Gold Corporation Second Class Recruiting Members
Already thinking about which villain groups fit my play style.
And I certainly agree with the need to bring in fresh blood. You guys are great, but the journey from 1-50 would be painful with just us three.

I had some further thoughts relating to both 1 and 2 from my first post.
I'm thinking that at least one powerset we use ought to belong to the NPC as shown in game. Ideally we would use both powersets to approximate those groups as best we can, but in finding a way to explain why the character left their 'comfort zone' and joined our ragtag group of evildoers there would be room for some variation. Going back to the Sky Raider idea, maybe he developed new tech he didn't want to share so he was Elec/Traps.
Don't want to stifle creativity, but if we did go with this plan, part of the idea would be to make the characters recognizable as what they were.

Hmm, I will think on this. Have to decide what I would want to play. Lot's of villain groups to chose from.

We do all still have our 50's, but we are looking for the next Class of mutants out of the Gold Corporation.
We decided to wait until Freedom because then all the AT's will be available to choose from. We will begin in Galaxy City, and go from there, so we would all start from Level 1. I am still working on the premise for the Second Class, however, Maximilian Gold, the leader of the Gold Corporation has always been on the lookout for new recruits and this will form the basis for the Second Class, to step in while the original team is embroiled with the Rikti, Praetorians, and whatever else threatens the City. If you are interested, please let me know. Don't necessarily need name of hero but an idea of AT that you might want to play, and your global or username. 1. @tyrusprime - Dominator of some sort 2. Starflier - Scrapper Moxie Girl 3. Battledog - Psi/Kin corruptor 4. mousedroid - Stalker (The) Ghost in the Grass 5. Philly Guy - Controller 6. j_thug - Hammer/Shield Tank 7. Square_woot - Brute 8. Tsukasa_NA - TBD Meeting time is Thursdays 7-9 ET. We won't be able to meet until September 29th. I am out of province for work. I do travel on occasion. That will be our targeted first meeting date. |

Before going too far, I want to point out that this is a Static Team, and not a regular Super Group. Basically, we meet once a week (Wed @ 7 EST) and only play these characters during that time. Other than that one day, we're not really active with this group.|

We are still active, though our numbers have dwindled down to just three of us. Our characters are ~38ish as of last week.
If you were interested in joining us on Wednesdays, tyrusprime from the list (thgebull0425 on the forums) is the guy to talk to.

@Starflier
I have a concept and a design already, but need to see if you are ok with it. We can discuss tomorrow night.
Hey guys, I am either going to be late, or won't make it tomorrow night. Some family stuff for mother's day which we are doing after mother's day, lol. So either see you a bit late, or I won't be on at all.
Since there's typically only three of us these days, here's my plan based on Bull's post - I'll log in at 7 PM as usual and start on Merc's long needed respec. By the time I'm done we can see if Bull's in game and if not, decide whether to play or just wait until next week.

Yeesh, Moxie Girl actually just ran out of influence buying 3 generic IO recipes. It's almost as embarrassing as it is pathetic.
See ya if I see ya. I'll be around for awhile.

Hey guys, Necris here again. Sorry to keep jumping in and out...I'm gonna be back in the game for a while, still room for me on the team? I would probably create a new guy(again), and try to get him up close to wherever you guys are now in terms of level. I enjoyed Hito-Kori while the split personality was going on, but I kind of wrote myself into a corner with his development/personality after that, and I honestly lost interest in him after that.
Yeah, we're still trucking on. Wednesdays at 7EST.
Anyone playing a mutant can come join us for that matter. We could use more bodies.

@Starflier
See you all on Wednesday.
My apologies, I meant to mention, I won't be here next week because of work. I will be out of town. Have fun without me 
Necris, you around this week? If we can get three, I'm in. If not, I say we skip and wait for bull to return next week.

Sorry, I know this is last minute, but I actually can't show up tonight. Had to do some last minute rescheduling of some important stuff...
So... next week then?

Next week... we will kick some villainous behind!

See you all tomorrow night. Shakeup will be there.
Really sorry guys. I can't show up tonight either. I will definitely be there next week!
Sorry again.
Hey guys, I think Bull said he was out of town for work, and I wanted to let you know I'm going to skip tonight too. I just found out that one of the cats I care for tested positive for feline leukemia and had to be put to sleep.
I should be around and more in the mood to play next week though.

Shakeup/Bull, will be here this week. See who I see, but hopefully see you all
Sorry guys, won't be showing up tonight. Again. Haven't really been feeling it for Night Oracle either...I've been trying to come up with a concept that I like for this team, but nothing's really hit me yet...my apologies guys. If I think I've got another guy, I'll come let you all know.
No Mouse next couple of weeks. I figure we might as well take them off.
Okay, so I said I'd write something up for the idea I proposed at the end of yesterday's session. Here it is.
As we inch inexorably closer to 50, I've been wondering what to do next. While that it is still some way away, I figured I'd throw this out there, and maybe you'd all do the same.
My idea: a Legion of Doom style villain team made up of NPC villains. This does a number of things for us, both good and bad.
1)It limits characters conceptually. Saying you're a Sky Raider engineer and rolling an Elec/Elec dom? No dice. AR/Traps or Bots/Traps? More likely. A lot of these NPC's have actual powerset combos that we can make, so the job is less coming up with the powers, than it is finding the NPC that fits the powers you want to play this go 'round. Some fudging may be acceptable.
2)It requires us to come up with a decent reason why you're on this 'team'. A Bone Daddy tired of being disrespected by heroes, and frustrated with the Skulls suckitude. A Circle mage tired of 10,000 years of doing pointless ***** work for demons. The list goes on.
3)It takes us away, for the most part, from the Mutant origin. Sure, Johnny the outcast is a mutant, but being a mutant wouldn't be one of our main focal points. Not saying that the mutant thing doesn't work, it does, but that it may have been a point of contention for new folks with concepts that didn't fit. I think Gold Corp has covered the mutant story well.
4)New people would be a must. You guys are awesome, but it's rough just the 3 of us, especially since we ended up with both a tank and a brute when the dust settled. We make it work, but new blood is a good thing.
5)Red side! We can do red side content, which I haven't played into the ground yet. We can be evil, or mercenary, or rogue, as long as we're keeping up the group dynamic. No, you can't kill everyone and take over, because that's not fun.
Well, that's more, and less, of what I planned to write for my idea. Curious what you guys think. Keep in mind we likely have months to go before we really have to consider this sort of thing; which assumes we're all still up for another go 'round after this one.
So, what do you think?
