City of Villains Grandeville Protest?
« on: September 17, 2012, 05:27:56 PM »
I've noticed that most of the protests have been set in prominent areas of Paragon, but none appear to be set in the Rogue Isles.I fear this may send the wrong message to NC Soft, that CoH should be saved, but CoV is expendable. Would there be any opposition to a Red Side Protest in Grandeville on Thursday, Sept. 20th, around 10pm EST? We could gather for a group shot on Recluse's statue.

Now that all ATs are avalable on both sides, aren't they? :)
I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

A red-side rally certainly can't hurt.  There are plenty of players with characters that are pure Villain and unable to cross over to Atlas Park for one reason or another.

I would suggest moving this to Friday, the 21st so as to not conflict with the Positon's Ally event. Some of us run on both sides and wouldn't want to miss both -- plus, people may roll up characters or go Vigilante to attend. I know I'm in that camp. ;)

If you're going to choose Grandville as the location, it may also be a good idea to get some 50s to organize teams for lower level characters to attend safely.

Yes and yes. And I'm thinking Virtue, mostly cause I got all my eggs in there.

I can't think of anyplace in Grandville where I'd want to hold a rally/vigil where level matters, unless you want to buy enhancements.

I strongly advise a rally that encompasses both red side and also Praetoria.

Maybe it needs to be a walkabout - the places we don't often get to go but are still important in the overall scheme of things. We need to focus on the entire game I believe - to show it has not simply value but huge scope.

*dons the black robe*

We are villains, but we do not want the world to end. We want to rule, to have freedom to explore our passions, pursue our goals. We understand finance better than those oft-foolish heroes, but we should not shun their impulse to "do good" when it serves our ends. Let us unite and show those heroes that we, too, are dedicated to saving this world! When we're done, we can argue over who owns it again.

Heh, not so weird for Villains to work towards saving the world. Dr. Doom allied with the heroes all the time when it was for a mutual cause. What good is ruling the world if it isn't there?

Did anyone have a day/time in mind?  I think the only suggestions I saw were Sep. 20 or 21 - both of which are a few days in the past.

I gather we need something huge as the big one for the heroes... but villain side...

Encouraging people to make a villain even if for temp reasons. Gathering in Grandville square would be best in comparison.

How much time do we need to arrange this? I dont want to wait to long as more and more leave. Or I would say week of Halloween.

But otherwise next week... Same day and time as the first one.

Has anyone considered Cap as a suitable meeting place? the Globe there gives a direct comparison to Atlas and has space for pictures. Also drones keep the place safe for lowbies.

Not Grandville..most normal systems can't even handle that place!  Someplace else iconic.  CAP!  Cap Au Diable is pretty hopping...Recluse statue at Mercy... the Pyramid in St. Martial..but yeah not Grandville..err lagville...

The Rogue Isles have always been troubled by the lack of a good rallying point. I'd vote for the globe at Cap au Diable, myself.

So, it sounds like we're coming to a consensus on the following:
* Day: (a) Saturday
* Location:  Aeon City in Cap au Diable

I think we still need a time and a confirmation of server(s).  Keep in mind on the time that UK players are currently 5 hours ahead of EDT (which would make them 8 ahead of PDT) and any German players that might want to take part would be 6 hours ahead of EDT.  If we could find a time that can accommodate both sides of the pond, so much the better.

I vote for Guardian or Infinity but that has to do with who I have waiting to join the rally on those servers.  If I have to create a villain on another server so be it.

Well, I'd really like to do this on Virtue, because my oldest surviving villain is still there. Grimrose, the Praetorian counterpart of my oldest surviving hero. There's a lot of strong resonance there. Also...I lost my VIP, and can't roll new toons on any other server. :(

I guess I'm "lucky" in having rejoined the ranks of the VIP only a few months prior to the announcement from hell...there are just so many toons I have never finished...so many things I have done. So many friends from before the days of global names and my hiatus...that I have no idea how to find :(

OK, I guess it doesn't much matter which weekend is selected.

Atlas march, Sep 29, 7 pm EDT
http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,5294.0.html

Steel Canyon border run, Oct 6, 8 pm EDT
http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,5159.0.html

Going earlier in the day would allow people to participate in multiple events on the same day, though.  Nothing wrong with that.
