    i remember the last sentai group we did having a retarded naming structure

    you needed to name your character "_____ Squadron"

    this is a stupid idea. Squadron is a group of people. it is not a word like "Ranger". just because you are in a squadron does not make you a squadron unto yourself

    is that a really lame thing to bitch about? you betcha but it bugged the shit out of me

    Unless inside each suit is a squadron of little aliens. Way to be inter-galactically insensitive.

    We should get a super sentai team going again.

    The biggest hurdle before was keeping everyone aroundish the same level, since mentor tetris. That's totally solved now. My guy is 50 and he's level pacted to Robziel, so he's 50 as well. Supersidekicking makes it EASY to abuse the fuck out of AM.

    FYI: 3 Training origin enhancements + 8 AMs means AM is perma'd. Fun fact for everyone at home.

    Back in like I2 I saw a group of Illusion/Rad Controllers all named Multiple Girl. Except, it was like...MuItuple GirI, Multiple GirI, MuItipIe GirI, MultipIe GirI, etc. And they all looked exactly like female Phantom Army pets.

    Needless to say, that group hit 40 in about 3 days.

    Ever seen 8 PAs, 8 Phantasms, 8 AMs and a huge smattering of aoe debuffs? It's pretty gross.

    multiple girl is actually pretty cool, she runs a bunch of hero TFs and such.

    near as I can tell, all of her characters are 'multiple girl' spelled with different combinations of Is and Ls.

    This was someone's idea way back when. The Phantom Alliance. You had a uniform that was base white with colored accents and a different chest emblem/color based on your secondary (indigo for Kinetics, Green for Rad, Red for Empathy, Orange for fire, yellow for sonic, blue for ice, you get the idea), and everyone's secondary costume was pretty much as close to the Phantom Army as they could get.

    And yes, with a team of 8, even if we all didn't have PA or Phantasm was pretty damn sick.

    Back when City of Villains went live, we had an all-Corruptor group going. Four */Rad (Rad, Ice, Sonic and Dark I think) and two Fire/Dark guys. By level 6, we all had Hasten and stacked AM pretty much perma, and we levelled at a pretty sick rate. I remember farming Barracuda so many times to fill up on SOs too, 'cause they were so expensive at the time.

    We'd occasionally pick randoms up and let them run around with us. We'd say once we all blew our whistles, you had 5 seconds to huddle up for stacked AM, but otherwise go ahead and do whatever. Pretty much everyone that joined up was pleasantly surprised by the buffs.

    an all Arachnos SG would be pretty fucking sweet

    would have a good theme to it, the VEATs have quite a bit of flexibility (each VEAT is basically three sub-classes, really) and all those stacking Tactics auras, my god!

    Squadron was pretty fun, I remember we had a laugh pretending to be aliens and hanging out around train stations, just local chatting amongst ourselves and getting lots of onlookers.

    would be up for another theme group, definitely

    Minus points for enemies that manage to land melee hits.

    Could do an all /storm group, though I think the idea of an all SoA group sounds better. Just needs a theme.

    The theme is "has AM" OR "has venom grenade." Anything else quickly falls apart as people don't like the concept, or the naming convention is stupid, or the required costume is dumb, or they have work, or a birthday or anything else at all, then everyone who has one of these guys will never play it again because "well it's a TEAM and there's just two of us" and stupid stupid stupid. So just roll up a dude and start steamrolling.

    Plus with super sidekicking those of us who have 50s of whatever can just insta-lackey you all up to 50 and start harvesting raw pain instead of having a bunch of people in the channel sit out because they've already got "one of those." No fucking around with bullshit snakes or sewers. Just instant, horrible, never ending devastation.

    They couldn't use any powers while in a form, presumably the bug had to do with Inherent Fitness.

    I believe Dominators were also unable to use Domination recently, fairly serious bug with I19
