Dang!However would something like this worked......Could we have set off the sprinkler system as a cover to reduce their range of visibilty. Our way of playing deep shadow...........don't suppose theres any room for guest stars?

alright, since we have a vote and I like all your characters and you all seem enthusiasitc, it looks like we have a 7 man team. The odds are someone will get busy or not like it and drop out anyway (sorry, but it happens) 7 is still manageable. I'm just going to have to up the opposition a little

So your team now is:
-Phantom (*34*)
-Johnny Marvel (Juggernut)
-Daybreak (Melkhor)
-Conglomerate (RobotCowboy)
-Sleeper (Jean_genie)
-Prodigy (HCannonfodder)
-Revenent (petenliz9)

I would suggest saving each others dials to some kind of database, even an excel worksheet and familiarize yourself with the whole team to better come up with strategies.

Time for you guys to start hypothesizing names for your unit. I would suggest you each submit 1 choice and then vote on them with no one allowed to vote for their own choice. All votes should be PMed to me, so no one feels bad if their team name got no votes. Once tallied I will reveal your name in the official posting of your first mission.

I'm also going to make a new thread in this forum for you to strategize about the specific mission. Please refrain from using that thread for anything other than strategizing as I don't want it clogged up with jibba jabba.

If I happen to see that anyone isn;t working well with the team, or is continously needing someone to play their character I reserve the right to remove you from the RPG.

So get naming, once I have everyone's votes, ITS GAME TIME!

There are some things that I would love to include in this to make things more realistic that are basically too hard to figure out a appropriate response, as well as saying some things in the initial write up might totally give away what I want you to do. Any questions like this that come up when discussing strategie I will answer appropriately, but if they are not asked then all the rules are assumed to be normal.

For instance, good job figuring out that stealth is key if you want whats in those boxes. There is no hindering to hide in. But since stealthers are just naturally better at hiding, instead of seeing anyone within 10 range, stealthed characters cannot be seen unless they are within 6 of the squares of the opponent. Also if an opponent moves adjacent to a stealthed it does not have line of site too, the stealther character can make an immediate attack of opportunity on the security guard that does not count as an action.

There is no rule for making a distracting noise sorry you'll have to find some other way of keeping guards busy while the boxes are searched.

I am going to be alot more helpful in this first scenario than I will be in the future as you guys should pick up on things faster as it goes along. As such I will give you this hint as well. Mercy and Hope will not move, the other guards are sentries. Sentries move. If you grasp the rules of Line of Fire well you should know what I am suggesting you do for that pesky sentry patrolling the boxes.

Sorry, no sprinklers or lights to knock out.

Petenliz9 PMed: Objects how will they be handled?This is a brand new world to us what kind of information do we have on it? Did we all work together as a team before this?

1. Someone asked the objects question earlier. If you missed it, if I did not list any objects on the map then there are none, at least for the time being.

2. Information on the world will be secondary as in the real world you all know the deal with Superman so I don't think I really need to go through it all with your characters as the unnamed one. In the initial write up for each mission I will give a little bit of history, as I did in this one, but I will not go in depth as for the most part there won't be much time to do so. Your team won't need a history leason while Superman is missing, they simply know the job needs to get done.

3. Yes, on your original world you were a team. How you formed, why, for how long, etc. are all up to you guys, but please don't just come up with it on your own and post, figure it out as a group. Your individual characters origins are great and yours, but there is a big difference in the origin of Superman, and the original of the Justice League. The roleplaying aspect of this is entirely in you guys hands. You can post as little or as much character development as you want, my job will be to submit the scenarios and judge experience. How you roleplay could also work for experience. If I feel you are going against something you set up as a character or you do something without asking the team or detrimental to the team I can even take experience away. Thats how serious I am about you guys working together not posting as individuals.

Well, I'll open the ball with my humble suggestion for a name then: "The Vanguard"

A nice, traditional "heroic sounding" name that takes on additional meaning in our new role as dimmension-hopping trouble-shooters

How about "The Expatriates" it would fit the dimension hopping theme, and we could always drop the 'E' and hire Wolverine to boost popularity

I'm going to start acting in character right now, and tell you that you're putting the horse before the carriage. "You idiots are all sitting here trying to figure out what the call yourself, and there's work to be done." That said, Sleeper leaves HQ. If you're lucky, you might be able to catch up with him before he reaches the objective site. "I'll tell you what I think later - assuming we don't botch this and we actually want people to know who we are."

I'll actually suggest a name in a bit .... I just don't have any good ideas right now As far as the team thing goes, I'm thinking it might be best either for me to be a paid member (the vigilante equivalent of an odd job?), or maybe we got transported right after some sort of team-up?

Yay! I am in! Phantom will not let anyone down. God, I am so un-creative with names, so I guess I will see what some of the other ones are so I can get some ideas! Thanks again to the people that voted me in.

An idea might be to type in bold in when in character for ease of redaing....another fun to visulize the game may be to pick a clix and say that best repsents my guy(or gal)....

Revenant would currently look like Comish Gordon but with the head of Black Mask.

I think it's cool we got all seven. I forgot about Phantom, that would have made my votes tougher.

Team names, hmmmm. I like the last two suggestions, Vanguard is strong and traditional, X-patriates makes sense (and the Wolverine joke is freakin' hilarious), but I probably have to suggest one too. It took me a bit, but how about an acronym, like W.A.R.D. maybe. I'm not sure what it would stand for, but I assume I could come up with something.

Good luck to you guys, i'll keep on reading your adventures!

And please, beat the #### out of Luthor for me too!

Hail2U!

W.A.R.D. = Wandering Adventurers Refusing Defeat!!

Or the Vanguard works, too!

Awesome about all seven - as far as dials, how did some of you get the image/text with the colors & KO slots? I think it might be a good idea if we all repost so they look consistent (because my dial looks HORRIBLE!)

My vote's for the Vanguard as well (only problem is putting the a and the u in the right place for guard.)

I'll recompile all of our stats in one place (I know, I'm crazy that way.)

I plan on breaking digits until he wets himself, so that works well.
