With Kate and Aaron, two of our regular CoX co-players, visiting, it was no doubt inevitable that we would end up in some sort of mass CoX play session. And so we did, running around and bopping AVs after hours. We were over at the Testerfolks, and we had Kate, Jackie, Margie and myself out at the breakfast table, while Doyce, Stan and Aaron were in the office.
It was kind of interesting being able to just chit-chat en masse during play, to give verbal “Gather for Invis” commands to the team, and, of course, to see how folks play “in person.” Not much RP, but …
Gameplay-wise, it was not all that much of a challenge, a couple of rote face plants aside. With the players spread from 44 to 50, we could SK/RSK as fit the person whose mish it was, and we basically rolled through the missions — Hype doing his juggernaut imitation, Amorpha and Kin doing massive damage, Puck and Noelle and PC locking them down, and Shock keeping us alive. Good times.
Of the not-yet-50 crowd, Amorpha‘s about half a pip from 45, and Psi-clone‘s around 2 pips, with similar proximity for Puck Bunny to 46 and slightly more for Hyperthermian to 50. And, since I expect we’ll see at least one more repeat over the weekend, I suspect we’ll get a good chance to all ding by then.

I’ve noticed that although Teamspeak is useful for a lot of the commands you’ve mentioned, it tends to hinder RP. Something about not having the same heroic or villainous feel if you have to speak it aloud.
Absolutely. One reason I’ve never driven toward it in normal play.
But, on occasion, it’s fun. And it gave a chance for everyone to moan and groan to Kinetica in person about her seemingly constant death wish.
And, yes, sitting in the same room with Margie means we don’t do much duo role-play with each other, either. Except when she puts on her Kazima outfit and … um, never mind …
So why no picture of the second group over on ***DDtB? Maybe during your next session you can snap a pic of those three for us.
It’s too dark in the office. And the angle is bad. And this was the clique I was hanging out with (they’re all better looking, for one thing).
Sounds like “dark” and “bad angle” might work to their advantage, then! I still want a picture. “Bad” is better than “none.”
For some reason, I picture Stan as laughing a lot when he plays…
Oh yes. Definitely.
