At the moment I'm having a little problem with the internet because the plug to my router got broken, so I'm using internet directly from the modem atm, but unfortunately the demand for internet from the single modem is large.I've already ordered a new plug directly from the router manafacturer (after two others I bought from electronics stores refused to work). Latest I expect it to come is Saturday (I hope). Until then I can't expect to be able to come to any meeting for any good length of time.
However, if and when I do get the router up again, any time past 16:00 BST should be good for me, excluding 21:00-22 BST on Thursdays, 22:00-23 BST on Tuesdays and from 14:00 onwards on Sundays.

lulz, this always happens with these BIG villain alliances. Characters decide they don't like each other and explode all over the place.
In my opinion you need to avoid 2 things if you want to succeed with this.
1. Avoid Arrogant Villains being overly bitchy and dominating and megalomaniacle about the actual alliance. A power-struggle (even in character) is more likely to tear a group apart when it involves good RPers, because one side will win, and the other side will get owned. So, be nice to each other. You may be villains, but you've still got a common goal that's more important than petty squabbles.
2. Don't RP too hardcore. The reason the Secret Society of Super-Villains from Justice League Unlimited worked so well is because the WRITERS wanted it to. Even when someone tried to oppose the groups leadership, taking a pot-shot at Lex Luthor, life went on as it did before after this oh so dramatic event. IRL or in an MMO, those Villains would've torn each other a new bung-hole and thrown in the towel when they realised they didn't share the same plan, ideology or style (eg. to kill or not to kill).
Have fun. And Pious try not to bail on the group you form, in the first month, like you did with the LoRDs. <3
It takes Chaos to move the world to Action.
It is sounding like Tuesday night is preferable.
Tuesday will probably be ok, what time are we looking at?

Hmmm in answer to 1) The group wouldn't be a traditional group in the same sense as LoRDs was, there wouldn't be a power struggle because it's just a collection of like minds wanting to spread chaos and anarchy, probably swap some tech specs, make sure the dates don't clash...that sort of thing. Every villain involved is free to do as they please while the organisation provides backup for any plans. Like when Ed hired Soren and Wild Red to bust him out of jail, it was a paid job and they did it.
Rather than the LoRDs style shadow games and taking over islands, this organisation would be very loose, everyone has their own agenda, it just helps when there's other villains to turn to, nobody is really 'in charge' (yeesh Mechano can barely organise his own sock draw, let alone get other villains to listen to him).
I picture it more as the villains sitting down, Edward with his glasses on going, "right, we've just had the minutes from last meeting, now if you have a plan you'd like to set in motion, please mention it now, I'm sure other members might be interested in paid work or provide any technology for a sum of cash...including myself," sort of thing.

The rest of it sounded like a good idea, this bit, is where I question the integrity of this plan :P Not every villain is an anarchic chaos-worshiper. My villain for example absolutely detests chaos, and pretty much worships order, because he has a fragile mind and chaos causes him to lose control of this fragile mind. Which is why one of his main objectives - other than kill the Lost and other psychics - is to seal all of this universe from all other dimensions which currently causes such a large amount of chaos that Beyond Reach simply can't stand it.

Then he wouldn't fit in with those guys, maybe even work against them.

Well Beyond Reach is probably going to be at odds with Edward and Spruk atleast if not a few more members, Edward believes humanity can only be strengthed through chaotic moments that break them from the norm of their rat race lives and Spruk is just a plain anarchistic loving villain, I can't speak for any of the others myself.
He can make plans of his own just don't expect Edward or Spruk to be particularly happy if he objects to their plans on the grounds that 'chaos isn't to my personal tastes' since they probably won't voice any objections to his more orderly plans, especially since they would throw the heroes off guard if something is detailed and organised compared to the more chaotic rampaging villains "I thought of it a couple of days ago, time to get it into action" sort of plans.
There are more order based organisations available, namely the Corporation, since they're mercenaries with a very clear command structure not unlike a small private army. There's also the Court of the Blood Countess who prefer to keep things in the dark, play shadow games and otherwise keep things orderly.
The Corporation doesn't have any problems with Ed but his way of doing things is completely opposite to their way of doing things, they're villains for hire, any job at a price.

I would not worry too much Beyond Reach ..villains chaos is very chaos lite ..after all it is so much better to prey upon a well ordered city , you know where all the good stuff will be kept .The chaos carried out is more a matter of the style of the thing .

Haha. Not funny. I already explained what happened here. I won't bother repeating myself.
I would like to add that Walter would more than likely work against them. Order is an excellent source to be used, if used properly (as he has shown with his working with Arachnos and the Dusk Spiders). Tearing that down would make life difficult unless you're on the top. And for there to be a top, there needs to be a bottom, which in itself is order. Thus, he'll be out to stop this stupid display of attention seeking, as it really will be annoying if they succeed.
Edit: Hmm, if possible, I may even make his opposition known during the meeting. Though naturally, he can't be there himself as they'd just kill him.
do we have an agreed time and place yet ?? if so where when and any meeting rules ?
It should hopefully be Tuesday but I have yet to get my work rota for this week, will find out today hopefully.
If it is Tuesday I will probably say about 8pm, as for where, I'm not sure yet, perhaps someone has a base we can use?

I wont be able to make the first meeting, as am busy all this week. Still need to evaluate how my character would come about this meeting.
my villain base ia a bit small and basic ..but i can set up a room for a meeting ..any idea of numbers ?
I'm in an SG with a couple of guys from RL who are light RPers (don't think they'll want to join in though), I'll probably have no issue setting up a room for a meeting if necessary. Though if someone else wants to do it I'm cool, as I'm not a big fan of the architecture in our base :P I don't think it's very villainous.
