I hope this won't be a entire sausagefest.
^ LOL, here's hoping.
Anyway, I'm going to be a couple of minutes late. Having a tiny bit of trouble logging in, but it should be alright once I restart. See you guys soon!
I'm there as Magehound, global is @The Shadeknight.
Here as Matty Marvelous, and yes, the name was meant to be cheesy as hell.
@Nascentish
Double posting like a pro. It's justified. RECAP TIME!
So, three of us showed up: Matty Marvelous, Magehound, and Vanishing Man.
We proceeded to learn that in total, we had a snarky fellow, a dude who didn't seem very social, and a very talkative, opinionated blonde. Fun times.
After realizing that none of the three really liked each other, we proceeded to take up some tasks for Praetor White - aforementioned sketchy black dude we were all intended to meet near.
He had the team go and free some hostages in a nearby building. Reasonable enough.
Except Magehound vanished into the void, leaving Matty and Vanishing Man to promptly get a nice taste of the ground.
No harm no foul, it happens to be the best of us.
Over the next hour or so, Matty and Vanishing Man proceeded to trounce everything that dared to stand against them, all the while realizing that the PPD are hopeless, and those that are actually decent at what they do are probably working for the Resistance.
Yay.
The team stopped when the sketchy Praetor cut them loose, and are waiting for the rest of the team to show up to actually go and talk to this Provost Marchand fellow.

So. It was fun, even though it was just the three... er... two... er... anyone think the name Vanishing Man want to the wrong guy? ;D. Anyway. Our next meeting, hopefully, will be next Sunday. To try and ensure that we get more of a turnout next time around, I'll send you all a pm on Friday, or, if you all post here with your globals, I'll send you all in-game messages. Either way, judging by the fact that I enjoyed myself with just Matty and Vanishing Man, I think it'll be a blast when we get the team a bit more filled out.
... Only if we get someone else who's actually good at this whole socializing thing. Matty needs it. =P
I have tried the static team thing before and failed with it due to my work (US Army), but I find myself with time off in abundance, would you guys be interested in a character ala wolverine or spiderman to the Avengers, who is a reserve member, coming and going as neccasary for my RL life, but attached to the group and working with you all? I have a roster to choose from for lowbies or can make a whole new toon for the gorup.

I'm gonna have to pull my name out of the hat for this idea due to other commitments. Sorry guys. Feel free to give my vacant spot to one of the alternates.
I'd be happy to join this as Practical Jokester. But I dont have GR so I'd have to meet up in Atlas.
My wife and I were visiting my parents for the holiday weekend, so I wasn't able to make it. I did go ahead and create Capt. Newton in Praetoria, and here's hoping he makes his debut next week.
@Quarrios, Well it's worth a shot, right? Not to sound like a pessimist, but I doubt that all eight of us are actually going to show up tonight (I'm hoping that we do, but y'know, that's reality, people forget) so why not stop by tonight yourself? If we're running short, you could come along, and at the very least, you could be a part of the pre-mission rp, right? Again, broken record, but even if you can't do the teaming, either because Praetoria hates you or you can't make it, supergroup. Eventually. You're welcome to join. =D
ALSO.
Everyone, just a reminder that tonight is going to be our first meeting. So, everyone meet at Cole Tower (that's the big one, with the statue of Emperor Cole, and the fountain. And the big black guy.) at 7 PM, EST. As a bit of backstory as to why they'd all be working together, despite the fact that they won't be government-sanctioned until they become a team on Primal Earth, I'm thinking that they would all sort of know each other (first-name basis or whatever) and decided to work together on the grounds that they can get more done in a group than they can individually. So basically, they're not total strangers, but they don't know much about each other beyond names and stuff. =D
