Cool stuff Plantatia. I'd suggest being careful with the ITF, make sure you have a plan for the final battle because it seems people are having trouble with the 'pull Romulus to the rooftop' technique since I17. Sleeping the nictii or taunting them away from Rommy are both good alternatives.

Don't forget to take a teleporter, to get people out of the crystal!
Well, my first FNV since posting here on the boards went - a little bit differently than planned.
Kudos to the following people that came out and did some early teamwork:
Great Little One
Great Atom Smasher
THEN we got an ITF fired. The following people helped make it possible:
No brain no pain
Arterior
Pure Razor
Hard as ice
Thufir Hawat
Dual Indice
Glasswing
2 trollers, 2 doms, 3 defenders and a brute. Romi didn't stand a chance when the first nictus to disappear was his healer.
Finally, some mishes were run by Crystalline Rose with the help of:
Zombie Bunny Lord
Meat Doctor
The low turnout at the original time was disappointing, so I'm going to change things a bit. Here's the schedule for May 14, 2010.
7-8 3rd treespec run. People have requested one, so I'll run one. I will not run an ITF this week - requested tfs/trials will always take priority. Hosted by Evelyn Gladstone, now level 49! You'll need level 44 or higher toons to play, so keep that in mind. IF we can't get the numbers for that, I will run a lower one to get the numbers we need.
8-11 Lowbies. At this point, most of my other toons are within striking distance of other things. So I'll start running with something lower! I'd like to run with Dark Maple Witch (Demon Summoning/Poison), currently 8 - starting with newspaper mishes for an Atlas Park Run. We'll see how things go from there. Feel free to bring anyone level 5 and up!
The 7 start time (Tokyo, +9 UTC) is to more accurately reflect what is happening, and will allow those who get home later than me to have more time to get things done beforehand. Note that I will still be on earlier than that - just that I will start events as of 7.

Welcome back! You're talking to the plant!
Well, the respec run went very well. I called out that we would be going for maximum carnage - kill all targets, even on the last mission - and we completed it in just over half an hour, complete with a purple drop! Sometimes, speed isn't everything. I'd like to thank the following participants on the treespec:
try hard
TinkerKat
Diana Delight
Kalli
S H O U T
Total-Knockout
Asymptope Man
Afterwards, we ran some lowbie missions, and proceeded to rob Atlas blind! I'd like to thank the following participants for that as well:
Hydrangea Ranger
Noradia
Magenta Black
Mexican Pete
And that brings us to this Friday's schedule:
7 - 8:30 Cap Au Diable SF. This one will be hosted by Mephitsa, a dark/rad corr. Bring your toons and we'll STOMP all over Bat'Zul!
8:30 - 11 mid level. I've recently brought over a TON of toons from other servers, and they will need your help! Bittersweet Symphony, a sonic/sonic corr, will be hosting some Cap mishes. We'll rock this town to the foundations, or hosp trying!
If you have ANY requests, or would like to post some backstory/RP stuff here, feel free! Just remember, it's all in the cause of VILLAINY!!!

Welcome back! You're talking to the plant!
OK, first off, while waiting for enough interest to fire the Cap Au Diable SF, there was some high-level teaming going on, aiding to turn Lord Recluse into our personal plaything! Included with Mephitsa in this wonderful romp were
Arterior (the holder of the mission)
Alyra
Diana Delight
Asymptope Man
Bloke Man
Then, we got the Cap Au Diable SF fired. This was run with 3 corrs and 2 brutes....and was PAINFULLY long. I'd like to thank
Portal Worker TH
Miss Carriage
Frost Nereid
Zekid (please correct me if my spelling is wrong)
for taking the 2 hours it took to beat down Bat'zul in the end...just OUCH.
Finally, there was some assistance for Soul Circuit as well.
For this week:
7-8:30 ITF. Called for by at least 2 people. You want, I deliver! It will be a SLOW ITF, since I want people to get as many purple chances as they can get (I average a purple every 2 ITFs, so...)
8:30-11 Lowbie time! I'm thinking that some of the newer players would like to see some of the stuff in the lower end of things, so this time I'm bringing out Agent C, a level 13 Arachnos Soldier. Bring your teens and we'll rock the town!
As always, you are FREE to use this space to make suggestions, write your backstories, or relay any interesting information. Remember, as long as it's for the cause of villainy, it's fine by me!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Plant for organising these events, as it tekes initative and drive to do it (and a large degree of patience). I'm an interloper on Justice, and Plant still lets me play in the sandbox 
I'll aim to join again this Friday, but later in the night as I team with my gaming buddy til he logs (usually about 9:30). I look forward to teaming with some Justice Villains then
I look forward to having a lowbie (newbie in my case) run with you guys. Been playing heor for a couple of years, but as I have started playing on Justice week nights, I thought I might give Villain a go after all this time, because that seems to be where the action is.
I am sure I will learn lots from you guys and have fun at the same time.
I have a 38 claws/WP brute Killer Bunnygirl that might wish to do the ITF.
I have several lowbies that can join for the later stuff, maybe Grinning Banshee, 12ish sonic/dark corr.
It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba
Welcome back! You're talking to the plant!
OK, first off, a MAJOR apology to all those who were hoping for some lowbie stuff this week. The ITF I ran hit a major snag when I crashed, and Romi ended up spawning at level 52. Needless to say, we had to reset the last mish, and the normally swift ITF took almost 3 hours, plus set-up time. This left no time for lowbies material, which will be remedied next week.
Also, an apology to my ITF team. Next time, I'll ask for a debuffer and a healer out of the 8 of us, instead of, oh, say, none. Boneheaded decisions lead to a less enjoyable experience for all.
As for the ITF, I'd like to thank
Texiera Touch
Alterior
Fivetide
Great Little One
Mis Information
Killer Bunnygirl
Pandaemania
for their participation in the event, and proving once again that the ITF is rich in your daily source of Vitamin Purple Recipe!
For next week:
LOWBIES! Yup, it's been a while since I did a day without a TF. So it's time. And since I did not get time to run it this week with my designated toon - Agent C, my Arachnos Soldier at level 13, I will host with Agent C next week! Show up, do missions, serve Arachnos!!!
VILLAINY!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back! You're talking to the plant!
Well, today was shortened by the entirely unannounced server maintenance at 9 am EST or 10 pm Tokyo time. This is AFTER there was maintenance yesterday - so right now I am eagerly awaiting City's explanation of this recent shutdown.
That being said, this week was rather interesting. First, Dizzy Clown of the Cirque du Sinistre fame aided my in clearing out King's Row of every last important thing that wasn't nailed down or burnable.
Then - since nobody was on (possibly with advanced psychic knowledge of the servers going down), with help managed to fire off a 6-person Cap SF. I'd like to thank
Dizzy Clown
Dante's Enchantress
Sgt. Bismarck
Maxed Out
F7
for their participation in the event, which saw Inferno and Bat'Zul fall like matches in a hurricane to our combined might.
Once again, next week I am going to run a lowbies night - no SFs or TFs. Starting time is 7 Tokyo (+9 UTC), so look for me ot be on, and we shall commence with the villainy!

