i would like to merge my sg The Divine Order with the SJS using it as a retirement sg for those who have alts and 50s they want to play sparingly.
Seeing as the SJS is a "Catholic" school this would be as if those who wish it to "ascend" to a higher lvl out side of school. we have some tele pads and lvl 50+ enhnancement storage as well as insp storage. we also have a reclainmer and a tree of wonders (auto doc). though playing sg mode isnt nessiary it will be for rent and some improvments. thank you for your consiteration
While I am sorta 'running' the alumni side, I will refer to Mimi as to what she wants to do with how the sg's are set up. As of now, only my 50 and one other 50 are in the group, and I havn't really done anything with the base at all. There was some talk of maybe getting some more people in there, but as of yet, I have heard nothing (altho that wasn't long ago). Anyhow, as I said, I'll follow whatever Mimi wants for it.

I'm am highly adverse to the "retirement" status. Stone has out grown high school yes but I've but way to much effort into him to banish him out. I want to continue developing him as a toon and I see no direction to take him by moving him to either of these sg's. I'd like to discover an option that allows me to interact with sjs members still on a day by day basis.
In my mind there has to be a way to keep graduates around on campus. Perhaps higher education? Maybe some sort of elite sjs for grads whom persue the like of hero work? I'm sure we can come up with something better then just retirement.
The main purpose for the alumni group was not so much as a 'retirement' place for just level 50s. It was made (as least in my mind) for anyone who has gone beyond the school and still wishes to be a part of it. It just so happens that this mostly happens with people who are at or near 50. This sg is coalitioned with the school and schooi, so communcation is easy, just seeing who is online isn't so easy. I had envisioned this (Mimi, please correct me if this is wrong or has changed) as sort of like mentors for the rest of the students. Where you go after school, either right into some sort of hero work, or on to college/some other type of higher education, doesn't really matter much, you would still be an alimni of the school.
However, I'm sure this will also end up doubling as a 'retirement' sg, of sorts. If this is a good thing or not is yet to be seen. I'm guessing that it could also be good for those who want to still play a character, but wants to move a different character into the "main" spot in the school sg.
This is just my thoughts, however, and other stuff I can remember off the top of my head, so it could be wrong.

Moon is pretty on-target. The Alumni group is part retirement, part active 50s. The rule is that you must be 45 to join Alumni is you are a "retiree," but there currently is no rule about restrictions for those characters who plan to stay active, but are graduating from SJS.
Alumni could even be transitioned to include other characters, who have it in their backstory that they went to SJS when they were young (meaning Alumni could recruit an 'adult' character of any level as long as a good SJS backstory is involved).
I think Alumni can be whatever you guys as a SG tell Moon and I you want it to be.
We discussed what made sjs good, we pointed out many things such as back story and concept and since the concept is tight the group is tight. I have yet to see anyone make the transition work so you'll excuse me for not supporting it at all. I really feel like I'm being asked to put a years worth of rp and planning(on both stones) into a guinie pig position. I'm afraid that I can not allow myself to call a "do over" if it fails to work for me. If I wanted to focus on another toon that is fine but stone will always be my main focus. I'm sorry if I'm rehashing the same points here but I feel like no one truely understands what I'm saying. The only difference I see in joining alumni rather then leaving all together is coalition chat, other then that I still (maybe not at first but will over time) become an outsider.
Next sunday I will have something that I hope solves this crisis for the next player who seems to reach what I have. It will have continuity, flow and back story and allow us "grads" to rp effectivly with the sg on an everyday occurance. Maybe even let us still reside in the dorms. It will also allow us to not alienate others by them feeling to young for us.

Yeah, I guess I must be missing something, here. So I look forward to hearing your ideas on Sunday.
On the coalition (Schooi) I have an alt called Witch Warden. As of this post she is level 9. Witch Warden and Francis are the same person. (Think Clark Kent and Superman, only...black outfit, heh). Now Francis is level 38, how do I resolve this?
Witch Warden is Franky's superhero alter ego. In it, she is also going out and trying new spells and new powers that she is just learning (Yay Magic Class!). Hence, she is a lower level, she doesn't know much about them. While Francis Cross using her regular magic is really quite adept, and thus a higher level.
This has allowed me to play the same character within high groups and low groups, which I find fun RP-wise as well as helping out our lower students.
I'm not saying everyone should do this, but I have found it to be a new breath in a character I have had for over a year now and whom I have never stopped playing.
Just wait till Witch Warden hits 20...then she'll also *look* exactly like Franky.
Well, I have a number of ideas regarding what to do with the Alumni group, and with what to do with "graduating" characters, but I thought we were tabling the discussion for the moment.
Honestly, I think we need to start speaking our minds on this, especially with a number of people's mains about to hit 50. I'm going to go start a new thread for just this purpose.
Regardless, the initial topic on this thread was about another SG becoming our "retirement" supergroup. We already have one, SJS Alumni. Case closed?
