Apologies that this post is on a public forum, but if you are interested in joining us let me know. Ramon Daark (@Evangel) has kindly offered to set up a dedicated SG forum forum which we will start to use as soon as this is complete. Pat on the back for Mr TPF for providing me with a transcript of what was discussed last night while I intermittently DC'd

Thanks to all of you who turned up for the meeting in Pocket D last night or have let me know that you want to participate in this 'project'. To summarise what was discussed the original idea was to create a themed team/SG with people who I either regularly team with or have enjoyed teaming with in the past. It was agreed we will create a 'demonic' themed SG, Muhahahaha. The background to this is that all the toons have been summoned from the netherworld to Paragon City by Infernal (the guy who lazes around in Founders Falls) to act as his minions and do his bidding. Hey we're evil baby, but we're doing good! The original idea was to restrict it to fire, dark and ice powersets and the associated powers of thermal radiation and storm. The discussion last night broadened this to include shields and choppy/bashy weapons and kinetics. It was agreed that all toons should be created with the following powersets:

* Tankers must have a primary powerset of either Fiery Aura, Dark Armour, Ice Armour or Shield Defence and a secondary powerset of Fiery Melee, Dark Melee, Ice Melee, Battle Axe, War Mace or Dual Blades.

* Scrappers must have a primary powerset of either Fiery Melee, Dark Melee, Broad Sword or Dual Blades and a secondary powerset of Fiery Aura, Dark Armour or Shield Defence.

Note: If shields or weapon powersets are chosen the item must look appropriate to the theme i.e. fire, ice, dark or medieval appearance shield. Technological, modern looking riot shields etc. should be used.

* Controllers must have a primary powerset of either Fire Control or Ice Control and a secondary powerset of Thermal Radiation, Storm Summoning or Kinetics. Kinetic was added since the activation, appearance and affect of these powers are justifiably magical in nature.

* Blasters must have a primary powerset of either Fire Blast, Ice Blast and a secondary powerset of Fire Manipulation or Ice Manipulation.

* Defenders must have a primary powerset of either Dark Miasma, Cold Domination, Storm Summoning or Kinetics and a secondary powerset of Dark Blast, or Ice Blast.

After the meeting completed I had some further thoughts on the above and would also like to propose the following additional powersets for consideration in the theme. I appreciate this will broaden things further, but I would like to think that the core/common powers selected will be fire, dark, ice and weapon/shield based powersets:

* Tankers and Scrappers could also have the option to select Invulnerability as a primary powerset since the CoT Behemoth have this as defence. Tanks could also have access to Super Strength if desired since demons can be strong powerful beings - Raaar, bash!!!

* Controllers should have the option to select Mind Control as a primary powerset since the terrify, domination and confuse powers etc. fit a demonic theme nicely and are used by CoT Succubus. Plant control is a possibility since this was ported from villains and has a definite evil look to it, but I'm happy for this to be dropped from the 'approved' powersets.

* Blasters could have the option to select the Mental Manipulation powerset. Again this could be justifiable since demons can be manipulative beings who like to mess with ya mind! Since scrapper and tanks are getting access to weapons, Archery as primary powerset could be justified provided the bow looks arcane i.e. not a compound tech bow with laser sights etc. I don't however support the idea of allowing Trick Archery since this has too many tech like powers.

* Defenders could also have access to Archery as secondary powerset as noted above for blasters.

Let me know your thoughts on these additional powerset suggestions.

All toons MUST be of a magic origin and will belong to the Infernal Justice SG. It would be appreciated if toons are played in SG mode at least until level 35 so we can amass as much prestige as possible for the base. Although not discussed last night IMHO the base should be built using the arcane tile sets. All toons should be demonic in appearance with red, black, green etc coloured skin, and may have bestial heads, horns, wings, cloven feet, bone armour, chains, spiky bits etc. all the usual clichés. When we get a second costume slot at level 20 we will adopt an SG uniform which can be selected while teaming together. This does not have to be too restrictive since it shouldn't cover the head and there can be sleeveless, trouser less options for those who may want to have monstrous legs or wear fishnet stockings etc. I'll post some screenshots as possible ideas over the coming week. If anyone else has proposed SG uniform ideas post them on this thread and we'll put them to the vote to see which one we want to adopt.

