** Sign-up layout stolen from Mr. E! Thank you! **

Hey E,

Sign me up as Gabriel Keats - Level 36 Fire/Rad Corr

Sign Scruffy up as TBA

Thanks,
Luna

lol, Last night was awesome!

Artemis went from 45.65 to 48.1! WooHoo!

Oh come on, I'm sure MB thought that was a slow run! I think we did awesome considering how late it was, the crankiness of a few of the people we picked up, and the fact that 3 of us were lowbies, and two of those three were not SK'd.

You forgot to mention that KingSac (Sara Angel) dinged 50! Congrats King!!!!

Super fun as always, great start to the weekend!

I have a third team leader who says they will do it if no one else will. So anyone else willing to lead an all night team? That has done the TF before? Just let me know.


[/ QUOTE ]

Luna, I can lead team 3 if you want - I've certainly done this TF plenty of times before...

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, but then who'll guide me? Thanks I'll keep it in mind for Sunday night. Not sure what's going to shake out at this point. Could be an interesting time trying to get it all worked out.

Ok everyone, I need 6 more people to sign up between now and Sunday night. I think we should look at it being another all night team starting at 10pm Eastern on Sunday and going until it's done.

Anyone past another 6 sign ups will be listed as a Alternate and will only get on a team if someone doesn't show up.

If no one else signs up, then my husband is getting kicked off my team to make us an even two teams

So is this a hard TF or just time consuming?

[/ QUOTE ]

As I've already mentioned Flu, this is just a TIME CONSUMING TF.

The Hunt missions, the defeat alls, and the travel time back and forth is what makes it go long. There is nothing particularly hard about any of it. It's just a lot of missions with a lot to do.

I am happy to report that I was not the most prolific dirt napper last night...

[/ QUOTE ] Was it me?

[/ QUOTE ]

It is possible, but Inducto was doing a bang-up job of dying as well!

I think I only died 3-4 times (not sure if that last one actually counted as the Mission Complete &amp; my death occurred almost simultaneously.) And, I am not counting the 2 self-rezzes I tried after the mission ended...

[/ QUOTE ]

lol yeah, in instances like that, there is no hope of self rezzing. Those just don't count

Villian Only ITF &lt;cough, cough&gt;

Tons of fun last night E! Scruffy kept you so buffed I didn't get to use my Fallout as much as I had hoped .

Thanks for running this as always. I had a blast!

Luna

You have too much time on your hands MB.

Well usually the last Monday in May is something like the 29th-31st.

Eh, Just ignore me, I've got a weird sense of time anyway

[ QUOTE ]
I wanna join, but I don't know how early I have to get up on Monday. So I may just show up last minute and see if there is still room.

[/ QUOTE ]

That works too!

And remember everyone, this is Memorial Day Weekend here in the US. It's a week earlier than usual this year.

Luna

[ QUOTE ]

Anyway, about tonight. I'm always up for some Horde action, but I need a little break for personal reasons. We've had a lot going on lately and I've put some RL things aside. Work has been a little crazy lately too. I was even late to my own (Luna's) event this Monday.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not a problem MB. Just thought it was odd. I completely understand how it is. I think we've all been there before.

Currently I'm the exact opposite, I'm playing CoH more with my friends (y'all) lately to get away from my RL irritations

Just how it goes!

[ QUOTE ]
PS: I just noticed, is MB not joining us tonight?

[/ QUOTE ]


look that way

He probably didn't appreciate me asking him why he kept using unstoppable...

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
The confusion was on my part. Ill run either where you need me; will check back here to see what you decided.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, got it! I'll put you in the "Either list" and we'll figure it out the night of the TF depending on who shows up on Sunday!

Thanks!

Sounds fabulous. I can join the hero one. Don't have a big enough villian so no villian side for me.

I'd love to get a handle on it before it goes live and the Freedom Horde wants to do it

Of course if I cannot find a new supply of Red Swill before now and then, I might be a littly snoozy.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't they dispense Red Swill at every gas station across the country?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but that requires me having time in my hectic afternoon to stop and get some. I consumed the last of my Sugar Free stash last night &lt;sadness&gt;

PS: I just noticed, is MB not joining us tonight?

And I'm ready for you E! I'll have my Fallout ready to go. I'm working on Vengance, but I don't have it quite yet

Of course if I cannot find a new supply of Red Swill before now and then, I might be a littly snoozy.

[ QUOTE ]
i've never done this tf, but if no more qualified person is willing to step forward sure i'll lead a team

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, we'll see what shakes out on this TF as far as sign ups, show ups, and etc goes.

It's one of the most uneventful TF's out there. No great strategy is involved. Just hunt for stuff when it tells you to, fight the bosses when it tells you to, click on glowies when it tells you to.

Biggest thing to know is to make sure you keep 4 people on your team until the end. Otherwise you cannot complete it.

Some of the missions are somewhat stealthable in that you can skip mobs that are not around the glowies you have to click. But other than that, lots of travel back and forth between missions, and lots of missions with the same critters in them.

But lots and lots of merits. yay!

Luna

[ QUOTE ]
Luna...sorry for the confusion. Ill run both nites.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm now I am confused You're options are:

a one night Team starting Sunday Night at 10pm Eastern and running until the silly thing is done (around 4-6 hours).

a two night Team where we split this massive TF up over two nights. It starts Sunday Night at 10pm Eastern as well, running until midnight or 1am that night and then continuing Monday night starting at 10pm Eastern and running until we are done.

Finally you have the option of being on either. We'll put you on whatever team needs a person.

So which would you like?

Luna

Oh Yeah, and I had forgotten that I had a new Power on Artemis last night... Personal Force Field. Would have been nice to use when all those Traitors kept swarming me. Lol.

If only I had remembered I had just picked up that power

Luna

I may need to sit out on this one I have my senior awards night at school that night and I dunno when it will end. Maybe next time?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not a problem! We'll see you next time

[ QUOTE ]
please sign up jim archer for the "one night" team

[/ QUOTE ]

Jim, you willing to run a one night team if we have enough interest? For *now* it seems more people are interested in that route. Just let me know.

Luna

Thank you everyone for coming out last night at such short notice I really appreciate it!

We had a great team going last night. I think we did great since we had 3 people side kicked up. The team was:

ArtemisMoon: Archery/MM Blaster
Fire Con: Fire/Kin Controller
Thorium 232: Rad/Rad Defender
Hatake Katsumi: Widow
FlameUnder: Fire/Energy Blaster
Slayer Faith: BS/SR Scrapper
Muse of Destruction: Crab
Teal Tabby: Invul/Ax Tank

We finished in 1:01:07 minutes. We had 22 deaths, most of which were mine (squishy squishy blaster chow).

All three of us that were sk'd up gained a level, so that was awesome! Thanks for the help everyone!

If I can get fire con to 50 i'll run him since he has fly and hasnt done this yet, if I can't Alt will run this for the third time

[/ QUOTE ]

Isn't Fire Con a 48? This TF caps out at 44, so you'll be fine with him
