...and I have set up proximity alarms around Barracuda

I didn't realise I was kicked until someone mentioned it. Apparently after that happened people still in the mish protested, which is nice.

Personally, given how I *can* behave sometimes, my only reaction was "oh, I got kicked for *that*?"

It was like the difference between me saying "OMFG YOU IDIOT WHY DID YOU DIE I HATE U NAO BOOOOO!!!11" and "hmm. You seem to have keeled over old chap. How unfortunate, would you like some tea?"

I was totally up for another try or completing the SF regardless. It would have been useful to see what the whole plan was and whether we could take down Reisch without dying.


Note: If this had been next week and there was an Incarnate component at stake, my reaction would have been quite different

At the start of the final mission I asked if you wanted to fight through the groups to the main room. I said this is what I usually see happen, because it clears all the space for finding/leading the AVs and taking on the ambushes. It's safer, which is good for a master run.

Then when someone died, I mentioned that the groups that had distracted the team wouldn't have been there at all if we had fought through.

That was the full extent of me disagreeing with you. I was more preoccupied with being amused that people were distracted enough to miss teleport prompts than with criticising what you were doing at the time. It didn't bother me that you were forging ahead without explaining what the plan was or considering that some people had no idea what was going on, until you led BS to his aggro location.

Same goes for the third mission. There were people on the team who had no idea what they were supposed to do. While you went ahead with the objectives I sat by the entrance, explained what was going to happen, told people to stay with me or spawn a Ouroboros portal, answered any questions people had (like when Rex asked whether he should exit or not), and exited when Reisch showed up.

I used to get really stressed and bossy in tough SFs, but this wasn't one of those times. With I19 coming next week and me having most of the master badges now, I was happy to just come along for the ride, whether we won or not. The only thing that surprised me was you running BS to the aggro spot, then *afterwards* telling us that we should have been there and not at the door. Some peeps on the team were like "huh? Black Whation?" - they didn't even know there was an aggro spot. They didn't know why you were leading BS, what was going to happen when he got to a certain place, what happens afterwards, etc... we needed to take it slower and explain the whole concept of what was happening, which is why I suggested we take things slow and fight through.

I'd still like to know (genuinely, not in some sarcastic way) two things:

- What was it that you were doing in the second mission with Mueller? Is there some trick in that mission?

- Were you planning to fight Reisch in the final mission and all the ambushes at the same time, or were you going to ask us to retreat and fight the ambushes first, then the main AV?

On the second point, I don't know how we could have retreated from the AV since the tunnels behind us would still have been populated, so I assume you were going to fight everything at once.

Well, all I saw was an Empath run through the map to BS, find BS, run back to the main room, bring a tonne of aggro behind him to the rest of the team, not stop, barrel straight to the point where BS turns hostile, then try to solo BS while everyone else was handling the aggro that had arrived in the room.

I thought it was funny since even his dual-boxed Tank was taken by surprise by the Emp's actions, and that was the same person. Maybe he forgot which alt was which? (actually, that would pretty much explain everything that happened).

But meh, not too fussed. Hope to try again Sunday.

Oh I learned the Inspirs thing back in Issue 7, so got that covered. I know lots of people still only use while up against tough bosses.

I am guilty of ignoring FoN a lot. I Use Demonic and Megalo all the time but FoN not so much.

Sad fact is I have been killed by an EB Citadel while I had 4 lucks active, stupid dice rolls

Totally agree. I am STILL hunting for:

Archetype buttons
Laser projection pens (hero and vill)
Arachnos cape

And now these Utopios. Oh and the new Rikti NPC costume.

I have a lot of rare CoH/CoV/GR merchandise, but not nearly everything.

That's an AE arc right there.

...for one alt. Sure

Related note: I'm not sure if it's 2 common components or two common boosts to make the uncommon boost. Some sources disagree. Could be 32 or 40 shards worth, then.

Don't you have that thing down in front of me! How do I know you're not making faces at me under there?!