Welcome back! You're talking to the plant!
This week, we had a huge gang of rolling membership, including an 8-person team to start! We made sure that the heroes had more Outbreak to deal with than they knew what to do, went ghostbusting, and started to give Veluta Lunata some nightmares!
I'd like to thank
Mis Judged
Kurari Huntsman

Next week is close enough to my birthday that I want to try something different - a +4 ITF! Look for that thread elsewhere on this board!

Veluta Lunata? *Twitches at horrible memories of fighting hordes of ghosts*
Hello again! You're talking to the plant!
You can see the results of the ITF attempt on the ITF thread. This week, however, I would like to try and do 2 SFs.
The first is a Silver Mantis SF. It pays the most merits, and has a low entry requirement (level 20, capped at 25, powers to 30).
The second is everybody's favorite game show, the villainous tri-spec. Yes, I am going to run all 3 villain respec trials, starting with the 1st. All 3 can be done within an hour with a fast team, and again, has a low entry at least for the first respec (24). Your host for this week WILL BE the plant herself!
See you there!
My 50's
Plantatia, DyNaMique, Sentai Silhouette, Patchworx, Blaze Usagi, Enjoy the Violence, Miya Li, Faraday's Angel
Yay! My main villain is high enough to join these SFs. Hopefully I will get to join my first Villain SF on Friday night.
Hello! You're talking to the plant!
Alas, this week turnout was very low (perhaps everyone just needed a rest from villainy?), and we only managed to get a Silver Mantis SF completed. I would like to thank
Kurai Huntsman
Chaositect
Portal Worker TH
Calashandra
Asymptope Man
for their participation!
This Friday, I will be running lowbie mishes with Dark Maple Witch (currently level 10) as your host. Bring out your lower toons, and we will run through some of the game's arc together. See you there!

Hello, everyone! You're talking to the plant!
Friday's lowbie team went very well, with a slowly growing populace. I'd like to thank
Feral Tundra
Miss Calculate
Widow Noodle
Uncivil Engineer
Itty Bitty Rage
for their assistance. All of us listened to the radio, and dealt out some amazing tunes on their bones!!
For this Friday, flashback is the name of the game! Harken back to a simpler time, when you were less villainous, and the world needs to re-learn the meaning of fear! I, Plantatia, will be hosting!
VILLAINY!!!!!

Hello, everyone! You're talking to the plant!
Well, this Friday, we tackled one of the harder arcs to open and complete with the help of the flashback system! We headed to Port Oakes, took down many many ghosts, and complete one of Veluta Lunata's story arcs, complete with shiny new Ouroboros badges and all! I'd like to thank
Grinning Banshee

Hello, everybody! You're STILL talking to the plant!
Sorry this post is a bit late, gang - had one fun weekend. See the ITF thread for the results of last Friday.
This Friday, I'm taking it easy. Lowbie time! Bring any toon you want, and let's rock! Host TBA.

