Woooh! OOC! *posts first to pop the OOC thread's cherry.*

So what's first for the scooby gang here? Can't have a group of supers without a villain on crackmethsteroids.

Wolvinator · Date: 2010-06-15 09:02 EST

I actually have an idea that I spun past Dris, and he was all for it. I was thinking of launching a group story that had to do with the Avengers taking on an NPC (or PC if someone wants to join in) Slaver/Slaver group. Maybe have the Avengers bust in and try to free some people.

Baby Ice · Date: 2010-06-15 13:05 EST

I got an idea, Wolvie. but you need to PM me.

Better Idea, since you've got the idea, you can PM me. :)

The Shaitan Covenant is more than willing to offer SLs of opposition. The original purpose of our group was to be the antagonist in stories of heroics, so if you are looking for a constant 'bad guy' to throw yourself against, we would be more than happy to help.

If this sounds good just let me know and we can get the ball rolling.

Neo Eternity · Date: 2010-06-15 20:09 EST

The Covenant would be great as consistent enemies. Neo and Riley have consistent grudges against them, and Neo and Jenillisa get along famously. :P

However, the Avengers should probably start off against an enemy like the NPC slavers. While the players of the Covenant may allow their characters to be defeated to an extent, they won't be defeated for good. NPC enemies can be defeated completely and absolutely, which would make for an entrance with lots of bang. They take out villains. They get the job done. But an exposition against the Covenant may imply that the Avengers can't get the job all the way done.

I would also like to bring up a few other things. I talked with Wolvie about some of these already before this board existed, and we decided that bringing them up in this OOC thread once it came to be would be best. This is all concerning the future of the Avengers, what it will eventually be.

1. Watch integration. The charter clearly states that the Avengers are to cooperate with the Watch. But how so? Are they a sort of super SWAT force to be called upon when needed? Do they act as sort of undercover cops? What, exactly, is the Avengers' relationship with the Watch? Does the Watch at large even know anything about the Avengers yet? This leads to point 2.

2. Level of publicity. It has been well established that while the Avengers organization is a work in progress, it is classified. But it has also been established that the Avengers will eventually go public. Why would the signup sheet ask if one's identity is to be secret or public otherwise? The special badge is further evidence of this. So. Just how public will the Avengers be? Oh, and speaking of the special badges...

3. The badges. Right now, all the Avengers have a special watch badge with a blue A on it. But while the Avengers are still classified, this badge is worthless, as one Sarah Mack so aptly proved one night in the Red Dragon Inn. (Thank you, Mack-mun! :D) Since no one knows about the Avengers, the A just makes the badge look fake. Now, Mack and her friend Yuki may not have cooperated if the badge did look authentic anyways; that's just how those characters are. But for some, the authenticity of a badge will make the difference between defiance and cooperation, or escalation and de-escalation. This is one thing in particular I talked with Wolvie at length about, and we agree that this is a problem. My proposal was that for the time being, the Avengers have been sent plain watch badges to use in place of the A badges. But this ties into point 2: will the A badges eventually come to mean anything, or ever be used again? If they're for clearance purposes, they shouldn't be. That's what the ID cards are for. A civilian won't know the difference between a patrolman's card and an Avenger's card. The badge should be a sign to show to the public. Depending on the publicity level of the Avengers, the A badge may become a more powerful sign than a standard badge. Otherwise, it's useless.

Aaaand... that's all I can think of for now. Probably best not to throw too much on the table anyways.

I completely agree and I actually was discussing this with Riley a bit. I think that the story should definitely start and end with an absolute, it's a great way to introduce the team, get them out there, and establish them.

1. Watch integration. The charter clearly states that the Avengers are to cooperate with the Watch. But how so? Are they a sort of super SWAT force to be called upon when needed? Do they act as sort of undercover cops? What, exactly, is the Avengers' relationship with the Watch? Does the Watch at large even know anything about the Avengers yet?

The Avengers are going to be introduced as sort of like an FBI unit. They work with the watch, but when the situation is too dangerous the Avengers take "control" of the situation and do what needs to be done. They'll work in a variety of roles. Undercover, SWAT, Secret Agent, whatever the role calls for.

2. Level of publicity. It has been well established that while the Avengers organization is a work in progress, it is classified. But it has also been established that the Avengers will eventually go public. Why would the signup sheet ask if one's identity is to be secret or public otherwise? The special badge is further evidence of this. So. Just how public will the Avengers be?

I'm sure not everyone is familiar with Avengers group from Marvel, so I'll try to explain this better. The Avengers will be a publically known group at some point, meaning the public will be aware of their existence. Whomever on the team wants their identity to be kept secret, will have that identity remain that way.

In the Avengers in Marvel comics, people like Iron Man and Captain America have their identities known, but other Avengers like Spiderman still have their identities secret. People just know that Spiderman is an Avenger.

3. The badges. Right now, all the Avengers have a special watch badge with a blue A on it. But while the Avengers are still classified, this badge is worthless, as one Sarah Mack so aptly proved one night in the Red Dragon Inn. (Thank you, Mack-mun! :D) Since no one knows about the Avengers, the A just makes the badge look fake.

Depending on the publicity level of the Avengers, the A badge may become a more powerful sign than a standard badge. Otherwise, it's useless.

I sort of suggested what was going to be done, as Wolvie stated that a memo was going to be sent out to the other ministers about the group. I think the watch should be advised that a new "group" will be on the streets and be updated on being shown credentials (i.e. badges and ID's) in regards to the new group. I put the badges in there in case anyone wanted to RP an FBI/CIA type of person and can flip open the badge and the ID to show who they are; and as a future RP tool once the group goes public.

Once the Avengers go public, the civilians will be more acquainted with them generally, so they'll "know" in essence that the badges are for real or what have you. I figured they'd go public soon enough, once they do a few missions, it'll be inevitable that the news outlets and gossip columns will be chatting about who this "super group" is, and the Governor/Minister of defense will make a public address.

I plan on creating a FAQ post to try and help guide this along. I'm really very sorry if I'm not conveying all of my ideas properly in my posts and ideas, I'm trying to be as clear cut as I can be. So I apologize if that's the case.

