[Supergroup]Lord Paragon: First order of buisness
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Our membership has dwindled down to our strong corse
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon:*core
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: yet we are very much alive
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: the problem is we should start heading back up to something more
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: So we need to discuss things to do to get our name out again
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Also I think we need to let some of old rules pass for a bit
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: the main one being no alts in the group
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Agreed - unless we need the slots, I see no problem with that
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Using low alts to group and spread the CoP name is always helpful. Good source of prestige also
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Felis Mortis and Madame are also not able to be in the group for sometime but I'd like to keep them attached
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: We need to go through our list and clean it up
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: But at the moment let's talk of events
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Or rather let me hand it over to Ultimo
Local]South Side Butcher: Sorry I'm late
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Since this is his last day for a good number of days
[Local]Praetor Anubis: Not a problem http://s2.images.proboards.com/smiley.gif
[Local]Lord Paragon: No prob http://s2.images.proboards.com/smiley.gif
[Local]Ultimo X: Glad to have you at all:)
[Local]South Side Butcher: Under the weather so I'm kinda just here in spirit
[Local]Abyst: Glad I could make it this time... http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: What did i do this time?:)
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Ok, first up, the RP thread
[Local]Lord Rightious: You are looking a little green sir
Lord Paragon is hungover
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Did any of you had the chance to check out the rules for it that i posted
[Local]Lord Rightious: (sorry couldn't help it lol)
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: I did yes
[SuperGroup]Abyst: I did, though I do not understand some of the references
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Exactly where i was going, neither do i:)
SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: (So I go whereever I'm told to right?)
Lord Paragon whistles innocently....
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Heheheh
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Well, at least we'll all be confused together
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: It's open for interpretetion
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: K it's like this in how I see it
SuperGroup]Ultimo X: not like that Abyst:)
Lord Rightious is just here for the free food ;-)
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Well, I'm written as being neutral
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I like seeing power struggles in groups
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Like drama, but fun and good http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Especially fake drama
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: So let's say that the group was run in a democratic spirit in some manner
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: there would always be a major qualm in the direction of the group
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: happens in all societies
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Hell I think Praetor Poison and Swindle can remember Rage Incarnate
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Yup, yup
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Fun times
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Well anyways what I thought is trying to make an RP system out of this.
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: For instance a lot of us in this group just want to do what our chars want
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I will follow whoever
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Like Lord R said *was preceding the first comment*
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: So I mean our group goes forward by whoever is using the power in the group
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Like if Swindle wanted something else than what I'd want we'd sorta duke it out
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: and in essence create a group mentality of all this
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Am I making any sense at all I feel like nuts
[SuperGroup]Abyst: I suppose the trick would be coming up with divergent goals on occasion
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Let's all put on our hats a sec
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: I understand the jist of the idea
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: How can we structure our group RP wise
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I can't be dictator
[SuperGroup]Abyst: You man, along the Faction concept?
[SuperGroup]Abyst: er, *mean*
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Let's throwaway factions
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: if you want to create a faction be my guest
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: After the first thread ends that is
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Yes
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Perfect
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Well, I assume we're Lords of something, and I'd assume we have our own power-bases
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I hadn't thought of it like that
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Not that non-Lords couldn't have their own "underground" groups or something
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Right
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Just for RP purposes, if nothing else
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: How about Lordship being a challenging right for power?
[SuperGroup]Abyst: For example, Abyst would still have the Seekers of Oblivion doing stuff for him
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Hence why I don't like putting men on top and saying you command this
[SuperGroup]Abyst: More like side work
[SuperGroup]Abyst: What do you mean, Ultimo?
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: elaborate
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: We have the right to fight LP for group control, if we choose so
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Wouldn't that leave just one Lord?
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Then it would make sense for him to put his lackeys in power
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Not all of us choose to fight him, some out of power, others of support
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: *listens*
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: *trying to make example out of this*
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: It's an idea. For instance, my character would try and manipulate another lord to fight him
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: So let's say that the seven Lords are the cream
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Since he too has the right. Think of it as a right to "throw down the gauntlet"
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: that's pretty
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: and it fits in with my parliament idea
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Look at the list of Lords we now have. LP has the majority of supporters
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: For example
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: 4/7, with Poison being neutral
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: if I'm a nuts though, you guys rally to a different lord
[SuperGroup]Abyst: hehehe
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Still has politics for "fun"
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Then the challengers would have to have a "leader" of their own
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Exactly
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Abyst can promise everyone some power of some form
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: while Swindle will probably not want everyone to be constricted in what she can do
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Ack
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I like it
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X:We can make it the new group setup when the first thread will end
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Ok so alts are now accepted into the SG
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Oh and recruiting
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: As you may know
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: From now on recruits have the lowest status until we decide to promote them
[SuperGroup]Aranea: hey gang!
