Considering a Praetorean RP (Staying in Praetorea) Group

I'm dead tired so won't play today but made a new toon named Ron Bolton. He's going Loyalist Responsibility.

Changed my Global it's now @Rotten Luck.

I meant to come back earlier and post some thoughts to move us ahead... things have been a bit hectic! No worries though!
I'm quite tired at the moment and am going to be short and quick in this post (short and quick compared to how I usually am, at least).

I'm thinking that what we need to do is gather ourselves together as a large (Or however large/small it may be) community of characters that we intend to base within Praetorea for role-playing purposes.
Let's not worry about SGs or anything else (Since we both have to deal with the current limitations and we have to see who shows up, who's into what and how it all shapes up).
I figure that some of us will click better with others and who knows how it'll work out. The biggest thing about hooking up with other players is always whether or not their playtimes, playstyles, likes and dislikes sync up. So, let's not try and force anything more than... We're all going to be Praetoreans and in this gloabal channel and we'll all try and interact... and we'll see from there! (And really... what else do we need? It should be great!)
These are just the thoughts I've come to about it. I'm just another player trying to do this though, so feel free to disagree with me.
I'm really psyched about this. I got to roam around in Praetorea a bit more than I had beforehand and it's beautifully done.
I'm pretty sure I have my Loyalist worked out (Still a few tweaks... trying to decide on my secondary... not positive about Will Power... Considering switching from Scrapper to Brute and taking Energy Aura... Not positive. And I might change his last name... But his looks and personality are figured out).

So, I am not in a rush about this, but I figure that some people may not be as willing to wait it out, so I didn't want to give the impression that this isn't happening or anything (I'm just still trying to get my bearings in Praetorea before I am fully ready).

So... And thanks to Silver Tooth for contacting me, my head was elsewhere, looking at all the shiny stuff ...We should make a global channel and use it to get ourselves together.
I was tossing names around some names for the channel...

Praetorean Universe
Praetorean Virtue
Praetorean RP United
Praetorean RP
Praetorean United
Praetorean Pride

<.<

And then the question is... Should we make it private and require an invite? (Might be counter productive for getting people started and involved)

Should it be a purely OOC channel for hooking up and working things out?

Should it be an IC channel, somewhat like a SG channel (But then we might need two different ones for Loyalty and Resistance).

And that's the other thing... I think we should be all inclusive as we form, both sides, and then let those in each side gravitate towards each other.

One last thing... I'd like to stay public and use local and global channels for lots of role-playing to encourage more role-play and to be a greater part of the Praetorean zones.
As great as the zones are, seeing characters acting out and speaking in-character makes things even greater (Not just for us, but for others too) and inspires others to do the same.
I know it's a zoo right now (And I'm not foolish enough to think that all the non-role-players are going to go along with us)... But I'd love to see Virtue's Praetorea have some solid IC player characters representing!

I made Praetorea United, but I made it private just in case. I figure we can decide on the name and then I'll open it up and we'll see the fun begin to happen eventually.

We'll collect all the names here and talk more about everything... But for now... I say we just start showing up and we'll get things cooking over time.
I'm a rather patient individual, so, less patient people shouldn't see it as lack of caring or interest!

Blah blah blah... need sleep!!

Oh!!
PureAmerican, I am only speaking for myself... I appreciate the offer/suggestions, but I am really in this for the role-playing, period.
I really enjoy hopping on and working, fighting, teaming, talking, being-fully-immersed with other players that are all in-character and role-playing.

It's not that I really look for great in-depth plots, stories and that sort of stuff from my play sessions (I like them, but I prefer just simple we're all looking through the eyes of our characters and just going through whatever comes our way and such)... So, all I am saying is that I'm not looking to merge up with people that tolerate role-play, but don't themselves.

However, make no mistake... If you don't interfere in any of that, I'd love to team up some time and have some fun!

I just enjoy being a fully in-character team at the core and as its focus... as opposed to it being secondary or agreeable.

The "RP" part of the thread title and this idea is really paramount... for me.

Like I said though, any night that is agreeable with you and we've got some stuff to fight together, I am certainly not opposed.
Also, I totally understand you wanting to contribute and have an ongoing community within Praetorea for your brand of enjoyment... and I'm sure there's some overlap.

Hope that made sense.
And again... that's just my angle and thoughts on things.

Thanks again, everyone!

I like Praetorean United or the Praetorean RP United.

Think it should be OOC and we just use it to get together. Main reason is that wouldn't restrict the Resistance from being part of it.

That way we do the majority of IC in local.

I'm in favor of using as few global channels as possible, myself... unless the devs remove the 5 channel limit. Make the channel "OOC or leaked information" - that is, if someone from one side wants to put out an RP hook of something the other side hears on a stolen radio or bugged room or something, that would also go in the channel.

Okay so the next Question is Should it be OPEN or Invite only.

I say Open.

I created A Praetorian villain version of The Plain Walker. He works for Neuron Technologies Unlimited, so it would be kinda hard to work there if I leave Praetoria.

I'm still interested, so I'll just wait and see for the big guys (you guys) to get it started.

So... my main character is a remake of Void Maiden. Shes a genetically altered human. Adbucted by a mad scientist and given super powers for... mad reasons, and then let loose.

It's Made!

The Praetoria United Global channel is now Open for business. Join now!

Mainly because I got tired of people talking about it and not doing it. I wanna RP!

Next time I log in I'll join it.

Umm....

Changing the name!

Okay made it Praetoria United

I like that more it's highlights the idea we be in Praetoria.

Okay need suckers... I mean Willing people to be MODS!

I have enough characters in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles, so I'm keeping my guys in Praetoria. The 2 characters I've made are alternate dimension versions of my main hero and villain characters. Diamondhide is part of the Resistance, who is the version of my hero Diamondskin. Isotopic Virtue is the Loyalist version of my villain Radium Blight.

Give me a buzz and I'll see ya'll Yellow side.

And... wow... I've been misspelling Praetorian all this time...

Yup the first name was just a cut and past from your post.

But I like the Praetoria United name highlights that we be staying in Praetoria

Of course you be a mod! It's your idea!

I was just thinking to myself earlier how I didn't want to leave Praetoria, good thing I checked out the forums and found that there are others like me! The channel is open right, and not private? If so, you'll be seeing me around there real soon.

Yes the channel is open.

Main reason right now only two Operators. Three when one catches Electric-Knight Logged in!

I'd like to keep my Dom there, who is a Seer (in the Power Division by decree of Mother Mayhem) but I really need a second costume slot for her Domination mode costume. It saddens me that we can't get one in Praetoria!

Her name is Viewer and I rather like her look - I just don't know if I'll keep her in Praetoria or not due to the limitations thus far.