Sylus Kurgen · Date: 2010-06-15 21:02 EST

Call it dumb, but Avengers are an "elite squad"with access to places the rest of Rhydinian law enforcement can't go. Why not have the badges change or marked to note the difference at an indepth overview; at first glance sthey're regular watch badges. Thorough inspection has like S Class or something particular. Again, the badges could change when the Avengers are needed, it's how the group knows to assemble. Rest of the time they're normal Watch badges.

Througout their normal day the badges don't look like anything different, but when Wolvie or Dris do what they need to the badges turn into the big honkin red A.

Jenillisa Darvin · Date: 2010-06-15 22:48 EST

Why, yes, yes we do, Neo. ;)

Now comes the interesting part, yes?

On the subject of hero-villain interactions: While yes, having the Avengers go up against a group of NPC slavers/crooks/generic bad guys would introduce them with a bang, most superhero groups in comics have a regular band of adversaries that they fight with, defeat, capture, and then the villains escape confinement to engage in their foul deeds all over again. I for one am thrilled to see this happen!

Jester · Date: 2010-06-15 22:49 EST

And, on a further note, just to ask this question. . . what about the players who happen to have characters on either side of this potential rivalry? Like myself, for example.

Lani Reese · Date: 2010-06-16 12:25 EST

Wolvie don't kill me....

But there was a huge turnout for the Avengers when introduced. Why not post up something calling for villains? A small group of people who don't mind making throw-away SNs. These can be the villains that are totally 'conquered' vs the Covenant who we will be constantly at 'war' with (for lack of better words).

People can come up with some really creative villains that could make for some interesting SLs for the Avengers. And yes, I wouldn't mind posting/shifting through applications/choosing baddies since Wolvie already did the Avengers part of it :)

And a PS to Jester - I think having a charie on both sides could be fun, or you could ultimately choose which charie to play for each SL.

2. Level of publicity. It has been well established that while the Avengers organization is a work in progress, it is classified. But it has also been established that the Avengers will eventually go public. Why would the signup sheet ask if one's identity is to be secret or public otherwise? The special badge is further evidence of this. So. Just how public will the Avengers be?

In the Avengers in Marvel comics, people like Iron Man and Captain America have their identities known, but other Avengers like Spiderman still have their identities secret. People just know that Spiderman is an Avenger.

Okay, well, I wasn't thinking of the Secret quite like that. I totally wasn't thinking about masks, costumes or other ways of hiding the identity of the character from the public in how they are associated with the Avengers.

Dorag just wouldn't mix with capes, not to mention what would happen if he wore a mask. :lol: Plus, he doesnt' shape change or anything like that... and he just stands out like a sore thumb all over the place. There's no *Hiding* him of who he is.

I was thinking about the Secret part being more along the lines of not only nOt letting the public know of their connection to being an Avenger, but act like any undercover would for that organization. i.e., to me Secret meant their association with Avengers was publicly unknown period, and they were used more for things like infiltration or info gathering and silent watchdogs. The public would know them by whatever ruse they lived by in public.

I had envisioned Dorag would be publicly known just as a sword for hire and cook, while he secretly worked as an Avenger. So, I guess I need to change that?

Except I can see him infiltrating into a slave trade ring a couple of different ways.

Leuni · Date: 2010-06-16 21:48 EST

I like Sylus' suggestion about the badges.

And awesome on the proposed storyline!

BardGallant · Date: 2010-06-17 16:02 EST

I'll preface by saying that once again you guys are doing a fantastic job with this branch of the storyline. Congratulations are in order to Wolvie for pulling together a large selection of interest and participation, as well as for getting a folder specifically designed for this group.

All kinds of questions are bound to arise from this sort of thing, and I think it's only healthy that they be asked and options be discussed. There is no I in team, as they say, and nobody can role-play by themselves. Well, I'm sure they can, but I doubt it's as fun.

As for where the Governor stands? Well. As you all know, Dris approved of the project. So rest assured he knows what's going on. As we've agreed upon it, Wolvie keeps the Governor informed. However, it's doubtful that Dris is going to publicly admit to being a part of the project in any way. At least not until such time that it does go public and the citizenry starts clamoring to know where he stands. For right now he's staying as tight-lipped about it as the rest of the members. I'd even go so far as painting Dris into the role of the Mysterious Man In Black, for the time being. A couple of people know he's behind it, but he doesn't really put in any face time. Doesn't help with any missions or whatnot, and probably won't.

On the Shaitan Covenant becoming the recurring super-villains for this group, I whole-heartedly approve. I think you two groups could work fantastically together and intermingle stories the likes of which the whole of this community hasn't seen in a very long time. I even had an angle to work in to have the Avengers start investigating them that you could use to jump-start everything to come. I think Neo's aware of it, because Dris told Neo specifically to "look into the Shaitan Covenant." Dris had a little chat with Icer one day, off the record, and discovered that her daughter Icesong was under the influence of the Covenant. He told her he'd look into it. Well, what he really meant is that he'd assign his lackeys (for want of a better word) to look into it. lol!

So there's my two-cents. My PM box is always open, too, if you ever need to verify anything with me, but as far as I'm concerned you guys don't need my "approval" for anything you do. It's role-play. Roll with it and have fun!

Riley ORourke · Date: 2010-06-17 16:10 EST

Also, about the Covenant, or as Ri and Neo have come to call them, the SSSV (Secret Society of Super Villains):

Riley and her Boys (and assorted creatures) in Blue would love love love to take down the Covenant...but they cannot.

Considering Riley's former rather...intimate...involvement with the Sierene and her Sentinel, Riley has decided that it would look all sorts of Abuse of Power and using her position to further a personal vendetta if she went after them. So, she will not unless specifically ordered to by the Governator. But rest assured she'll be not-so-secretly cheering for the Avengers from the side lines!

Wolvinator · Date: 2010-06-22 08:41 EST

Hey guys, just to let everyone know I'm going to be around sparingly for a bit, as my wife just have birth to our latest edition, a baby girl. So once the excitement calms down I should have more time. I'm looking forward to get the First Adventure storyline started here when I can. :)

Leuni · Date: 2010-06-22 11:17 EST

Aww.. Congrats! That's awesome... another little wolvie..er 'ess.. in the world. :grin: Enjoy your newly arrived happiness. They grow up real fast! :cool:

Alright guys, back in action. I'll be looking to kick off that SL here shortly, just wanna get my ducks in a row first. :) Be on the lookout to have your Avengers jump into the fray.

