Qualified Leaders Needed

Need Qualified Leaders
Please read my entire post, before replying. I am try to gather a couple of heroes to join WITH me to organize and promote a new Super Group.

Greetings Heroes!!!

I am new to CoH and CoV. I love this game!!!! I have created a character named The Black Avian II (15th lvl Scapper/Magic) on the Justice server. I have also formed a Super Group called Aftershock. I would very much like to see Aftershock grow in to a fun, supportive, respectful, and informative Super Group. No themes, all heroes of all archetypes, of all genders are welcome.

I currently have an initial “base” set up, that is the easy part, right? Right! Every Super Group needs good, err, I mean, qualified Leaders. . I believe I am a qualified and dedicated Leader, however I know I can not do it alone. I need help to make Aftershock great, in saying all that I am looking for Leaders to help me accomplish this task. Leaders that are willing to dedicate the time and effort to build a Super Group worthy of the games.

To lean the application process out here is what I am looking for in a Leader: Please note, the follow applies to me more so than anyone else. I will always try my very best to set the example.

1. Trust, Communication and Compromise. As Leaders of Aftershock Trust is paramount, we have to be able to trust each other, not only amongst ourselves but, the members of Aftershock have to trust their Leaders as well. Once Leaders have been chosen, we will be responsible for our members precious and hard earned Prestige and every member has a right to know what their resources are being used for. So, every change to our base no matter how small or minuscule will be relayed to each member of Aftershock. Communication. We must keep each other informed of our availability to the game, there are so many ways to do this, there should never be a communications breakdown between the Leaders. Communication skills will ensure the continued success of Aftershock. The ability to convey ones ideas, suggestions and/or feelings freely and openly are vital to Aftershock’s ongoing goals. I am no dictator and will always be open and approachable to what the Leader and members of Aftershock have to say and their desires, which leads to my next requirement. Compromise. I do not doubt that we will have disagreements, but I genuinely believe there is always a compromise for any situation. When the Leaders have a disagreement on an issue, we will put it to a vote and the result of that vote will be honored. When that does not work (for instance a tie) we will ask the members to vote on it.

2. Dedication. As with all MMORPGs* the time has to be put in to get results. The Leaders of Aftershock need to be available for members. I do understand this is just a game and people have LIVES (well some of us anyway So, here are the some requirements of an Aftershock Leader:

• I would prefer for an Aftershock Leader to live in the Pacific or Mountain Time Zone. However, if you feel you can deal with the time difference in the Central or Eastern Time Zone and show you can, please let me know.

* Aftershock Leaders will be required to make themselves available 4 days a weeks for at least two hours, more would be nice, but....

• Aftershock Leaders may be required to become Exemplars* to help new player learn City of Heroes. City of Heroes can be a bit overwhelming and intimidating, especially for those who have never played a MMORPG*. So we need to be there for those new members that join our team.

• Aftershock Leaders will be required to recruit at least twice a week.

Dedication is the tool Aftershock will need to grow a strong and successful Super Group.

3. Have Fun! Come on, that’s what this game is all about! Right? Right!!! Aftershock Leaders are required to have fun every time they log on to play. I want to take advantage of all that CoH/CoV has to offer Aftershock members. From chatting with friends, doing raids, earning badges, PvP, hunting, doing missions, having costume contests and exploring. And, all the other things I am sure I am missing and anxious to learn about. Once we have a roster of 10 members, Aftershock will start holding weekly events.

4. My part. I love this game, probably because I love comic books SO much! For My part, I am committed to providing members and Leaders of Aftershock with a pleasant role playing experience. I will do everything I can to see to it that each and every member of Aftershock is having a good time and will want to return to our team over and over again.

• I play City of Heroes Mon – Fri, from 7pm to 12am Pacific Standard Time and on Saturday from 7am to 12 pm. I am not available to play on Sundays. I play on the Justice server

• Initially, I am look for 2 Leaders to help me develop the Super Group known as Aftershock. After the core Leaders have developed Aftershock’s infrastructure we will seek out more Leaders.

If the idea of being an Aftershock Leader appeals to you, please contact me at The Avian@hotmail.com or contact me anytime while I am playing City of Heroes, my characters name is The Black Avian II. I look forward to meeting with you and playing some CoH together.

Finally, if anyone has any advise to help me lead a successful Super Group I am open to any suggestion.

*Exemplars are higher level heroes that artificially lower their Combat level in order to adventure with their lower level friends. When you become an Exemplar you will fight at the Combat Level of the Aspirant (lower level hero) and lose access to any power you chose after the level of the Aspirant.
