"Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drenched our steeples, drowned the [roosters]!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Strike flat the thick rotundity o' the world!
Crack nature's moulds, all germens spill at once
That make ingrateful man!"
- William Shakespeare, King Lear, 3.2.1
All this talk about favorite characters and crowning moments of awesome has led me to think back through so many different characters, both mine and other peoples', that I've enjoyed watching, and somehow Storm keeps popping up.
One of those many things I've talked about, but never done, was run on an all-Storm-Summoning team.
There's no particular reason 8 characters with Storm Summoning would be better than other all-one-powerset superteams. I just want to see a huge mass of Lighting Storms and Tornadoes and Freezing Rains and so on. Storm is one of the more dramatic-looking sets and I've never seen anything quite like it in other games.
So I want to do it. I've picked Guardian, my original home server, because I have a high-level Stormy there (three, actually), and I get to pick the server if I'm making the post.
Beyond that....actually, I don't care. My goal is to laugh hysterically at the combined zottage of 6-8 Lightning Storms, not to finish any particular badge or whatnot.
What kind of Storm characters do I want? Well, since the goal is to use (and abuse!) the higher-end powers, I'd prefer "mature" Stormies who have access to all the powers, but I'm flexible. My own Stormies are Bluesiders, but we can probably accommodate villains for co-op events like an ITF. Beyond that, I don't care whether you're a Defender, Corruptor, Controller, or Mastermind (note to Masterminds with melee pets -- expect knockback!)
Two or three of my friends have shown an interest, but it's been hard to pin everyone down to a specific schedule of events. However, I doubt there will be a mass of Storm players eager to sign up, especially on short notice. Therefore, rather than hold spots for them, I'll just propose an event or two and people can sign up willy-nilly...Stormies are used to chaos, are we not? If we do get more than 8, we'll just deal with it.
Wednesday nights are open for me, as are many daytime Sundays.
I know it's short notice, but I'll try for tonight anyway:
ALL-STORM ITF -- Guardian, Wednesday Oct 3, 8:00 PM EDT.
Gather at Imperious in Cimeroroa and/or look for @Sailboat in broadcast, tells, and global channels Guardian and Level 50.
If we don't get enough (six minimum) for the ITF, well, we'll take out our wet, spinning, sparking fury on something. Can we defeat Romulus by ourselves?
Quote:
"Poor naked wretches, wheresoe'er you are,
That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm,
How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides,
Your looped and windowed raggedness, defend you
From seasons such as these?"
- William Shakespeare, King Lear, 3.4.28
If you can't make tonight, I'll do it again Sunday, Oct. 7th, at noon EDT:
1. @Sailboat -- the Rainy Knight (or another Stormy)
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
If people are able to make one time or the other on an ongoing basis, and want to, that would be cool; but this could just be a one-time event -- weather can be fickle like that.
If we are to die, let us die like men. -- Patrick Cleburne
