WOW...
2nd run ... 1:24'ish...
3 Controllers, 2 Defenders, a WarShade a Scrapper and a Blaster...
We ripped right thru em!
Sheesh last 2 missions I was on phone and no one missed a beat... sweet!... 
Ok...
we had an awsome Monday Night Moonfire TF that was so popular it spurred a second team and ran along with us!...
MAYBE the Hess will be JUST as popular and I can have someone else running a second team the same time I'll be running one!?
That'd be coool! 
Wha.?
It's Thursday?
Already?
SWEET!
See you guys tonite!

62 minutes and a LotG for my Controller!
2nd run in 20 minutes!

Hey Bod.
I was on that run with my Ill/Rad, Doctor Klein.
Lots of fun on that run. Gained 2 levels from 25 to 27 on that run because I didn't have a sidekick, but since I was mainly debuffing & throwing PA for alpha strikes, it worked out well.
Thanks for the Hess Run, Bod. Way too much fun with 3 Controllers, 3 Defenders, a Scrapper and a Blaster.
Our time wasn't the fastest (85 mins) but it was a great time.
Thanks for hosting!

That was my 7th Thursday in-a-row!...
It's listed in the PinnBadges MotD (The Global Channel where all the "in" crowd hangs... TY KPC) and I do most of my recruiting there and in Broadcast in Striga about 15 min prior to start time.
I'd like to continue this as long as I can and it seems to be gaining momentum!
I have had a few voice concerns over the time though, so I'm thinking I might be pushing it back an hour.
Instead of 6-9 pm Central I may start doing it 7-10 that would make for an 8pm run on both coasts. The first run would be 8pm EST while the 2nd would be 8pm PST...
....and then again, if I can lockup another host to run it with me we could accommodate 2 groups instead of always leaving that one or two folks that didn't make the team.
I've always liked this TF because it's short (always under 2 hours) it's against a lotta robots, it's got an AV and for those that haven't done it on their character yet, it unlocks the dice7 emote.
and for me it's a great prestige gainer along with salvage and a rare recipe at the end. ( of course I've picked up a few rares on the way to the AV also, just random drops during the TF! )
So....
If there's any volunteers out there willing to hop on board each Thursday, and if pushing it back an hour sounds like a wise move, let me know. This would be the place to discuss it!
and for all those that have been with me these past 7 weeks of "Double Dose of Hess" Thank you! Here's hopin' we "YeeHaw!" for many more weeks to come!
We may not have beat the time for the quickest (I've run) but we did do the run without one Death! and actually it'd been a few runs since that had happened. I was on a recent Katie run with Xan and I used my blaster with Vengance, I think she'll be running one next week LOOKING for someone to drop... 
Still kills me he's a "doctor" but a blaster...
But yes, awsome run, lots of folks "dinging" I'd like to think that there's at least three to four folks leveling each time we make that run! If you can get in it at the Minimum of 25 and be in a position to be UNsidekicked you can really rake in the XPeez!

sounds risky.. I will channel the fury of a 1000 war pigs and do rain dance chin digs with a kilt and a bottle of malt liquor... should work ha!
ha for more flavor
Okay....
It's old news but to most prolly new...
Back in the day...
We BETA users were offered a 3 day advance playing time versus those newcomers to the game...
During that 3 day head start, I made the "original" Bodenee after me... at 5'7"... In Outbreak meeting up with White Mage (an original founder of the Elite) He told me my "Bode" was too short... that to make him more like 8 feet tall... ok...
So I Deleted the one I made and remade him at nearly 8 ft tall... when I went to name him Bodenee it told me that name was already taken, well I knew no one took it but it would NOT let me name the "new" Bode Bodenee... so I named him Bodenee' ...
It wasn't untill after I made 50 and made my PeaceBringer that the bug had been fixed and I was able to name him Bodenee... so in actuality.. my "original" (main) is named Bodenee' ...
With the apostrophe!... and he will be running thru the flashback missions to acquire the invite to the Hess TF, THUS my original (main toon) will be running the Hess TF this Thursday!
See ya then!