The plan is for the theme teams to meet every Tuesday evening around 8:00pm - 8:30pm UK time. The toons will team together weekly and the goal is to have fun. It would be good if we can try and keep the toons in the same approximate level range so they can do TFs and stuff together as we progress up towards 50. Each Tuesday we'll play as long as people want to so if players drop out during the night we can merge the teams together. If someone missed a team night or falls a few levels behind they can play their toon outside of the theme team so as to earn some XP to enable them to catch up with the main group. One of the things which got support was that we could plan for the teams to run the same story arcs and TFs so we can have races and have a bit of banter between ourselves and do GM hunts and saucer raids etc. As mentioned last night I organised a few TF races last year which many of you took part in which turned out to be a lot of fun.

I've listed below those who have stated interest in joining the theme team/SG along with possible archetypes/powersets you may want to play:

@Sargatanas probably playing a fire/fire or dark/fire tank
@Gully RX probably playing a tank
@Xtream
@Demonic Judgement probably playing a fire/fire blaster
@Chick Chilli
@Mr TPF
@Evangel
@Dr.Arcanum
@Defcon Kid
@Protector X possibly an ice/kin controller
@Cunundrum
@Juniper
@Craguelque probably playing a fire/fire blaster
@Fulgor playing a dark/dark defender
@Greylight
@Sombra
@Treagy
@Boy Wonder
@Aveli
@One from the North
@Captain Solaris

Apologies to those of you I may have missed off the above list. Please post up what you're proposing to play so we can get a view of what archetype mix we're going to have. By next Tuesday I'm hopeful that we should have enough players to make 3 full teams maybe more. Next Tuesday we'll all meet in Atlas Park by Ms. Liberty so we can intimidate the locals. The three or more team leaders will then take it in turns on picking team mates so as to ensure we have balanced teams. Teams do not have to remain the same each week so you will get the opportunity to play with other members of the SG. Once the teams are formed I suggest we head off to the sewers and destroy everything in our path, Muhahahaha. Once we get to level 5 we can then do some radio missions in King Row and progress onto the Hollows story arc. This is likely to take a couple of weeks of team sessions. We could then split into lots of small teams of 3 or 4 and have a Positron TF race if everyone's up for it, although this is likely to be a late night session since this can be a long (and painful) experience

Anyway once again thanks for your involvement in this.

All the best

Sarg

I'd really like to give a scrapper a proper run (I've always played blaster).

so Sword/shield scrapper - supposed to be afire shield but once i logge din it turned to a round bit of wood must see abotu fixing that (anyone got lighter fluid and a match?).

I'll also draw up defender and controller alts to make up any shortfall we have in ATs.


 

Posted

That sounds like a great idea

If you are recruiting I might well ask to join. Just have to figure out how much spare time I have. Funny for a "dead server" I've never been busier

Tuesday might be Ok would have to log out at 10pm British time as I have to get up at 4:45am

If so it would be with either a Dark/Dark defender or a Fire/Ice Blaster


Happy to be on Defiant.

forum:

basic forum is up at

http://infernal.faelkeep.com/phpBB2/index.php

registration requires an email address (admin approval for activation of accounts), which will not be used for anythign other than forum communication and will not be stored anywhere except in the forum DB itself (you can choose to have the email viewable or not to other posters)

anyone not want to use a personal email, PM me here with your SG character name and I'll set you up a mailbox @infernal.faelkeep.com , this can be forwarded to any otehr mail accoutn you want or it can be stored on the server (but if its on the server, its subject to mailbox size limits and general administration).

Once registered, you can check out the different forum styles by changing it in your profile. Once we have a concensus on what style we want, I'll get to work on customisation.

Right now, I'm working on the basics for a front page for http://infernal.faelkeep.com . red and black and flames are the theme I'm working with until we get something settled on.(faelkeep is an old domain I had so I set up infernal as a sub-domain. Fael is an old Irish word for wolf in case you lose sleep over it and the site was originally going to be a repository for my ideas for PnP games but laziness o'erwhelmed me). For those who really arent trusting of posting onto a strangers website, a whois of the domain name will turn up more than enough information about me to be able to contact or report me easily

anyway, enough rambling, suggestions welcome either here, or by PM on this board or by Pm on the SG forum (username LoLth) or at the admin address infernal@faelkeep.com. feel free to suggest category order, forum requests or deletions etc. any help on code of conduct /rules would be gratefully accepted and of course a list of useful links for a links section would be muchly appreciated.

