Bummer about the computer delays, but glad you're okay. ;)

We're patient types or we'd not still be sniffing around V&V games on here.

But maybe you should pop an ad in the Players Wanted?  Or remind folks on the V&V Heroes Unite?  Sometimes attention spans, they can be short... or things get missed...

Only 4?  I'm quite surprised.

I posted was looking for players in "Heroes Unite" & got 2 players between midnight and 2am!  I cut it off after that.

Maybe just post that you're looking for a few more players?

Errrr.... when your computer works?

I refuse to let the OOC thread languish for a full seven days.
Besides, I haven't yet expressed my greetings to those of you that would be acquaintances in the future.

Hi all!

Hello 'Nyx and 'Mare!

Seems like we are all def ready for an 'in character' thread, even if we are not ready to play?

At least, Osc is.
:)

OK I have more stuff listed in the Setting Information thread, giving everyone at least a little more of an idea of what is going on in the US at this time. I am still waiting for one player to finish up but hope to be getting something going towards the end of the week.

Great, thanks Swordy.   I am looking forward to this kicking off.

I have to admit I struggled a bit coming up with a good government agency name. I didn't want to use ones I have seen already (SHIELD, CHESS, etc) and I wanted it to be a cool word as well.

(BTW, the name I came up with for the game has a double meaning but I am sure everyone figured that one out a while back) :)

Plasma screen TV? Milli Vanilli? You do remember this is 1963 right? LOL (That being said there is MUCH better stuff in the HQ than even most rich people can get their hands on.

Heh.  Yeah, right.  I better go change that.

Time Travel: Poco's other power...

Yes, you're too fast for me. But I did make an appearance, and that's more than can usually be said for one of my scatterbrained nature.

Had too much time to think about it and went for a different concept.  Same powers though, same speedster... different attitude. :)

How are we faring, Lord Damocles? Any chance of some non-pingpong excitement in the near future?

I haven't heard back from Cold War since the beginning of the week so I will be looking to get something moving very soon. Definitely finding the group interaction in the HQ thread interesting. :)

I have to say, the IC "meet" thread makes it a lot easier for a GM as far as "making the group meld."

Kinda a cool idea (I might borrow as I bring a bunch of divergent threads together in another game of mine.

* Good news -- my g/f and I posted the ultrasound pic of our future child on Facebook -- it's official!  7 month countdown ...
:D

Congatz!!!!

I remember that feeling ... just about a year ago now, actually.

Congratulations, my friend.

Congrats! Welcome to the party!
Oh, and don't give 'em any peanut butter till they're older.
Believe it or not, that's the one thing I wish someone had told me.

Congratulations!!

You're in for the ride of your life.  It's all worth it. :)

Congrats to you as well, Oscillator! And as Vosper said, you are DEFINITELY in for the ride of your life.

In other news I apologize for the significant delays, but I am going to get things rolling now (finally!). I haven't heard anything from Cold War in over a week so if he is still playing he may have to drop in later. But for now, let us all sally forth! :)

Too bad -- 'Cold War' is a great hero name!   :)

Also, complements to everyone that's been posting!  Quite a high level of 'in-character' play going on here.

Psyched to see how the actual game plays out!

I should be getting a bit of info/dialogue posted tonite or tomorrow. Between the Easter weekend and work being busy I have been a touch tired and unmotivated. Working on the next step...

In-character Oscillator is supposed to be super smart, but OOC I'm just a regular joe like y'all (or regular janes, too).

So I missed something & hope someone might recap -- WHAT is the mission?
Go & rescue scientists from somewhere and get out?  How do we get them out?

Any ideas?

Oscillator could fly ~ 1 person at a time, but that'd take forever.  Not sure how fast our speedster could deliver people, but carrying capacity tends to limit that...?

Anyway, I am somewhat stumped on the mission parameters IRL -- but I imagine we're about to face a superteam or possibly an evil genius type.  Or perhaps a massive heard of normal soldier baddies that we can stomp before we take on the super baddies?
