[QUOTE=The Mad Hermit] Ok, I made a mistake at first- I made a villain on the Virtue server; you have the hero group on that one, no wonder I never found anybody. [/QUOTE] You’re not the only one who made that mistake. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=D\_Odds] Maus, let’s fill your Police Radio bar tonight or tomorrow night (if we aren’t Demon Slaying) and run one of those safeguard missions. Those were the best things about CoV. _sigh_, haven’t been a villian in awhile. But I’m _so_ close to my first 50. [/QUOTE] I keep telling Brainiac4 - “at least I got there before Jim.” ---

We’re also less alt-happy than you are. ---

Okay, this is ridiculous. Got on Protector only for it to mapserve and freeze. Tried to get on Champion, where I have some hero alts, only for it to freeze after character selection and now Protector is doing the same. Can’t get on Virtue because due to a “can’t connect to DBserver” error; likewise for Freedom, Justice, Infinity, Liberty, Pinnacle, and Triumph. Can’t access [cityofheroes.com](http://cityofheroes.com) to find out what the hell is going on because _that’s_ down! ---

I made a little blaster on Virtue, but couldn’t remember how to do global channels and such. I’ll look into it next time I’m on, possibly this weekend… ---

Hey, **Oakminster** , I’ve got a young Kheldian. You can add “Dasani Plaxico” to your friends to find me, and I’ll walk you through the global channel set-up. ---

I have some lowbies on Virtue as well, maybe the three of us could team up sometimes? ---

No! No! No! Stop that! Armoury’s almost 40. I am not gonna let you all make me think about making _another_ alt. ---

Arm is currently 2 bubbles (plus one of debt) from 37. I’ll give you a shout when next we’re on. ---

Next time we try a safeguard, I’m bringing a tank. I can lock down one boss with a controller, not two. And we had a heck of a lot of two boss groups. ---

[QUOTE=Maus Magill] Arm is currently 2 bubbles (plus one of debt) from 37. I’ll give you a shout when next we’re on. [/QUOTE] Hey, that’s even better–Brian’s a couple of bubbles behind that. Arm is on Virtue, I hope. > [@D\_Odds](#): > > Next time we try a safeguard, I’m bringing a tank. I can lock down one boss with a controller, not two. And we had a heck of a lot of two boss groups. I tried my first safeguard last night and wasn’t sure what to do, part of which had to do with an improper briefing. I was expecting some generic supervillain, not Nemesis! Then the game told me that the robbers were escaping and put a dot on the map, which turns out to be a Nemesis tunneler but the robbers were nowhere to be found. And I’m unable to stop them when they _do_ turn up. At least I still got a couple thousand XP. Anyway, whenever you need a Tank in the mid/high-30s on Virtue, give me a shout. ---

Only took 3 years, **Brainy** 😉 Now to work on my 4 alts btw 29 and 39. Plus, figure out how to build and play a Peacebringer. ---

[FileFront](http://files.filefront.com/6552414) is offering a free trial of City of Heroes or Villains. I thought that anyone else who hasn’t joined the crowd in the game could see what we’re raving about. I’d also like to invite anyone who wants to branch out to Victory server. I have a villain group called the Evil Shadow Knights, with a fully functional base with all the extras. We’re in the top 100 supergroup list, currently at number 84. Hope to see you in there!