Wolvinator · Date: 2010-07-30 16:21 EST

I'm trying to nail the governor down for the start of the next Storyline and I apologize it's been well over a month since we said we'd kick this thing off.

Rest assured, I will be doing so soon. :)

Hey guys, I'll be shooting out PM's to everyone here later on today in regards to finally getting this story off of the ground. Be sure to check your inboxes.

Wolvinator · Date: 2010-09-08 17:29 EST

Instead, I made an OOC post HERE since PMing everyone with the current board format is very limited to mass PM's.

Leuni · Date: 2010-09-13 22:23 EST

Yeah, like you can't mass PM?

And...

Somebody needs to wake up Hicks! :lol:

Wolvinator · Date: 2011-10-02 15:48 EST

Alright, it looks like we're back in action. This time, hopefully, to stay. :)

I want all currently listed Avengers to please check in if you still want to be a part of the "group". Just reply to the OOC thread here if you're still interested by Saturday Oct. 8th. If you reply after that, it's fine, but I just want to get some things off and running; not to mention there's been some new people interested in joining. I don't want the group to be too big if we can help it, because then things are only going to get confusing. :)

Thanks guys!!

HX-909-A · Date: 2011-10-03 11:14 EST

A suggestion would be to post an OOC sticky topic with the current roster of Avenger team members.

Wolvinator · Date: 2011-10-03 11:46 EST

There already is one HERE. :)

Grem · Date: 2011-10-03 15:32 EST

You can go ahead and consider Grem's first suggestion to be removing Brian Ravenlock from the roster and removing all of his privileges and access, then. :P

Wolvinator · Date: 2011-10-03 20:44 EST

Yep. :) Wolvie is gonna get to that. Figure I'd just give everyone a few days to catch up.

Race Bannen · Date: 2011-10-03 21:40 EST

New badges might be in order too. And...ya still gotta post hint hint. hint hint.

Brian Ravenlock · Date: 2011-10-03 22:31 EST

*chuckles*

Jade Ravenlock · Date: 2011-10-04 01:28 EST

Delayed congrats on the Mini, Wolvie mun!
From what I read, I ADORE this. Jade would totally get in on this, seeing as she has past dealing with Romax and Travvy... BUT there is a current SL that might conflict with this. Might.

Much love, and miss playing with you, Wolvie!

Katt Batten · Date: 2011-10-04 03:54 EST

Ranger · Date: 2011-10-04 09:23 EST

I want all currently listed Avengers to please check in if you still want to be a part of the "group".

I think there may be a few of the players and their characters still around, but the only one I see consistently on is now very much not going to be on the 'team.'

The rest, I think, have their characters committed elsewhere or no longer play on RDI. But I could be wrong - it's still a few days from the deadline.

I completely agree here. Things happen, people move on and such. I figure I'd give everyone a week, see whose still around, comes back, what have you, and I'll go from there. I'm actually looking forward to incorporate some of the newer "relationships" that have been made over the past few months and sort of reform and regroup the team.

FioHelston · Date: 2011-10-04 11:45 EST

::slow smile::

Jester · Date: 2011-10-04 19:24 EST

I believe, at this time, that if the Saurian is going to be a part of this, it's as a reserve member only. If there aren't any reservists, then toodles.

Icer1978 · Date: 2011-10-04 22:16 EST

Theres a closet? Count Icer in.

Vinny · Date: 2011-10-08 23:08 EST

Oh, I'll be assembling, all right.

Wolvinator · Date: 2011-10-09 10:34 EST

The Avengers FAQ has been updated with membership. I know I've seen posts and PM's in regards to new members and such, and I'll be getting to those either today or tomorrow. I don't want the Avengers to be too big, as you can see we have a lot of inactive members.

But I do plan on expanding the roster a bit and some of the relationships may be "vapored" just a tad to get the ball rolling.

Ebon Ilnaren · Date: 2011-10-09 20:56 EST

I don't want the Avengers to be too big

Just don't limit it to seven members. ;)

Leuni · Date: 2011-10-19 16:06 EST

So the "group" is active again.... but for those sweating bullets right now... don't worry, I won't be bringing Leun in on this. ;P but really I've decided that I just don't have time to play her right now. Maybe some other time or if things change for me might sneak her in... that is, if I'm allowed. Just have to wait and see how things go. It's been a crazy year in which I've been both discouraged about playing and plain 'ol just haven't had time. Anyway, not sure what plot is currently brewing or in what time line, heh.. but if you need some thoughts on it, just say Leun came up missing in action during the attacks by Travanix on the city. she may have been rescued by Brian's directive and made it to that camp out in the woods, or maybe she wasn't I'm flexible, but either way at some point she just mysteriously came up missing. So, that will be why she isn't part of this regroup.
Ya'll have fun then! :0)

Roderick Kingsley · Date: 2011-11-04 17:45 EST

Ebon Ilnaren · Date: 2011-11-06 23:08 EST

I see the armored triple-play is on the move... this will be an interesting read. :)

Edward Batten · Date: 2011-11-23 12:37 EST

Just a thought - since there isn't a whole lot to go on the Desert Rcon Mission thread, why not finish it up in post? I'm pretty sure there will be scheduling conflicts over the holiday weekend as well, what with people and family and people in different time zones.

(Cross posted in the Field of White Flowers OOC thread.)

Edward Batten · Date: 2011-12-03 21:17 EST

So....having not heard from Wolvinator in a while, and after IMing and PMing him, and with the hectic chaos that is most likely taking up his life given the season, I was considering having Ed sort of temporarily take over the reins of the Avengers, if there are still people interested in taking part in the story.

I won't be changing anything, save perhaps opening up the roster for a few more additions. But if anyone has any objections, speak up!

Giminicka · Date: 2011-12-16 08:35 EST

:twisted: Count us in hon. :twisted:

Edward Batten · Date: 2011-12-16 16:13 EST

Okay, soooo...

I promise, things are in the works to get this Avengers thing up and moving again. But before I can do anything with them, I need to know who is still in on this (as in active Avengers).

So...all you with characters in the Avengers, speak up in this here OOC thread and let me know what's what!