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Hail
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Better late then never:)
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Aye use the main forums
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Understood
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: Greetings
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Me and Abyst are there usually
[SuperGroup]Aranea: (heh lorock made me go oreder his lunch first..)
[Local]Lord Paragon: Lorock=Aranea's Dominatrix
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Yes we need an update
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Also we need to art hound
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Our site is in working conditions but it's not pretty
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: What ever happened to Grae's group picture art idea?
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: I was just about to ask that
[SuperGroup]Abyst: I think it's stuck on the old forums http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: And Bosch/Inertial is really tough at work
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: It was a great idea
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: What happened is that A) a lot of members are out
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: *starts tiptoing away at the mention of art hounding*)
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: hehe
[SuperGroup]Abyst: I meant to ask about Bosch - where does he stand?
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: B) it would be expensive
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Bosch is dead
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: A beautiful costume, but @Inertial hates brutes
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Hehehehe
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Ah
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Bad time to figure that out
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Ouch
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I let his old char
[SuperGroup]Aranea: a shame really
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Revisionist take his place
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Oh and I need a campaign to get more people on our site
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: *coughs at the Man and South Side*
[SuperGroup]Man: Free beer
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Heh - note that some people just hate forums, and won't visit them
[SuperGroup]Abyst: That's something I've learned in my 2+ years in the Seekers
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: We already have free nude women, just register and become a member and you'll see ....
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: It's true
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: *makes magazine cover for Evil Times. Headline Lord Paragon demands your obediance)
[SuperGroup]Abyst: It's like pulling teeth to drag some people there
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Yeah. Plus we are in this nasty transition
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: But we can't just die
[SuperGroup]Man: I haven't been in CoH too much recently, new computer been setting up things a lot
[SuperGroup]Man: And I need to finish my guide
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Like our applicants went to the nights
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: *Rogue Knights
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: They were a less active group than us
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: *shakes fist*
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: *whistles innocently*
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Yes, it really takes everyone's contributions to make a group attractive
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I mean we need to keep those that appl attached
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Yea
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: *aply
[SuperGroup]Abyst: I tend to play late, so I can't always find/meet new or even existing members
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: True enough which brings me to a second deal
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: If somebody who doesn't pwnz00r talk
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: is in your team without an SG label
[SuperGroup]Abyst: (( HAHAH ))
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Ask them their group status and be a COP sleeper
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Hehehe with tact!
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Exactly!
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: As always...
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Remember, no one likes pushy SG recruiters
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Does everyone have invite privileges?
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: *puts away the rope, chains, and handcuffs*
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: True but at least leave the site and gfriend
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Everyone does
[SuperGroup]Aranea: who volunteers to stand outside sharkhead spaming Sg invites
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: But remember to push them to register and show their face
Aranea : P
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Hehe
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: That sounds amazing
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Yes, forums are important
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I do it in Port Oakes all the time... klass... total klass
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Any timetable for how long we'll be using the current forums?
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: *brings out the cattle prod. bzzt!*
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: But for that, we need a permanant home
[SuperGroup]Abyst: That's a chunky website to send someone to
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Bosch said two week I'm thinking 3
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: It is
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Alright, good - at least we have a timetable
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: and I'm scared of Bosch
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Why is that
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: So me and Swindle began talking of alternates
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: He gets busy and tired
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: and hates HTML
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: hehe
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: (I have to find of where that restaurant is)
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Hehehehe but keeps getting stuck doing it?
SuperGroup]Ultimo X: And he is prone to monolouging. Just putting it out there...
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I don't know how to HTML
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: or anything really
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Grae wanted us to move to Guild Portal
[SuperGroup]Aranea: (we noticed)
[SuperGroup]Aranea: heh
[SuperGroup]Abyst: HAHAH
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: but we would have to pay
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I hate you all.
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Hrm
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Im about as code literate as a retarded slamon
[SuperGroup]Abyst: A slamon, you say?