Hi, everyone! You're talking to the plant!
This week was a lowbie week, but the turnout was decidedly lower than expected. I'd like to thank
Miss Demeanors
Mexican Pete
Fai
for their participation.
It seems that people are just not interested in my attempts at getting newer players (Fai is brand spanking new - less than 2 weeks on account), so I don't think I will be running lowbie stuff for a while. Instead, I am going to try running a +2 Operative Renault SF (25+) next Friday. Start time may have to be changed, since I will be at a training seminar an hour away. I'll keep you posted if there is a time change.
In keeping with the incredible spirit of Ascendant, here's the first in what I hope will be an ongoing series of PSAs in these messages.
Today's episode of Friday Night Villainy, brought to you by:

Hello, everyone! You're talking to the plant!
This week's Renault SF was a resounding success despite the lack of CC toons other than my level 30 stalker to serve as 'tank'. Think about that for a second...
I'd really like to thank
Rebel without a clue
Miss Cast
Mr. Thistle
for their efforts. Although it was not run at +2 for simplicity, the SF still proved an interesting challenge.
This Friday, I'm going to run something I have not run in a while - a simple pick-up group. That's right, log on, jack in, and let's go! Your host will be the Disco-era villainess herself, Juke Joint Jezebel!

Well, going back to a simple PUG format seems to have worked! I had TONS of people in a rotating 8-being group, and together we went from kissing Captain Mako's feet to kicking his sharky butt!!!
I'd really like to thank

Hello, everyone! You're talking to the plant!
This week's turnout was ... not as impressive as last week's, since we never had more than 5 people on the team at any time (myself included). Still, I'd like to thank
Fai

Cytoplasmette
Grinning Banshee
Psycho-Logical
Alishandra

for your participation. Remember, I run this stuff for you. If there's something you want to do, ask. I'm a fairly democratic plant.
As for ths week - it's been WAY too long since I've ran an ITF. So go read the ITF thread.

Hello, everyone! You're talking to the plant!
OK, so everybody and their grandmother is now doing Going Rogue. Fine, I'll jump on the bandwagon, too!
Please roll up a new Praetorian and get them as high as level 5. You choose what side you're fighting for. We'll meet Friday, and rock the free world!
My 50's
Plantatia, DyNaMique, Sentai Silhouette, Patchworx, Blaze Usagi, Enjoy the Violence, Miya Li, Faraday's Angel
DONE.
Level 5 Defender (FF/Rad).
This is my first Buffer toon as I normally roll Melee or Debuffers.
@Ariellah should be getting GR this week and will look at joining us on Friday
Hello, everybody, this is @Plantatia. Yep, you're talking to the plant.
After originally having had the gauntlet thrown down awhile back that if I wanted to get something done on Fridays, I should do it, I got off my gaming duff and DID something about it. I created the simple concept of Friday Night Villainy.
Let's break that down.
Friday Night - this does not interfere with a lot of events in the Oceanic time zones, and DEFINITELY not with those in North America. Thus, it's easy to remember. Min Min even has this event posted on this forum , so there's no excuse to not know about it if you're already reading it here.
Villainy - Not heroism, not goody-goody two-shoes, not helping old ladies across the street, villainy. So (for now, anyway), that means a villain, on JUSTICE, will be needed.
FNV is about having fun while playing villains of different levels. You can roll new toons, shake the dust off of old ones, or just use your favorite in a different situation. I'm not particular - play what you want. Good background stories and role-playing are most definitely appreciated - I've been role-playing since before Reagan was president.
So, what events are held during FNV?
1) Newbies run. Roll a new toon, then come and play! Usually I aim for 3-4 hours and hopefully finish all of Mercy Island in one go, possibly including the Atlas mayhem. This is quite doable, and I'll try and announce these days well in advance so you can prepare.
2) Mid-level (10-34) mish runs. Plenty more options here, get the dust off your 'in hiatus' toons and let's rock the isles!
3) Strike Force runs (below level 35): In the less than 6 months of FNV, I've ran 2 Cap SFs, 4 Silver Mantis SFs and 1 or 2 Sharkhead SFs. If you're looking to do these challenges, or need merits, these are the way to go. I've even ran a 1st villainous respec trial (aka 'treespec').
4) Imperious TF: My goal is to run one of these a week if possible. Why?
a) Speed. Speed ITFs can be done in under 40 minutes (although it is rather lethal to squishies), and this makes the ITF rather time-efficient for the merits.
b) Variety. Hey, I'm not gonna be picky when it comes to ITF - if you have a hero that can do the job better than a villain, so be it! (Just be warned that I may RP being not happy about it!)
c) Chances for purple recipies. Again, this is the fastest to get shots at purples. Other TFs tend to take longer, so this one does not tie you up for the night doing one event.
So, with that in mind, here's the sched for May 7, 2010. All times are TOKYO times, since that's where I'm living.
6-7:30 ITF. Those that are on, you're welcome to join. Bring whomever you like. I will be running with Evelyn Gladstone (46 dom), so 1 lvl 50 toon WOULD be appreciated for those who want shots at purple recipies.
7:30-10:00 Lowbies. Hosted by Crystalline Rose (32 dom), she'll be running stuff in St. Martial. Again, bring whomever you like.
That's all for now. I will update this page next week with the names of EVERY participant, and the plans for May 14. Until then...
VILLAINY!!
