Well the Rads are now 45ish, time to think about next theme. I still like the Planets, we started to talk about this 2 themes ago. but never did it. I also like Dynan's idea of the Spartans, and the werewolves. Only thing is not having shields for the Spartans. mslibertytoo.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=themedideas&action=display&thread=417 Els had an idea to use fairy tales, lot of potential with this. Then we have these that have been mentioned in the past. M&M's Billiards Playing Cards And yes i still like Gilligan's Island ;D Please all ideas encouraged, post them here.

As usual I'm up for anything but my preference is some sort of warrior-type theme, like the Spartans. I'm leaning toward a tank, perhaps WP/Battle Axe to match the theme.
And of course we still have dragons and wolves! So many ideas, so little time.

Seems sheilds may come into play after all. So Spartans are a good posibility.

I think the Planets lend itself best, since now there are only 8 planets, and a team can only have 8 players, but the downfall is that someone may not want to be play the powersets that would best fit the concept of a certain planet.
Spartans or werewolves would also be ok, though a bit cliche >_>

Do we want to try to do a Villain side theme instead of heroes again? We could do an all Crab Veat SG and roll thru mobs like a hot knife thru butter Just soemthing to think about since the last time we tried to do a villain side theme was Defective Chess and that didnt last long for some reason

goofing around a little with the shield sets, its almost like playing a VEAT, so a full team of those mixed and matched ATs/power sets, would likely be pretty good, so I suppose a Spartan like group would be acceptable to me

If that was teh reason, nothing would ever get stuck with :-/ and as far as teh NDA goes, I was just basing it what I was reading on the test server before logging into the game, something that even you as a non beta tester, again, could see

I made a Shield/Energy tank on test. They are actually really fun to play, so I'm kinda leaning toward Spartans as well. Gonna make one on Villain side to compare see which side plays best.

Heh just thought of something. perhaps do a Persian theme on the red side and a Spartan theme on the blue side.

OK, we've had a few people inquire about what the next theme will be and when will we start it, so we need to get something going soon, I know most of us made a cop type character and someone commented about doing a Police Academy type SG which got some chuckles outta everyone. So lets get a real idea going, I would think that once we finish the LGTF that we are currently on, there isnt anything really left for us to do on our Ill/rads except AVs and what not, so we could in theory start playing the new theme on the 18th or just wait til the start of the new year, I think that is what we have mostly done, not on purpose but it just seems to work out that way

It's been done but the "Persian" warrior theme is still a good one, or any warrior theme really. Shields seem to fit only a couple themes without getting silly. I saw a Captain America tonight and it looked very nice, but it was still an obvious knockoff. Another cool look might be a gang kinda thing. Futuristic - Tech armor/tech shield. Modern day - street thugs with the pothole shield, shredded clothes. And dragons are always in style Matching shields would immediately identify us as a SG.

One more thing...the new saved costume feature is extremely nice when experimenting with different looks. Highly recommended if you haven't tried it yet.

I agree with starting them after the holidays which would be 1/1/09 or 1/7/09
As far as the theme: If we do a spartan theme we have to wait till we get to the midnight club to and run the TF to get the costumes. So I do like the cop thing but naming it Police Academy my get us nerfed. So I say lets do a cop theme where we could actually do shields and assault rifle. So what we need is a name. My current cop is named Liberty's' Law which is actually a good SG name "Liberty Law" I would re make her with a different name to use Liberty Law as the SG name if we choose to use it.

I think Police academy would only be an issue if we started using names from the movie. A Police academy is basically a place where actual officers go to train. You can see by just doing a search for police academy.

while I have no problem with a police theme after actually playing my shield tank for a little, its not a very fun set to me and trying to find a 2ndary for an AR blaster is

Play any AT you want difoj! I don't see why we should play an all-Shield SG anyway.
I'm going with a Shield/Dark tank. I don't have a high level tank so I'm due.

Yea I know, I had made a comment in a thread about how an all Shield SG would be good, without having played my shield tank @50 on test I would also suggest a differnt 2ndary since Dark Melee is just a god awful set to play, only 3 real attacks and then a bunch of back up utility powers that arent really that great (unless they got buffed up, not sure all I know is that Happy., DM/INV scrapper, was just so boring to play) I think I'll do either a Mind Troller, Grav troller or something with Storm

I heard that Dark was recently buffed and is now a decent set. If not I'll play Shield/Fire.
