With all the Hammy history lessons going around, I thought a review of Tic's classic guide was in order.
That and it was about to fall off into obscurity.

So I should let it die, along with your linky?
I think not.

We are gonna need a bigger boat.
er...we are gonna need to put together a new guide.
Well, this is from the Freedom forum. It's a start at least.
"We started with 3 basic teams.
1: hami-aggro team. 2 granite (for toxic resist) tanks, 1 emp, 1 kin (emp or kin need recall). Perfectly ideal.
2: Yellow team. We had mostly scrappers with some heal support and each of the scrapps would attack a different yellow at the start, turned out hard to coordinate.
3. everyone else, led by Rose. They started on the greens. Another true mark of this success combined with team 1 that was crucial, me thinks.
We used a 1 minute countdown timer, to give everyone a clue when we were rushing the mitos so as to start the buffs. The hami-aggro team tank1 tp'd themself into hami at 20-15 on the countdown (under EoE protection) and got hami aggro. At about 10 seconds on the countdown, the yellow team tried to all get into all six of the yellows at the same time and dmg/kill/taunt them. The at zero the main mito team/targetter (Rose et al) when straight for the greens. Holds first then kitchen-sink-can-of-whoop-a$$ next, then moved on to blues hoping yellows would be taking care of.
The problem that needed fine-tuning was the coordination of the yellow team, and the amount of EoE used.
The hami-aggro team can get by with about 20 EoE's (2 per tank per mito bloom). Look at the training room threads for exactly how we did this. It worked really really really well.
The yellow team needs more thinking. Rose, Fashion and I talked about some ways to improve the strat and its discussed in the training room forum as well. Bascially we need to change the Yellow team to be 2 teams: 1 team that is 1 taunter per Yellow with support or EoE's and a Yellow *sweep* team that is a spike dmg travelling pack. The main mito team that consists of everyone else in the hive goes after the greens first, holds and range dmg being the keys.
Both the hami-aggro team and the main mito team worked really really well tonight, the yellow team not so much.
Even with the probs, we had a full spawn of mitos knocked out in about 20 mins for the first one down to about 10 minutes once timing was worked out for the 4th one. Like I said, 2 hours 11 minutes for the full thing from when we entered the goo till we killed hami.
With better coordination and double teaming the yellow mito's, EoE usage and the time taken could be significantly reduced.
I went in more detail in the training room threads and am more than willing to share any info or answer any questions via PM's here or tells in-game @bonker"
Yea, the new Hammi is very different and I want an excellent guide such as this when we raid some more.
I've never seen this guide and I have to say I'm very impressed Tic. You have to write another one for the new raids! It's a forum imperative.
Wait a sec...you have never seen this guide? Aren't you in TL, Zombie?
No 
but it's funny I finally decided that I need a new supergroup and so I was going to apply. I was just waiting until I had a bunch of Inf on all my 50s so I could run in SG mode and not worry about funds.
Or you could find a SG/VG that doesn't hastle it's members about such things. Hmm...I wonder where you could find a group like that.

Let me know when you find one. Our SG/VG leader is ebil. If we don't bring in the goods she beats us.
That we enjoy the beatings isn't particularly material, but I guess I should mention it. 
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
*beats EvilGeko some more...just for fun*
And here I was worried they'd take all my fun with the server purge
Someone needs to update this Justice Hami guide.
Here is a link to the Virtue Hami guide. It is close to the way we do it and does a pretty good job of answering most of the questions that someone new to Hami raids might have.
Here is the one I put together several months ago.
Ah, thank you Quat. If you don't mind I will save that link on the TL/CL forums.
That would be nifty, thank you
We should put the hero and villain side Justice Hami guides in one place.
People still raid on this server?

We should raid the abyss, just because.

Necro posting Flea?
Soooo beneath you.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Beneath a flea? Only dirt and pets.