aww man...
that was a flashback all in itself!!!
...that's when an AR/Dev was an AR/DEV!!!
we won't go into all the nerfs he's aquired since then...
but between you, and a few other tanks...( one that made a "kitty" outfit to match the "doggies" he was herding!--- Oh yeah! Let's not get started on how badly the Tanks have been nerfed since "back then"... 
)
think December of '04 was the last big hurrahs of "lvl 41 will bridge for wolf farming!" or "Need a tank for wolf herding mission!" or the Fav of mine "lfm lvl 50 fruit misson!"
( I had teamed with a veteran of the "dumpster" era and he told me when they hear/see my "YeeHaw!" they kept expecting their xp bar to jump! Was that you?)
You're absolutely, ridiculously senile.
Well, I hope so because reading your posts do nothing for my sanity.
Hey!... I try!
Wow! It's THURSDAY!!!
OK there'll be 2. two, Dos Muchos Teams!!!
The NEW STARTING TIMES WILL BE 7 and 10 pm CENTRAL!!!
That way the first one will be at 8 pm East Coast the second one will be 8 pm West Coast!
Hope to see you there!
XCELLENT 1st run!! My Team of 8 finished in just over 80 minutes!... (more than 3 defeats tho... =p) But 4th Elements 2nd team of 6 (my son) finished in about an hour if not sooner!... second run will start up in about 20 minutes, hope to see you there!(that's right! we had 2 teams running! a total of 14 folks were Hess'in...)
Whoot! Thursday's just around the corner!!
Comin' up on week number 9!!!
Yeah Baybee!
I am working on my other tank for it ... not Terrific but wonderful none the less.
So when are we going to set up to break the 30 min Hess?
It would be nice to try... but with my current lag situation... 20 minutes would be just me zoning...
Number nine... number nine... (Beatles flashback...)
ANYway...
The Ninth consecutive Double Dose of Hess went rather well tonight!...
Tho the 1st run was actually larger and quicker than the 2nd, the 1st round was with 2 teams of 6 each My team finally beat Fourth Elements team with a time of 60 min and 58 seconds! Their's was done in 68 min. upon exiting we were right in the middle of a Zombie spawn that had JUST started! So that was interesting...
First one I ran with my "new" Blaster Frio Caliente... only one bonehead move of the night... on the last mission we're all headed up the volcano to the door... we all know where the door is, problem is, I hadn't called in the mission yet... so, when we opened the door... it was TRICK!.. Huh?? OH YEAH!.. whattabonehead!...
2nd mission was less responsive we ended up running just 1 team of 8, Led it with my Tank, 4 controllers 2 scrappers and a WarShade... interesting combo but the insuing lag from ALL those controller grphx was just WAY too much for my inadequate machine! It was a complete lag-fest for me! We wrapped it up many deaths and 80 min 40 seconds later, only to exit to another Zombie spawn! Well... so I was told anyway, I couldn't make it outta the mission cuz my lag was so bad I couldn't turn around to exit in time!... sheesh!
Still overall number 9 went well! I appreciate everyone who went along for the ride and I hope to see more of you next Thursday!
YeeHaw!
Can't believe this has gone for 10 weeks straight now!
1st run was with 2 teams of 6 each, and Den's team beat me again.. by 10 minutes! he was done in 58 min we finished in 68...
Still...
pretty sure my zoning speeds slowed us down by at least 15 minutes!!
No Numina's for me this time.. tho someone grabbed one on the 1st round and both runs someone snagged the 7.5 LoTG!!
Only 1 run 2nd round, one team of 8.. nearly all of us were on Vent tho so it was definitly noisy!
Hope to see you all next week!
YEEHAW!
1st run was with 7 and well done!
Lag was pitts but done in less than 90 min and grabbed me another Numina!
Sweeet!
Second run to start in about 1 hour.... I MAY be a little late starting that one as I have an errand bout the same time...
