Thevshi Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 That sounds good to me Doc. As I have said in chat, as the latecomer to this party, I am good with what the others want. Link to comment
Gizmo Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Personally, I like the idea of the brownstone, just because it gives the team a chance to hang out like regular human beings on occasion. It seems like you'd get detached from reality pretty quickly, actually living in an underground base hidden beneath an abandoned building. I like the idea of the pseudo-Outsiders vibe, though.

Warmonger Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Yeah I kind of want to stick with the Borwnstone outside base underground type set up. Maybe we can make it a sort of urban mansion even. It is also goign to be by the water so it could look like a house of tommorow. Dont worry Shaen, some of will still "mount up". Link to comment
Heritage Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Okay, I thought someone mentioned Ashton and Grenville earlier, which as far as I know is all McMansions and strip malls; if we're in the West End (much classier!), I vote brownstone, too. If we have a jet, we might need to have a tunnel that leads to it some distance away, for both safety and secrecy. Link to comment
blink Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Then we'll need some kind of cover story as to why seven college aged people are living in an expensive place on their own... with little to no visible means of support. Still I like the idea of the brownstone, although any of them will do. Link to comment

N/A Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Damn! DocA beat me to the trope. Yeah, the situation you described sounds like half the shows that have been on TV in the last 30 years. And Freedom City is nothing if not Trope-heavy. Link to comment
Warmonger Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Maybe this could be the future house? http://franklin.thefuntimesguide.com/im ... ssee-2.jpg Link to comment
Gizmo Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Ye-ah, rent control! Sorry, WM, I can't open your link. It's... forbidden! This the sort of thing we're talking about? (Alternatively, http://www.southholland.org/TownCenter/images/Brownstone_Rendering1A.jpg) Link to comment
quotemyname Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Wow I leave for like half a day and theres like three pages to read >_> My vote goes towards brownstone as well. And yes, doc, I'm happy with all that stuff you wrote. It looks great. Me and a friend of mine will be crafting our own "Let's Play" tonight, but other than that I'm not busy this weekend Dont worry Shaen, some of will still "mount up". *cough* Colt *cough* Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Alright, a brownstone in West End. I think that covers the basics; more can be hashed out in the "meet & greet" thread (which I'll be starting.... soon-ish!) Link to comment
Heritage Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 We actually might want to have have two or three units connected on the inside, like '313-315 Kensington Circle'; I was looking at brownstone floor plans and none of them had anywhere near seven bedrooms in them. I'd be willing to draw up some floor plans for fun, I love doing that stuff. Link to comment
Heritage Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Using this floor plan as a basis, I can design an HQ using two neighboring units side by side. Link to comment
Thevshi Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Well, don't forget, several features would be underground. But, if we go with the roommates idea, we could get by with only one unit. We would really only need four bedrooms, and could convert something else into one (like on the master suite level, that and the reading room could be one large space for the three girls).

Dr Archeville Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 As the stats for the HQ are now Summary of donated equipment points: Colt (4ep) All-Star (5ep) RW (5ep) Jack (4ep) Velocity (5ep) Grim (?ep) Blink (5ep) So we have 28 ep so far, plus whatever Grim wants to toss in (up to 5ep) Interceptors HQ: [14/28ep] Size: Large; Toughness: 10; Features: Combat Simulator, Communications, Computer, Concealed, Defense System, Fire Prevention, Garage, Gym, Living Space, Power System, Security System Defense System: Snare 10 It's Large, which is Mansion sized. That could be a trio of three-story brownstones. Link to comment
quotemyname Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 My brother lives in a brownstone that is more similar to say stacked apartments. It basically looks exactly like some of the pictures here, and it has 4 floors with two apartments each, each with a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and living room. It's small but easily livable for one person. We can make this work. Though if we WANT that much property, I'm okay with that too. Maybe we could sublet some of the intermediary rooms or something to help pay for / make this project not look so conspicuous (or have a place to put people for the "personnel feature") Link to comment
Thevshi Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Well, wouldn't the size include the underground facilities? (I thought the idea was to have some) Link to comment
quotemyname Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Yea me too, so I was thinking of the brownstone as your typical "tip of the iceberg" scenario Kind of like the Xavier mansion from the X-men movies. Link to comment
Warmonger Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Ok here is a differnt image of what I had posted before. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y49/sp ... essee-.jpg Link to comment
Dr Archeville Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Well, wouldn't the size include the underground facilities? (I thought the idea was to have some) Yes, the size of the HQ is the total size, above-ground and concealed underground bits. Link to comment
blink Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Blink doesn't need much space. She's used to barracks type living and her current apartment is no great shakes. Roomies is fine if we go that route, although we can certainly have multiple brownstones together. Who says the upper part of the HQ has to just be one unit? It's not like we're going to have a reception area for people to be calling in on us... are we? Link to comment
