7/20 - Imperious (Level 35-50 - Purple - Cimerora) - "Under the Sea" One power needs to be Water-themed / Fish costumes

If nothing comes up, I will try to be there on Fae Tastic - Time/Storm Defender (it just says water themed and time can be made to look like water and storm blast has water powers in it lol).

I'd say Storm Blast definitely qualifies! That one has lots of water in it for sure!

 

I would love if there was the possibility of combining Water Blast with Storm Blast, to make it ALL WATER on a toon. 

But we will probably have to wait for the new powerset in Beta to come live for that.

 

For Imperious, I plan to bring Tainted Waterlily, A Poison/Water Blast Defender. More a Swamp Thing than Fish, but I hope that's ok.

I have to guess that was the intention of terming it "water-themed", so we'll allow this. 😄 Also, we ♥ you!

I love you guys too. ❤️ But I'm happy to change to a water blast character if that's what the theme actually is, I just saw water-themed and was like, let's play with that a bit lol. If the new powerset was ready, I would be bringing a marine affinity character instead. 😂

I hear ya, was just testing it out on beta server. Looks cool!

 

With Trixie's absence, we don't know whose original idea it was or if she had any particular intention, so we're playing by loose rules right now!

Hi Theme Team!

 

I'm going through some pretty severe health issues and need to step back from leading for now. I almost died last Thursday, and if we had followed my PA's advice of going home and drinking Pedialyte, I would have died. Thank goodness for second opinions. I originally was supposed to have surgery next month; however, now, with my heart issues, I'm not sure it will be possible. Please keep your fingers crossed for me for doctor visits this week. I got out of the hospital last night after being in the ICU for a few days and then in a regular room for a few days.

 

I need someone else to step up and lead until I get better. You can decide amongst yourselves whether you want to take turns or have one person lead for consistency's sake. This has all been very unexpected and is a bit overwhelming. I appreciate your patience until I get stronger and can lead again. By the way, I may be able to get on and join occasionally. Everything is up in the air health-wise, so I'll be hit or miss.

 

Warm Regards,

TrixieKixx

[Bananiac]

All the best to you, @TrixieKixx! And get well soon! We will carry the torch for as long a time as you feel you need!

Hope to see you around again in some form or another, once things are getting better! 😷

Thanks, @Bananiac! I truly appreciate it.

[FrauleinMental]

Focus on getting better, @TrixieKixx, and thank you for leading Theme Team thus far!  We'll miss you while you're down, but we'll look forward to seeing you again!

@TrixieKixx So grateful you're okay and made it out of your ordeal alive. 🫂 That sounds absolutely terrifying. Please focus on your health; we'll be wishing you nothing but the best. We look forward to seeing you when you're feeling well to visit. 🙂❤️

You sweet woman, don't worry about a thing! We will move forward on our own, sans your brilliant leadership, as best that we can! We are fine! We really just kind of wing it every week as to who leads... the last time I created the team and managed the TF contact, but I followed others during the missions themselves. We got this! We miss you, but make sure you take care of yourself and pop in sometimes if you can, and The Theme Team shall carry on!

[Jaxman100]

@TrixieKixx you just focus on your health.

[Jaxman100]

So this whole crowd strike issue is probably going to prevent me from being available for a while.

Turns out I can't make it tomorrow. I have family visiting from out of town and it was decided we're gonna do something in the morning together. Good luck to you all!

We're on our last theme for July, so we should get an August slate ready.  We have 5 Saturdays in August, and here's what I've pulled from the event calendar for available Weekly Strike Targets [with the WST and theme we did the last 3 cycles]:

For reference, we did the summer themes for August 2023:

• 8/26 - Admiral Sutter (Level 20-40 – Blue Side – Independence Port) - Beach Day - Costume with your best beach look! Any AT

I've compiled a few ideas for themes, some from previous discussions in the thread:

• Costume Contest - Bring a costume you have (or would) bring to a costume contest
• Disco Forever - Disco/dancing costumes, Skittle ATs (Variety Act)
• Snow Crash - Bring your dystopian cyber/tech costumes!
• Highland Games - Scottish (or Highlander) costumes, Bring out your plaid kilts!
• Steampunk/Victoriana
• "In love with a Preacher(wo)man" - Clergy-themed costumes, e.g. Priests, Nuns, Buddhist or Zen-Monks, or other religion-inspired costumes
• Team Dynamo - Electric/Storm/Kinetic powers and costumes, based on Ban's "Drain it like a Pro!" theme
• Dark Star - All Warshades, dark costumes
• Supernova - All Peacebringers, bright costumes

If we went by cycle, this would be the lineup:

• 3 Aug - Abandoned Sewer Trial (Mairenn MacGregor, Level 38-50)
• 10 Aug - Beast of the Mountain (Virgil Tarikoss, Level 15-20)
• 17 Aug - The MegaMech Cometh (Ernesto Hess, 25-30)
• 24 Aug - Following Countess Crey (Manticore, Level 30-35)
• 31 Aug - Temple of the Waters (Operative Renault, Level 25-30)

Anyone have preferences/suggestions for WST or Theme?
