[UNION] So, who'd be interested in (resurrecting) a corporate PMC-style hero SG?

Crazy_Dragon · 08-08-2011 03:53 PM

A few years back Pious formed the SG "R.A.P.I.E.R.", which originally carried the theme of being a US Army-backed super soldier group up until he had to leave the game temporarily. At that point I was landed with sole leadership and despite my best efforts everyone involved generally stopped giving a flying fardle and the SG pretty much died with a whimper. Seriously, how the hell Pious managed when he was effectively doing all the work still eludes me to this day.

Cut to the present day and I discovered that while I'd pretty much given up on the SG, one player who remained in the SG in spite of its pitiful death had been busying himself building up the base to something awesome. Currently still unfinished, but awesome nonetheless. Which has pretty much inspired me to want to try again with the SG, only preferably with a fair bit more input from its members than I got the last time around.

This time around, though, it won't be Army-backed. When I took over I'd severed that link and made the SG privately-owned by one of my existing characters, which I thought allowed for a little more freedom as to what kind of characters could come into the SG, so technically, as mentioned in the title, it's now sort of a PMC, only operating in the service of Paragon.

So, the burning question: Anyone interested? Need to know more?

I'm going to pass, if only because I can barely remember to RP with the one group I am in (and not just a prestige filler for) , let alone add others.

Yeah, Im just appearing to say Im busy with razing another SG from the dead (NHU), so unfortunately won't be able to get involved.

Plus I must follow the unwritten rule of ignoring all your suggestions, or risk getting blackballed by the URP cabal.

I think that was a joke.

I HOPE that was a joke.

The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.

; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise

; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

We have a cabal now? Nitro, that best be a joke. Do explain.

I've been thinking about getting on Union and seeing what's up there and this'd be a good way to start. I'd have to be a "Guest Star" type of player considering my times are all over the place but count me in, I'll consider some ideas and get back to you.

Oh lord I seem to have caused dramz. This was not my intention.

Al is entirely right. As far as I know we don't really have a cabal.

Apologies.

Hmm, now a 'guest star' could be fun...

Also with new shinies on their way, I need to ignore them for as long as-- oh look! A shiny penny!!!

*scratches head* Guest Star characters. Forgive my half-tired brain (spontaneously waking up at 3-4am two days in a row is not fun), but how does that work again?

"Never give up! Never surrender!"

I inherited the lead after one of [C-D's] absenses from the game and I wasn't for letting it go. The layout had been small and then was a bit of jumble (from my perceptions) so when I got editing rights, I went to work. I wrote out a plan for the 'ship' and worked on a couple of rooms taking it as a redesign of the carrier after it got broke during a rescue mission

Only one room left to buy for the main design plan and then it's just filling in the details. It was always meant to be a surprise but I never got round to bringing it up.

Plenty of room. Most of the group is just filler alts of mine.

Well there's plenty of coalition spots left too (only 4 taken). NHU could borrow the transport if they wanted to