I'm giving everyone still interested until the 26th of this month to put your shout out up here. If, by some weird chance, all currently active members (with the exception of those that founded the idea, of course) have managed to get back to me on here before then, we'll get this ball rolling.

If not, you'll just have to wait until the 27th.

Wanda · Date: 2011-12-17 11:34 EST

If you need a witch even in a supporting role, I'm here.

:twisted:

Edward Batten · Date: 2011-12-17 21:57 EST

I want to give the current members a chance to declare their standing before we get to new membership. Who and how many respond will determine if and/or how many new member slots will be available, and from there we do the application process, which will be explained in more detail once the current membership is established.

Katt Batten · Date: 2011-12-17 22:33 EST

In complete honesty I think you should wait till after the holidays before attempting this but that is my humbled opinion.

Personally Katt is here, avenger or not!

Edward Batten · Date: 2011-12-28 12:31 EST

All right then...with the holidays and all going on, and seeing as how not a single current member of the Avengers roster replied, I guess it seems only fair to extend the response time for current Avengers out until a later date.

I'm thinking, oh, say, the 5th of January 2012.

And if no one responds by then I'm clearing the roster and starting from scratch.

Wanda · Date: 2012-01-07 14:45 EST

Just reiterating interest.

Let me know what you need and how you want to handle things and the Witch is available.

Aside from 1/12 where I'm working a close shift (Home about 9pm) and 1/21 where I have my obligatory Saturday shift (Home after 3pm), I'm usually available after 5pm est.

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-01-08 02:40 EST

For those clueless as to what's going on, see this post.

In essence, this is a call for any and all that have a desire to be in on the Avengers storyline to make it known here! There are a limited number of slots available, and it is necessary to 'apply' for a position if you want one, so please let us know here if you are interested!

I also have a few characters I've seen played and written for here and there that I may reach out to, so there are already people on the list of candidates!

Interested? What are you waiting for? Speak up, because we won't know if you don't!

Ebon Ilnaren · Date: 2012-01-08 12:56 EST

I'm torn... as a player, I would dearly love to be a part of this, but Ebon has reservations, primarily on behalf of his family and not making them a target. He is also concerned that the Avengers may not be ready to face what could well be "a time of war" looming.

That being said, he considers Batten more of a realist than Wolvinator (though that may just be due to being more familiar with Ed), and he DOES miss the camaraderie that comes from being part of a team of heroes. So add him to the list of potential applicants. :)

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-01-13 02:02 EST

Ebon has valid concerns on all those points. That's why Ed will not be running the Avengers from the standpoint of 'team dynamics' and 'battle preparedness' - he has someone far more qualified than himself taking care of that.

Who, you ask? Well, if you don't know the answer already, you will soon.

And for everyone else: LAST CHANCE!!!

Come on, I know there are others out there that are wanting to be a part of this uber-awesome idea, originally conceived by minds much greater than my own (before I was born, in fact) and brought to Rhy'din by yet another awesome writer.

So: if you think your character is cool enough, tough enough, and/or good enough to be an Avenger, speak up and stand out! Let us know you want to get in on this action, because I'm not a mind reader and won't have a clue until you say something!

Sylus Kurgen · Date: 2012-01-13 14:52 EST

Not to walk a fine line, but previously in this thread, Wolvinator (I think) asked who wanted to remain listed as an active member. Jester and Neo said they could only be reservists. Wanda and myself said we were still around, and nothing came of it. Then you, Ed, started asking the same thing. Well that kind of happening can make some feel like they shouldn't bother if their original announcement is going to be ignored or glossed over.

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-01-13 15:37 EST

As long as we're here, I would like to point out that I asked all current members to let me know if they were still interested back on the 17th of December last year. I heard from not a single one, and y'all were given until the 5th of January to do so...so I naturally assumed that none of the former members were interested, and decided to start from scratch.

Now before anyone starts about it having been the holidays, I would like to point out that I managed to find time, and along with a job, 4 kids and a wife to manage, I had Christmas celebrations in three different states to go to. Plus, any members were welcome to say they wanted in when I opened the bidding for positions to the public.

That being said, Sylus, you were one of the ones I was hoping to hear from...your character kinda rocks, and I'd love to have you. All ya have to do is beg me.

Okay, ya don't have to beg...momentary power drunkenness there :) Really, just say the word and you're in.

That goes for anyone on Wolvie's active, inactive, and reserve lists as well.

Except Brian. Obviously.

Race Bannen · Date: 2012-01-13 15:55 EST

I'll get back to you on all this.

Race has reservations mainly because he is on the Advisory Council. To him that creates a conflict of interest in what the group stands for and the tasks it may have to perform in the name of Public Defense.

Sylus Kurgen · Date: 2012-01-13 16:03 EST

You asked in December. I posted in October.

Wolvinator's player sent out the roll call. Myself, Neo, Jester, Bonecrusher, and Vinny spoke up. Month and a half later, roll call again. That was simply my point.

If Sylus' services are desired, he still has the badge.

Brian Ravenlock · Date: 2012-01-13 17:46 EST

So Raven can join right?

Race Bannen · Date: 2012-01-13 18:11 EST

Oh no he di'int! :shock:

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-01-13 18:17 EST

Well, my purpose in re-posing the question was to see who was still interested after Wolvie went absent again...I know sometimes when a story gets dropped or seems to be abandoned (especially when it's more than once) a lot (if not all) of the people involved start asking themselves why they're still bothering...so I wanted to see who was still up for it.

And as soon as this is posted I'll update the 'current' roster.

Race has reservations mainly because he is on the Advisory Council. To him that creates a conflict of interest in what the group stands for and the tasks it may have to perform in the name of Public Defense.

I get that...it's one of the reasons Ed got put in as a consulting member rather than a fully active one. There's also the fact that he runs his own company and will be providing another source of funding for the Avengers. And other reasons, mostly OOC ones.

So Raven can join right?

Oh, sure. You just get me photographic evidence of glaciers in Hell and we'll set that up.

In all seriousness...if anyone ever gets a really hard hit in on Brian that unscrambles his brain, it's not an impossibility. How many times was Capt. America kicked off/left the Avengers (once or twice being indicted on criminal charges, as I recall) and then come back again as either member or leader?

Anyway...there's still time, folks! Still want in? Tell us!

