The Widowed

I'm back, for the moment. I just thought I'd toss this idea in your laps and see what we make of it. :think:
I've been wanting to take Bloodywedd and Friends through the merry sleighride that is the Lord Recluse Strike Force. And I finally got stirred into action after Slaphappy asked Bloodywedd to give him access to the Inspiration storage. Somehow, droogies of Scoundrel or Hardcase rank couldn't access the storage, and Slaphappy needed more Inspirations for the respec trial he was on. So I solved the problem and gave everyone of all ranks access to the storages.
So then I reasoned, "You know, respec trials are similar to strike forces: Once you're on one, you can't buy more Inspirations from your Contacts. You can get them from other people (like the one time (and, in light of recent events, the only time) that I did Darknesse the thankless and blindly charitable favor of letting him buy Inspirations from Kuhr'Rekt with Bloodywedd as the go-between) but you can also grab them out of storages, apparently. Why didn't I think of that before?"
Well, now I have.

I've temporarily added a Tech Inspiration storage along with our base's usual Arcane Inspiration storage. The Arcane storage will hold the "medium" and "large" Inspirations as well as other special Inspirations like the Christmas presents; Don't use the presents lightly, as their effects are unpredictable, they're pretty rare and we'll probably have to wait until next Christmas to get more of them.
The Tech storage will be used to hold the "small" Inspirations that you can buy from any Contact. Let's do our best to fill this storage before the time for the Strike Force comes. In my humble opinion, we should focus more on stockpiling the "life-preserving" Inspirations such as Respite and Break Free while focusing less on the dime-a-dozen Enrages and Insights which every other mob seems to be lugging around. Sure, Catch a Breath is a common drop too, but it's amazing how quickly you can burn through a whole tray of them when you're on a screaming, frothing rampage....
My suggestions (for stockpiling a total of 100 Inspirations in the Tech storage):
20 Catch a Breath
5 Enrage
5 Insight
5 Sturdy
15 Luck
15 Break Free
25 Respite
10 Awaken
Counter-suggestions are welcome, of course; Please remember to explain your reasoning. Any extra "small" Inspirations beyond the 100 limit can be placed in the Arcane storage if it has any space left. I have no suggestions for filling the Arcane storage; If they're uncommon or rare Inspirations, then they're good enough for our storage...yes, even the orange ones.
Also, try to think of your teammates when making withdrawals. For example, if you're the type of Mastermind who hangs way in the back and lets his pets catch all the hell, then you certainly don't need to be scarfing up all the Lucks which the Dominators, the Regen Stalkers and the hapless Brute who's acting as the designated Freedom Phalanx aggro magnet could put to better use. :think:
Remember that any teammates who aren't with Malice in Wonderland will need a go-between to get Inspirations from the storages, so at least one of us will need to accompany them into the Wonderland base between missions, my faithful droogies. Our base now has four telepads with all seven telepad beacons, so the base can be used to take shortcuts between zones as well. You do have your base teleporter powers, don't you? :cool:
The time I'd like to throw this Strike Force is 2:00 PM Central on Sunday, March 4th. And here's the sign-up roster:
1. Bloodywedd (Lvl 49 Dominator)
2. Owain Venomdrinker (Lvl 50 Mastermind)
3. First Victim (Lvl 50 Dominator)
4. Kryogentic (Lvl 50 Mastermind)
5. Zabimaru (Lvl 45 Stalker)
6. Mr. Mud (Possibly. Lvl 50 Brute)
7.
8.
So sign up and strike a blow for anarchy and disorder, won't you? >:]