Could I play with a dark melee / Super reflexes scrapper. Its not on the list but i think it should not be any trouble...im still thinking what to play and this one is one of the options...

@Protector X

Hi Mereman,

I'm not sure if we've teamed in the past, but you are more than welcome to join us.

In addition to yourself we also have two other recruits @Whitely & @ Icenii who will be joining us next Tuesday.

Hi Grey Light. Super Reflexes wasn't a defence set we discussed, but I don't have any objection to you using it since Demons could be agile. Go for it unless someone else pipes up with an objection.


 

Posted

Hi Crag, good to see you on the forums at last. Fire mental sounds like a good combination. It wasn't a powerset approved at the meet up last night, since it was only proposed today, but unless anyone objects I'd go for it.


 

Posted

Thanks Sarg, i didnt think of it during the reunion, but later, trying to find what exactly to play i found it interesting... Ill bring this one and probably make a troller ice / something just in case there are too many scrappers and we lack some control/debuff...
Perhaps I will try to lvl up both... I´m an altholic .
I will try playing with the sg as much as posible with one and trying to keep up with the other...


 

Posted

Yeah, no problem if you want to play two (or more) toons in the SG since it keeps options open for team nights if we are lacking controllers, defenders etc. I think I may create a dark/dark defender as a secondary toon myself.

Hi All

Thanks for the updates on what toons you are planning to play which is summarised below:

@Sargatanas probably playing a fire/fire or dark/fire tank
@Gully RX probably playing a tank
@Xtream a cold demon of some kind!
@Demonic Judgement probably playing a fire/fire blaster
@Chick Chilli
@Mr TPF
@Evangel playing a broad sword/shield scrapper
@Dr.Arcanum
@Defcon Kid
@Protector X playing dual blades/fire scrapper or ice/kin controller if required
@Cunundrum
@Juniper
@Craguelque probably playing a fire/mental blaster
@Fulgor playing a dark/dark defender
@Greylight probably playing a dark/SR scrapper or ice/? controller if required
@Sombra
@Treagy playing an ice/dark tank
@Boy Wonder playing a dark/ice defender
@Aveli
@One from the North
@Captain Solaris
@mereman playing either a dark/dark defender or a fire/ice blaster
@Icenii
@Whitely

So far it looks like we have 3 tanks, 3 scrappers, 2 blasters and 3 defenders, although some of you have kindly offered to play controllers or a blaster if required for team balancing.

Please provide feedback to Ramon Daark on the SG forum setup so we can get that finalised and operational.

\o/ got the shield fixed by running to the tailor in steel canyon

four deaths and zero experience earned later and my shield is now a flaming shieldy shaped slab of hotness.

why cant we have a tailor in atlas park ?


 

Posted

lol, what dedication to the cause!

Might it have been easier to delete and recreate the toon

My only other thoughts are concerning the SG – Which needs to be ready to accept members on Tuesday. There should be one leader of the group, a non function/playing member known as the Envy of Infernal or the Mouth Piece, or some other such name. He stays at lvl 10 and is the only member with full access to adjust the base etc.
We, the players are lieutenants and are known as the Founding Members and potentially have the power invite new members and so on. Any way these are my thoughts – see what you think


@Boy Wonder

Quantum Flash - Ill/Kin Controller
Leader of the Legion of Heroes

hmmm, need to work on that. I think the admin email address could be causing problems with spam filters.

anyway, all of the above should be able to log in with the username and password you requested.

I posted up a few polls and suggestion threads please feel free to psot feedback and put forward your own ideas.

This sounds like it would be fun.
Would it be ok for me to join in with a Ice/storm controller as you are a bit short of them?

I not certain if we have teamed but it's hard to believe that we haven't

Thanks for letting me in. I will start the Dark/Dark defender tonight and I hope the blaster, ready for Tuesday. I'll play which ever is needed.

Ty Sarg, good to be here finally

It's better for the sg to be ready when we start to pummel our way through the sewers. Sg will start earning immediately. So we can start gathering at base on next tuesday

I took an head start with my cute demon Mindburn the Cremato, last letter missing due to limitation for characters on names LOL

I put my demon on no xp mode and explored for badges in atlas, galaxy and kings. 23 up and ive killed a few purples who got in the way. I earned a few inf as a side product so i could sell those large insp's from breakout.

Ill see how fat i can go gathering those badges. No debt This feels like ADOM with the challenges

God damn that was a good game, never finished it tho