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: salmon*
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: (I kind of do know a little html but prefer using MS to program it. And we would have to pay for Guildportal)
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Aye which kinda turns me off
[SuperGroup]Man: I could probably make something that resembles a site, but nothing good
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: PK has a beautiful site
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: I thought there was a premium and free guild portal
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: (If we use the free portion of guildportal there can only be ten posts per thread)
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Oh lame
SuperGroup]Abyst: http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Free guildportal is the worse
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Wow, didn't know that
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: we have a spot on there
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Nevermind that then
[SuperGroup]Abyst: How much does it cost?
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: (I found out the hard way then had to pay out $60 for the midnight society)
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I think every couple months i try and find a new site
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: 60?
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: grae told me 30
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: (For 6 months its $30)
[SuperGroup]Aranea: swapping sites seems like bad mojo
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Ahh right right
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Yeah it is
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: It confuses ppl
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: Here is my thought
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Yeah
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Especially lazy ppl
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: we keep the new forums
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: Freewebs.com has great free site making templates and we can put just about anything on it. So we could connect the two
[SuperGroup]Aranea: lets keep it and edit the poo outa it over time
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Fine
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Good idea
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I just don't know where you can edit
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Yeah, you might not be able to edit the poo out
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I mean I'm an admin and I see no way of modelling the site
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Might be built in poo
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: it is I think
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I can change the colors
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: As some may have seen
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: >q
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Any ideas?
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I mean we could always wait for Bosch...
[SuperGroup]Aranea: umm what do the Defneders use? is that site not free?
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: No ideas I'd have to take a look at the forum editor
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Like Rightious said, freewebs sounds good
[SuperGroup]Aranea: big b will be ify with a new job.
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: See the problem is not only making the site it's finding a server
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Big B is iffy without the site
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: He liked the idea of Ouroboros
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Which reminds me
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: Go take a look at Freewebs.com they are reasonable
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Ouroboros is the snake that eats it's own tail
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: found in multiple cultures
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Aye
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: I'll look at it also, i need something to do:) and i found a good ouroboros icon
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: Yep. My brother has him tattooed around a yin/yan symbol on his shoulder
[SuperGroup]Abyst: I'm curious how you're going to play it, but I guess we'll find that ou tin the story
[SuperGroup]Abyst: *out in*
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Oh it's pretty
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Any other things hmm...
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Alright, recruit more actively
[SuperGroup]Man: Is that cavern trial on the horizon?
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Oh if I can ever get some volunteers
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Begin work on the story
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Forums... uh... still working on that one
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Cavern Trial?
[SuperGroup]Abyst: You mean hero-side?
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: The Story is already running Ultimo has his first draft ready to go
[SuperGroup]Man: the other one, item of power...
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: Need to get Celestian up a few levels on hero side
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Ahh no no
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Oh
[SuperGroup]Man: cathedral of pain is it?
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Cathedral
[SuperGroup]Abyst: The CoP Trial... it calls to us!
[SuperGroup]Man: I guess we shouldn't get our hopes up, it's been almost here for a long time
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Ouroboros is something else and Cathedral is when we're back up to have twenty come to our meetings
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: for all levels or just high level?
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Not sure
[SuperGroup]Abyst: It's not active yet, anyhow
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: All levels but it's really one level
[SuperGroup]Aranea: ok so whats with all the inactivity im looking at now? and who are these people anyway lol
[SuperGroup]Abyst: LRSF is another option
[SuperGroup]Aranea: heh lets boot em all and reinvite as needed
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Inactivity is non exsistant
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: the problem is different times
[SuperGroup]Aranea: use it as a booster shoot!
