All right, situation is following. After little talk with Scooter and Al Baron, we came to conclusion that its damn hard to find gaming date that would suit all eight players.
Therefore, my M&M game is now in "anyone can play" mode. But what this means? It means that I'm going to set definite dates for both hero and villain games, and anyone who is interested enough can come to play as a "guest" villain or hero. This also means that we will start playing even if one of the "core*" players isn't available.
* Al_Baron, MechMantis, Reynolds, Scooter and Trenog are core players.
Guidelines for guests
1) You must have character done BEFORE game. If you don't know what to do, contact either me or Al_Baron. We will help with character creation.
2) Arrive at least 10 minutes before game starts.
3) Knowing rules beforehand isn't necessary, but try to at least read Rules.pdf.
4) It would be also also nice that you read description of campaign setting. This won't, however, be necessary.
But what about difficulty? If invidual game gets more than four heroes / villains, I simply ramp up difficulty level and make opponents more numerous / stronger.
Current timetable
I haven't yet put up any dates for the games, as Finland changes into winter time next saturday and I need to re-check planned dates as a result of that. But I'm planning that hero team will play during start week's saturday, and villain team will start during next week's sunday. We, of course, can move these dates around a bit if they are problematic. But, please check this thread more frequently and post immediately if you have any problems.

Nope. They are mostly for players that don't want to do character from scratch.
Fixed.
2. What PL do you want guest players to go for?
3. What are your thoughts on some of the powers warned against as potentially unbalancing in the core book such as Mimic, Transfer, or Transform?
4. Where do you want completed sheets?
5. The Setting link appears to be broken!
EDIT/BONUS 6: Hey Salt. You want to make a guest hero or villain? I'll probably go for whichever you don't, unless there is an avalanche of wannabe guests.
EDIT/EDIT/BONUS 7: I may make both a guest hero and a guest villain, 2 separate sheets. For every eventuality!
ignoring bonus 7, I'm probably going to make a villain, if that influences you.
PL 10.
The only powers I heard of that are banned are precognition, postcognition and time travel. They're GM plot devices, not PC powers.
You can just PM them to me or Elkatas.
Great. Could you finish your character (I understood that you wanted to do some changes into alt powers) and send it to me. Plus some background would be also good.
I'll try and make arrangements for any day you guys want to play.
Not enough people posted in time, so it's pushed back to next Sunday.
I'll see if I can have the finished product for you before the end of the week. I'm busy this week with one particular project and next week I have two exams and two assignments due :shock:
Sorry.
Okey dokey.
I posted start dates for both hero and villain teams. If there is any problems, we can move meeting time by few hours.
Aaah, live near Buffalo, do ya? :P
About 10 000 miles to the east. :P
:x
That I was unaware of until this morning.
all i did was leave the chat. I'm still in.
Really. I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it. Surprise parties 3 weekends in a row=not fun.
After good night's rest, yeah, I have came to conclusion that we try to continue with hero team. But villain team? I don't know. Maybe best idea would be (as FierceDeity proposed) to merge villain team into hero team. After all, after Kayne left due time problems and it was revealed that TheOtherHorseMan can't even connect to IRC, our current number of reduced to six players.
P.S. And no, there isn't any problems with your character.
Thanks
Also, just a reminder to keep in mind the time change.
