Got my post up, also... If we are going to go the two seperately teams route and kind of have them in competition with each other and what not as we go through the rp, we need to decide a few things.

1) who is going to be on which team and with who?

2) which team will go on which job? Are the teams going to go on jobs together? Which ones?

3) do we need to add to the plot arcs we have planned already to accommodate two teams?

I just want to make sure we all know what's going on ^.^

The moment when we split up in  two teams both groups will essentially follow different story lines. I think the most important aspect when having two groups is that both groups have at least 1 player who is capable, active enough and willing to come up and manage the story lines for his group. Story lines do not always have to come from the same person in the group but it is important that both groups keep moving. You kind of want to avoid that one group is having the time of their lives while the other is lagging behind because no one feels comfortable in taking the lead story wise for their group. See it a bit as having one group headed by the gm and another by a co-gm. Both will need to communicate about when to persue different paths and how to tie both groups back together again to follow new plot lines.

The obvious pick for the first group manager is ofcourse [@Noxxis]. As GM he's in controll of story lines :)

For the other group I think having either [@Animal], [@Leslie Hall] or [@Milkman] as a co-gm to drive the other groups story line. Those 3 players have a bit more presence in the IC/OOC compared to the others. 

Once we have decided who is going to "lead" next to Noxxis we can look into what characters/players have great chemistry through roleplaying as a large group through the first story arc. Or we can make predetermined teams based on who we think will work together well :)

If we're willing to put in the effort, we can have a healthy mix of diverging storylines for some Arcs before bringing both teams back together for one major arc occasionally. It'll just come down to how well we can manage both groups so that every PC is contributing something significant.

I think atm [@milkman] and myself are sort of setting things up in a way where Tristan and Renard would gel quite well in a team.

But teams can also switch and change depending on the mission. We may even split into smaller teams for certain parts of the RP based on the skill sets of each character. Plus it'd be more interesting if we got a chance to RP with characters out of our teams.
