Continued on with the odd mash-ups between heroes and villains. Lynn Calodo and Kazima joined up with some folks for the Hero/Villain quests (Lynn dinged, Kazima dinged shorly thereafter), then later, over on Virtue, Honor the Flag and Copper Mountain joined in (Honor dinged once, Copper dinged twice).
I’m not all that devoted to the badges, but the gameplay is always good fun.
I need, though, to make a point this afternoon of getting everyone logged in long enough to get the Heart of Xness badge and the toga piece (though very few folks I have, if any, will ever go for the toga thing — well, maybe Velvet). Not sure who, if anyone, I want to still run through the Valentines stories. Torchy, probably, and maybe Velvet. Possibliy Eliza Dee, just because I miss playing her. Heck, we should probably see if we can push the Azures through (“You’re ‘Beautiful,’ darling.” “You’re ‘Beautiful,’ too, dear.”).
The disads of so many alts is coming back to bite us. Though, to be honest, if I *don’t* run those mishes any more, I think that would be fine. It’s the teaming and gameplay on them I’m enjoying, not (once again) going through an incredibly laggy Arachos set.
Honor continues to proceed apace, development-wise. I discovered that she’s still not able to tank a half-dozen orange Arachnos types. Getting better, though, and I seem to have stabilized my endurance needs, even with Energy Melee consumption.
Lynn — is now tied for 4th highest character in my stable, which is mildly alarming. (Though Margie’s soloist, Blue Point, is now tied for second in hers.) It was kind of cool Lynn ending up as one of the more powerful characters in the Valentines group (even when we were facing the right level of baddies). I had some fun playing her, too.
She’s joined up in the new “Nexus Program” (the revised Allies of the Alliance). We’ll see how that goes. In related news, I’ve dropped the (briefly joined) “OOC RP” chat channel, given some folks who’ve subsequently migrated to it. Still finding the “Alliance OOC” to be a lot of fun and meeting my OOC needs.
And briefly got on as PC to get the CoJ tied into the Nexus and the Longbow Elite. It will be interesting to see how (or if) that latter group stays tied to the Alliance, and how each will affect the other.

***Dave Does the Game
Avocet joined Lady Photon too late to do anything on one of her V-Day missions, but proceeded to blast some Pantheon with her. It was amusing to see them both power up with Aim and Build Up, then hit the Shaman with Sniper Blast, after which they’d choose separate targets and hit them simultaneously with Power Blast, followed by Power Bolt. Synchronized Blasting, the newest event in the Herolympics!
Avo’s getting frequent invites to team up with the Longbow Elite folks, but they’re always in a PvP zone, so I decline. Still, I should probably head out that way, as I would like the badges, and debt is no longer worrisome. Indeed, I welcome debt; I just got the Exalted badge for paying off 20,000,000 debt (which prompted LP’s player to use the Praise emote and bow down before the “Exalted One”).
I know one of the leaders of LE assumed the group wouldn’t get into the CU because the player had become something of a pariah. It does seem that one SG is beginning to dominate the CU. I hope that won’t lead to any problems.
