A hero's question

Hey everyone! A hero just asked me, "Do you know of any non-farming mostly task force/non-AE oriented active supergroups on Infinity?" I'm not sure, but I thought maybe someone here could help him. Any ideas that I can pass along to him?


Yay, Infinity Taxis!!!

Sorry, don't know any sgs on heroside, but as a stop-gap measure he can join AE Anonymous for non-AE teaming.

Oooh ooooooh!

I don't know of any SG's in particular, but there's always AE Anon! =)

Hey im not to active heroside, mainly a villain myself but i know that there is a cross-sides chat channel about forming teams and what not, pretty popular. You can learn more about it here The AE Anon Thread, if you have any question shout them out in there or ask on here =)

Damnnation, I knew we forgot something. Thank you, mac!

And we're called AE "Annonymous" why? Feels like a self-help group in RL >_>

Now, now, we all need to come to our own realization that we have a problem. The problem is we enjoy the actual game. Now please, tell us your name and how you found us...

Channels seem to be > SGs. Heck I mostly team with dUmbies, but couldn't tell you what SGs many are in now (quite a few have private SGs) so IMHO a good channel would help more than an SG. If only Gabz would create one...


Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit

Uh well gee, I think I know of a few and I'm surprised that er, someone who posted on here didn't say something. But then again, perhaps that someone is rather modest? Hmm?

All but three of my alts (2 Taxi's and 1 Villy) are in these SG's, which are all run by one fantabulous hero!

Say the word, and I'll say the word...

I still quite enjoy the game's original content. Strike Forces, Story Arcs, Ouroboros, and badge hunting. I still dislike the AE because of the lack of total customization.

You know, channel names do actually need to be typed correctly to join the channel.

I gather you're referring to me.

While we do fit the description from the OP ("non-farming mostly task force/non-AE oriented active supergroups on Infinity"), the situation ("A hero asked me...") is awfully close to the the random person in Atlas Park broadcasting "Looking for SG". As our policy states, we don't broadcast or post here for members, nor are we interested in someone when the only thing we know about them is that they're looking for an SG. We're only interested once an SG member has teamed and/or chatted with someone and gotten to know them a bit.

While this does mean that new members are relatively infrequent, it also means that our turnover is ridiculously low and this has resulted in our steady movement up the SG listing. And, while the SG listing isn't necessarily a good indicator, for an SG that did not exploit and has never farmed for prestige it does actually tell you something. Last time I checked, the main SG was #44 and we got there mainly by doing TF's, arcs and trials as a group.

But, like I said, we're not interested in strangers. Which is why I didn't mention the names of any of our SG's.


hmm... that last part sounds rather standoffish. The fact is, we do actively look for new members - just not random heroes 'off the street'. Personally, I have a character I use specifically for meeting new players. I delete and re-roll when he gets to around level 15 or so. I think he's in his 7th life currently. Also there have been numerous occasions where I've met someone through the forums, met up with them in-game, and eventually ended up with them joining the SG. By that point, they were no longer a stranger.

Of course, I'm sure no one cares. I just like hearing myself talk... um, type. My next post will extol my humility and modesty.

Ironblade, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but that is the closest thing I've seen you post that resembles empathy to your fellow players, instead of the matter-of-fact, ruthlessly honest, This-Is-The-Way-It-Is, Call-You-Out-On-Sh%& way you normally have. It's nice to see!

oh and

*runs off to check which sg is #44*

*dodges anything Ironblade may be throwing her way*

You know,....I heard this rumor, going around...that someone on infinity started a new channel....A channel that's geared toward teams....teams that try to avoid AE....kinda like how alcoholics try to avoid alcohol...but i just CAN'T remember the name of the channel. Sorry i couldn't be much help.

Damnit Joe, I think you're thinking of a channel that starts with an E...or was it an A? It's on the tip of my brain...
