Fun! I'll throw a billion to start off >.>
I could get behind this.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

A quick survey of what it would take, by server: Pinnacle: Around 350M prestige, 175B inf Protector: 178M/89B inf Infinity: 254M/127B inf Liberty: 226M/113B Victory: 360M/180B Champion: 452M/226B [!] Triumph: 183M/91B Justice: 376M/169B [ Guardian: 176M/88B ] Virtue: 353M/177B Freedom: 580M/290B Huh. Looks like some of the smaller servers have the more dedicated SG'ers. We could totally take Virtue! |
I pledge a billion up front plus a billion every two weeks for an indeterminate amount of time....
Theres no reason I can think of not to establish the crazy 88s on Guardian as thats the whole genesis of the name and all that....
Unfortunately I have nothing on Guardian to be able to start a SG right now....
Ill create a character later tonight and send out a global tell....so who is founding the group?
While I like the idea, Guardian seems to be such small potatoes compared to other servers. It would seem that going after such a small server might lend itself to the idea that perhaps Virtue or Freedom are out of the Ebil Marketears collective class.
Edit: Perhaps Champion would prove enough of a challenge since you don't really want to tangle with Freedom and Virtue.

I can start it up. My global is Cyvert and Guardian is my homeworld.

Well I started a chapter of crazy 88s on guardian. We can move on to bigger goals after me thinks. Send tell to @Cyvert if you wish to join.

Given that Virtue recently had a drama Llama incident last week where some SG leader got miffed at some other SG for hitting the #1 spot and accused them of cheating / hax I think Virtue absolutely be considered for this.|

(not that I have cash or anything, but it would amuse me to behold the whine threads your actions spawned)
Oh, man, that is so fractally wrong, but in a good way. heh.
I like llamas. And Drama is great fun.

This is why I want it on Virtue, and why I'm interested in participating. :3

I'll throw a couple bil at it if it hits Virtue. That's my home server, and the drama potential is DELICIOUS.
hmph well since everyone is hellbent on peeing in the RPers cheerios I guess I'll just do the guardian one on my own and see how long it takes me to move up the prestige ladder. A one man effort, 88 billion....it's gonna be rough.

If it's Virtue, count me in.
I'm in!
Let's take VIRTUE!

Don't get me wrong. I love to RP. I've spent more Inf getting the Prestige for my RPSG than anything else.
On the other hand, I'm fresh out of marketears for my marketea.

If anyone wants to make donations my project on Freedom (I'm already ranked #48 or so). I think I only need a couple hundred billion more. I will include the globals of anyone who donates at least 5 billion to this in my we're not recruiting but #1 spam that I will bellow every time I see a SG/VG do a recruit spam more than once in a zone in 5 mins.
I've already destroyed 10's of billions and may be the one who inspired Fulmen's project.
Lets show the AE exploiters who run whatever maps for prestige that marketeering is stronger than AE and their 5 vets and 70 noobs!
You could call it "Patience is a Virtue".
Ooh, a sarcasm detector. Oh, that's a *real* useful invention. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolog...t-sarcasm.html
Some questions:
1) Who or what is ranking SGs so that one of them can be considered the #1 SG on a server?
2) How does "destroying" inf cause a SG to be ranked higher?
3) How does this relate to the Market? By "destroying inf" do you mean buying things for your SG? What base items are sold at the market, or sold at all for that matter?

2) Turning inf into prestige
3) We make the money, we spend the money
OK, I get 2 & 3, but who is doing the ranking? City Vault?
I had no idea there were "ranked" supergroups out there. Is it like EQ or WoW where people have to apply to join and you have to have some minimum level of "gear" and attendance is mandatory. Or where they say "taking applications for two Dominators (perma-only please!) and a soft-capped Shield Scrapper or Brute." or "all members must take Vengeance."
Man, I don't miss those days. My current supergroup is just a place to hold my loot and have teleporters to all of the zones. I shudder to think what my ranking is.

None of the above. its pureply prestige based. you go talk to the supergroup registrar and ask to see the top SGs they're arranged by quantity of prestige.

[Edit]
We've started on Virtue. Here is the new thread. There's also a one-person Guardian project.

Virtue: 353M/177B

Huh. Looks like some of the smaller servers have the more dedicated SG'ers.
We could totally take Virtue!