Grem · Date: 2012-01-13 19:30 EST

Be careful. Dante described the ninth circle of Hell as a frozen lake, so glaciers wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

Let's not forget Hank Pym, either...

Uh... Bonecrusher spoke up to what... when? we talkin 2011 or 2010? :lol: Just trying to catch up through all this confusion. Life's been busy and still is. Not that I don't want to play, but it's difficult especially when you're gone for so long and try to catch up with what's been going on and find that half the stuff you knew was going on is being ignored by some and rewritten by others and I'm finding over all (throughout all of RDI that is- not just one or two spots) it's more of a headache to try and fit back in and make sense. It's my one pet peeve with RDI as a whole... all the ignoring and rewriting of each other's works. Just trying to wrap my head around it all. Anyway, Hope everyone had a great holiday and hope this new year will be better for all.

HX-909-A · Date: 2012-01-15 17:40 EST

Okay, short recap for those who seem to be rather confused.

Back in October last year (2011), Wolvinator put out a roll call to all the old members of the Avengers, to see who was still interested. Some of you spoke up and said sure.

Since that roll call, Wolvinator has not been seen on DM/RDI except for very brief lobby or lurking appearances. He has not posted anything to the Avengers folder, nor has he (to my knowledge anyway) contacted anyone regarding the fate of the Avengers.

Rather than let the SL simply slip back into a coma and die, Batten here (who was asked by Wolvie to join the Avengers) stepped up to take leadership. He issued another roll call in December. He also explained that we was going to work with a blank members list, and then gave people till January 5th to respond if they wanted on the list. He even explained why he was doing this, because he had not heard from anyone on Wolvinator's roster that they were still interested.

So, long and short of it is this: Unless Wolvie shows up to take the Avengers back, Ed-man's in charge now. If you want to be active in the Avengers, it would be a good idea to try and check the folder now and again to see the updates.

Now Ed... Since several of the old members do still seem interested, I'd give them the opportunity to remain.

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-01-15 21:46 EST

He even explained why he was doing this, because he had not heard from anyone on Wolvinator's roster that they were still interested.

Actually, what I did was say that if none of the Avengers from the last roll call responded, I was going to clear the roster. Again, I did this because until a few days ago I had not heard anything from any of the Avengers on that list, nor had I seen any activity to speak of from them, and I did not know if they were still around and/or interested.

Now Ed... Since several of the old members do still seem interested, I'd give them the opportunity to remain.

I've already done this: anyone from the old Avengers (No, Brian, NOT you, or Raven...well, not right now, anyway) is welcome to shout out they want to get in on the action and will immediately be added to the roster.

However, I unfortunately do not see that happening.

Yes, I'm taking charge. I thought it was a shame that this folder (and its associated stories) were abandoned once, when it could have been sustained by its members even in Wolvinator's absence. This isn't a criticism, just a fact I'm pointing out - this was y'all's story, and for whatever reason, when Wolvie stepped away, everyone pretty much stopped.

I don't know why. To be perfectly honest, it doesn't matter - I would like to keep it going, and until Wolvie comes back and takes over or wants to get rid of it, I'm going to keep on going with it. I'm sure he approves, because he hasn't said otherwise, and if he had an objection I have no doubt he'd voice it.

I'll re-iterate what I've already said: anyone who was here when this whole thing started is welcome to be a part of it. If you don't want to be, that's your choice.

In other news, letters have been sent out to candidates! Some of you have talked to me, and everyone that has has gotten one. I've also sent out letters to other characters who I think would also be great as a part of this, so everyone check your inboxes!

Thank you for the invite. I'm sure Julianna would love to be considered as long as no one made her use any guns. ::grin:: Hope my application is approved.. 'boss' <---since technically you and Leo are her boss anyway. ::chuckle::

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-01-16 13:37 EST

So...last night I sent out a couple more invites. :) FYI folks, I haven't closed the window on people wanting to be a part of the Avengers, so if you have the itch and want to give it a shot, speak up!

The sign-ups will run until I post an 'official roster,' so let us know while there's still time!

Oh, one more thing.

Something Wolvie and I discussed (and which I thought was an awesome idea) is the possibility of two Avengers teams - much like the X-Men had the Blue and Gold teams, or the Avengers and the West Coast Avengers (and all the other Avengers teams).

If there's enough interest (and it's beginning to look like there is) and enough good characters (ditto to the first) this is a real possibility. So, if you're thinking that your character probably doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of making it on, try it anyway - we might just have room for you!

Sylus Kurgen · Date: 2012-01-16 14:49 EST

thanks man! glad to know some people dont just write off and/over others.. :cool:

yeah things got dropped without word and caused some confusion. Active is such a relative term. I get the feeling it means active in chat more then boards. or even active so many times a week which is more then I can do. I like the idea of being considered missing in action due to what happened with the scarred storyline. I think I'll go with that for good 'ol Dorag here. who knows, maybe I'll surprise you all sometime, just pop back in when you least expect it. Happy roleplaing!

Sandral · Date: 2012-01-19 16:50 EST

In terms of Scarred, I'm still active and can provide a bit of antagonistic support if need be, including help with character disappearances, bribes, etc... (With player permission of course).

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-01-22 22:08 EST

Coming Soon: The complete Avengers roster!

What I need from those who sent replies or spoke to me personally is a suggestion for team names.

When Wolvinator and I talked about it, the teams were going to be the Avengers and the WestEnd Avengers.

Any other suggestions for names are welcome, or input on this subject as well!

Keep your eyes out, potentials, it's nearly here!

Thwei Cetanu · Date: 2012-01-23 15:52 EST

( I don't think you should label either of the two groups with a place, like the WestEnd Avengers, that would sort of limit them to being seen as only working in that part of town and not all over. Perhaps something like:

Avengers Veritas and Avengers Aequitas ?

The words mean:
Veritas: truth
Aequitas: justice, fairness

Kinda fits what they are, right? For Truth and Justice?
Plus, gives them a kinda cool sounding ring for the two groups. :o)

I like this idea! Much like Thwei already stated, WestEnd feels like a limitation to me. It'd be much like using the name of any of the current districts. I think it would be somewhat expected that if Group A is called Seaside Avengers that they would be based in and working in Seaside as opposed to the city as a whole.

