Good call - I've been developing on the website a bit so I didn't want to open for the public to see till I had some things organized a bit more. Although... I have been posted the site here, and the site is still not finished its time... =) UPDATE Name of Supergroup: The 5 Elements – [5E] SG Officers: Open recruitment for much-needed officer positions. A unique website with a rewarding interactive system JUST for playing the way you like to play! We aim to cater for each style of play. SG Outline: Please visit: https://coh5elements.wixsite.com/homepage on our website. (Under major construction but I want to publish it so maybe others can give me some suggestions?) Server: Excelsior SG Website: https://coh5elements.wixsite.com/homepage

Hey UnlikleyHeroTX, I'm starting up an S.G and developing a website to organize and manage - We have a vision of what we want to be and how we want to drive the website and your post stands out. I have a post in the Excelsior thread here about The 5 Elements Supergroup and have an update post in the "supergroup index" post. However, if you would like to check out our website in its current state (under construction) and see what we are about, we could go from there? Thanks for your time and consideration, Website: https://coh5elements.wixsite.com/homepage

Name of Supergroup: The 5 Elements – [5E] SG Officers: Open recruitment for much needed officer positions. A unique website with a rewarding interactive system JUST for playing the way you like to play! We aim to cater for each style of play. SG Outline: Please visit: https://coh5elements.wixsite.com/homepage for our website. (Under major construction but I want to publish it so maybe others can give me some suggestions?) Server: Excelsior The idea for The 5 Elements is to play on the backstory of the Structural Hierarchy of The Vanguard when they split into five divisions (The Helm, The Gauntlet, The Shield, The Heral, and The Sword) https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki/Vanguard. The 5 Elements represents Water, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Wood. As such members will be categorized and "ranked" according to their MAIN toons powerset. More info can be found on our website (not all of that is published just yet, thanks). The "rank" is really nothing but a "vanity" for the website - no one must feel they need to compete for ranks. Our interactive rewards come in the form of how much you play the game + how active you are on discord and the website forums. If a member does not want to use these features it is perfectly fine, a "casual career path" is rewarding and will make up the BULK of the supergroup. For members who care to be more active on the website and forums... plan events, LEAD missions, and farms... build a place for yourself in the supergroup base and earn rewards just because you play CoH... how you would like to have a leadership roll in recruiting and building this supergroup?? Well, we have the website and system for members who seek the "old clan" feeling. Thank you for your time - check out our website here for more information and I hope to hear from anyone interested! https://coh5elements.wixsite.com/homepage

So I assume you're thinking Eastern mysticism, with a name like that? Water, Fire, Air (Storm), Wood (Plant), Metal (weapons of some sort maybe, or some kind of electric or magnetic powerset? Or just an armored character?) I expect? Or is it just a 'here's the name and we'll work on the concept' thing? I might be in, if a few others express interest and either that's the concept or we can figure out something that works. EDIT: If this is a RP group, it might fly better on Everlasting, though, since there is some RPer population on Excelsior but Everlasting is the 'officially unofficial' RP server so probably more of a RP pop and less of a non-RPer pop. Yeah, that is part of the idea - to group and class according to an archetype. But it goes deeper than that. I'm formulating my ideas a bit better and going to post them soon.

Okay, I have to shoot my idea out to the community and see what takes hold… so here goes: I am looking for a friend or two. Lol – yes this is a “help wanted” add of sorts. Really, I would like to find a couple of like-minded individuals (veteran or new player alike) in order to start a Supergroup with (and just play more regularly with). This will be the core group who will then plan on creating a large, dynamic, and interactive S.G.!!!! I know that an S.G. has no real meaning at this point in the life of a dead game… with a new life… but whatever, if any, meaning that it ever did have, was so that people would join your S.G. and play in “SG mode” to earn prestige and influence which bought and created a better base. Well, we don’t have that. So let’s make our own fun! I like to roleplay and I know the CoH community does as well. I also really like clan/guild websites that have ranks and medals that automatically award for service or time spent in the clan/guild or for special awards and activity awards, etc.. I like that stuff and have always aimed to recreate it on a smaller scale and much more personalized. It’s a way for me to learn a programming language (development-side) and fill the gnawing feeling on my design-brain in order to satisfy that urge to create something digitally. So, here is what I have planned for this Supergroup: • The name: “The 5 Elements” • The mission: To roleplay with a dynamic group of like-minded, interactive people. Organize events using forums and discord, connected to our own personal website (being developed right now), and with plenty of extra-curricular “stuff” awesome-gaming “clans” get into! (Much of this development is personal (and already created or in the works) but very well worth hearing out what I’m thinking and how the idea is growing). • The way we do this: Join up with me then let’s brainstorm and let me bounce my ideas off you, show you what I already have in the works, and YOU come up with what YOU like. The aims to form a really tight core leadership for our Supergroup, and then grow! • The Reason: This game is back and it is tons of fun. I like designing websites and starting clans for every game I play (it’s just a fun hobby, but sometimes it takes off and has a lasting impact). I know for certain this game has fantastic roleplaying. I would like to count on that with some of the custom systems and events I/we could plan for our Supergroup. So, let me know if you are interested… what you think… and so on. Contact me here, on these forums, privately, or just respond to this thread. You could, perhaps… wish to email me or discord me further. Inquire if so. - Thanks
