit different on the team, her name is Sanus Undo (its Latin ) Shes sitting waiting in Mercy, See you all on Monday.
Hi, yeah just hit 20 and now I have little green balls of fun to play with. Is it wrong to chuckle at the sound of vomiting? .

A corruptor can shoot or set a trap, a MM can shoot and set a trap at the same time. A corruptor gets shot at, and finds it hard to heal, a MM gets the minions shot at and replaces them if they die. If for some reason a MM does gets shot at, then the 'bodyguards' will take a lot of the sting off it.
I've had a dark/dark corruptor up to 30 and feel so much safer and capable as my MM.
The thing I'd like to know is with the mutliple hit checks on a trip mine, does it scourge or not? 'Cause if it does, that could be one really big bang!

Sure, just shout (and post an update here of how you get on).
Cheers,

Mine too! Kinda
Hmm...
*wracks brain*
*gives up, browses Latin websites*
...Sane Wave? Or you might be doing a kind of pun on the english meaning of "undo", so... Insane/Insanity? That's cool.
Anyway, see ya on Monday hopefully!

1. I'm fine with either.
2. Sure, that's what I was thinking
3. Ms Taken, lvl 2 thugs/traps, no story yet.
Major Misery (Level 2 AR/Traps) ready for Monday Mayhem!

Alas nothing that clever, it translates to Sound Wave.
Hmm... Not wanting to show you up Kryten, but doesn't Sanus mean "sound" as in "free of damage/in good condition"?
Of course I'm just going on internet skills, I certainly won't contest you if you know your Latin well. And you probably do know it better than I do. And if there is a different word for the sonic meaning of sound, I haven't found it. I'm just concerned for you is all.
After all, it's best to make sure these things are right before the toon earns a lot of experience. There's nothing like a lvl 50 with a typo!
There's definitely still room for more!
You're welcome to use a MM or a Corruptor, whichever you wish. Do you have a preferred server, and are you available Monday or Friday evenings?
