Juicy'Fruit will be ready to make another MSTF badge effort tonight, barring any unforeseen issues. Who else will be there?
Silly work will rear it's ugly head again, so I will have to miss as usual 
. Anyways Lyrina Kyton will be back in Thursday night action on the 28th, so I'll be stalking you all again that night. :P

Well we came, we saw, we did some kicking... unfortunately some got theirs kicked too... 1 death was all it took. After that we had a few more.
We rocked in the Recluse mish. We decided to try "Reckless" mode, in which our tank pulled all 4 AV's, and we took them out one by one, each AV patiently waiting for his or her turn to get a whooping. Suprisingly, no one died at all in our 4 on 8 slugfest. Oh, well, I guess Scirrocco and crew died... but they don't count 
It was a pretty decent STF run, just not quite a MSTF.
Luckily there's always next week to shoot for the badge.
Yeah, it's my fault when it goes wrong.
This past Thursday, Oct 7th, we had enough to run 2 teams that ended up completing their runs in 1:47. One team fell short in the vine room with just 1 vine remaining. Thereafter the team ran more loosely and had some fun, pulling all 4 Inner Circle AVs at once, something we never do on Master runs. They finished with 7 total deaths.
The other team was successful and earned quite a few badges. The team had a lot of +Defense buffs. In hindsight we should have had either the MM or the FF Controller on the other team to spread out that strength. Those earning both Saved the World (for later) and Master's were: FatBaby, Nuclear Winter, Ionic Charge Au and Zero Gravitas. Gizmo the Gopher, Cilicis Scarab, and Gravitation Prey earned their Master's badges.
All the credit goes to the team for playing smart and following instructions.
Congrats to all and here's the team pic.
Congratulations on the success!

actually i earned my Master, i already Saved the World for Later
We did have two teams run last Thursday and neither one was successful. One team had their first death in the Vine room while the other had one during the pull of Ghost Widow.
We had an unscheduled run last Saturday which ended to a homing bomb from the Flier. (I swear I was nowhere near that bomb when it went off!).
Hope to see you on the boat tonight.
With the rarity of CoP runs lately I made it a point not to recruit in STF Masters nor other globals until their 3 teams were filled. We still managed to field two teams.
Onrys team sped through their run at a far higher pace than my team. They had the Inner Circle down when we had yet to get to Aeon in the prior mission. They ended up completing their run when our team was just starting our first Inner Circle AV. We were also being a bit more careful since Zues does not have taunt in his build.
Two wins last Thursday; perhaps I should post about our failed runs more often. =P
I dont have a roster for Team 75, but those earning MSTF badges were:
*Onyx-5 grs1
*Saeko
*Charm Prey
*JuicyFruit
Team 74
Doc Jen
*Lady Illusio
*Grisly Grizzly
Impyre Jr.
*Ms. Mind Over Matter
*Paratus
Angel Jessie
Zues-Tank
*MSTF earned
Congratulations everyone.
Programming Change, beginning in November we will be adding other Master of to our schedule. Currently the plan is to have the first Thursday of each month as Mo of something else day. To be honest Barracuda/Reichsman are not among my favorites to say the least. As a result I dont know either of those very well. I am familiar and comfortable with ITF/LGTF compared to the others.
I presently have just one concern with these runs and that is in regards to participation by the team. Along the lines of minimizing risk there are missions that are safer/faster to have the team minimally involved. I havent decided how to handle those missions and Id like some feedback. Perhaps well run both ways depending on individual teams; let me know how you feel. As most of you that have run MSTF with us should know, I prefer to keep the team involved and to allow the players to bring their preferred alt as much as possible. We usually have plenty willing to alt if there is a need to balance.
I need to get in on this.
Awesome!

Impyre, i will be in as long as im not helping Carnada for the CoP that is trying to get going. i have No issues bringing my Stone/Stone Brute or my Bots/FF MM to these.
I'll try to be there for the Nov. 4th run. My preference would be MoLGTF...Boris has a score to settle with the evil jello.
So the evil Workplace Overlords have deemed it permissible for me to take a day off on a Thursday night. That being said I will be in IP tonight trying to beg my way on a team, looking for that elusive Mo badge. Course the bonus part is we worked so many hours in the first 4 days this week that every hour of vacation tonight counts as overtime.

We had a massive turnout last Thursday for MoLGTF. It was my intention to run just 2 teams but we had a volunteer to lead a 3rd team for which I was grateful. I'd like to thank everyone for their interest and patience as we get this "Master of" together.
Of the three teams two had trouble with mini-Hami, (I'll take the blame as always 
), while the 3rd managed to pull off a victory. That team ran at a very leisurely pace, clocking in around 1:45 or so, off the top of my head. I was a bit surprised that the rest of the team earned their MoLGTF badges on this run. I've only had the badge a week or two prior to this run from a practice run we made.
The badge earners were:
Jessie Purr
Ici Cold
Obsidian Star
Dante of Torm
Dawnrazor
Karnovia Talonhawk
Psytanium
Congrats again to the team.
As a template, subject to change, this is how we handled the mini-Hami encounter. We started by drawing yellow mito agro onto the rikti. Once we had a distraction, the melee dropped the yellow mitos, staying at the very edge of the jello. Once all the yellow mitos were down, we had the ranged team drop the blues from the edge of the jello, as far away from Hami as possible. We had a couple of scares here as a couple of people were slow to retreat during this phase. Once the blues were down, we cleared the rest of the rikti and the pylons (Hopefully I'm remembering the order correctly). With just Hami and the green mitos remaining, I used EoEs while taunting Hami as the team took down the greens and then Hami. Suggestions for improvements to your team leads are welcome, but one key, as always is to make sure the entire team understands the strategy and what they should be doing and where they shouldn't be.
The plan for tonight is to return to regular MSTF run(s). We'll get back to MLGTF on December 2nd and decide how and when to integrate other Task Forces thereafter. Who knows, we may have i19 live and Alpha slots by then.
looking forward to re-doing a few MoTF/SF with incarnate abilities. I can already taste the smackdown!