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-01-23 17:15 EST

Actually, I like this idea too, for many reasons...not the least of which is that I'm a big Boondock Saints fan.

Wanda · Date: 2012-01-23 17:22 EST

Has a good ring to it and doesn't connect either team to a section of the city.

Sylus Kurgen · Date: 2012-01-23 18:01 EST

Might want to rethink Aequitas.

"Hi, I'm Sylus...member of AA."

Instead of separate teams might be easier to stick with straight Avengers and just have the roster split into groupings that have high statistical probabilities of success in working together. Just my .02

Katt Batten · Date: 2012-01-23 18:25 EST

"Hiii Sylus!"

-goes along with the joke. snicker snicker- AV ftw

Marek Kharune · Date: 2012-01-23 18:32 EST

And.. if you're just an Avenger it's..
"Hey guys, I'm with the A's" ???

Sounds like a street gang from West Side Story.

I say Avengers Veritas and Avengers Aequitas for the win.

Sounds good off the tongue and if you're an Avenger and introducing yourself to someone you wouldn't shorten your title to AA
You'd tell them the full name.

"Hey I'm a member of AA."

"You're a member of the Aeromancy Airborne? Anti-Animals? Anyone Aware? Airheads Atlanta? Anti-Atheists? Arrogant Acorns? Aqua Acrobats?"

How you would introduce yourself..

"I'm a member of the Avengers Aequitas."
or
"I'm a member of the Avengers."

When I introduce myself to people I don't shorten my title in the real world.

Actually it has nothing to do with that. Hard enough to get any "hero" in this setting taken seriously, do we really need to open up the group to that easy sort of ridicule straight off? More than likely any member wouldn't say Aequitas or Veritas. They'd all simply say Avengers. In the comics I never saw the Boston or Detroit extensions of the Avengers use that in their greetings. They were merely the Avengers.

The other possible downside is psychological. When you take a group and split it into smaller parts, those separate branches can, and usually do, develope rivalries. Not all of which are positive. One thing if certain characters don't like each other...but want to risk the possibility of the two groups getting into pissing contests with each other? FBI, CIA, State and Local authorities all have this, even any company with multiple departments. You do have groupings that don't like other departments. Depends on environment and managerial influence certainly.

Separate teams can be a good thing, or it could be bad. Only way to find out would be to give it a try. I'm not opposed to Veritas and Aequitas, just playing a little devil's addy.

Wanda · Date: 2012-01-23 18:55 EST

The West Coast Branch only came out and said "I'm a Whacko" in a tongue and cheek fashion, but then Hawkeye was known for his sarcasm.

I think it would be more "I'm with the Avengers."

The Aequitas and Veritas, I would think to be more internal classifications based on training and who is the team leader.

Much like my office. We have My team divided between 4 areas and three supervisors.

Contractor Scheduling (Further subdivided)
Core RCS
Admin
Special Programs

The team designations are more for training and who the team reports to for program information. There is some overlap like I'm Core and Special Programs, other state programs as well with some Admin.

Ebon Ilnaren · Date: 2012-01-26 22:27 EST

I think Sylus has a point about possible intra-team rivalries if the group is split into two (or more) fixed teams. There should be some fluidity between the divisions, not only for that reason but to allow members to become more used to their teammates' various talents and personalities.

On the other hand, I do think Veritas and Aequitas are way cool.

Perhaps the division names would only be permanently assigned to the field team leaders. So let's say Spartan is one, and something comes up and he says, "I need Sylus and Thwei and Bonecrusher." They would then become Team Veritas for the duration of that mission... does that make sense?

The final list will be posted either tonight or tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled!

I appreciate the patience of all those that have responded and have been looking for things to get rolling. Shortly after the list is posted there will be a thread put up for a 'meet and greet' session so everyone can become acquainted and to brief the characters on what comes next.

Be on the lookout, and again thanks you all for waiting so patiently!

Now about that whole eye peeling thing....
Really? Ed? Have you ever tried it?
IT REALLY HURTS!!
+eeek+

j/k :lol:

just wanted to wish everyone well, and good luck. Hopefully you'll all make it more then a few short strings beyond the meet n greet. I look forward to reading them at least. And it seems there are a handful of people with missing or for a while inactive characters that maybe could get together at some point down the road using something from Scarred as the excuse to be gone, and in turn revive yet another story to be used for some returns. We seem to have ... connections for it. Just thought I'd toss that bone out there.

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-02-01 15:49 EST

Now about that whole eye peeling thing....
Really? Ed? Have you ever tried it?
IT REALLY HURTS!!

I can't say as I've ever tried literally peeling my eyes, but it does sound quite painful! Of course, the phrase wasn't meant to be taken that literally, so if you read that and actually attempted it, I'm going to cover my @$$ and claim no responsibility or liability for that. Seek medical attention, and then see a psychologist. :grin:

And thanks for the wishes! Nice to know there's one of the 'original' members that is looking forward to what we n00bs can come up with. And while I can't speak for anyone else, I promise I will do my very best to keep this project going for as long as there are those interested in doing it.

As far as future projects...well...there's still a lot that can be done there. Think of all the superhero teams out there that could be adapted to Rhy'din! The Justice League (Kudos to Issy for that one), S.H.I.E.L.D., any of the X-Teams, or you can just...make one up (much like Fallen Wolf and his Guardians).

There is also the hope that old Avengers members will return for guest appearances or to re-join, if they so wish. (No, that's not an afterthought.)

And now, without further ado:

The Avengers Roster!

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-02-03 03:26 EST

P.S. Eless' codename would be Nightingale. :)

This has been taken care off, by the way.

I'm taking suggestions, by the way, for codenames for Thwei and Buram.

I was thinking 'Predator' (for Buram) and 'Arbiter' (for Thwei, another name for an arbitrator). :mrgreen:

Of course, if you guys would rather not have them, that's fine too. :)

The Rocketeer · Date: 2012-02-03 07:31 EST

It's not up to me, but I like those names... particularly NOT using "Predator" for Thwei, which would be cliched given his profile pics. :)

Well assuming those two want codenames, I'd suggest using Arbiter for Buram, seeing as he's an Elite from Halo-verse.

For Thwei, I'd suggest Hunter.

Ebon Ilnaren · Date: 2012-02-05 12:06 EST

For Thwei, I'd suggest Hunter.