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Keep Madame and Fellis
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Over half the roster is within 2 weeks, which I view as a good sign
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: They've been here since the dawn of time
[SuperGroup]Abyst: We just need to get out and recruit a little more actively
[SuperGroup]Aranea: feels like we're boged down by all these large numbers of people ive never met
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Hey, we've never met
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: The problem is our playtime
[SuperGroup]Abyst: I'm not bogging us down
[SuperGroup]Abyst: http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif
[SuperGroup]Aranea: eh true
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Yeah, I usually play at 1-4am CST
[SuperGroup]Abyst: I normally wouldn't be on right now
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Our membership has dwindled down to our strong corse
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon:*core
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: yet we are very much alive
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: the problem is we should start heading back up to something more
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: So we need to discuss things to do to get our name out again
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Also I think we need to let some of old rules pass for a bit
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: the main one being no alts in the group
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Agreed - unless we need the slots, I see no problem with that
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Using low alts to group and spread the CoP name is always helpful. Good source of prestige also
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Felis Mortis and Madame are also not able to be in the group for sometime but I'd like to keep them attached
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: We need to go through our list and clean it up
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: But at the moment let's talk of events
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Or rather let me hand it over to Ultimo
Local]South Side Butcher: Sorry I'm late
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Since this is his last day for a good number of days
[Local]Praetor Anubis: Not a problem http://s2.images.proboards.com/smiley.gif
[Local]Lord Paragon: No prob http://s2.images.proboards.com/smiley.gif
[Local]Ultimo X: Glad to have you at all:)
[Local]South Side Butcher: Under the weather so I'm kinda just here in spirit
[Local]Abyst: Glad I could make it this time... http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: What did i do this time?:)
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Ok, first up, the RP thread
[Local]Lord Rightious: You are looking a little green sir
Lord Paragon is hungover
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Did any of you had the chance to check out the rules for it that i posted
[Local]Lord Rightious: (sorry couldn't help it lol)
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: I did yes
[SuperGroup]Abyst: I did, though I do not understand some of the references
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Exactly where i was going, neither do i:)
SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: (So I go whereever I'm told to right?)
Lord Paragon whistles innocently....
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Heheheh
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Well, at least we'll all be confused together
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: It's open for interpretetion
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: K it's like this in how I see it
SuperGroup]Ultimo X: not like that Abyst:)
Lord Rightious is just here for the free food ;-)
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Well, I'm written as being neutral

[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: We already have free nude women, just register and become a member and you'll see ....
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: It's true
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: *makes magazine cover for Evil Times. Headline Lord Paragon demands your obediance)
[SuperGroup]Abyst: It's like pulling teeth to drag some people there
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Yeah. Plus we are in this nasty transition
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: But we can't just die
[SuperGroup]Man: I haven't been in CoH too much recently, new computer been setting up things a lot
[SuperGroup]Man: And I need to finish my guide
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Like our applicants went to the nights
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: *Rogue Knights
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: They were a less active group than us
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: *shakes fist*
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: *whistles innocently*
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Yes, it really takes everyone's contributions to make a group attractive
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I mean we need to keep those that appl attached
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Yea
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: *aply
[SuperGroup]Abyst: I tend to play late, so I can't always find/meet new or even existing members
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: True enough which brings me to a second deal
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: If somebody who doesn't pwnz00r talk
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: is in your team without an SG label
[SuperGroup]Abyst: (( HAHAH ))
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Ask them their group status and be a COP sleeper
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Hehehe with tact!
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Exactly!
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: As always...
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Remember, no one likes pushy SG recruiters
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Does everyone have invite privileges?
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: *puts away the rope, chains, and handcuffs*
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: True but at least leave the site and gfriend
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Everyone does
[SuperGroup]Aranea: who volunteers to stand outside sharkhead spaming Sg invites
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: But remember to push them to register and show their face
Aranea : P
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Hehe
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: That sounds amazing
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Yes, forums are important
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I do it in Port Oakes all the time... klass... total klass
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Any timetable for how long we'll be using the current forums?
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: *brings out the cattle prod. bzzt!*
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: But for that, we need a permanant home
[SuperGroup]Abyst: That's a chunky website to send someone to
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Bosch said two week I'm thinking 3
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: It is
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Alright, good - at least we have a timetable
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: and I'm scared of Bosch
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Why is that
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: So me and Swindle began talking of alternates
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: He gets busy and tired
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: and hates HTML
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: hehe
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: (I have to find of where that restaurant is)
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Hehehehe but keeps getting stuck doing it?
SuperGroup]Ultimo X: And he is prone to monolouging. Just putting it out there...
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I don't know how to HTML
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: or anything really
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Grae wanted us to move to Guild Portal
[SuperGroup]Aranea: (we noticed)
[SuperGroup]Aranea: heh
[SuperGroup]Abyst: HAHAH
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: but we would have to pay
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I hate you all.
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Hrm
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Im about as code literate as a retarded slamon
[SuperGroup]Abyst: A slamon, you say?
