The Stars of Virtue SG

After taking an extended break from COH (around 2009-10ish?), I came back to Virtue and looked for a new SG. I joined the "Stars of Virtue" for a period of time. Ultimately, they were too small, too new, and did not have the membership or activity to sustain the SG. Here's a picture for the memories.

I'm sure I wasn't much help, as I believe I was transitioning to a new job at the time and could not dedicate much time to the group.

About Supergroups/Guilds

I've learned from experience in CoH and in other games that it helps if you join the same group as someone you know IRL, particularly the group is already established. When you join the group, there's a vetting process, for both sides. Just because a group is large and well known, doesn't mean that it would be a good fit for you as a person and a player. It's sort of like looking for a new job in that respect.

A funny example would be that time I joined an "all girl" group. I thought it would be cool to get to know other girl-gamers like myself, but did not realize that the whole "all girl" thing only applied to one's character. Lots of pink and chat had so much "hugs" and "teehees" and /giggle and stereotypical things that goddamn tweens would do. They also didn't have a vent server. And ultimately, I found out that it was mostly a bunch of dudes with female characters with the breast slider on max, RPing as what they think women would be like. Yeesh.

My perfect group would be an active and friendly smallish-medium group that is established, but growing and are open to new members. The size is dependent on the actual activity of the group. It could be small but very active, or medium and mostly active. Teams and events getting filled up with group members is what makes or breaks a guild, I think. And like I mentioned, it helps if you were introduced to the group through an existing member that you know personally. But as long as they are open to new folks and want to help them, then why the heck not?
