I was surprised that we had 3 full teams of brutes running. It's hard to anticipate what will be well attended so i would think all suggestions would be welcome. Then again i still don't know the server/people dynamic's of champion yet.
    I wouldn't go as far as to say that I dismissed it. I was attempted to give history on that particularly subject. But the subject shouldn't be broached as though it was never considered or attempted in the first place, which was not the case. Champion's Redside was never that strong to begin with, which was/is part o' the problem (i.e. server/people dynamic). And yes, I agree, this should help to alleviate that situation. Along with Going Rogue, as I previously mentioned. There's considerably less keepin' people from bein' able to attend Events then ever before.
  2. Updated Events Calendar with fur_nes' Event at 12:00pm (noon) on Sunday startin' with the Sister Psyche Task Force, followed by the Citadel Task Force.
    Also added Tamerlayne's Masters run for Lord Recluse Strike Force on Dec. 3rd, with a back-up date on the 5th (tenative due to player participation and scheduling).

    Thanks to GR, nearly anyone can attend. Blueside isn't really only Blueside anymore. It's literally just a zone now with a level requirement and be a Rogue, Vigilante, or Hero.

    we still don't see a SFX like TFTuesdays
    Funny you should mention this. Strike Force only Events, along the exact same lines o' Task Force Tuesday, have been attempted at least three times on this server, much to no avail. The reason they didn't last is mainly due to lack o' attendence. Hard to have an event when no one shows up.

    .. Or the 'tank only event'.. pshaww at the segregation'
    Tanker Tuesday is the longest runnin' Player Event in the history o' CoH. If Brutes existed when the Event was first created, that might've played a factor. Except Tanker/Brute Tuesday doesn't really roll off the tongue as well.

    /shrug.. we all play what we want and have fun doing.
    If all you're goin' to do is play, then don't complain when there isn't a specific Event for you.
  4. I've added this to the Events Calendar, and after the Redside Hami Raid tonight, I can probably fit it into the BMT MotD.

    That aside, glad to hear things are lookin' up.
  7. I place my hand on the alien machine, activate'em, and bring air to Mars.

    Oh, you mean in CoH? Run 'round the walkways.

    Touche', good sir. Touche'.
  9. Apparently someone spawned Hami at some point in the Hive. So, for Sunday's Blueside Raid, bring EoEs as we won't be gettin'em from DE Monster drops.
  10. Updated Events Calendar with @Stormfront's Stormy Wednesdays with December 1st bein' Buck Salinger's storyarc Flashback'd to unlock the Katie Hannon Task Force.

    This might actually matter if they started at the same time. Which they don't.

    Saturday Raid Start Time: 7:30pm Eastern
    DE Monster Hunt: 30 to 45 minutes Maximum
    Raid Proper Start Time: 8:15pm Eastern
    Raid Duration: 30 to 60 minutes Maximum
    Saturday Raid Finish Time: 9:15pm Eastern
    Total Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes Maximum

    Sunday Raid Start Time: 9:00pm Eastern
    Roughly the same factors and time constraints...
    Sunday Raid Finish Time: 10:45pm Eastern

    9:15pm =/= 10:45pm, or 24 hours.

    You'll be fine. Bring what you want and/or what's requested by @Force.
  16. Happy Thanksgiving, Champion. May you be fat, dumb, and happy on this day.
  17. Events Calendar. Updated when Events get posted to the forums. Contact @Cherry Cupcakes, @Miz Nibbles, or @Cobalt Azurean if you'd like to see your event get posted.
  18. Updated Events Calendar with regularly scheduled Sunday Blueside Hamidon Raid led by @Force.
  19. Which side(s) when? Alternatin' or announced weekly?

    Edit: Updated Events Calendar. Will add further detail as they are forthcomin'.

    Edit: Judgin' from the BMT MotD, says the Hive, so I'm goin' to assume it's only for Blueside at this point.
  20. 'Grats on the real life ding, Neuronia. Many more and all that.

    Edit: And Neuronia's birthday :O
  24. I'm just lettin' you know that there is another event scheduled to run at the same time. I wasn't sayin' that you shouldn't do it.