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: salmon*
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: (I kind of do know a little html but prefer using MS to program it. And we would have to pay for Guildportal)
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Aye which kinda turns me off
[SuperGroup]Man: I could probably make something that resembles a site, but nothing good
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: PK has a beautiful site
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: I thought there was a premium and free guild portal
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: (If we use the free portion of guildportal there can only be ten posts per thread)
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Oh lame
SuperGroup]Abyst: http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Free guildportal is the worse
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Wow, didn't know that
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: we have a spot on there
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Nevermind that then
[SuperGroup]Abyst: How much does it cost?
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: (I found out the hard way then had to pay out $60 for the midnight society)
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I think every couple months i try and find a new site
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: 60?
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: grae told me 30
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: (For 6 months its $30)
[SuperGroup]Aranea: swapping sites seems like bad mojo
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Ahh right right
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Yeah it is
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: It confuses ppl
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: Here is my thought
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Yeah
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Especially lazy ppl
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: we keep the new forums
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: Freewebs.com has great free site making templates and we can put just about anything on it. So we could connect the two
[SuperGroup]Aranea: lets keep it and edit the poo outa it over time
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Fine
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Good idea
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I just don't know where you can edit
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Yeah, you might not be able to edit the poo out
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I mean I'm an admin and I see no way of modelling the site
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Might be built in poo
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: it is I think
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I can change the colors
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: As some may have seen
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: >q
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Any ideas?
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: I mean we could always wait for Bosch...
[SuperGroup]Aranea: umm what do the Defneders use? is that site not free?
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: No ideas I'd have to take a look at the forum editor
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: Like Rightious said, freewebs sounds good
[SuperGroup]Aranea: big b will be ify with a new job.
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: See the problem is not only making the site it's finding a server
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Big B is iffy without the site
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: He liked the idea of Ouroboros
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Which reminds me
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: Go take a look at Freewebs.com they are reasonable
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Ouroboros is the snake that eats it's own tail
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: found in multiple cultures
[SuperGroup]Praetor Anubis: Aye
[SuperGroup]Ultimo X: I'll look at it also, i need something to do:) and i found a good ouroboros icon
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: Yep. My brother has him tattooed around a yin/yan symbol on his shoulder
[SuperGroup]Abyst: I'm curious how you're going to play it, but I guess we'll find that ou tin the story
[SuperGroup]Abyst: *out in*
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Oh it's pretty
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Any other things hmm...
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Alright, recruit more actively
[SuperGroup]Man: Is that cavern trial on the horizon?
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Oh if I can ever get some volunteers
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Begin work on the story
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Forums... uh... still working on that one
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Cavern Trial?
[SuperGroup]Abyst: You mean hero-side?
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: The Story is already running Ultimo has his first draft ready to go
[SuperGroup]Man: the other one, item of power...
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: Need to get Celestian up a few levels on hero side
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Ahh no no
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Oh
[SuperGroup]Man: cathedral of pain is it?
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Cathedral
[SuperGroup]Abyst: The CoP Trial... it calls to us!
[SuperGroup]Man: I guess we shouldn't get our hopes up, it's been almost here for a long time
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Ouroboros is something else and Cathedral is when we're back up to have twenty come to our meetings
[SuperGroup]Lord Rightious: for all levels or just high level?
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Not sure
[SuperGroup]Abyst: It's not active yet, anyhow
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: All levels but it's really one level
[SuperGroup]Aranea: ok so whats with all the inactivity im looking at now? and who are these people anyway lol
[SuperGroup]Abyst: LRSF is another option
[SuperGroup]Aranea: heh lets boot em all and reinvite as needed
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Inactivity is non exsistant
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: the problem is different times
[SuperGroup]Aranea: use it as a booster shoot!
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: Keep Madame and Fellis
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Over half the roster is within 2 weeks, which I view as a good sign
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: They've been here since the dawn of time
[SuperGroup]Abyst: We just need to get out and recruit a little more actively
[SuperGroup]Aranea: feels like we're boged down by all these large numbers of people ive never met
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Hey, we've never met
[SuperGroup]Lord Paragon: The problem is our playtime
[SuperGroup]Abyst: I'm not bogging us down
[SuperGroup]Abyst: http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif
[SuperGroup]Aranea: eh true
[SuperGroup]Abyst: Yeah, I usually play at 1-4am CST
[SuperGroup]Abyst: I normally wouldn't be on right now