Or, taking a cue from his profile, perhaps "The Ancient" might be good?

Wanda · Date: 2012-02-05 13:15 EST

I'm for Hunter and Arbiter for Thwei and Buram respectively. Assuming Thwei wants a codename.

For Thwei, I'd suggest Hunter.

Avenger's insignias are out! Check your inventories!

Well, except you, Buram. The apostrophe in your name keeps me from giving you one, at least until I can figure out how Sergei does it.

And Sylus, you have two. Whoops. Feel free to give one back, or something.

Have you tried using the "Find Username" feature?

Thwei Cetanu · Date: 2012-02-06 01:38 EST

( Hmm.. Not a big fan of Arbiter, sounds like an ankle biting little dog. If he has to have a codename for the Avengers, I'd suggest either Predator, Arbitrator or The Ancient. )

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-02-06 11:19 EST

As a matter of fact, Rhi, I hadn't tried that. Unfortunately, right after you suggested it I tired it, and had no luck.

I was trying to keep away from the use of 'Predator' for Thwei, in order to keep away from cliches. And I would consider using 'the Ancient,' but...it just doesn't hold the same ring, and there's the fact that numerous folks in Rhy'din might try to sue for use of the name.

I do like Arbitrator, though - one who solves arguments. I think that works perfectly for Thwei. :mrgreen:

Thwei Cetanu · Date: 2012-02-06 11:43 EST

(( Arbitrator it is.. ))

Sylus Kurgen · Date: 2012-02-06 12:03 EST

Ah, well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I seem to remember that RoH somehow disallowed SNs with apostrophes because of this problem.

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-02-06 16:53 EST

I know there's a way to do it, because Sergei managed to give an Airshow icon to Leo, and his screen name has an apostrophe in it (In Wolf's Clothing). No one else has managed it thus far, so I'll have to ask him how he managed it.

Wanda · Date: 2012-02-06 16:55 EST

There is a known issue with the forums where SN's using non alphanumeric characters, with the exception of the underscore, cannot receive inventory items.

And Big welcome and thanks to the guys and girls for the scene last night. It was impromptu and very much a blast.

Ebon Ilnaren · Date: 2012-03-01 20:42 EST

The irony of Ebon mentioning, in the meeting topic, that Kain was safely secured just one day before he breaks out is not lost on me. ;)

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-03-02 00:20 EST

To make it even more ironic? Not even an hour after he breaks out, he goes and tries to free Renna.

Who was also 'contained.'

Well...Renna is still more contained than Kain, but still. :lol:

For the record, Ebon's comment about having someone who could talk to ants was, in fact, a reference on my part (not his IC), to the actual Avengers comic. ;)

I just dropped in to say that I am having a GREAT time with this so far! Despite delays (admittedly caused by me and my odd work schedule over the last week - now fixed), this seems to be getting off to an awesome start! Now, we need to get things into serious action!

That's coming soon, too, I promise!

And now, another announcement.

I had a couple of late entries, one of which was unsolicited, one which was more of an official invite. And I like both of them so much that, coming soon, their names will be added to the roster, and yet another team created.

I promise, you will approve - I've played with one character and really enjoyed their style, and the other...well, let's just say the other is an Avengers essential.

In the meantime, I can't wait to see where we can take this! I hope you're all enjoying this as much as I am!

The meeting wasn't dismissed. At least, not officially. Johnny was just getting antsy and had decided he'd heard enough talk for one day. He had his orders, he knew what he had to do, and he wasn't one for sitting around too long while other discussed strategy. If he caught hell for being too impulsive, it wouldn't be the first time, or probably the last. What were they going to do, after all? Fire him?

Nice pun, Johnny! :twisted:

Johnny Storm · Date: 2012-04-08 15:35 EST

So, group assignments. Other than PM's on here and RoH my AIM is the same as the character name. Lets see about getting things underway.

"Torch, Rocketeer, Virus and Scarlet, you're going to be assigned the task of baiting and trapping Pestilence. Get her to the Glen and ground her if you can, then call in Ranger - we've got a little surprise that should be able to effectively neutralize her while keeping her alive."

That's our assignment, I believe. I've had Johnny flying regular patrols over the city and the outlying areas, but as yet, and until someone tells me otherwise, he's found nothing.

I'm thinking what we probably need is a little planning session between the group before putting a plan into motion. I'm open to doing that either through posts or RP.

Just let me know what the plan is and what you need/want me to do via PMs.

Also, IMO, each individual group needs a leader to communicate, coordinate, organize, and otherwise get things moving. As for myself, I don't think I have the time to devote to such a role right now, so if any of you are up to the task, feel free. :smile:

Just a heads up folks, you may wish to have a chat with Icer ASAP, because if I am reading things right over in the Crusada Cremesin thread, then Icer may have already neutralized Pestilence already.

Of course things are really confusing if you consider the fact that both Crusada and the meeting thread were supposed to have taken place, what, Febuary 7th?

Someone needs to step up and get with Brian, Icer, and Jenai to figure out what is going on ICly; because it's starting to look like everything is already past tense.

Katt Batten · Date: 2012-04-08 23:07 EST

Everything is past tense which does make things rather confusing. It may be that the plan taking place between the avengers was before they all knew what was going on with Pestilence?

I will alert Brian to this thread so he can get into assisting in the unraveling some of the confusion.

Ebon Ilnaren · Date: 2012-04-09 00:05 EST

Yeah, the meeting thread is set a day or two at most after Kain escaped (with his cell) from Batten Industries, and then proceeded to get stuck in Andu's hut... from which he later escaped again.

It's been very difficult NOT to incorporate knowledge of events since then into that thread. I do believe that the threads started by Sylus and Issy are set closer to the present, but perhaps the news of any neutralizing of Pestilence simply hasn't broken yet?

Issy · Date: 2012-04-09 00:08 EST

Yep, yep! Sylus and I are closer to the present. I know that Sylus and Issy's posting "Illumination" could be a bridge of sorts, if people are lost on the timeline. Until we figure where the whole Pestilence thread is on the timeline, that is.

Brian Ravenlock · Date: 2012-04-09 20:54 EST

Hola peeps!

Okay, I'll address each item and we can go from there, if that's okay.

