Bat Country: Guidelines and Roll Call for live [update]

[schild]

We're gearing up for release in Bat Country, and with the limit of 75 players in a supergroup, we need to set up a few ground rules.

The first 22 people (first 3 are Haemish, Joe, and Schild) to express interest will receive two character "slots" within the group. The remaining 25 will only receive one. As the number of players within supergroups is increased, we'll first allow the remaining 25 a second slot, and then work back down from the top of the list, allowing the initial 22 a third.

From there, things will develop. We're gonna keep things pretty loosely organized, and we'll probably make captains of people who show enough interest to play a good amount, or posess some leadership qualities.

Below would you please answer the following questions in this format (if you only want to play 1 toon, then only list 1 toon. If you can't commit to more than one, just say so).:

Hero name(s): ??? & Motion Sickness
Hero archetype(s): M. Arts/Reflex Scrapper & Rad/Rad Defender
Can you commit to the Catass2Justice weekend? Yes/No

EDIT: Catass2Justice weekend is the weekend preorder people are allowed in before it goes live. We want to get out of the newbie areas (Atlas Park, Kings Row, Galaxy City, and The Sewer System) before the public is unleashed upon us. It is important. Don't pretend it isn't. Map Connection Lost sucks.

It's not a weekend. I am a calendar retarded apparently.

Just to remind everyone, catassing starts on Sunday the 25th and runs through the 27th, which is a Tuesday. Game goes live on Wednesday the 28th.

I'm afraid of committment but EB appears to have shipped the bonus CD so I'll be around for that party weekend. I have no idea what to make an alt though or if I'll even have one in the group.

Righ is playing some sort of blaster and will be there also, though he is pretty busy at work this week so he probably won't have time to peruse any boards.  He may have the entire release week off, though.

I'm planning on picking up a preorder box from the local EB tommorrow if they still have them, but I won't have much time to play before the preorder weekend..  Assuming that I'm invited I'm interested in joining:

Hero Name:  ??? (most likely Cevik, because I'm original like that)
Archetype:  fire?/fire? blaster (I'm thinking of trying to build a blaster of some kind)
Can I commit:  I have commitment issues.  I'll be around in preorder weekend but unfortunately I'm unable to commit to catassing at all ever.  I have to make time for the baby and the wife and work and all of that you know..

EDIT:  Think I've decided to go fire/fire blaster, not 100% decided yet, however.

Hero archetype(s): Dark/Dark Scrapper & Rad/Rad Defender

I am in- haven't played yet, so I don't know the character yet (I want to try some kind of controller/mezzer for sure). If there is room, I am hoping my old roomie can join us as well (he is an HD alum).

I THINK I will be moved in and ready to go by this time next week, so I will have a day or two of beta to dick around before the Catassing starts. I don't know how long I will be able to play during that weekend, but I will definitely be on.

[Alluvian]

I will be playing for sure.  And I would like to have one character in this SUPERgroup (I can't help but mentally pronounce that like Big Gay Al).  


True conversation between my wife and I:

My wife laughed histerically when I told her that is what guilds were called.  Then she calmed down and asked me, "That was hilarious, no, what are they REALLY called?".

Since then she has asked me two or three times randomly out of the blue, "Do they REALLY call them super groups?".

Finally I had to put some sense into her.  "Linda, they call them Player Associations in SWG and still freaking use /GU to speak in them."

Her response was "Yeah, and supergroup fits the genre for sure, but I just find it funny to say... supergroup".

Then I reply in my Big Gay Al voice "No, silly, they're SUPERgroups!".  

The logical response from her was, "I guess that DOES explain the tights".

"And my matching hat..."

P.S:  My wife kicks ass.

There is my totally unrelated supergroup story.

Um... And to stay on topic, I don't know what name or character I will be putting in the guild.  I will be filling up all 8 slots for sure though.  Depends on who shakes out.  I just want to reserve a slot and I will poke someone in charge when I figure things out.

Wish I knew who and how many are coming over to play CoH from my EQ/SWG guilds.  I have a bunch of 'probablys' or 'sometime after launch for sure'.

I will have to try to get them all on the victory server now I can keep secret tabs on them.

[kaid]

I would like to have at least one character in bat country. The name of that character is kinda in flux right now it depends what server we go to and what I can lock down for a name. The character I have in bat country will be a controller but I am really tossing around what combo I want will either be fire/ice or earth/storm controller.

I will post the name I finally get and the archtetype and powers once I get it in and locked down.


Kaid

[MuffinMan]

HeroName: Depends on server. Victory & Justice - The Muffin Man. All others - El Muffin Man
Hero Archtype: Tanker, Fire/Fire
C2J: Ack have to work Sunday and Monday and it's getting near crunchtime in class so I'm not sure.