"Torch, Rocketeer, Virus and Scarlet, you're going to be assigned the task of baiting and trapping Pestilence. Get her to the Glen and ground her if you can, then call in Ranger - we've got a little surprise that should be able to effectively neutralize her while keeping her alive."

I'm thinking what we probably need is a little planning session between the group before putting a plan into motion. I'm open to doing that either through posts or RP.

Just let me know what the plan is and what you need/want me to do via PMs.

Alright, currently Pestilence is at the Abbey battling Icer. She was in the city at one time, and has since move out of the city. However for any RP purposes, her brood is very unaccounted for. So the smaller dragons, which are getting bigger by the moment are very fair game. Pestilence will be returning to the city as well (very soon), but I do not want to tip that hand early.

So, catching up a bit, RL is kicking me in places it didn't ask permission....Lol, Very funny stuff. Secretary huh? Yeah, i don't see any of the women on this team being cool to just be like, "Ok boys, you be careful now ya hear? I'll have a fresh pot of coffee for ya when get back!" ...Yeah..no.

Time is a bit of an issue for me and will be for the next 4 weeks but I am open to either RPing on weekends or adding whatever she might find to a thread of said needed investigations. I'm game for any and all.

I am game to give you something to find if you want, and we can easily have it fit to whatever restrictions you may have time wise, just let me know ^ ^

Just a heads up folks, you may wish to have a chat with Icer ASAP, because if I am reading things right over in the Crusada Cremesin thread, then Icer may have already neutralized Pestilence already.

Pestilence has not been neutralized, and is still battling Icer. Her brood also is still on the loose, and open for anyone to use.

Yeah, the meeting thread is set a day or two at most after Kain escaped (with his cell) from Batten Industries, and then proceeded to get stuck in Andu's hut... from which he later escaped again.

It's been very difficult NOT to incorporate knowledge of events since then into that thread. I do believe that the threads started by Sylus and Issy are set closer to the present, but perhaps the news of any neutralizing of Pestilence simply hasn't broken yet?

That can easily be said in regards to the new not breaking yet, since the venture to the Abbey Avenger-wise had never arrived. Jenai's group had already arrived and engaged Raven's forces, as Race's group was still planning. As to Pesti herself, the new of her 'demise' could be held until someone makes certain it is legitimate. Other than that, we can chalk it up to rumor.

Yep, yep! Sylus and I are closer to the present. I know that Sylus and Issy's posting "Illumination" could be a bridge of sorts, if people are lost on the timeline. Until we figure where the whole Pestilence thread is on the timeline, that is.

I saw that post and loved it, and yes it can serve as a bridge if you will.

Time line wise...

Raven is still currently engaged with Jenai's forces at the Abbey. Pestilence, is there along with Icer, Shauri and her 'friends'.

That is why Raven has not acted in the city openly, save his people searching for the 'John Doe'.

So far 'John Doe' has encountered some Avengers, and other citizens, and there have been incidents.

I know it is confusing, but we had to wait for other players to post as well. We did wait for the Avenger group to arrive at the Abbey. We understand everyone is busy IRL and can relate as well, but in the end, I had to push the encounter ahead, and we are set to wrap it soon, and have Raven hit the city.

The plan to have a group hit him as he heads to or into the city with Jenai's group is still a go.

Also Ebon Knights, Pesti's Dragons, are fair game for anyone to use. And I can drum up something else, if anyone requires something additional.

Also, Kruger is currently under the JRC and has encountered an Ebon Warlock and more so a weapons cache, and the location where the Ebon Armor was created. That is also playing itself out, currently.

Also I am posting a thread as well for 'In between' posts that will be set in Chronological order and include live play, and forum posts as well. I will work with anyone else who wants to to do that as well.

Thanks again to everyone, and if there is anything anyone needs please feel free to AIM me @ RavenlockFFXI

This weekend might not be a good idea. Saturday, Riley's got her Hamani thing going down; no idea who all has plans to be playing at that. Sylus and Rhi are supposed to be in the Arena; he's in the Final Four for Madness. Sunday is the DoF tag team match, I'm pretty sure a few of us are involved in that.

Sunday would be the DoF Tag team, so that rules it out for a few players.

Hmmm, aside from the occasional Saturday, I'm typically 8-4:30 (Or a variation thereof) so I can be flexible.

I'm generally limited to 7-11 pm ET most evenings but Saturday, which I can't do at all. I can sometimes manage a Saturday or Sunday afternoon or a little later on Friday night.

We're probably not going to be able to find a day/time that fits everyone's schedule, so if you guys have to do it without me, I'm okay with that.

I know that more than a few of you have likely been wondering if things are going to move forward on the Avengers, and if you haven't been wondering if, you've surely been wondering when.

Get ready, folks. After Brian's post recently in our very own OOC thread, and after talking with him personally, you're going to be seeing a lot of heavy movement on threads, both existing and new, to kick this story into high gear.

I have also heard a rumor from a reliable source (who shall remain nameless) that our illustrious founder Wolvinator may be making a return in the foreseeable future, which I am very much looking forward to.

I would like to thank everyone for being so patient. I promise you, it will not go unrewarded!

Available times have been noted, and we will work hard to ensure everyone can have a hand in this, and not some weak ass hand, but a strong pimp like hand.. So gear up.

Sundays should be able to work for me and the crew. This coming Sunday, or the following?

Wanda · Date: 2012-04-13 16:41 EST

Okay, Availability changed slightly.

This would be one of the weeks where I have a weird schedule...

I'll be home this Tuesday by 9pm and Weds by 6pm

Edward Batten · Date: 2012-04-13 18:06 EST

Ah yes, availability.

I am available pretty much anytime after 5:30 PM EST/EDT, except for Mondays and Wednesdays, when I'm able to be on all day long.

That goes for any of my characters, and I can occasionally be conned into playing more than one at once, if the situation calls for it (which I am sure it will at some point).

Getting this out there. The popular vote, 4 to 9, states that the Traveler will not be involved in the battle this time around. Batten, I'm following your lead on this. What do you want us to do?

The Rocketeer · Date: 2012-04-24 07:02 EST

I think I speak for everyone here when I say omfgexcitedcantwait

Also, I'm available to do a scene most Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, Friday during the day, and I can make it work during the day on the weekend or Sunday nights with advance notice.
